The Last Laugh
Chapter 71

Ace's POV:
She had the guts to flaunt her teeth at me and greet. Like the hell? The next time she'd try, she'd see some other side of me that she wouldn't appreciate.
I entered the elevator. I had to go for lunch.

That night after work, I was amongst the last people to leave the office. I left the building and headed for my car. I was tired and needed a good night's rest. Heather had left earlier. I missed her already. I wanted her at all times.
I got into my car and headed home.
I reached the apartment and got comfortable. I thought carefully of my next move. While I ate and watched TV, a brilliant idea crossed my mind. It would be perfect to drive Rob and Christina crazy. But I had to wait for the perfect moment. Keith would be very helpful to me for this new idea.
Heather's POV:
"How are things moving with Ace and the plan?" Shirley asked me that night. I was sleeping over at her own place.
"Things are fine but there's one big problem."
She looked at me, slightly frowning.
"Oh no. What again?"
"I can't kiss him and snuggle up with him the way I want!" I giggled and she rolled her eyes playfully.
"Girl, you scared me a little. Thought some bad news was up again," she laughed. I joined her.
"But y'all can arrange that. You can find a little time or a hidden place for your secret meetings," she winked.
"Hehehe, not a bad idea. Sex in the office. That'll be fine," I joked and Shirley's mouth dropped open in playful shock.
"Ohmigosh! Heather, you're deep water. Calm but deep water."
I laughed.
"Was kidding!"
She raised a brow at me.
"Mm, yeah right."
I giggled.
