The Trap Of Ace
Chapter 15
Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 15 – I shook my head. Why did I care about what he was doing here?
I should just go back to the terrace.
Once back upstairs, I found the meeting was over and everyone was now enjoying their drinks, except Ace. He simply drank a glass of plain water.
And… that witch was now in my seat!
But his attention wasn’t on her, instead those stormy eyes were searching around for something. Until they landed on me. Was that relief that flashed over them?
He beckoned me to him with his head, but I turned around and went to Liza who was talking to two of the Arabs beside the railings. Matt wasn’t here, he went to attend a phone call right after me when I left for the washroom.
“Hey, where did you go?” Liza asked.
“Washroom,” I replied, standing next to her. Nodding her head, she returned to the conversation.
One of the Arabs’ eyes locked with mine as he flashed me a smile. I remember his name was Fazza. At twenty something, with dark hair and tanned skin, he didn’t look bad. But the interest in his brown eyes didn’t match mine.
But out of politeness, I smiled back.
“How long are you working for Mr. Valencian?” he asked.
“Umm, it’s been just a week.” I averted my eyes from his awkward stare.
“Oh, so you’re new here,” he stated. “Though mine working in this field isn’t that old either. I just joined some months ago.”
“You’re a designer too?”
He nodded. “Yep, loved doing these drawings with paper and pencils from my childhood.”
This time my chuckle was genuine. “Well, I still draw the designs with them. Doing it on the computer doesn’t feel connected.”
A grin spread across his face. “Looks like we’re on the same page then.” He glanced at my hand. “You’re not having anything. You need a drink?”
When I was about to answer, an arm around my waist cut me off. A gasp slipped through my lips as I was pulled against a hard frame.
“Sweetheart, what took you so long? I was waiting for you,” he said with jaw tight as stone, casting a look of frost at Fazza. And I just stood there dumbfounded.
“You- you guys are together?” Fazza’s eyes fell where the arm that was wrapped around me possessively.
“Yes, she’s taken,” Ace replied, but it came out much like a hiss. Though his expression was cool, his eyes were hard, as if warning him off, staking his claim on me.
Fazza put his hands up, eyes wide. “No bad intentions here, Mr. Valencian. I was just talking. Anyways, I’ll just take your leave now.”
Once he was gone and so did the others, I tried to wriggle out of his hold but he only tightened it. Huffing, I glared up at him.
