The Trap Of Ace

Read The Trap Of Ace [by Eva Zahan] Chapter 53 – That freaking back stabber!

How could he betray his own nephew like that? He joined hands with Antonio for what? To defame his own family?

What would he gain if Valencian Corp’s reputation ruins in the market? Wouldn’t it harm his bank balance too?

I knew he was not what he showed to the world. But today, after talking to Liza I got to know what a snake he was. Winning Ace’s trust he was now trying to stab him on the back while remaining in the shadow.

And Ace had no idea about this. I had to tell him. But I had no idea exactly how to start this conversation. I knew what was the truth, but I didn’t have any physical proof to show him. Will he believe my words?

Suddenly I halted at my way seeing a certain person I hated with everything in me. Red freaking witch!

Before the conference room, she was talking and giggling with Matt batting her fake eyelashes. And she wore another red dress today.

I almost forgot that the Arabs had a meeting at the office. Arthur’s matter occupied my brain too much to remember anything else.

“Ms. Hutton?”

I turned to Carter who had a surprised look etched on his face.

“I thought you weren’t coming today. Boss said you were on a leave?”

Ignoring his question, I turned to the witch again. “How many meetings will be happening with the Arabs?”

“Umm, I’m not sure, Ms. Hutton. But until the project finishes, it’ll occur several times.”

I glanced at him, pressing my lips together. Several times? No way in the h**l I’d let that witch roam around this office that many times. And definitely not around my man.

Straightening up, I held his gaze. “I don’t care how many times the Arabs come here for the meetings. But make sure she,” I pointed to that witch, “doesn’t step into this building from now on.”

His forehead creased, confusion was clear in his eyes. “But, Ms. Hutton, she’s Mr. Hakimi’s secretary. She’ll be needed here during the meetings. I don’t think Mr. Hakimi would like this ban on his secretary.”

“I’ll talk to him myself. Don’t worry about him. Just do as I say.”

“But…”

“No buts. I don’t want that girl in this office from now on. Is that clear?” my voice full of command as I spoke. I didn’t want to take advantage of the position Ace had given me by making me an equal owner of everything he owned, but I didn’t have any other way to get rid of that witch.

With eyes as saucers, he nodded his head. “O-of course, Ms. Hutton. You won’t see her here again.”

I smiled. “Good. Now please carry on with your job. Is Ace in his cabin now?”

“Yes, Ms. Hutton. He is in there.”

Nodding, I turned around and sauntered away.

Not needing the necessity of knocking before entering his office, I pushed the door open and walked inside with a bright smile plastered onto my face. I hadn’t seen him since the morning. And I was already missing him.

“Ace…”

I was halted at the presence of two other persons who were in the room along Ace. Three pairs of eyes fell on me, leaving me dumbfounded.

S**t! Carter didn’t inform me that Ace was in a meeting in his cabin. The dense ambience around the room told me about the seriousness of the meeting.
