In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 45

He narrowed his eyes a fraction, those black orbs glowing slightly. “Scarlett, do you think I’m incapable of doing a good job for Fuller Corporation’s audit?”

My brows lifted, but I refrained from being too direct. With a smile, I said, “You established Harrison Credit at a very young age. Naturally, I believe in your capabilities. But after all, we’ve never worked together before and we don’t know each other well, so Fuller Corporation will be holding a bidding event in the coming days. When the time comes, Harrison Credit will have to prove themselves. If Fuller Corporation’s audit ends up being handed to Harrison Credit, then I hope to have a pleasant cooperation with you, Mr. Harrison.”

“It doesn’t matter!” he huffed. Supporting his chin with a hand, he looked at me with squinted eyes. “It looks like you don’t really trust me, Scarlett!”

My brows drew together slightly as I disliked how he was acting overly familiar with me. “That’s not it, Mr. Harrison.”

“So you think I’m young?” He pushed the food that was just served toward me, his eyes never once leaving mine. “Don’t you think younger men are more passionate, Scarlett?”

Unable to continue this anymore, I stood up and announced, “I will notify you about the date of the bidding as soon as possible. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first!”

He grabbed my wrist with some force. “Why are you in such a hurry?” He drew out his words and looked out of the restaurant.

Out of instinct, I followed his gaze and met Ashton’s gloomy eyes.

When I glimpsed Rebecca standing beside him, I withdrew my gaze and forcefully tried jerking my hand away from Nick. However, this kid seemed to have a death grip on me.

I frowned and hissed with displeasure, “Let go!”

“Let’s watch the show together first!” With that, he pulled me back down onto my seat and pressed down on my shoulders while flashing a smile at Ashton and Rebecca as they walked in. “Mr. Fuller, what a coincidence! Join us!”

Upset, my face turned icy. “What are you doing?”

“Watching the show!” he merely said, then took the seat next to mine.

Wearing a solemn expression, Ashton walked over with Rebecca, and both of them sat opposite us.

Rebecca had of course seen me since just now. She no longer continued to act friendly, casting me a cold look instead.

I preferred it like this anyway. Couldn’t be bothered with them, I fished out my phone to busy myself with something.

Nick’s enthusiastic voice sounded just then. “Mr. Fuller, Ms. Larson, what would you both like to eat? Allow me.”

I felt the urge to laugh. Didn’t he call him ‘old boy’ just a while ago? Now it’s Mr. Fuller?

Ashton gave him an indifferent glance, then looked at Rebecca. “What do you want to eat?”

This was a habit engraved deep in him. It was impossible to get rid of it.
