In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 279

I thought Ashton wouldn’t be bothered to answer and would only smile politely, but to my surprised, he replied, “We’ve been married for a few years.”

Everyone in the elevator was shocked at the news. I could feel their stunned gazes on me.

I parted my lips to speak, but there was nothing to say. In the end, I flashed a smile.

The curious employees started asking about our relationship, like how we started dating and got married.

To my relief, we arrived at our destination right then. I took Ashton’s hand and apologized to the others. We exited the elevator and headed to my office.

After entering my office, I chided him, “I told you not to come here.”

He arched a brow. “What’s wrong? I was telling the truth earlier.”

Stunned, I retorted, “I thought you hate people gossiping about you?” He had his private elevator back in Fuller Corporation, so he rarely spoke to his employees. Why is he so talkative back in the employees’ elevator?

Does he enjoy talking to others about our relationship?

A smile flitted across his lips as he tugged me closer. “You’re my wife. That’s not gossip. Gossip is all about nonsense.”

I pried his hands off and showed him the sofa. “You can’t hug me whenever you want. I have to work, get it?”

Amused, he returned, “Am I a child?”

Well, no.

“Anyway, you can’t disturb me at work. Get it?”

Ashton nodded obediently. He took a magazine and read it silently. I switched on my computer and started going through the files on my table.

I was in charge of only one project, so I wasn’t that busy. Besides, Marcus was also involved.

After I finished dealing with the files, I looked up and realized Ashton was gazing at me with his chin on his hand.

“Why are you staring at me?”

He lifted an eyebrow. “You’re gorgeous when you work.”

I fell speechless after hearing his comment.

Soon, it was noon. I was wondering what we should have for lunch when Ashton’s phone rang.

He answered it with a frown. Judging from his conversation, something must’ve happened to Jared.

After hanging up, he came to me and pulled me in for a hug. “I can’t have lunch with you. Something is wrong with Jared’s project, so I have to leave.”

I gave him a nod. “Okay.”

With him around, I couldn’t really focus on work.

He grinned. “Are you that desperate for me to leave?”

Er, is it that obvious?
