In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 800

At that was direct enough, Joseph simply nodded without saying anything.

Then, Rachel looked at me and said, “If I remember correctly, Ms. Stovall is the one in charge of this project. However, it seems like Mr. Murphy is the one working the hardest. He’s even doing the handover. Is Ms. Stovall only in charge of supervising?”

As she was in high heels and standing on a platform, the woman was towering over me. With her arms crossed in front of her chest, I couldn’t help but feel the pressure.

I squeezed out a faint smile and replied, “Thanks for the reminder, Ms. Zimmer. By right, you and I should be the ones liaising on the Lavelian Village project. I hope to see you at all our future discussions.”

“Of course!” Rachel replied with a dry smile.

After all, both of us had fallen out with each other previously and it was obvious that there was still a barrier between us. Besides, she was most likely still of the view that she was the most suitable woman for Ashton. As such, I couldn’t really be bothered with her.

As Joseph had other matters to attend to while Armond was responsible for the operation of the entire Murphy Corporation, the two men did not stay long.

After they left, Rachel and I were the only ones left in the discussion. I had to admit that she was extremely capable when it came to work.

She had come out with a very good plan for the second floor while I had my own ideas too. She was very professional and did not reject my suggestions straight away because of what happened with Ashton. It was after careful deliberation and analysis that we decided on the elements to include, with feasibility being the main consideration.

Rachel had a very clear thought process and was a very good communicator. As such, it was easy to feel motivated to do better when working with her.

The day went past very quickly. When it was time to knock off, Rachel packed her bag immediately and the enthusiasm she displayed at work was gone in an instant.

I shrugged and understood that everyone had their quirks after all.

When I went downstairs, I realized that almost everyone had already left the base. Seeing that there was no one else on the first floor, I instinctively looked towards the area where the machinery was.

It was difficult to let it go once one’s curiosity was piqued. I just could not understand the reason why the walls at the base were so wide.

“Ms. Stovall!” Suddenly, someone called me from behind. I got a shock and turned around, realizing it was Leedon.

I smiled and asked, “Leedon, you’re still around?”

The man nodded and replied cheerfully, “I’m just checking the area before going off. Do you need help with anything?”

“Nope, I’m leaving soon too,” I shook my head and replied.

He smiled and went to the office to retrieve some items before getting ready to leave.

Then, we left the base together. Joseph was busy and unable to pick me up, so I got a ride from Leedon.

As there was nothing much that we could talk about, I couldn’t help but ask, “Leedon, there are more than ten bases in Lavelian Village. From my observation, the structure where we place our machines are much thicker than that at the other bases. Did we intentionally build it that way?”
