When There Is Nothing Left But Love novel (Ashton and Scarlett ) novel Chapter 975

Despite furrowing my brows, my face split into a grin. “You’re good at ordering people huh!”

He gave me a slight smile and put the document in front of me. “You’re going to get so bored just sitting around. Why don’t you take a walk instead?”

I walked out of his office after taking over the document. I had been feeling quite bloated recently, perhaps because the baby was developing in my belly.

Meanwhile, at the Finance Department.

Perhaps my visit to Fuller Corporation was too frequent, the staff over at the department was not at all surprised by my unannounced appearance. However, it was surprising to bump into Stacey there. It suddenly hit me that I had not seen her for some time.

She had lost some weight, and her figure was lean. Her long hair was now short, and there was a certain dignified aura to her. Her clothes accentuated that aura, but not because she was piling on designer pieces. Rather, it was her keen sense of style that brought out her noble vibe. Overall, she looked like a shrewd iron lady.

We locked gaze, and I smiled. “I thought you weren’t at K City!”

She replied with a smile too. “This is my battlefield. I can’t get used to the environment out there anyway. This feels right to me.”

I shrugged. “Yes, obviously. K City really agrees with you.”

One thing that bugged me was that we were in the same building, and it was not like I was a rare visitor here, but we had never bumped into each other. Fate has a funny way to bring people together.

She kept the document I brought over and looked at her watch. “I’m getting off work soon. Want to have dinner together?”

“Not today,” I said, smiling. “I have a lot going on at home recently, and there’s not much time for me to have a night out. Let’s take a raincheck, and maybe we can go shopping next time?”

She nodded. “I notice that you’ve gained some weight. Are you pregnant?”

I was taken aback at how spot-on she was. However, I did not want to deny nor confirm her guess and merely replied, “It’s only normal because I have a little bit too much to eat these days. Anyways, go get busy first. Let’s meet up next time.”
