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.
Of course, Joanna herself was not looking that much better.
This was no time to be willful. Joanna tried her best to calm herself down.
"Okay, let's tidy up and go to the hospital together."
The two went to different bathrooms and quickly washed themselves.
But the awkward thing was, because neither of them lived there, they naturally did not have any spare clothes there. They had to come out of the bathrooms wrapped in towels.
Joanna walked out of the bathroom, wanting to find some casual clothes to wear.
Ace also had the same idea.
So, the two ran into each other in this awkward manner.
Ace looked at Joanna unabashedly, from her wet hair down to her toes.
As for Joanna… she was even more unabashed. Besides ogling Ace, she even felt the urge to run her hands over him.
"Ace, have you been going to the gym again recently? Look at those abs. They're like the abs of a fitness coach."
