Chapter 481

Securing His Treasure

There was just too much paper and we probably needed a few trips to transport it all out even if we had a trolley. Ace began looking through the folders as if he was looking for sothing in particular.

“Are you looking for sothing?” I asked with the hope that I could help him search for whatever it was that he was looking for.

“No need. I’ve already found it,” he said as he took a folder out of the cabinet.

I watched curiously as he opened the folder and began flipping through the pages of a docunt. From where I was standing, I couldn’t see very clearly what he was looking at. It did surprise

that Ace seed to care about this past work now all of a sudden when he showed no interest in it before. Soone had told him that his old works were all disposed of and he seed fine about it.

“Let’s go. I already got what I ca here for,” he told

casually.

“That’s it? I an, you’re not going to take the rest of it with you?” I asked in slight confusion.

I honestly thought that he was going to take all his old work with him now that he had left the company for good. It felt strange that he was just taking that one folder and that made

wonder what exactly was in the folder that made it important enough for Ace to co back to fetch it like this.

“Let’s just leave the rest here…” Ace replied before walking off.

“Oh…Ok…” I mumbled softly as I eyed the rest of the docunts that were being left behind a little sadly.

Since the docunts were non-living and did not have a heart and mind of their own, I doubted that they felt any kind of sadness or emotions. So, I must have been the only one that felt my heartache a little at the miserable fact that they were being abandoned to sit in the archive.

“I hope soone discovers you soon. Just like so treasure,” I whispered before smiling a little sadly to myself.

…

Although Ace was no longer the CEO, his influence clearly remained. I was surprised that he made no effort whatsoever to hide the file that he had extracted from the archive. What was even more surprising was the fact that the guard made no move to stop Ace. I looked at the guard in disbelief as I recalled all the trouble that he gave

when all I wanted was to borrow so docunts for the archive for just a little while.

Ace turned and took my hand in his before leading

after him. I must have been walking too slowly as I recalled the various interactions that I had with the guard in my head. While trying to ignore the clear double standard of treatnt, I focused on feeling thankful that everything was going smoothly just as Ace had wanted. Just when I thought that we were done with sorting out our things from the office, Ace seed to have a different idea.

“Co with

for a bit, I have sothing to show you,” Ace said as he tugged slightly on my hand.

“Did you forget sothing again?” I asked.

“Not quite…” he replied casually.

“I think I packed all of your things from your office already. Do you want to head there to check again?” I inquired.

Since Ace quit his job, his office had been cleared out but as far as I was aware it was still vacant. Elizabeth took another office as hers when she moved in to work at this building although she also had another office in the Chase Creatives building as well.

“No,” Ace replied without pausing to think.

I was more confused than before about what he had in mind. Ace led

into the elevator before pressing a button to the floor where he wanted to go. If I wasn’t wrong, the floor where we were headed was where the procurent departnt was. By the ti that we arrived on the floor, most people had already left work for the day. I’ve worked a few tis with the procurent team, but it had been a very long ti since I’ve been on this floor.

“This way,” Ace said before leading the way.

All the while he made sure to hold my hand in his. In a way, I was glad that there was no one there to see us together this way. The rows of office desks ca into view, and I had to say that the procurent departnt seed more orderly than what I was used to in the design departnt. As I began wondering why Ace had taken

there, he ca to a stop in front of a normal worktable that looked just like the rest. The table was located right to the side of the room next to the window and had a view of the garden outside. There were many items on the table that showed signs of its current owner but there was nothing noteworthy or anything that drew my attention.

“Do you need sothing from this departnt?” I asked with the only guess that ca to mind.

“I used to work here,” Ace stated simply.

For a mont, I was surprised and didn’t quite know how to take what Ace had just said. I an, I knew very well that he used to work in the company, but I was also sure that he never worked in the procurent departnt.

“Here…as in…?” I prompted him questioningly for more clarification.

“Back when I started working in this building, the procurent departnt wasn’t on this floor. Instead, this used to be the design and creatives departnt. The departnt was much smaller in terms of headcount than it is now, and it used to be located right here on this floor,” Ace explained as he looked around the now-empty office.

I never knew that. Of course, it was normal for departnts to shift and swap floors and move around within the building, but it didn’t happen that often.
