Chapter 27


    ***


    Heather''s POV:


    I watched my favorite show while eating ice cream that Tuesday afternoon. I was more than


    needed them out of my life for some time.


    Shirley came downstairs, hopping happily for nothing as usual. She was like the sister I''d never had.


    "Hey, hon." she called happily as she copsed by me, "I''ve been thinking."


    "About?" I asked amused.


    "The handsome guy I saw in your office." she pretended to faint. I rolled me eyes andughed.


    "Your crazy." Iughed.


    "He''s so handsome! I''m sure he likes you." she wriggled her brows and I giggled.


    "No way. And even if he does, I have Kevin."


    Shirley rolled her eyes.


    "Yeah, right. Your feelings for him are as fake as my nails."


    I burst outughing.


    "Shirley!"


    "What? I''m serious. And by the way, that Sheridan, your childhood lover?"


    I looked at her. I''d told her about Sheridan and everything actually. Shirley was the only person I could


    trust. When she mentioned his name, I felt a little sting in my heart.


    "Yes? What about him?"


    She smiled.


    "You might think I''m crazy but after the picture you showed me of him, I think that Ace guy looks a little


    like him." she smiled yfully. I scoffed.


    "Nice try, Shirley. That''s not gonna make me fall for him."


    "I''m serious!"


    "Shirley, Sheridan is probably dead. Please respect his memory."


    It hurt to say it.


    "But you don''t still believe he''s dead." she held my hand, "What if he actually came back for you like


    he''d promised?"


    "Shirley, we were kids."


    "But what if?"


    I looked at her silently.


    "What if it was Ace?" she wriggled her brows yfully. Iughed. Shirley seemed ready to use any


    story to get me close to that guy.


    "You''re good. You almost got me." Iughed and yfully hit her. Sheughed.


    "I know, I know. I''m a good actor and a convincing liar." sheughed and stood up.


    "Get out of here." I giggled.


    "It''s your choice, baby. If you''re still on Kevin, then I''ll try to get the secretary."


    "Suit yourself."


    She smiled and turned to leave but then stopped.


    "Do you know what the craziest thing would be?" she asked.


    "What?"


    "If this story I just invented about Sheridan and Ace came to be true."


    I looked at her.


    "That would be crazy." I mumbled.


    "I know right."

    Ace''s POV:


    Lunchtime reached but I wasn''t hungry. I continued to work until Sawyer entered my office. Damn, I''d


    forgotten I''d invited her.


    "So Ace, where are you taking me?" she asked, sitting down.


    "Well, miss Sawyer–"


    "Call me Sawyer."

    "Okay. I''ve been quite busy since you left and I totally forgot about the lunch issue. So, I don''t really


    know where to take you. Where do you wanna go eat?" I asked.


    She looked at me.


    "There''s this nice little restaurant not far away."


    I stood up and smiled at her.


    "Then lead the way."


    Sawyer''s POV:


    We reached the parking and I watched him make his way towards an Audi. It was his. Damn. He was


    filthy rich. If I were him, I wouldn''t bother working. I could bet that he was the heir to a huge fortune or


    something. He was clearly richer than Kevin. I couldn''t miss this opportunity.


    I watched him open the car door for me. I smiled and went in. He then joined me in the car and we


    drove off.


    Once at the restaurant, we took a table and ordered. Ace was such a gentleman and so handsome. But


    I knew he was more than that. He was clearly slow water in disguise and was just ying the


    gentleman. He was a little naughty and I could make that out just by talking to him. Hm, I liked that.


    We ate, chatted andughed.


    "It''s delicious." I said referring to food.


    "Yeah. I agree." he looked at me eat, "You seem to be enjoying it."


    I smirked teasingly as put a peace of meat in my mouth. I decided to take my seduction or flirting a little


    further.


    I kept my eyes on his and didn''t leave his gaze for even a minute.


    "Any problem?" he asked with a smirk.


    "Are we friends now?" I asked.


    "Yeah."


    "Good. To repay you for this super invitation, I want to invite you too."


    "Yes?"


    Ace''s POV:


    I waited for her to speak.


    "I want you toe over for dinner at my house, this weekend." she smirked at me.


    Sawyer was just as lusty as her mother. It disgusted me. I tried not show it though. I did my best to look


    a little interested in her offer.


    "I would really love to. But I won''t be able to this weekend."


    She looked at me and pouted her lips.


    "Ooh, seriously?" she asked disappointed.


    I tried to look disappointed myself.


    "I''m sorry. You don''t know how bad I feel right now." I held her hand in mine, "But since we''re friends, I''ll


    make it up to you. What do you want? Ask me anything."


    She smirked and slightly bit her lip. I felt an answer I wouldn''t appreciateing.


    "Well Ace," she put her hand on mine, "You will have to invite me for dinner too." she slightly caressed


    my hand, "At your ce of course."


    I forced a smirk.


    "Great idea."


    Yeah, right. The only ce she''d be visiting would be hell. How could uncle Ken and Heather be so


    different from Christina and Sawyer? They were two worlds apart.


    After lunch, we returned to the office. I was afraid not to be able to act for long because I felt instances


    would soon reach when Sawyer or her mother would try to kiss me. I had to be very careful.
