“But the chairman did give you three years…” I murmured while still not quite getting why he was so rushed about this.
If Ace didn’t truly like the idea of merging the companies together, I didn’t see why he had to rush things forward when he had close to three years left to come up with another plan. There was also the option of keeping that as his last resort in case all of his other plans did not work out. Ace was suddenly silent, and I ended up staring at him while wondering what he was thinking about again. For some unknown reason, my heart clenched in my chest as I waited eagerly for his reply.
After a short moment that felt like it lasted so long, Ace turned to stare deeply into my eyes before his lips curved up into a very charming smile. The look in his warm hazel eyes was bright and for an instant, he looked very free of stress. A slight fluttering feeling overwhelmed my chest, and I had no idea why I suddenly felt a little excited.
