In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 19

Stacey had been with me for about two years, and she was well aware of the things that happened between Ashton and me. Knitting her brows, she said, “If you agree to the divorce, you know Old Mr. Fuller would be disappointed with your decision, right?”

“Besides, if you agree to it right now, the shares which Old Mr. Fuller had transferred to you will belong to Mr. Fuller. Ms. Stovall, the odds will not be in your favor if you make this decision.”

I was well aware of her concerns. After looking at the time, I noticed that it was already quite late. Hence, I did not care to explain things further and said, “I have my own plans. Please fetch me the documents. I need to head out later.”

Stacey stomped out of the office when she noticed that I did not pay heed to her.

I cleared up my stuff and found the car keys. Thanks to Stacey’s efficiency, I only had to wait at the staircase for a short while before she fetched the things that I requested.

She still had not given up on talking me out of the divorce. “Ms. Stovall, it’s really not wise to sign the divorce papers now. You…”

“Enough!” I interrupted her before she could finish her sentence. After getting into the lift, I looked into her eyes and said, “Don’t worry about me and focus on your work. I know what to do.”

She parted her lips to say something, but the elevator door already closed.

I started my car after I reached the parking lot and drove straight to the place where Jared and I had agreed to meet.

South Bay was a restaurant where people from the upper echelon would frequent despite its obscure location. The dishes here were exquisite.

Since I had made a reservation before coming, I went straight to my table after I had arrived at South Bay. However, I was surprised to see that Jared had arrived ahead of time.

He was dressed rather casually, exuding a classy demeanor as he sat by the window. He tapped his slender fingers against the table in a carefree manner.

“Sorry for being late!” I said as I took a seat right opposite him and called for the waiter to take my order.
