“Sorry, I’ve invaded your private napping space…” I admitted jokingly.
“You shall be thoroughly punished…” Ace teased darkly.
Ace laughed teasingly and I began smiling like a fool.
“Are you in your office?” I asked.
“Come,” Ace replied in short before the line disconnected.

After spending hours bracing myself for the bad news that was to come, I found myself extremely surprised by the news that Ace brought to me.
“Where did you go off to all morning? You missed out on quite a few meetings…” I inquired.
“Nowhere…” Ace replied.
In other words, it was none of my business. I pressed my lips into a thin line, but Ace didn’t go on explain anything to me. Instead, he changed the topic completely.
“There’s a party coming up that I want you to attend with me,” Ace informed me casually.
“A party?” I repeated curiously.
