The Last Laugh
Chapter 20

Heather's POV:
I collected the documents from his hand and that was when I was bold enough to look up at his face.
He was handsome. Cute. Elegant. Sexy.
I expected a young person but not as young as he was. When sawyer had described him, I thought she was just exaggerating. She was right. I was lost in thoughts and I forgot I was still staring at him.
"I'm Ace." his voice brought me back. I looked at him. He had a sexy smirk on. I felt my cheeks heat up, like they often did. I was always a blushing mess.
I'd always been quite shy and timid with everyone apart from my sister and mom. It was a habit I'd maybe gotten from my late dad.
"Welcome Ace, to this company." I managed to reply.
"Thank you." he smiled. Damn. Goosebumps.
Usually, boys never had this quick effect on me because I didn't even have time for them. This so called Ace in particular was different and I didn't know why. I'd met guys quite cuter but there was something about this Ace. I couldn't put a finger on it.
I smiled back.
"I heard you're the first daughter of Mrs Welds?"
"Yes."
"And the most beautiful."
I looked at him, speechless at his frowardness. He was good but I wasn't going let him think he could start flirting with whosoever. He was still an employee. I had to put my timidness away and be strict if I had to put him back in place and remind him that I was boss.
"I believe you have other things to do." I stated, leaning into my chair.
"Not really. It's just my first day. But it's okay." he stood straight and pocketed his hands, "It seems I'm bothering you?"
"Yes."
"Sorry." he smiled and turned to leave when Sawyer came in.
"Oh. I see you've met the secretary." she said with a smile.
"Yeah. I have." I looked at him. He looked at me and then left.
