“Same goes for you. Will you be in the office tomorrow?” I asked hopefully.
“I will be,” he replied immediately.
“Great. I’ll make sure that we run into each other,” I declared enthusiastically.
Ace just laughed at me. The sound of his laughter brought some joy and warmth to my heart. Although Ace was the one who told me to not overwork myself and to get some sleep, I doubt that he was getting enough sleep. Ace had been out of the office and I had to cancel a couple of management meetings that he had scheduled at our company for him. I wanted to ask where he went off to, but I knew that I wouldn’t get any answers anyways even if I did ask.
While I was lost in my thoughts and my worries for him, I realized that Ace was unusually silent. I wanted to see him more than anything at that moment. The night would feel so long because I had to wait to see him tomorrow.
“Is something wrong?” I asked in a small voice.
