In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 55

“You think you’re better than me!” He was not prepared for my counterattack and now looked like he had swallowed a bitter pill, fumbling for more insults.

At that moment, the elevator door opened, and I shot him one last dirty look. “I sincerely hope to see you upgrade from a second-rated bootlicker to a first-class minion. See you around!”

Imagining smokes coming out of Joe’s ears made me forget about Ashton pissing me off this morning.

When I stepped into my office, there was already someone waiting for me.

Stacey quickly walked up to me and said, “Ms. Stovall, Mr. Harrison from Harrison Credit has been waiting for you all morning in your office.”

After nodding in acknowledgment, I told Stacey to fetch me a glass of warm milk.

Upon entering my office, I saw Nick sitting comfortably in my chair with his legs up and eyes closed as though he had been resting for a while.

He heard me walking in but did not bother to open his eyes. “Ms. Stovall, do you always come to the office whenever it pleases you?”

Ignoring his sarcasm, I set aside my handbag and sat down on the couch. Stacey came over with my milk and asked, “Ms. Stovall, do you want me to bring over all the audit reports for Fuller Corporation?”

I shook my head and took a sip of milk before suggesting to Nick, “I suppose you have already received the message. Since you’re here, shall we sign the contract right away?”

Nick finally opened his eyes, half squinting them at me while he said, “Does this mean you have decided to collaborate with us?”

Furrowing my brows, I took a deep breath to ease the numbing ache radiating from my lower back. Then I turned to Stacey and asked her to bring the contract over.

After receiving it, Nick merely glanced through the papers without an ounce of seriousness and signed the contract on the spot.

I was only responsible for the signing of the agreement, and the next step would be for Harrison Credit to liaise directly with our Finance Department. That part was out of my scope.

But Nick did not seem like he was ready to leave, so I shot him a questioning look. “Mr. Harrison, is there anything else?”

Hearing that, he stood up and walked over to sit next to me. “Let’s have lunch together.”

I really did not have the patience for this brat, so I turned to Stacey. “Go downstairs and get Mr. Harrison some takeout.”

Stacey was a little startled but nodded her head nonetheless and retreated from my office to get his lunch.

Nick was disappointed and tried to protest, “Hey Scarlett, that was a sincere request to have lunch with you. Did you have to turn me down like that?”

Feeling annoyed, I gave him a cold glare. “Mr. Harrison, in terms of work, my job here is done. As for personal relationships, I’m married, so I’d appreciate it if you could keep your distance.”
