“I think Ace’s idea is fantastic. You should hear him out. After all, you did come out all the way here…” Elizabeth said before she smiled at the chairman.
“I don’t understand you two at all. He broke off his engagement with you and you’re still willing to cover for him?” the chairman asked Elizabeth with a suspicious look on his face.
“I’m not doing this for him. I’m doing this for me…” she replied without backing down.
The chairman was clearly surprised at Elizabeth’s response, and I had to admit that her words only made me more curious about what the two of them had planned. Everyone’s eyes were on Ace as we waited for him to explain everything. Ace was too calm and relaxed for my liking and he didn’t seem to be in a rush to ease the tension in the room.
“This isn’t truly my own original idea. In fact, I’ve pretty much recycled your idea but I’m going about it in a slightly different way,” Ace began explaining.
“My idea?” the chairman asked with narrowed eyes.
