"The Last Laugh" ✔️

Chapter Fifty Seven (Ready)

***

Ace's POV:

That night I thought. I already had Sawyer on my side somehow. I just had to figure out the right solution to her problem. But not now.
I had to think of Christina's case first. Damn, everything was so hard. She'd probably want same as her daughter. But I knew what I'd tell her. She was less stubborn than Sawyer.
But that didn't mean she'd be easy. I would have to apply more seduction schemes with her. I would do every possible thing, apart from sex, that could get me to that position.
I was ready.

*
Tuesday morning, I arrived earlier at work and I noticed many others had done same. Hum. The competition was real.

I went straight to my office and finished the work both Heather and Christina had given me.

At breakfast, I bought cinnamon biscuits again and a cappuccino.
I went straight to Heather's office And knocked. She asked me to come in and I did.

"Good morning, boss." I smiled.

"Good morning, Ace."

"Here are the documents you asked." I dropped them on her table, "And here are some cinnamon biscuits, your favorites, and a cappuccino."

She smiled knowingly at me.

"Hm, seems like everyone really wants that post."

"Yeah, babe. I really do want it myself." I headed for her door, "And I'll do anything to get it." I winked at her and left her office.

Next up, Christina.

I took the documents I was supposed to pass over to her and then made my way to her office.
I reached her door and knocked. She asked me to enter.
On entering, I saw her standing by her large glass windows, having a view on the city, with her back to me. Perfect.

Christina's POV:

I was waiting for the employee who'd entered my office to speak because I hadn't asked who it was.

When seconds passed by and no one answered, I was about to turn around when all of a sudden, I felt strong arms wraps around me from behind and I felt the person give me a soft kiss on my head.
I almost fainted when I recognised the person's perfume.

"A– ace?" I asked.

"Good morning, Christina." he whispered against my ear before giving my neck a soft kiss. I shivered.

"Good morning." I said slowly, enjoying his warmth, "Seems like someone's in a good mood this morning."

"I quite am, boss." he kissed my neck again and I bit my lower lip, trying not to moan.

I could feel the bulge in his trousers rub against my ass.
He soon let me go and I turned to face him. He was so handsome.

"Where's this sudden heat from, Ace? Seems you really want that post." I teased.

"Yes. As much as I want you right now." he eyed me from head to toe.
Gosh. That promotion issue was the best idea I'd ever had.

"Hope you know you have to do what I say." I teased.

He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him.

"I'm at your entire service, boss." he kissed my chin.

Finally. Those three weeks were gonna be fun.

"Nice. Now kiss me rough."

He stared at me for some time and at a point I thought he wouldn't do it.
But then, with his free hand, he grabbed the back of my neck and brought his lips crashing into mine.
He kissed me nice and slow, yet rough.
I felt my whole body shiver and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

He kissed me like crazy and I kissed him back. We caressed each other. Oh, I wanted so much more with him.
With a hand, I took his own hand and put it on my breast. I was so ready for him. I'd been waiting.

"Aqueeze me..." I whispered through a our heated kiss. He did just that and I moaned.

Ace was a strong stud alright. Just how I loved them.
We kissed and kissed until at a point, he broke it and stared at me before stepping back. We both were breathing rapidly. I smirked at him.

"Finished already?" I teased.

He smirked.

"I have a feeling someone's coming."

"You think."

"Yeah. Better adjust."

I did and a few minutes later, there was a knock at my door.

"You're good." I told him and we both regained our seats. "Come in!" I told the person.

Ace's POV:

'Cheap bitch.'

I thought to myself. I couldn't believe I'd just done that but I'd done it intentionally. I knew what I was doing and I knew how I'd easily manipulate the slut.
I was disgusted but I retained myself and tried my best not to be nauseous.
She was so happy. There was satisfaction in her expression.
I smiled to myself. I was her worse nightmare. I wasn't dead. I was there with her. I would destroy her, without touching her.

This same witch who'd insulted me as a child, calling me ugly, telling me no woman could ever fall for me, was amongst the first to call me handsome and find me irresistible. Oh, the day that she would finally know the truth. The day when she would lose everything to me. The day she would see me as Sheridan Wesley, would be the day, her life would forever be destroyed. Hers and her daughter's.

The employee knocking at the door came in to give her some files and information. She thanked the employee and he soon left. She turned to me.

"That was hot. The way you had me in your arms. The way you kissed me." she said.

"You loved it?" I asked.

"If I loved it? I am so horny right now." she bit her lower lip. I would slap her across the face if I could.

Dumbass.

"I am too." I lied. She smiled.

"Really? Can I see it?"

Uh, no.

I smiled and stood up.

"Each thing at a time, sweetheart." I stated and walked out her office, far away from her slutty and disgusting self.
Had to go wash my mouth.

Christina's POV:

Now I knew I was gonna be thinking about Ace all day. Oh, the way he'd squeezed me when I'd asked him to. I bit my lip when I felt that tingle in between my legs.
Ace was a real man. So virile. He clearly loved to be in control. This was a first for me. Normally I was always in control but with Ace, I was gonna make a difference.
