In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 118

I shook my head and weakly leaned back on the seat. “Anything will do.”

I had not done anything, but I felt abnormally exhausted.

Noticing my state, he buckled my safety belt for me and continued, “Let’s go home for the meal. After eating, you should get some rest for a while.”

Nodding, I closed my eyes, about to nap.

The following days, I remained worn out. I was only four months pregnant, and my stomach was not necessarily that big, so I could still work.

The audit for Fuller Corporation was now completed, so I felt relieved.

Due to the AC’s incident, Stacey had come to me with a letter of resignation. However, I did not approve it, asking her to rest at home for a while instead.

On the weekend, I made an appointment with Joe, hoping to learn more about the factory in South District.

It would be inappropriate for me to report this to the company – especially since he was Ashton’s friend.

Thus, I decided to have a private chat with the man instead.

The café was playing soft music, making the atmosphere in the shop seem light. After ordering a glass of juice, Joe stared at me with an impatient look. “What did you want to talk about?”

“Do you hate me because of Rebecca, or is it because of something else?” I queried, sounding as if I wanted to make small talk with him.

He was taken aback for a second before he let out a laugh. “Is that what you wanted to talk to me about?”

Shaking my head, I denied, “No, I muttered tiredly, “I was just asking.”

“Everyone has to keep walking forward. Ashton and I have already gotten married. You like Rebecca, so why don’t you tell her about your feelings and get together with her?”

“Are you done?” His expression turned grim. “Scarlett, who do you think you are? Do you think you’re an all-powerful being? Do you think the best will happen just because you said so?”

I lowered my gaze, falling silent.

Persuasion was not a strong point of mine, so I stopped pursuing the topic. “All right, forget it. Let’s talk about the factory you stopped production in South District.”

Tensing up, his gaze landed on me for a long while before he said, “I’m surprised you found out about it.”

“I want to know why you did that.”

This was part of my job, so I did not bother with courtesy and small talk anymore.

“Why don’t you ask Ashton about it? Why are you asking me about this first?”

Lowering my gaze, I answered, “You were the one in charge of HiTech in the past. The factory in South District was halted for half a year. Although I don’t know how you got the funds for half a year, I don’t think you have any malicious intentions. I think you simply couldn’t deal with it alone. Moreover, you’re friends with Ashton. I hope there won’t be any unnecessary fights between the two of you.”
