The Last Laugh
Chapter 61

Ace's POV:
The next day, I parked into the office's parking lot at seven thirty. I grabbed my briefcase and got out of the car. It was full of money. The money I had to lend Christina with.
As I made my way towards the building, I was about to get in when someone stepped out.
We exchanged quick greetings. I looked at his face for about a second but then stopped dead in my tracks.
I turned and watch the man go. He had on a fat T-shirt, faded jeans and dirty shoes.
I'd already seen him. But where?
I shrugged and got into the building.
I headed straight for Christina's office.
"Good morning, lovely," I said.
"Good morning, my love."
"Here," I put the briefcase on the table, "Just as promised."
I opened the briefcase, showing her all the money. Her face brightened.
"Oh my! So much money!" she said happily, touching the money dreamily like some sort of lunatic.
"Told you you could count on me," I leaned over and placed a simple kiss on her lips.
"Oh, oh, oh! But I never doubted. I trust you completely!"
I found myself smiling mischievously.
"I love you. So much!" she said happily.
Yeah right.
She didn't love me. She loved the fact that I was good looking and rich. I wasn't stupid. I wasn't a kid no more.
"I know," I smiled, "Let me go work."
"Okay, baby. Thank you once again."
"Yeah."
I turned and left her office, leaving her to think that she'd found a new man from whom she could steal money.
