In Love, Never Say Never (Ashton Fuller and Scarlett Stovall) novel Chapter 810

After answering the call, I heard Nora’s voice from the other end. “Babe, I’ll have to return to the city. See you there.”

I froze for a while when I heard her sudden declaration. “What’s wrong? Why are you going back suddenly?” From how I know her, she will follow Armond around. Armond’s still here, so why is she leaving?

She explained, “I’m here for quite long. There’s nothing left for me to enjoy. I’ll go back to the city and hang out with Tabitha and Laurel for a few days. I’ll wait for you, and once you’re back, let’s go out and have fun.”

I nodded. She must be bored with Lavelian Village. After all, we were all busy with work and didn’t have the time to hang out with her. Days went by, and I could see that her interest was running thin.

“Okay, have a safe trip then. I’ll call you when I get back.” I still had some work on my hands, so I couldn’t see her off.

She hummed a reply and said, “Oh, by the way, what’s with Ashton and Rebecca yesterday? Don’t tell me she’s one of his admirers. She seems gentle, but I can tell that she’s way difficult than that Rachel. Can you handle it?”

I smiled gently at her concern. “It’s fine. Ashton only sees her as his sister. It’s no biggie, so don’t worry.”

After gossiping for a while, we said our goodbyes and hung up.

Leedon looked at me and asked, “Ms. Stovall, have you had lunch yet? Let’s eat together.”

I nodded and got up from my seat. As we were leaving the office, he said, “I’ve heard that the representatives of the third party for this project reached Lavelian Village today. We’ll have to meet up with them for the next few days.”

I gave a brief reply since I was rather unbothered by it. These types of extensive projects would naturally involve third parties as the construction and funds were enormous.

This was one of the unwritten rules in construction projects. Truth be told, those people were only here to supervise the two companies.

The construction progressed rather smoothly, so it was inevitable for a third party to show up. I nodded after digesting his words, as we would have to meet up with them.

Before we reached the restaurant at the base, we met Ashton and Rebecca. It seemed like they came here on purpose.

When the woman saw me, she greeted me naturally, “Ms. Stovall, where are you going? Ash and I are here to fetch you for lunch.”

Upon hearing her words, Leedon immediately left after bidding goodbye to us.

I looked at the two of them and frowned. “Where is Mr. Quinn?”

It seems this woman had gotten used to following Ashton around.

Ashton walked toward me and held my hand. “Joe has some matters to attend to. It’s getting late, so let’s go.”

Since they were here, I had to go with them. Lavelian Village was a small area, so the restaurants were rather limited, and there weren’t many types of food to choose from.
