Dirty Little Secret

Chapter 48



Ace’s PoV

Max and Charlie are my assistants. I’m now at my company doing some paperwork and fixing some essential documents that need to be fixed. I chose them because if something were to happen to me in the future, I would be able to rely on them.

“You have a meeting after lunch, boss,” Charlie announced as he held the tablet he was holding, and I saw Max enter my office.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Unice and Justin are on their way to the mall,” Max announced, and I nodded.

I let her do whatever she wanted because I predicted that if I didn’t let her do whatever she wanted, I wouldn’t be able to show her that I was slowly changing for the better. I looked through the paper I was holding now and discovered a list of various toys.

“Is this the only document I need to look over? I need more design for the toys; we need something unique,” I exclaimed, and Charlie approached me.

“It’s the designer boss gave me the one,” Charlie replied, and I was thinking about Unice’s favorite toy.

“Could you two go out for a minute? I’ll call Unice,” I said, and they were taken aback when I mentioned Unice.

“All right, boss, take your time,” Charlie answered, and they exited my office; I picked up my personal phone and called Unice; I believe she was already enjoying herself in the mall as I began to call her and looked at the window.

[Hello, Ace?] I heard Unice’s voice, and now I’m at ease.

“Hi, I called you because I wanted to ask you something,” I said to Unice, and I could hear many people in the background because she was already in the mall.

[I’ll look for a quiet place, I’m with Justin, he insists on being with me when I buy something,] Unice explained, and I waited for her signal.

[All right, you can ask me now because I’m here with fewer people.] Unice is assured.

“I’d like to know what your favorite toy is. You know my company is in the toy business, right? Do you have any suggestions for me?” I asked.

[Did you forget what we got at the arcade? I like everything as long as it’s stuff toy,] Unice replied to my question.

“I listed what you said; I think I might call some department to sign a contract to me so that I have many stuff toys to sell and the one you said,” I replied to Unice, who laughed.

[It’s your choice, but you can look up stuffed toys on the internet and find many different styles of them.] I smiled at the suggestion.

“Thank you for your suggestion; please call me when you get home and see you later,” I said while waiting for her response.

[I’ll call or text you, Ace, I love you, take care, and work hard!] She exclaimed, surprising me and making my heart race, and then she ended the call.

I went to the website and looked up stuff toy.’ I saw many designs, and she was correct; I can choose a design here, but it must be unique. I picked up the telephone to call the designer, and she answered it immediately.

[Hello Sir?] I could hear the designer greeting me.

“I found a design for the stuffed toy that we will soon release on the market, and I approve the one you sent to me. I will send you a list of the various designs of stuff toys.” Someone knocked on my office door after I confirmed.

[Noted, sir; I apologize for only providing one document. I will do everything in my power to find more designs for the company.] I ended the call after assuring the designer.

“You can come in now,” I said. When Charlie and Max entered, I recognized them.

“How about your lunch, sir? What drinks do you want with your beef steak?” Charlie approached me, but I was too preoccupied.

“Beef steak is fine with me; I’d like a large ice tea drink.” I made a request.

“Alright, boss,” Charlie exclaimed, and I scrolled down to gather different styles of stuffed toys we would make.

After listing the different styles of stuffed toys, I created an email. Still, before I type a reminder, I notice a new email from a department. Daniel Daffe is the name of the person who emails me.

I opened the email and read his message to me. When I saw his endorsement letter, he wanted to collaborate with my company. Perhaps he has a small business, so he wants to collaborate. I responded to him first and then sent the email I needed to send to my designer.

Several minutes have passed. I answered the phone when I heard it ring, thinking it was my designer. I’m not sure.

[Good morning, Mr. Shelton. I noticed you responded to my email, and this is Daniel Daffe, the owner of the D. O. D Department.] He is waiting for my email; perhaps he is one of Edward’s men attempting to enter my company; I must remain vigilant.

“I read that you want to collaborate with my company; I would appreciate it if I could meet with you personally so that we can settle the contract and further discuss the details,” I remarked as I fiddled with my pen.

[I can meet you after lunch if you want, I don’t have anything else planned at that time,] Daniel responded quickly, and I glanced at the clock.

“Unfortunately, that will conflict with my schedule; I have a meeting after lunch; would you mind waiting in my office? The meeting won’t last long.” I reassured him.

[That’s fine with me! Or you can simply inform me that the meeting has concluded so I can leave my department and go to your office.] Daniel said, and I smirked.

“Then I’ll just inform you, Mr. Daffe, Have a nice day,” I say as I hang up the phone.

It was lunchtime, and I was getting hungry, so I stood up from my seat and stretched my arms. I heard Charlie knock, and Max was still on his phone. He didn’t interrupt me when talking to someone.

“You have a special guest today, boss,” Charlie announced, and I saw Unice emerge from behind Charlie, waving at me.

“I don’t want to go home early; I got everything I wanted!” Unice insisted, and I motioned Charlie into my office.

“You can’t be here right now; please go home.” She was taken aback when I responded.

“Why? Are you trying to keep something from me? You called me earlier, and I gave you some suggestions for toys,” Unice inquired, and I sighed.

“I just want to know your favorite stuff toy; yes, the suggestion is beneficial; however, you can’t be here today because I have much work to do. I’ll be busy after lunch,” I told her, and she pouted.

“Don’t try to stop me; I don’t want to go home,” Unice yelled as she entered my office and looked around.

“Are you thinking that I’m hiding a woman?” I explain to Unice.

“I understand you’re busy, but I want to be here!” Unice clarified, and I palmed my face.

“Okay, fine, I’ll let you. I have a meeting after lunch; have you eaten yet?” I gave her permission.

“I have food here with me. Can we eat here at your office?” Unice asked, showing me a plastic bag containing food, and I nodded.

“Let’s eat now; I have my own food here,” I said, and she smiled back.

We went to the sofa in my office, which has a small table, and I set down the ice tea and began eating, as did Unice.

“It’s great that you’re working hard; I’m proud of you, Ace,” Unice said, and when I looked at her, she was smiling and eating the food she had.

She’s eating fried chicken again, which is her favorite, and I can’t stop her. After a while, we eat, and I drink my ice tea while she drinks her soda. After I finish my ice tea, I gently touch her legs.

“Why are you touching my legs now, Ace?” Unice inquired, and I simply smirked.

“I just wanted to ask if you can accompany me to a meeting. I have a guest today, and I’ll talk to him because he wants to collaborate with me,” I told her, and she was surprised.

“You were invited to collaborate?! That is fantastic! Mr. Shelton, congratulations.” Unice, tease me while smiling.

“Thank you; if I have to leave early, let’s celebrate later.” Unice nodded as I assured her.

“I’ll prepare dinner for us, or if you prefer, we can eat at a restaurant,” Unice suggests.

“How about we just eat outside? Do you have any suggestions?” I inquired of Unice.

“If you want a lot of food, let’s eat at a Korean restaurant,” Unice proposed, and I nodded before checking my wristwatch.

“I need to prepare for the meeting; please accompany me to the meeting room,” I spoke to her quietly, and she nodded before I stood up.
