Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+

Chapter 161

I stared at the closed door in confusion as I wondered what I should do now. My hands trembled a little

and my lips felt dry all of a sudden. Her sudden appearance shocked me but the fact that she was

pregnant made an extremely uncomfortable knot form in the base of my stomach.

Why did she come to see Ace? How are the two of them related?

She’s not pregnant with his child, is she?!

No matter how much I tried to keep my thoughts from straying in that direction, that was exactly where

my thoughts ended up going. Why else would a pregnant woman be so angry and demand to see Ace

like this. Ace also did not seem shocked to see her or the fact that she was with child. So, he must

have known already that she was pregnant. Even when I knew that I should try to put some trust in

Ace, it was virtually impossible at that moment and in that situation.

She’s pregnant!

Those words echoed through my brain repeatedly like a scream that was just echoing as it bounced off

the walls of my brain.

“What?! You’re not going to take responsibility for this?!”

The loud scream of the woman from earlier erupted through Ace’s office. I wouldn’t count myself as

being guilty of eavesdropping because the volume at which she was screaming actually forced me to

hear what she was saying. Ace probably responded to her, but I couldn’t hear what he said.

“How can you say that? How heartless can you be?” the woman continued screaming at Ace.

I was frankly too stunned to move from the spot where I was standing. My feet felt like they were glued

to the spot as I stood there lost in a daze. Once again, I couldn’t hear what Ace’s response was to her.

“Of course, you have to be responsible. This is all because of you!” she yelled even louder than before.

After a small pause, the woman exploded again.

“Can’t you see that I’m pregnant. My belly is getting bigger and bigger every day!” she screamed, and I

heard her loud and clear.

“No, I’m not going to keep my voice down! You better sort this out or I’m telling your father!” she

threatened.

I could hardly believe what I was hearing. The most surprising thing was that Ace was bearing with her

and I couldn’t find another reason why he would do something like that unless what the woman was

saying was true.

She’s pregnant and he’s not willing to take any responsibility? Is that it?

My face felt numb from shock and while I stood there in the exact same spot as before. Suddenly, the

door to Ace’s personal office opened with a loud bang. The blonde woman stood in front of me with her

chest heaving up and down in a fit of rage. Her face was a deep shade of red and her eyes were

bulging. I had no idea how their conversation ended but it was apparent that this woman did not get

what she came here for.

Her eyes glowered at me when she saw me standing right in front of the door before her lips curled up

into a smirk. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“Oh, so you’re his new secretary?” she said with clear contempt as her eyes travelled down my body

and then up again.

Her scrutinizing gaze made me feel very uncomfortable and I became too tongue-tied to say anything

to her. She nodded her head as if she’d seen more than enough already before her eyes left my body.

“Well, good luck to you for the job…and dealing with Ace,” she said before she smirked at me again.

I was too shocked to do or say anything. The sound of the office door opening and then slamming shut

announced her departure from the room. Immediately, after she left, it felt like all strength had left my

legs.

“Rina…” Ace called for me.

My body just froze, and a sickening feeling filled my chest. At that moment, I didn’t want to see or

speak to Ace. What should I do? Should I ask him about what just happened?

No, I’m scared. I’m too scared.

I didn’t even want to hear the truth from him. If the truth was going to hurt me more than this, then I

might as well crawl away and die alone in peace.

Ace must have gotten impatient from waiting for me to respond to his call because he came to the

doorway. I didn’t dare to meet his eyes and before he could say anything else to me, I turned and ran

out of the door.

…

My legs were still shaking along with my entire body. My breath escaped from me in short bursts as I

panted. After running out of Ace’s office, I just kept on running. My desperate attempt to flee earned me

many curious and disapproving gazes from the people who I ran past. It wasn’t normal for someone to

be running in the hallway of the office building and they must have thought that I was in a hurry. I only

reflected on this after I had somewhat calmed down. When it actually happened, I didn’t have the time

or attention within me to pay to any of the passerby.

I had no idea where I was supposed to go after running out of Ace’s office. All I knew was that I needed

some time to be alone to think and fully wrap my mind and emotions around what had just taken place.

The blonde woman just now looked very familiar. I must have seen her before, but where?

Where have I seen her before?

‘Oh, so you’re his new secretary?’

Her words came back to me alone with the malicious tone of her voice and the angered look in her

eyes. I’m his secretary now…

I gasped as my hands flew to cover my mouth when it finally occurred to me who she was. It all made

sense to me now. I’ve seen her before and only someone like her would say something like that to me.

That woman used to work as Ace’s secretary.
