Love Slave to My Dev Chapter 230

230 A Private Celebration

My eyes widened and my mouth dropped open at his simple words. I stared at his face before my eyes wandered to the faces of the other team mbers in the room. Their faces mirrored the exact expression of shock that I had on my face. We were shocked but in a very pleased and exciting way. It wasn’t normal for Ace to complint sothing so directly like this. Plus, he didn’t have any other comnts and that was the best thing of all.

“Do you really an it? This comrcial is fine now, right?” I asked breathlessly.

“It is. Make sure that we confirm our next eting with the committee. All relevant teams, please submit the final plans for the launch of his comrcial to the public so that we can get moving first thing after we get the committee’s approval,” Ace instructed professionally.

I was too over the moon happy to care much about the next steps that the other teams had to handle. For , it was already a miracle that the comrcial finally passed its review with Ace. All the noises and everything seem to fade away as I retreated into my own little world to celebrate this success. We’ve worked so hard on this right from the beginning up until this mont and finally, we have made it.

I still rembered the first day that I joined the team and the first task that I was given on this project. I had to say that things were tough in a very different way back then. I received many harsh comnts for the first work that I ever presented as part of this ti. Looking back, that was probably the start of my rapid learning journey and I have made so much progress from that day up until today.

The eting ca to an end, and everyone made their way out of the eting room to work on their net steps. I quickly made my way out of the eting room to follow after Ace. Thankfully, I found him in the hallway after losing sight of him for a while.

“Ace...” I called his na when we were finally alone.

He turned to

and didn’t look at all surprise that I had called out his na.

“Rina...” he murmured my na lazily.

.....

“Thank you, Ace...” I thanked him before showing him one of my brightest smiles.

“What are you thanking

for?” he asked.

“Well, for giving the green light for the comrcial to go ahead, I guess...” I replied.

“If that’s the case then there’s no need for you to thank

for it. I didn’t let that comrcial pass because I wanted to help you. It was good enough to pass and that was why it did,” he replied bluntly.

I should have expected a response like this. Of course, Ace wouldn’t do anything like let my work pass if it didn’t truly pass just to help or please . And that was what I liked so much about him. He really cared about the quality of the work, and he never lowered any of his standards. I was sure that the future of this company was going to be a bright one with Ace as the CEO.

“Even if that’s the case, I want to thank you anyways. You helped out so much on this project. Thank you...” I said before smiling gently at him.

“Co in,” he instructed.

By that ti, we had made it to the front of his office. With work being so busy, I’ve ended up spending most of my ti in the team working room along with Jeremy and other mbers of the team rather than spending ti working in Ace’s office. I obediently followed him into his office while I thought of how much I actually missed working here. Hopefully, things will settle down soon after the end of Project Alpha.

I was about to sit down at my desk when Ace turned to face . His eyes stared into mine and I started to wonder what it was that he wanted. My body froze and I remained standing up as we continued staring into each other’s eyes.

“Co inside...” Ace murmured.

I watched as he turned and walked away from

into his personal office. My head cocked instinctively to the side in wonder. Does he have sothing important to talk to

about?

Knowing that I shouldn’t keep Ace waiting, I quickly followed him into his personal office before closing the door behind .

“Lock the door,” Ace commanded curtly from where he sat behind his worktable.

“Ok...” I whispered before reaching for the door and locking it.

I could feel Ace’s eyes on my every movent and that made

even more self-conscious than before. When I turned back to face him, I could see him staring at my face before his gaze lowered to my chest and then the rest of my body.

“Umm...” I muttered.

“Co here, Rina...” he instructed as his index finger crooked to gesture for

to approach him.

I wasn’t sure what he wanted but I decided to do as I was beckoned. Ace beckoned for

to get even closer to him until I was standing right next to his chair, and he was looking up at .

“Let’s celebrate a little...” he suggested with a charming smile.

“You an for the success of the comrcial’s production?” I asked before returning his smile.

If that was what he had in mind, he should have just told . I wanted to celebrate with him too and if he was free, I was going to suggest that we go out for dinner together after we were both done with work for the day.

“Yes, what else?” he asked playfully.

“What about going out for dinner together tonight? Would that work for you? I can book a private restaurant for us...” I quickly suggested.

I should have known that getting that milestone out of the way would also earn

a celebratory date with Ace. If I had known that I would have added that to my list of motivating factors to get the work done faster.
