Temporary Truce

“No, but you should be because if he does turn up, you’re going to be the only one left here to greet him,” Ace replied before he grinned at me.

I bet he planned this. Something in the back of my mind just told me that he planned this. He was just going to abandon me here so that I would be the one to handle his father if and when he gets here.

“No…I am never doing that!” I exclaimed as I jumped off the bed and raced into the bathroom to get ready.

“It’s still very early in the morning. You don’t have to rush, and you’ll still make it to work on time…” Ace said lazily.

I turned to see him leaning against the doorframe of the bathroom and I just wanted to roll my eyes at him. It was his fault that I was panicking like this. Of course, I had no idea if the chairman would really turn up here, but I didn’t want to take the risk of running into him here when I was all alone. I bet my life that he must still be in a horrible mood right now because of Ace’s sudden announcement last night.
