“Of course, it is. Come this way…” Ace said.
I felt the warmth of his comforting touch on my elbow as he helped support me. The walk felt so long but we finally reached the round table where I could take a seat.
“If you need to greet your guests, you can go ahead. Just leave me here, I’ll be fine…” I said with a smile.
“No need. I’m pretty much done with that. Plus, the main part of the event is about to start,” Ace said as he sat down next to me.
The seats at the round table were still empty and there was no one else there except for us. However, it didn’t take long for the other people to arrive at the table. Although I should have expected it, I was still surprised when Ace’s father appeared and took a seat at the same round table that we were. A few other people that seemed to be his father’s VVIP guests joined him at the table.
“This is Karina, my personal secretary,” Ace introduced me smoothly.
“It is a pleasure to meet you…” I replied as politely as I could.
