The Trap Of Ace

Chapter 52

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 52 – With a tight smile, he nodded at me. The fleeting grimace on his face while he took a look at my clothes didn’t go missed.

“I heard there were some problems going on between you two. But I’m glad to see you together today,” he said, though his eyes didn’t match his words.

Ace came back with a shirt on and took the charge of the pancakes from me again. Placing a kiss on my forehead, he said, “I’ve got some clothes for you in the room. Go, change. And then come out for breakfast.”

When did he do that?

But it was good since I didn’t want to roam only into a shirt before Arthur.

Nodding my head, I walked away from the kitchen as I heard their voices.

“What brings you here so early in the morning, Arthur?” Ace asked.

“It was important. I thought to call you but then thought discussing face to face would be better. It’s about the deal with the Russians.”

And the rest of the conversation was cut off as soon as I closed the bedroom door behind me.

“Achilles, as you implied a lot of conditions for the contract, there’ll be a lot of paperworks. And we’re not sure if the Russians will agree to them. They’re quite a big fish in the market nowadays, you know?” Arthur’s gaze set on Ace as he took a bite on his pancakes. “If you want them to work with us, we should consider giving some loose on our conditions, don’t you think?”

When Ace offered him to have breakfast with us while having the discussion, he agreed. Much to my dismay.

Placing some more scrambled eggs on my plate, his left hand went back to my knee as he shrugged. “I don’t mind some paperworks. And no, I won’t change my rules for anyone. And don’t forget that they’re also interested in working with us. Yes, they’re big, but nothing compared to the Valencians. So if they want to do business with Valencian Corp, they’ll have to do it our way.”

They were talking about a Russian company who wanted to expand their business more in the US. And so their first choice was to go for the Valencian Corp. And as they could bring huge money to the company, Arthur didn’t want to let them go. Not to forget the project they were interested in working with us, it’d take about half a billion of investment. So a little mistake and big loss.

And the worst thing was, Arthur was going to handle it.

I didn’t have a bit of faith in this man.

His jaw ticked but being wise, he decided to keep quiet before Ace. And my Mr. Valencian was too busy to feed me more fruits to notice his uncle’s discreet rebel.

Suddenly Antonio’s words rang into my head.

Why didn’t I think of it before?

Enemy from inside. And who could it be other than him? He was doing illegal businesses behind Ace’s back. He threatened Sierra with her life to hide a secret of his. There could be a vast possibility of him being the enemy from inside.

But… could he be foolish enough to go against Ace’s back and join hands with Antonio?

I didn’t know. And the only person who could answer my question was Liza.
