When There Is Nothing Left But Love Chapter 1272


    The world honored wealth and power more than anything else. So for an insignificant secretary like her


    to disrespect a board member and pretended to be pitiful afterward was downright preposterous. I was


    interested to find out if she would be able to get away with this.


    After all, she was not the only one who could put on a show.


    Staring intently at Ste, I heaved a long sigh and stered on a guilty face.


    Anyone who had experience in the workce knew it was full of hypocrisy. Normally, a subordinate


    was doomed when their superior put on such an expression. Unable to pinpoint any mistake that their


    superior had done, they could only ept their misfortune. I heard gasps of horror behind me. It


    seemed like the other colleagues could already foresee what wasing Ste’s way and started


    praying for her.


    Joseph nced at Ste and me. Then, he instructed curtly, “Ms. Collins, please head to the Finance


    Department and get three months’ worth of sry. You don’t need toe to work from tomorrow


    onward.”


    His voice was firm and loud. Even I was amazed by his boldness. He actually had the guts to fire an


    employee whom Ashton hired just like that.


    Well done, Joseph! I couldn’t help letting loose a smirk.


    “Mr. Campbell?” Ste couldn’t believe her ears as she gaped at him in shock. She forced a smile and


    asked, “Please don’t joke about this. I’m Mr. Fuller’s secretary, so you need to get his approval before


    firing me.”


    Joseph cast her a cold nce with an indifferent expression. “So you do know that you’re only a


    secretary. I’m in charge of coordinating all thepany’s affairs, it’s only natural that I have the


    authority to terminate you. You can’t even fulfill a small request from our board member. Are you


    waiting for Mr. Fuller to clean up your mess? Giving you three months’ worth of sry ording to the


    employment agreement is the kindest thing I can do. Don’t try to push your luck.”


    “I…” Ste bit her lower lips. Her face contorted with distress, but she couldn’t find the words to refute


    him.


    Unfazed, I watched them nonchntly, enjoying the victory. Ste had overestimated herself. She


    wasn’t even as gorgeous and talented as Rachel. It was dumb of her to attempt to seduce Ashton just


    because she worked closely with him.


    What happened to Ste that day served as a warning to everyone in Fuller Corporation. The position


    of being Ashton’s wife was mine alone and anyone who tried to rece me had better be ready to


    stand against the board members, as well as the Moore and Stovall families.


    “Why is it so noisy?”


    A man’s familiar, husky voice came from afar. Turning around, I saw Ashton step out of his office. With


    a stern face, he strode past the inquisitive employees to us.


    “Mr. Fuller, Ms. Stovall asked for Ms. Collins’ help with some simple tasks, but thetter declined her


    with many excuses. I’m asking her to head to the HR Department to process her termination.”


    Ashton’s dark eyesnded on Ste, whose eyes were still reddened. Thinking that he could be her


    lifesaver, Ste gazed at him with tears glistening in her eyes, and her brows furrowed slightly, looking


    delicate and pitiful.


    As the two locked eyes, time seemed to have stood still, and the office fell silent. My eyes couldn’t help


    but flick between the two spectively, and my brows drew together instinctively.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Although Ashton only looked at her for less than three seconds, I felt as if a century had passed, and


    every second passed in an extremely slow motion.


    What’s going on? Is Ashton going to sympathize with her just because she sent him lunch consistently?


    “Is Joseph’s words true?” Ashton asked. His attitude was just and unbiased.


    Ste was smart enough to realize that Emery and I were against her. Looking down, she nodded her


    head firmly and admitted her fault in silence. Her docile face made it look as though I made her confess


    to it by force.


    She may look pitiful to others, but for me, I was downright irritated by it.


    “Mr. Fuller, you don’t need to hesitate. I know you’re indebted to Ms. Collins for saving your life, so


    there’s no need to make a big fuss out of this.” I marched over and interrupted them, staring straight at


    Ste boldly. “I heard that Ms. Collins is good at meal nning and taking care of people. So why don’t


    we transfer her to the Logistics Department as an assistant supervisor? She’ll be able to make good


    use of her talents there.”
