In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 72

My voice grew louder. “Winthem Hotel on Southfold Street.”

“Okay, see you later!”

I hung up and prepared to take a shower. We were going to dinner later, so I knew Macy would ask me to go shopping with her.

It was nice to walk around. After all, I hadn’t done that in a while.

I wanted to return to the other room to take a shower, but I couldn’t find the other room card anywhere. Since Nick was asleep, I didn’t wake him up and took a shower right in this room.

It should be fine. I was not going to shower in front of him, anyway.

I felt really sticky all over. After taking a shower, I felt so much better.

I blow-dried my hair, changed into a new outfit, and put on light makeup. When I emerged from the bathroom, Nick was talking to someone on the phone.

“Hello? Who is this?” he uttered sleepily.

The person on the other end of the phone said something, so he replied, “She’s taking a shower. You can call her later.”

He ended the conversation with a murmur and hung up.

Exiting the bathroom, I saw him lounging on the sofa lazily.

He yawned after seeing me. “Why are you all dressed up? It’s just dinner.”

I ignored him and noticed he was holding my phone. Recalling the conversation he had earlier, I realized he had answered my phone.

Shocked, I questioned, “Did you answer a call meant for me?”

He nodded and straightened his back. Flinging my phone to me, he replied, “It kept ringing and woke me up.”

I caught my phone and went through the call records. The last call was from Ashton.

When I tried to call Ashton, his phone was switched off.

Glaring at Nick in frustration, I asked, “What did you say to him?”

He rose to his feet casually. “Nothing. Ashton asked me where you are, and I told him you are in the shower. Then he asked if I was in the same room with you. I replied in the affirmative, of course.”

Giving me an innocent look, he quipped, “I was telling the truth. I did nothing wrong, did I?”
