Chapter 66
I fell into a deep sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, the bed dipped. Someone crawled into bed and pulled me into his embrace.
It must be Ashton. I said nothing and went back to bed.
I couldn’t really sleep well the previous night, perhaps due to all the stress recently. When I arrived at the company, I felt muddled.
Stacey entered my office with a few documents for me to sign. She poured me a glass of milk. “Ms. Stovall, you look pale. Do you need to go to the hospital?”
I shook my head. “I’m fine. I didn’t sleep well last night. You should go back to work.”
Indeed, my sleep schedule was horrible recently.
She gave me a concerned look and left with the files. Before leaving, she told me, “Do you want to see Dr. Crest? He’s here today. I saw him in the elevator just now.”
Jared was obsessed with medical research. He was a shareholder in Fuller Corporation, but he rarely showed up.
Ashton must be planning to invest in medical research. That was why he set up a research laboratory for Jared in the company.
I gave a nod. “Sure!”
My condition was horrible lately. I stood up and went to Jared’s office.
His office was on the same floor as Ashton’s. I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but the moment I stepped out of the elevator, I immediately noticed Rebecca standing in Ashton’s office.
She was clad in a long and flowy white dress, her signature style. That was why I recognized her at once.
Heading straight to Jared’s office, I knocked on the door.
“What is it?” A deep male voice sounded. It was Ashton.
I recognized his voice at once.
“Ash, I thought about it. I’ve decided to neither go abroad nor enter showbiz.” declared Rebecca. She didn’t seem delighted at all.
“Mm!”
He sounded quite uninterested.
Jared didn’t answer the door. I knocked a few more times. Was he asleep?
