CHAPTER 44 Sophia''s Words Broke Ace


    Ace was able to get Sophia different styles of dresses before he drove her back to the office.


    He was seated in the couch inside his office when he took out his phone and called Cynthia.


    On the phone…

    "What''s happening?" He asked.


    "Nothing much boss. I already told them about the party and I also created awarenesses so they


    can know what they needed to know. Right now, I''m taking care of other things." She replied.


    "Ok then. Gather ten girls at that assembling hall. I wish to speak to them and organize them by


    myself." He said and ended the call.


    While he was on call with Cynthia, Sophia stood beside him and the moment she thought standing


    beside him and doing nothing was useless, she thought of walking away.


    "Where do you think you are going?" He asked and Sophia sighed.


    "You are my girlfriend now and you don''t have the right to leave me lonely to stay all by myself. Not


    even for one sec." He said, gazing at her.


    Sophia heard his words and got pissed off.


    ''this is maniption.'' she said to herself.


    He stood up from the couch and took a few steps towards Sophia and stood in front of her.


    "You are no match for me. Besides, I''m paying you for whatever service you are rendering to me


    and I''m begging you… please, please, don''t make this too obvious so my friend won''t suspect I''m


    hiding something from him. He believes I will be getting married to you soon!" He said as he


    grabbed her face and spoke directly to her face.


    "Don''t ruin my n." Said Ace as he slightly pushed her. She staggered a bit but was quick to


    regain her bnce by holding the door handle which stopped her from falling to the floor.


    Sophia felt like attacking him. It was either he kills her or she kills him. She had endured him


    enough but she realized she was helpless. Even if she tries doing something stupid to him, there


    was no time she wouldpare her strength to his.


    Sophia gave Ace a wicked gaze and while she gazed, shortly Ace heard a knock on the door. Upon


    hearing the knock, he didn''t say a word. Sophia wondered who it may be as she immediately took a


    few steps away from the door.


    Shortly, Ace and Sophia''s focus was on the entrance door when the door was pushed open.


    Someone walked in. It was Cynthia.


    "Sorry to disturb you sir. I and the girls have been waiting for you for long at the assembly hall. I


    thought you forgot so I thought ofing to remind you of that…" Cynthia couldn''t finish her


    statement. A thick and arrogant voice interrupted her.


    "Remind me as my what? Did I tell you I have lost my memories? What gave you the guts to see


    me as a victim with amnesia" Ace asked.


    Sophia got too ufortable with the way he was speaking to her friend. Who the hell is he to


    speak to her in such a way? She thought.


    The anger burning in Sophia''s eyes made her speak angrily and so rude to Ace.


    "Who do you even think you are?"


    You are rich and so what? Tell me what wrong she said just now! Tell me, you heartless man! You


    are so heartless! You think being rich or having money is everything? Trust me, you are making a


    big mistake! You behave like a God and trust me, your downfall is near."


    All this while Sophia spoke, Cynthia was quiet. At first, she was happy that Sophia had proven to


    that heartless man that she wasn''t scared of him. Sophia made him believe that not everyone was


    afraid of him. Cynthia was liking it but then, she fear about something. She feared that Sophia might


    quit the job or probably, Ace might end up firing the both of them. Whichever one it maybe, Cynthia


    wasn''t ready for it at all.


    Cynthia continued to stay mute as she witnessed the scene.


    "Oh please, don''t give me such a look! What will you do? Call your Bodyguards to beat me up? Get


    me arrested? Throw me out of your office? Fire my friend and I? Get ess to our funds in the


    bank and limit us from having ess to it and any of our sources of ie with the power of your


    influence? What? Tell me! Oh! Of course… of course, that''s what you can do with your money!


    What other power do you have? Do you think if you get poor today, anyone would want to associate


    themselves with you? No one would do that! No one will fear you!" Said Sophia as she took a few


    steps forward and gave Ace a serious gaze. She gazed at him directly into his eyes.


    When do heartless men like you know that money is not everything? When?" Sophia asked as Ace


    stayed mute and was unable to say a word. He couldn''t even call out to his securities or bodyguards


    to push her out of his presence. Her words weakened him!


    "Change before it''s toote. Change before your attitude pushes everyone away from you! Change


    before the world turns against you! Change before…" She couldn''t finish her statement as she felt


    something pull her hand forcefully and lead her out of the door. It was Cynthia. Cynthia held her


    hand and was dragging her out of Ace''s office before she spoils things for her but Sophia was quick


    to pull out from Cynthia''s grip.


    "Get your hands off me." Said Sophia as she dragged out her hands from Cynthia''s arm. She


    looked at Cynthia at the face and spoke.


    "This beast needs someone to tell him a little truth. So, please allow me…" said Sophia as she


    walked back towards Ace and stood in front of him while Ace gazed into her eyes as she said,


    "You disgust me! I hate you!" Sophia said her final words and walked out of the office, walking


    towards the assembly hall as Cynthia followed her.


    Meanwhile, Ace was still mute. The scene his eyes witnessed a few seconds ago, he couldn''t


    believe. It all happened like a movie. The great Ace was insulted by a girl. Not just a girl but the only


    girl his heart beats for.


    She even made it clear to him that he disgusts her and she hates him.


    Ace, remembering all of that, gritted his teeth and groaned so loud as he walked to and fro. He


    angrily hit his folded arms on the wall and shouted.


    "Aaaaaaah!" He groaned again and swiftly scratched his skull in frustration.


    The thought of him realizing she now sees him as a beast really broke him. He got confused on


    whether he should get angry at himself or at the stupid word called "love." If only love was not


    involved, he wouldn''t be going through this emotional trauma. Her words wouldn''t have had an


    impact on him.


    Now that it was happening, there was nothing he could do.


    Shortly, a call brought him back to reality.


    On the phone…


    "Hello boss, good day. I''m calling to inform you that the event center is ready. I''m at the assembly


    hall, waiting sir." Said one of Ace''s guards.


    That was when Ace remembered there were people waiting for him outside.


    He blinked and cleared his throat.


    "Okay… I''ll be there soon." He replied and ended the call.


    After the call, Ace walked into the restroom that was located inside his office and when he got in, by


    the help of the toilet mirror, he was able to keep his face in ce. He took some powder and rubbed


    on his face before he brushed his hair and finally walked out of the restroom, heading towards the


    assembly hall to meet with everyone.
