After Ace's desk and computer are set up in what is now 'our' office, we both stay quiet, focusing on our work. I start to send a few emails and take a few phone calls. The only thing on the TV was news about Ace 'being back from the dead' and we both were tired of it. So many people were calling and emailing me, asking how we were doing. How they were shocked by the news...

Ace spent the day looking through all the files and everything Anderson Tech has done since he's been gone.

I got a message from David and realized it was 7pm. He texted me asking if I was ready to go for dinner then home. I replied saying yes and I logged out of my computer. Ace had left to do something so I wasn't sure where he was but he's probably going to leave soon too. Grabbing my things, I leave my office and I see David standing near the elevators.

"I'm so tired and hungry" I say walking to him with a yawn

"Me too" he answers

We enter the elevator and press the lobby button. When we reached the main floor, we got out and noticed there was still a crowd of paparazzi outside the building. I turn and see Ace come out of the other elevator and walk towards us.

"David" Ace greets and then looks at me

"Alex, you're coming with me" he says as an order

I look at Ace confused, "Uh.. no I'm not. I'm going with David, we have plans" I answer

Ace looks at me sternly and David puts his hand on my back

"Okay then. Alex, I'll drive you back to the apartment-" David tries to finish saying before Ace interrupts him

"No need" he simply says

David walks up to Ace

"It's not enough you ruined her life, now you want to control it too?" he says harshly up in Ace's face

I notice Ace starts to clench his fists, but holds himself together. Lowering his head to meet David's gaze, he tries to say as calmly as possible:

"No. It would just seem more appropriate to the media if my wife left the building with me!" he spits out angrily

"Well your wife can simply leave through the back" I say with a sarcastic smile

I notice the strong tension between the two

"David don't worry, we'll just grab dinner another day. Thank you though" I say to him slightly annoyed with Ace's attitude

I just wanted them to stop this and I knew there was no winning with Ace. David nods at me and I give him a small hug. Ace grabs my arm and we walk towards the door, into the blinding flashes of light.

As soon as we get outside, the media starts to go crazy and people start yelling, asking questions again. Security pushes them back and we manage to get to the black SUV parked at the front. We both get into the back and the driver starts to drive off.
