My eyes widened a little in surprise and I started to feel nervous for no good reason at all. Although it wasn’t supposed to be a secret, I didn’t think that Ace would like to find out that I had met up with his father even if it was because the chairman had requested for me to do so. I wondered if Ace knew about my little meeting with the Chairman already or not.
“I see…” I replied vaguely without wanting to give anything away.
If Ace found out that I met the chairman, he would undoubtedly ask me what we talked about, and I didn’t want to tell Ace that. The fact that I felt clueless about what to do next also bothered me.
“Did you meet him?” Ace asked as his eyes stared directly at my face.
“He…requested to talk to me,” I replied honestly.
