“Julianna will handle it. It’s mostly marketing and monitoring now. She’s a pro at that, so I don’t see anything going wrong that she can’t possibly handle on her own. Of course, she’ll give
a call if anything major turns up,” Ace replied confidently while navigating the roads.
“Right…umm…what about us?” I asked in wonder.
It was still midday so it probably didn’t make much sense for us to head back to his place right away. Even though I wanted to spend ti with Ace, I was too excited and concerned about the comrcial that I was torn about what I wanted to do. If only, there was a way that I could be with him while doing so work to support to project at the sa ti that would be completely perfect.
“You’ll see…” Ace replied vaguely.
I stared at the side profile of his face as he kept his eyes on the road ahead while I wondered what exactly he had in mind for the remainder of the day. The traffic wasn’t too bad during the midday and we arrived back at Ace’s place in no ti at all. Thankfully, we did not run into the reporters while leaving the building either. Everything seed to be progressing smoothly, if only the launch of the comrcial would proceed as smoothly as this.
“Are you hungry?” Ace asked as he ca to open the car door for .
“Not really…” I replied honestly.
The truth was that I was too nervous about how the comrcial was going to perform to think about anything else. The official release of the comrcial was scheduled for early this evening; however, Julianna had planned for the comrcial to start playing in so key areas of the city such as large screens in the main shopping areas and strategic landmarks before then. That will probably give us a good view of how well the comrcial would do even before the official launch to all channels a few hours later in the evening. Just thinking about it made my hand sweat from anxiousness.
Food was the last thing on my mind when we arrived at Ace’s penthouse suite. The view from the living room never failed to impress ; however, I didn’t have much brain capacity left to take in and process the view today. Just because I wasn’t hungry didn’t an that Ace didn’t want food.

“Should we order in lunch, or should we go out?” I asked although I wasn’t feeling hungry.
“Get changed. Let’s go out,” he instructed as he headed for the bedroom.
“Get changed? Where are we going exactly?” I asked curiously.
“Wear sothing casual and easy to walk in. Casual jeans and flats…” he instructed.
I stared at Ace’s back for a mont before he disappeared completely from view into the bedroom. My legs seed glued to the spot as I cocked my head to the side while wondering what was going on and what Ace really had in mind.
“Get moving, Rina…” Ace called out to
while poking his head out from the bedroom.
“Ok…” I replied.
I wanted to tell Ace so much that if he told
exactly where he intended to take , it would be much easier for
to pick out sothing ‘casual’ to wear. After rolling my eyes, I headed to my closet and pulled out a simple white top, blue jeans, and a jacket. When I had gotten changed, Ace was already done with changing his outfit as well.
“We look like a good match…” Ace said as he eyed the outfit that I had on.
My eyes traveled down his body and up again. The vibe about him changed so much now that he was out of his business suit and dressed in a casual white shirt and simple blue jeans. Before I could ask him what he had in mind, he was already heading to the door.
“Co along, Rina…” he urged.
“Ok…” I mumbled as I quickly followed after him and out of the door.
…
When the car headed in the direction of the largest shopping district in the city, I felt like I had a pretty solid guess of what Ace had in mind. It felt like sothing that he would do; however, I didn’t think that I would be here with him for sothing like this.
“Is this a disguise of sorts? Are we going to spy on people?” I asked while trying my best to suppress my smile.
“Correct. No better way to find out people’s reactions than to be there standing next to them, right?” Ace replied before he flashed
a confident smile.
I looked straight ahead at the many large and tall buildings of the malls located in the shopping district before I nodded my head once in agreent. Ace was right. There would be delays before the numbers ca in and it seed like the best way to judge the audience’s reactions was to be there with them when they saw our comrcial.
“Is Julianna splashing the comrcial everywhere in the shopping district?” I asked with a small laugh.
“Not everywhere…but close…” Ace replied followed by a laugh of his own.
“Did you have this planned out all along?” I asked.
“Of course. Did you think that I was going to sit back in the office and wait for the reports to co in? Isn’t that too boring?” Ace muttered before getting out of the car.
I guessed he was right about that being too boring. Plus, I didn’t think that Ace was the type of person who liked to wait for things to happen. If anything, he was the type who wanted to push for things to happen. Although he acted lazy, when it ca to things that he was interested in or wanted to do, Ace really gave it his all.
“Give
your hand. We can make this feel like a date while we’re at it,” Ace suggested teasingly.
Despite his request for my hand, he was the one who grabbed my hand before I could offer it to him. His hand held mine tightly as he led
along the side walk directly in front of the many large malls.
