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." Belonging to NôvelDrama.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.
