When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1140
She had never liked me and was quite agitated when she saw Ashton ignoring her while feeding me
soup. She was so pissed that her face was red.
He was actually just worried about me but he had identally made me a vixen in her eyes. I quickly
nudged him and gave him a look to say that there was business to take care of.
Only then did he put down the bowl of soup slowly. Ashton turned to look at Rachel with a cold
expression and said, “This is a decision made by the senior executives of thepany. You’re only a
technical staff, Rachel. Know your ce.”
His words were a bit ruthless, but it wasn’t unreasonable. The woman was knowledgeable and had the
skills, but she was only a senior technical staff. The way thepany operated was indeed not within
her scope of duties.
Ashton was already being really patient with her as she was just a technical staff who barged into her
boss’s house and questioned him. If it was someone else, they would have fired her already.
Still, Rachel was always eager to do well in everything. Instead of admitting to her mistakes, she said
arrogantly, “Yes, it’s true that I am only in charge of technical issues of thepany. But Mr. Fuller, the
company had invested several billion in AI technologyst year, and multiple foreign enterprises earned
a lot from it. It’s because of this that Fuller Corporation was so anxious to set up our own AI
department. Every worker under me has been working overtime every day and we finally got results.
What position does that put us in now that you acquired Dartan’s robots?”
I could understand what Rachel was trying to say. Thepany had a limited budget and it cost a lot to
acquire apany. This meant that the budget of thepany’s AI project would be cut down, hence
slowing down their progress and discouraging the researchers. If they were not careful enough, the
money for the earlier research would be thrown down the drain too.
Rachel was the one who built up AI in thepany so it was no wonder that she had such a big
reaction. However, Ashton had no intention ofpromising.

“I can only tell you the same thing. This is thepany’s decision. You have no right to intervene.”
Rachel snorted in disbelief. “No right to intervene? Is this the answer you’re giving me, Mr. Fuller?
You’re telling me to appease my team with these four words?”
She was a high-achieving expert who returned from overseas. She was also an authoritative figure in
the country’s AI field which was what caused her to think so highly of herself. However, Rachel failed to
take note that the person before her was Ashton Fuller, a fighter who was about to enter the arena.
His face turned icy cold when he felt her aggressiveness. Then, he got up and walked towards her,
stopping when there was only about a fist’s distance between them. He looked down at her with
darkened eyes and his voice was cold as he said, “If one more wordes from your mouth, I will do
as you wish and just make the whole of the R&D Department disappear.”
He could definitely do it.
The woman knew very well how ruthless Ashton was. She swallowed her saliva anxiously and avoided
eye contact with him. In the end, she retrieved her folder and left hurriedly.
I couldn’t help but sigh as I watched her leave in such an upset state. He was actually quite
gentlemanly with her but she didn’t know her ce. If she had spoken properly, Ashton wouldn’t have
been so ruthless.
Both of them were just looking out for thepany so it was hard to say who was in the wrong. Rachel
had innate intelligence and I was worried that Ashton would actually proceed with his ruthless acts so I
couldn’t stop myself from asking, “Are you serious? Are you really going to disband the R&D
Department?”
His face softened upon hearing my voice and he sat back down beside me. After picking up his fork, he
answered as he continued eating, “How is that possible? We’ve already invested several billion into
that department. None of them can think about leaving if I don’t see the results I want.”
