In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 204

I raised my hand and glanced at Rebecca, who was clad in branded goods from head to toe. Averting my gaze, I calmly said, “I called you, but Ms. Larson said that you’re in a meeting.”

He frowned. The veins in his temples throbbed as he looked at Rebecca. “Interesting.”

Noticing that he was furious, Rebecca’s face paled. “I’m sorry, Ash. I didn’t touch your phone on purpose. As it kept ringing a few times, I picked up the call, thinking that it’s about something urgent. I didn’t expect it to be from Scarlett!”

After hearing her words, I raised my eyebrows and remarked thoughtfully, “I only called once before the call went through.” Smiling coldly at Ashton, I said, “Looks like you normally receive a lot of calls.”

Ashton frowned. “Don’t be so sarcastic!” Then, he glanced at Rebecca and said coldly, “It’s getting late. I’ll let Joe send you back.”

An unpleasant look crossed her face. She looked at me and protested unhappily, “Ash, my Dad wants you to send me home.”

Ashton frowned. “Since when did I become your chauffeur?”

Rebecca paled and was rendered speechless.

Feeling aggrieved, her eyes reddened. “You know that’s not what I meant.”

“But that’s how I understood it.” Ashton was becoming more skilled at rebuking others.

If I were Rebecca, I would have felt utterly defeated by now.

Rebecca clasped her hands so tightly that her fingernails dug into her flesh. With tears brimming in her eyes, she said, “I’ll visit you tomorrow.”

When she left, she kept turning around to look at Ashton.

Propping my chin up with a hand, I could not help but comment, “The receptionist said that your fiancée visits you every day. Looks like she isn’t lying. Should I go home and prepare to welcome your fiancée?”

He frowned. “Fiancée?”

“Yeah!” As my arm felt a bit sore, I stretched it toward him. While he instinctively massaged it, I continued, “She visits you so frequently and is even pregnant. Who can she possibly be if not for your fiancée?”

With a grim expression, he raised his eyebrows and looked at me. “You believed that?”

“It’s not up to me whether I believed it or not!” As I was not in the mood to argue with him, I remained calm.

He whipped out his phone and made a call. As I was near him, I could clearly hear the person speaking on the phone.

It was Joseph. “Yes, Mr. Fuller?”

“Change the receptionist on the ground floor. She’s barred from working here forever.” Then, he continued, “Without my permission, don’t let any irrelevant personnel in.”

Joseph was a bit confused. “Who are you referring to, Mr. Fuller?”

“Rebecca!”
