The Last Laugh

Chapter 24 - Easy

***

I worked while waiting for the right time to go meet Christina.

I waited for lunchtime to reach.

When it did reach, I left my office and made my way to hers.

I knocked at her door and she asked me to enter. I did.

"Good afternoon, Mrs Welds." I said with a smile as I entered her office. She smiled back.

"Hello, Ace. I told you to call me Christina."

"Alright." I took a seat, "Christina."

She smiled.

"That's more like it. I didn't see you this morning."

"I was too busy with the paper work."

"Okay. You- you seem happy this morning."

"Yeah, I'm quite in my mood today." I looked at her. She stared back with a little smirk.

Christina's POV:

I felt some sort attraction or sexual tension between Ace and I. Or maybe I was just imagining things.

Yes, I was probably imagining things. I always imagined things of that sort.

Anyway, Ace was a young stud that I was planning to have. To add to my list. I'd always been the

same. I didn't change. As I grew older, my tastes for younger men in particular, remained the same. I

didn't care. I'd always been shameless. I had the right to do what I wanted.

"So, why did you come to my office? Aren't you going for lunch?" I asked.

"I am."

"Then?"

"Well," he adjusted his tie in an uncomfortable way, as if he was nervous or something, "...I'm only an

employee but I really wanna try that sushi out with you." he smirked.

I felt goosebumps take over my skin. He was a hottie alright.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Last time I refused your invitation in a rather rude manner. Well, I wanna catch up."

"Hm, okay. Let's go then." I got my cars keys. He stopped me.

"I'm sorry but your car keys would be useless. I have a car."

My brows shot up.

"You have a car?"

"Um, yes."

He looked rich and independent. The kind of young man with the right diplomas to build his own

company. Why did he come to work as a secretary?

"Okay then, Ace." I slightly bit my lower lip. He noticed. I'd wanted him to and he gave me a knowing

smirk to confirm it. "Let's go."

He stood up and went over to open the door for me.

"After you, ma'am."

I smiled and made my way for the door.

"I wonder what the other employees would think." I said.

"Well, your car has a little problem and so you asked your secretary to drive you to the sushi

restaurant." he smiled. I laughed a little.

"Good."

I felt like I would really appreciate this sympathetic side of him. He was a nice guy on the inside

apparently. And I was planning on flirting with him. And even doing more.

Ace's POV:

Christina was a disgusting woman. Very easy to fool. She probably already had thoughts of getting

closer to me. I'd simply invited her for lunch, yet she had already started flirting. The smiles I gave her

were a sign of my slowly approaching victory, she thought they were positive answers to her

approaches.

We reached the parking lot and we made our way towards my car. I unlocked it and opened the door

for her.

She stood there surprised, looking at my car.

"Any problem, ma'am?" I asked.

"You- you have an Audi R8 as car??" she asked, dumbfounded.

"Uh, yeah."

"Wow! Why the hell are you working here?" she asked.

I chuckled.

"I need a job."

"Hum! With the money you seem to have, why do you need one?"

"Because I'm still young and I need to work like everyone else."

"Hmp, okay."

"And the Audi is just a gift from my uncle." I lied.

"Oh. Alright. This is wonderful." she smiled happily and got into the car. I closed the door before going

round and getting in too.

"So, where is this place?" I asked.

"Three streets away. Not very far."

"Okay. And oh, I pay."

She looked at me with a smile.

"I believe I'm supposed to be the one paying because I was the one who first invited you." she stated.

I smirked at her. I could clearly see her cheeks redden.

"I'm a gentleman with the right ladies." I replied casually.

She raised a brow.

"Are you trying to flirt with your boss, Mr. Stonewall?" she asked in a teasing manner.

Yeah, right. She clearly wanted me to say yes. I wasn't in a hurry and I wasn't going to give her that

satisfaction. Not just yet.

"I'm just being polite, ma'am. It would be disrespectful if I did."

"Very disrespectful." she pretended to agree.

She was surely disappointed within.

"I'm just trying to make it up for my horrible behaviour throughout the past weeks." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"Okay." she smiled. Bingo.

We drove our way up to the sushi house where we got in and ordered. We ate and discussed a little.

Christina's POV:

Ace was a darling. I was quite a little disappointed though when he didn't admit flirting with me. I'd

wanted him to do so.

For the moment he was being polite but in such a charismatic and seductive manner. He could have

any woman eating from his hand if he wanted. I was already doing so. But of course, I tried my best not

to show it. Ace was someone I would easily get fond of.

"Ace, are you in a relationship?" I asked.

"No. I'm single." he smiled, "And you, Christina?"

The way he called my name with such a soothing voice.

"I'm single." I smiled.

"Nice."

After we ate, he paid for the food and we headed back to the office. It had been a short but nice little

moment. I had a strong feeling Ace was flirting with me. Maybe he was just a little timid or nervous to

admit it.

Younger men were always easy to seduce. Especially for a woman like me. I was a cougar if I could

say with a lot of experience when it came to young studs like Ace.

I'd give him some little time to go on with his flirtatious ways, and then, I would have him eating from

my hands.
