Chapter 29


    “I’ll see you around,” Kyle mumbled as he turned to walk away.


    He didn’t turn around to look back at me at all and I was d that he didn’t because I didn’t want him to


    see the tears that were now slowly trickling down my face. I watched him leave in silence as the world


    around me started crumbling down. Of course, I was the only one who heard the loud crashing sound


    of my world breaking apart.


    I looked up at the bleak sky and realized that it had started to snow. Who would have thought that the


    first snow of the season which I always found so beautiful could make me feel so lonely and empty


    inside like this. Unclenching my hands, I watched as small snowkes fell down onto my cold palms. If


    Kyle was still with me, we would be watching the first snow of the season together arm in arm. I bit my


    lower lip as I continued to sob and cry.


    I honestly thought what I shared with Kyle was something special. However, it was clear that I was so


    wrong about us. Being the fool that I was, I even went as far as to dream of marrying him and starting a


    family together. I sigh out loud as I leaned on the railing of the rooftop. Look at the precious two years


    of my young adult life going to waste…


    “Fifteen minutes,”


    What?!


    I slowly turned my head to look in shock. There standing not far from me was Ace Hill, the direct


    descendant of thispany’s founder and current CEO. How long has he been standing there? How

    Oh...no…did he overhear what just happened between Kyle and I?


    Shit…I’m still crying. Did he see me crying?


    So many questions raced through my mind in that moment as I quickly turned away from him and


    wiped my tears away in embarrassment. This is not good…of all the people that I had to meet at his


    moment, I had to meet the Devil CEO.


    If this doesn’t go well, I won’t be losing just by boyfriend today; I’ll lose my job as well. What a day this


    is turning out to be for me…


    “Excuse me?” I said nkly. I didn’t know what else to say and I didn’t get his greeting, if it was even


    supposed to be a greeting, at all.


    “Fifteen minutes. That’s the time you have left to gather yourself back together before your lunch break


    is over. Then it’s back to work for you,” Ace stated tly.


    Back to work? Which means that I still have my job?


    If he overheard what had urred between Kyle and I, he did notment on it. Perhaps this Devil


    CEO did have a streak of rare kindness after all. My luck has notpletely run out yet…or so I


    thought at that time.


    “Thank you, Sir…” I replied softly before bowing a little before turning to leave. I must get off this roof


    top as soon as possible. Being alone with Ace is so scary and so awkward. His presence is just too


    intimidating.


    Just as I turned to leave, I felt a firm grip on my wrist pulling my body back. My body spun around with


    the force of his pull, and I twirled right into Ace’s hard chest. Oh wow…I always thought he was tall but


    now that I was standing so close to him that our bodies were touching, I realized that he was much


    taller than I had previously thought.


    Looking up timidly at his face, I saw him staring down at me with an amused look. For a moment, I


    didn’t know how to process this unusual situation as I lost myself in his sexy hazy brown eyes. I felt my


    lips going dry as we silently stood there staring into each other’s eyes with the white snow falling all


    around us.


    As if ensnared in a trap, my body felt weak, and I was unable to move. Even when the tip of his long


    and elegant finger lifted my chin up, tilting my face up towards his. Before, I could respond, his face


    came closer to mine until I felt his warm lips softly brushing against mine.


    His lips are so soft and warm, it’s making me feel like I’m melting inside. I let out a small moan when he


    increased the pressure of his lips on mine.


    No, wait! Ace is kissing me?!


    My eyes flew wide open in shock when I finally realized what was going on. This can’t really be


    happening!


    I ced my hands on his chest as I tried to push him away. This just resulted in his arm wrapping


    around my waist to keep me from getting away from him. His body is so warm, and I could feel the


    hardness of his firm frame underneath his suit. I cursed at myself silently for noting on how attractive he


    is even in this situation.


    “Wait…please…” I opened my lips slightly to protest against his demanding kiss.


    Instead of stopping, Ace used that opportunity to slip his hot and wet tongue inside my mouth. I


    moaned louder as his tongue teased my own. I was moaning loudly now, and the worst thing was that I


    wasn’t sure if I was moaning in pleasure or in protest as our kiss deepened even further. His tongue


    teased and thrusted against mine while hisrge hand held my head in ce, preventing me from


    breaking away from his aggressive kiss.


    The heat and passion of his kiss reminded me of how he kissed me like this around two years ago.


    Memories of our kiss and of that day when we first met came flooding back into my brain like high


    tsunami waves. I didn’t want to believe it, but after all this time, I still couldn’t really forget about him.


    The feel of his seductive lips on mine reminded me of the few incidents when our paths ovepped.
