Did she come here just to watch him announce his retirement from the company?
That wasn’t the biggest question that was on my mind at that moment. My eyes returned to Ace who had bowed apologetically on the stage before smiling a little regretfully at his guests. No matter what, I couldn’t wrap my mind around his sudden announcement.
Why would Ace quit all of a sudden like this?
He clearly did not discuss this with anyone. Even his father didn’t know about it, and I did not know anything about it either. He never talked to me about this. A sickening knot formed in the pit of my stomach when I realized that the only person who he might have spoken to about this matter must have been Elizabeth.
Why? Why? Why?!
Before I knew it, I was out of my seat, and I quickly made my way to the side of the stage with my wish to catch Ace the moment that he got off the stage. I didn’t think that Ace needed to wrap up his speech because it seemed like he had said all that he needed to say.
