When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 974


    A rhythmic cking of heels rang in the hallway. I lifted my head and noticed that it was Rachel. She


    was carrying some documents. After noticing the food in my hands, she asked, “Are you sending lunch


    to Mr. Fuller?”


    I nodded. There was nomon topic for us to talk about, and I did not try to stretch our conversation.


    After a brief pause, the woman looked at me and said, “I guess you should be quite busytely.”


    Oh, so she has something to say to me.


    As expected, she continued, “I know you’re busy, but don’t neglect your family. Some things can really


    sneak their way in when you’re not paying attention.


    Surprisingly, I was not as vexed as I thought I would be at her remarks. I merely replied, “I think you


    can be more outright with what you’re trying to say. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”


    She shrugged and said nonchntly, “I’m not trying to beat around the bush, actually. It’s just some


    words going around, maybe I’m overthinking this.


    “Hmm, I really have a lot of work to do. I’d better get going then, talkter,” she said as she trotted


    away with documents in her hands.


    I pursed my lips as I watched her silhouette walking away. Damn it, this is really starting to get on my


    nerve.


    I reached the entrance of Ashton’s office, and his door was ajar. I stood at the door with the food


    clutched in my hand and hesitated for a moment before deciding to just go inside.


    However, a voice rang just when I was about to push the door in. “Mr. Fuller, since you’re already done


    with these documents, I’ll send them downstairs.” It was Ste Collins.


    “Okay.” Ashton’s voice sounded impassive.


    Seeing that he was still busy with work, I did not rush to head in. Instead, I yed with my phone in the


    visitors’ room.


    Exchanges from inside the office could be heard. Everything seemed normal. After half an hour, his


    office door sprung open, and Ste headed out with a pile of documents in her hands. She was


    stumped at the sight of me before she snapped out of it and smiled. “Mrs. Fuller, when did you get


    here?”


    I gave her a thin smile. “It’s been some time. I didn’t want to interrupt you guys working.”


    She smiled in response. “Mr. Fuller is reviewing some documents. He’s been swamped with worktely


    since a lot is going on in thepany, and he might not have time to apany you recently. I think


    he’ll be able to spend more time with you after this.”


    With a thin smile, I mumbled a response and said nothing further.


    Ashton heard my voice and came out of his office. His furrowed brows eased a little, and his impassive


    face lit up with a warm smile at the sight of me. “What did you bring me?”


    I looked at him and gestured at the food I brought. Looking directly at Ste, I said, “I heard the girls


    over at the Publicity Department saying that you would bring Mr. Fuller dessert every day. I have a


    sweet tooth too. Am I in luck for any today?”


    Her smile stiffened for a brief moment before she said, “I brought Mr. Fuller some because he did not


    have lunch just now. He’s always had some trouble with his stomach, and I was worried about him


    getting gastric. What do you think if I bring you some when youe over next time, Mrs. Fuller?”


    I smiled at the woman and nodded. “Thanks for the trouble then, Ste.”


    Ashton had shown no interest in our exchange and had already removed the packaging of the food that


    I brought over. Noticing that Ste kept talking to me, he furrowed his brows and ordered her, “Go get


    busy.”


    The woman nodded and took the documents away.


    As I watched her leave, I could not help but think that the girl really was something else.


    Ashton noticed that I was eyeing her. Frowning, he asked, “What’s the matter?”


    I turned around to look at him, my annoyance with what happened back in the elevator just now


    dissipated into thin air. “Is Joseph going to stay for long at Moranta?”


    He nodded. “The project is quite demanding. He wouldn’t be able toe back for some time.”


    I noticed that he was wolfing down on the food that I brought over and asked, “Does it taste good?”


    Maybe I had changed the topic too abruptly, as the man paused and looked at me. “Why do you care


    about when Joseph ising back suddenly?”


    I pursed my lips in frustration. “So you like having Ste around?”

    Bemused, the man furrowed his brows. “Something is off with the way you talk. Aren’t you quite close


    to her? What’s the matter with youtely?”


    “What do you mean I’m close to her?” I was surprised at his remark. What have I done that made him


    think I was close with that woman?


    He raised a brow in response. “It seems like I’ve misunderstood. No big whoop. I’ll just swap her out


    after a few days.”


    I frowned at his nonchnt reply. “What will other people think when you promote her and dismiss her


    for no apparent reason? Since you like having her around, just put her to good use, as long as it


    doesn’t interfere with your work.”


    Maybe I was being too sensitive about the matter.


    His phone rang after a few bites. He picked up the call, and dived right back into work. Noticing that it


    was almost time for him to get off work, I decided to just wait for him for a visit to Summerter.


    A document appeared right in front of me when I was preupied with my thoughts. Ashton handed


    over the document to me and said, “Mrs. Fuller, would you be a dear and send this over to the Finance


    Department?”
