Regret soon consumed Ace after the divorce. He never expected that his boring ex-wife would move on overnight, and be living her best life. Not only did a young heir of an influential family claim to be her underling, but a famous celebrity confessed to being her fan as well. Even one of the wealthiest people in the country referred to her as their senior. “I don't care how strong your background is, Joanna Pierce. I'll make sure to tear down your walls!” With that, the second son of the Moran family set out to protect the woman in secret. Ace: "My ex-wife is so fragile that she can't even stand on her own two feet, you mustn't take advantage of her." To which everyone replied, "Who would dare to mess with her? She'd rip our heads off if we ever get into a minor disagreement!' Ace : "My ex-wife is far too naive, you shouldn't toy with her feelings" And yet people would say, "I’m sorry? We've never seen a naive woman act so unapologetically!' Ace: "Come, darling. Let me introduce you to this powerful figure!" To which the powerful figure responded with a deep bow, "No, no, she's the boss around these parts!” Since then, Ace has had to live a double life. He was an almighty CEO during the day, but come night time,he'd be sobbing on his knees, hoping to win Joanna's heart back.
"What is this?"
Ace picked up the Louboutin in confusion, only to realize that it was lipstick after a long, careful inspection.
With her arms crossed, Joanna annoyedly said to the man behind her, "Stop pretending. I found this on the plane. Don't tell me you've never seen this before."
"But I've really never seen this. I thought this is a lighter… hmm, is this really not a lighter?"
Ace knitted his eyebrows and focused on looking for the valve, and ended up smearing lipstick all over his palms. What a stupid man who was so totally ignorant of women's stuff.
Joanna rolled her eyes, speechless.
Regardless, the man did not seem to be faking his reaction.
"Oh, I remember now…"
His face tensed, and he said irritably, "It must be Ethan. He must have brought someone on the plane and did not clean up afterward!"
"Ethan?"
Joanna doubted. "Didn't he break up recently? It's not nice to blame this on him, don't you think?"
