Love Slave to My Devil CEO Boss 18+ novel Chapter 328

“Are you awake or not really?” he asked in a low murmured that I found so alluring.

“Maybe…” I replied lazily.

Despite my vague answer, I did succeed in opening my eyes to look at him. I found Ace sleeping on the bed on his side with his eyes on my face. Suddenly, I felt nervous and a little shy so I couldn’t truly meet his gaze. The sound of the rain outside coupled with the way that Ace was staring at me made the environment suddenly romantic. Waking up to spend time with Ace in bed felt like a treat that I didn’t hesitate to enjoy.

“Is it morning already?” I asked while sounding very sleepy.

“Unfortunately, dawn has broken but it’s still very early,” Ace replied before smiling my way.

His alluring smile made my chest feel tight and that reminded me of how lucky I was to still have Ace by my side. Although I wasn’t sure what exactly brought us together, I was thankful for it. Whether it was just a stroke of wild luck, a fateful encounter planned by the heavens, or simply just a non-meaningful coincidental meeting, I felt thankful for it.

The sound of the rain always brought back memories of the darkest days of my life. Many years have passed by since then, but the memories of that rainy day still felt fresh in my mind whenever it rained and I had a quiet moment to myself that was enough for my thoughts to wander. The sudden cancellation of my scholarship back then made me feel like the entire world had collapsed around me and that I no longer had a future in front of me.

Looking back, those dreadful thoughts that ran through my head that day seemed irrational. Losing my scholarship clearly wasn’t the end of the world for me or for anyone for that matter. Being so young back then, I couldn’t see it the way that I see it now. On the bright side, that means that I’ve grown stronger and hopefully more than a little wiser as well.

It was the same as always, every time that the rain made me recall that day, I would be reminded of that inspiring commercial that I happened to laid eyes on and how much impact it made on my life. It wasn’t just at that moment that it changed my mind for the better and gave me hope to keep on living, but that commercial also set the ball rolling for the pursuant for the dream of my career. In more ways than one, that commercial and that moment gave me hope and a purpose in life that I wanted to pursue.

“What are you thinking about?” Ace asked in a slightly teasing tone.

I must have gone quiet for a while when I got wrapped up in my own thoughts. My lips curved into a regretful smile after I had snapped myself out of my thoughts and returned my entire attention back to the handsome man in front of me.

“Nothing. Just something random that I recalled because of the rain…” I replied.

“It is still raining…” Ace murmured although his eyes did not stray from my face to look out of the window.
