I clutched the small note in my hand as I pulled it close to my chest before closing my eyes and letting out my breath slowly. I can’t describe just how thankful I was to Ace for letting me know that the merger was progressing well. He was right and I knew it. We just need to hang on just a little bit longer until we get through this together.
Ace is doing what he must do and that means that I have to do what I need to do too.
“I thought you might be late…” Richard said to me while keeping his eyes on the screen of his laptop.
“Why on earth would you think that?” I replied like I completely had no clue.
After hearing about Richard from Ace, I started to see him in a different light. Ace was probably right when he told me that Richard had been looking out for me in his own way. He might not be genius at expressing his emotions and showing how he cares but it was thanks to him that Ace did not take my relationship with Jeremy the wrong way.
