Chapter 280 Sneaking Out Together

• The event did not end quite as we had all expected. In the end, the buzz of questions around Ace’s upcoming retirement from his position as the CEO did die down a little and the crowd of reporters was brought under control by the security team. There was a moment of peace before order was restored and the press’s attention shifted back to what was supposed to be the focus of the event which was the launch of the commercial.
• I began wondering what would be covered more in the news between Ace’s retirement confirmation or the launch of the commercial. If I had to make a guess, I would bet on the topic of Ace quitting his job. Hopefully, Julianna had some backup plan to deal with this so that Project Alpha wouldn’t be impacted. There was also the possibility that the commercial might gain a lot more popularity and views by riding on the back of the news related to Ace. Whatever was going to happen, I prayed for the commercial to be a success.
• Toward the end of the event, the questions turned back to Ace’s personal career again and many questions were asked about what he intended to do after leaving the company. Those questions really brought me to the edge of my seat although I had a feeling that Ace wasn’t going to give anyone a straightforward answer.
