In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 1273

The moment those words left my lips, the nosy employees behind me started gossiping again.

“Assistant supervisor? Is Ms. Stovall being serious? Doesn’t that mean that Stella will get a pay raise? Is Ms. Stovall that kind-hearted?”

“Tsk, tsk. Dream on! Once Ms. Collins is transferred to the Logistics Department, she’ll never be able to come back to this floor. What hope does she have when she has to face a bunch of old and rough men each day?”

“I think that’s not too bad. As long as I can get a good pay, I don’t mind working with a bunch of ugly people every day.”

“Don’t be silly. Don’t you have any pursuit in life? Once she leaves, she’ll never get the chance to marry up.”

Brushing off these comments, I kept the smile on my face and stayed calm.

Many years later, Emery would recall that day’s incident and say, “At that time, when I saw the fake smile on your face, I finally understood that deep down, you’re as ruthless as Ashton.”

She was right. I indeed wanted to give Stella a hard time.

The Logistics Department was on the lowest floor of Fuller Corporation and the furthest away from the president’s office. If everything went smoothly, she would never be able to see Ashton again. Working in the same company without meeting each other was even more disheartening than kicking her out of the company. She would lose hope as she watched other women approach and seduce Ashton.

I suppressed my feelings and compassion. The only thing I wanted now was to let Stella reap what she had sown.

“It’s up to you,” Ashton answered without a second thought. “Leave once you get it done. There’s no place for monkey business in the office.” With that, he turned around and walked away.

Before long, his towering figure slipped into the president’s office. Perhaps the conflict between us annoyed him.

Emery and I exchanged glances, and meaningful smiles spread across our faces. Soon, we redirected our gaze back to Stella, who was still in a daze.

“Ms. Collins, you heard him. Can you help me out now?” I raised my voice deliberately.
