In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 578

She looked fixedly at Ashton and let her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Indifferent to her tears, he put his wallet in his pocket, held my hand, and walked away.

As I trailed after him, a heart-wrenching wail came from behind. I glanced back and saw several people gathered around Rachel.

Even in an upscale nightclub, there would be all sorts of people hanging around, including shady characters.

With Rachel’s good looks and her revealing clothes, I was afraid that she might be in danger.

When we reached the exit, I stopped in my tracks.

Puzzled, Ashton turned around and looked at me. He did not look angry anymore. “What’s the matter?” he asked.

I pondered for a while before voicing out my concern. “Ashton, she needs someone to send her home.”

He frowned at my words. “Scarlett, she doesn’t deserve your sympathy.”

I could understand why he was angry with Rachel. It was because her harsh words had crossed the line and struck his nerve.

And I was where his threshold lay; he was enraged with her because of her disrespect for me.

Seeing that he was about to leave, I stopped him and said, “I don’t sympathize with her predicament, but Ashton, she’s a staff of the Fuller Corporation whom you had complimented during the annual general meeting. If anything happens to her, it might affect the company as well. We can find someone to bring her back just to make sure she is safe.”

Do I pity her? Maybe.

I did not know much about Rachel at first. If I had not heard what Isabelle had told me before, I probably would not care about her safety tonight.

But now that I had known what happened to her, I could not help but pity her. Besides, it was normal for her to be attracted to Ashton since he was such an outstanding person.

Life is still long; there would be more women who are going to be attracted to him. Besides, I’m sure that Ashton knows better than me in handling the women who fancy him.

After a long moment of silence, he let out a sigh and eventually complied. He called a bell boy over and gave out some instructions. Then, he turned to me and asked, “Are you happy now?”

I nodded with a smile and held his hand. “Yes. Let’s go home.”

When we were both seated in the car, Ashton did not start the car first. Instead, he turned towards me and locked his eyes on mine. “Scarlett, it seems as if you bear no animosity towards her.”

“Huh, who?” I asked, perplexed.

“Rachel.”
