Chapter 286 Not Just Us

If only we could spend all our days working together like this, life wouldn’t feel so bad. I had to admit that work had become so much more fun and challenging at the same time since I started working in Ace’s team and also as his personal secretary. Although our relationship came with a lot of ups and downs, I couldn’t deny that everything made me grow so much more as a person. The joy that blossomed in my chest suddenly felt very bittersweet when I thought that there was no way that days like these could last between us. It was an unfortunately yet seemingly unescapable fact that these days were coming to an end.
Our next stop was only a couple of minutes’ walk from where we were previously. Ace held my hand all the way until we arrived there. I didn’t miss how he paid extra attention to me when we were crossing the road together even if all the cars were at a stop at the red light and there were so many other people crossing the road with us. All the small things that he did for me without saying anything made my heart beat faster and faster. It was getting slightly colder now that the sun was about to descend down beyond the horizon.
“It’s like peak time now or something. Suddenly, there’s so many more people…” I said as I looked around.
