Chapter 473 Tempting Invitation
“What kind of work are you planning to do here?” I asked.
I did take note that the building was far too big for it to act as Ace’s personal office and that ant that soon he wouldn’t be working alone.
“Creative and impactful things,” he replied with a confident smile.
“Such as?” I prompted him to explain further.
“Sothing similar to Project Alpha but without the other non-impactful and just for the money type of work. No more making advertisents purely for the sake of selling toothpaste...” Ace replied with a small chuckle.
Project Alpha…
“But don’t all the comrcials we make for philanthropic funds and organizations free work? As in, we don’t get paid for those or even if we do then, not so much…” I pointed out.
“You’re right but that doesn’t an that we cannot find sponsors to pay for both the production of the campaigns and the advertisent of it,” Ace replied.
“I see…” I murmured.
I was finally starting to see what Ace had in mind. Now that I thought back on it, I could recall that there were tis when Ace would ask
about what kind of work that I truly wanted to do. If I had to be honest, I truly enjoyed Project Alpha because of the impact that the comrcial produced could change people’s lives, thinking, and make so kind of impacting change to the society and world that we live in. Of course, sothing like that wasn’t at all achievable for comrcial work that focused on monetizing a certain product or service.
“Decorating this place until it is ready for opening will take a little more ti but hopefully not too long,” he explained.
“What do you plan to do until then? Are you going to start recruiting people to join your new company?” I asked.
“I’m already doing that right now,” Ace replied before smiling sweetly my way.
I wasn’t sure if I understood him correctly but the way that he was staring at
told
that my suspicions might be right.
“? Are you trying to recruit ?” I asked as I pointed my index finger at myself.
“That’s right. I did take you all the way out to see this new office even though it’s not even completed yet. What do you think, Rina?” he asked before showing
a brilliant smile.
I wondered for a mont if anyone could truly turn Ace down when he smiled like that. His smile made
feel warm and giddy inside like my core had slowly lted. It was such a pleasant feeling that went straight to my heart and my head; however, I didn’t fail to realize that my career was on the line.
“You want
to work here with you?” I asked because I was still finding it hard to believe what I was hearing.
“That’s right. I thought I’d made it clear enough. Rina, if you’re interested, it would be great if you could consider quitting your job at the company and moving to work with
here,” Ace said slowly and clearly.
He wants
to co here and work with him…
My first reaction was to agree with his proposal right away. However, I clamped my mouth shut before I would jump in and make a commitnt without properly thinking things through. The way it felt so natural for
to agree with him scared . That didn’t an that it was going to be the wrong choice but since it was such a big deal that would dictate the direction of my future, I wanted to spend enough ti thinking about it and weighing out the options.
“You don’t have to give
an answer now. I just want you to think about it. After all, it’s better to have so options available to you. You don’t need to be stuck at the company forever,” Ace told
calmly.
“Right. Thank you for inviting . I can see that you’re working hard to recruit people. I’ll seriously think about it and let you know,” I replied.
“That’s good enough for . I really miss working with you but if you decide not to join , I can completely understand that. I’ll have to make do with the fact that we’re living together now,” Ace said before grinning at .
He surely knew how to apply pressure in his own subtle way. I would be lying if I said that I wasn’t interested and I was certain that it wasn’t just the prospect of working with Ace that drew
in. The possibility that I could work on comrcials with high impact really got to . After all, the reason I wanted to get into this career was to make impactful comrcials that could change society or people for the better. Lately after the rger of the company, the work that had been pouring in was nothing but common comrcials for the sake of pushing sales.
Although they still allowed
to exercise my creative muscles, I had to admit that they lacked appeal sotis due to the lack of impact. That didn’t an that I wasn’t enjoying my job and wanted to career change. It seed like I truly needed to consider this properly before making my decision.
…
Since the newly built office building couldn’t offer us any dinner, we ended up going to one of my favorite local restaurants in the area instead. By that ti, the place was no longer crowded, and we managed to have the place almost to ourselves. Spending ti out of the city had its benefits for sure. For one, no one really recognized Ace or paid any attention to him. The odds that we were going to run into the paparazzies were also extrely low. I felt so at ease and that made
realize that I might have been on edge without knowing it every ti that we went out together in the city.
“Should we drop by to say hi to your mother? It is kind of late…” Ace asked.
