When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 752

I took a seat next to her and teased, “Well, I understand. When the two of you are madly in love, it’s hard to suppress the impulse.”

With her face flushed, she gauchely changed the topic, “Where were you and Ashton just now?”

“Next door.”

Nora nodded. As the conversation went along, the awkwardness slowly dispersed. “I heard you calling me just now. Is there anything else?” she asked.

I shook my head. “No.”

Nora muttered a response. Once again, an awkward silence ensued.

I supposed the shy Nora needed some time alone, so I stood up and excused myself, “Um… I’ll go upstairs and go through the documents.”

In the room, I read the documents for a while, absent-minded. I couldn’t seem to focus with my mind constantly wandering off.

Frustrated, I tossed the documents aside and walked to the balcony to take a break.

The balcony next door was only a wall’s distance away. Ashton was reading on the balcony while enjoying his leisure time.

Upon seeing him, in an instinct, I wanted to get back into my room. Yet, before I could do anything, the man suddenly looked up at me. He then put his book aside while casually gazing at me.

Having no choice, I forced a smile and greeted, “Hi, Mr. Fuller. What a coincidence!”

The man’s gaze darkened. “We live next door. It’s not a coincidence.”

Ugh! This man is really a conversation killer!

With a perfunctory smile, I said, “Well, I’ll leave you then. I’m going back to my room.”

“Do you think you can hide from me forever?” he asked in a deep voice.

I pursed my lips, feeling a little awkward. I then turned around to face him and denied, “You’re thinking too much. I’m not hiding from you, and I really have something to do.”

“We need someone to be in charge of most of the projects of Lavelian Village. Also, the Fuller Corporation’s project will kick off tomorrow. I’m afraid it will be a mess since Linda doesn’t know much about the details of the project.”

I was confused at his words. “But Linda has always been in charge of the projects. I think she does better than me when it comes to paying attention to the details. Mr. Fuller, there is no need to worry.”
