In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 76

“It’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow night. Wanna come along?” he asked. It seemed like our scandal meant nothing to him at all.

I massaged my temples, which were throbbing dully. “I’m not free. You should refute the rumor soon.”

Ashton was the only person I could ask for help to keep John away from us.

But right then, the rumor about Nick and me was a problem.

He fell silent for a moment before answering, “I’ll take care of that.”

“Alright,” I said tiredly. “Stop causing any more trouble!”

I didn’t know when John would come to J City. If Ashton got upset at me over the scandal and the nightmare from five years ago happened again, I’m afraid I couldn’t survive any longer.

Staying alive was the most important thing for me then.

After hanging up, I placed my phone aside before deciding to go to Ashton’s office.

This time, his office was quiet. Joseph wasn’t even there.

As the clacking sounds of the keyboard sounded from his office, I came to a stop outside and knocked on the door.

“Come in!” the man’s irresistible voice rang out.

I hesitated for a while before pushing the door open. When I came closer to him, my heart started thumping furiously.

He was still typing furiously on his keyboard.

I stood in front of his desk silently, watching him deal with work. Indeed, he looked hot when he was focusing on work.

“Put it down. I’ll sign it later.” As he was too focused, he didn’t realize it was me and ordered without looking up.

I remained standing without a word.

After a long while, he frowned and stopped typing. When he looked up and saw me, his expression darkened.

“What is it?” he asked icily.

“Ashton, we need to talk.” I had to explain to him about my so-called scandal with Nick.

He leaned back in his chair and arched a brow sarcastically. “Ms. Stovall, you need to talk about work?” he inquired in a tone dripping with disdain.

He sounded completely distant.

I pursed my lips and wrung my hands together tightly. “Ashton, I can explain the rumor about Nick and me.”
