Then I recalled seeing her with a man downstairs yesterday, so I pried some more, “Was that your boyfriend yesterday? The one who came to fetch you downstairs?”

She froze for a moment as surprise came over her. “What?”

“The handsome fellow in the black Cadillac. Is he your boyfriend?” It was just a casual question, and yet she seemed so skittish.

I joked, “I saw you two by chance. Why are you so nervous? Don’t worry, a married woman such as I can’t possibly steal him away.”

Her smile seemed a little forced. “Ms. Stovall, I don’t mean that. You know how I refrain from talking about my private life with the people here. Moreover, there are many women in the company, all of whom have pledged not to get married or have children for at least five years of working here.”

Fuller Corporation was a good place to work in, but George Fuller had set a rule that female employees were not allowed to develop romantic relationships or have children within their first five years of working here. He took into account that women might take maternity leave and marriage leave sometime during their employment, which would affect their work.

This rule was unreasonable in the first place, so after Ashton took over the company, it was basically pushed aside. However, because the rule was set by George, his grandfather, it could not be removed directly. So, although this rule was written in black and white, female employees were allowed to keep their options open, and they would not be penalized for taking maternal leave or marriage leave.

But this was her private life after all, and I had no right to pry, so I smiled in return, “Well, I just happened to see you two together yesterday, and I got curious.”

I handed her the processed documents and said, “Here, get to work! Since Ashton has requested to check AC’s audit personally, you should probably put in more effort. In addition, please do a summary for the credit audit report.”

“Yes, Ms. Stovall!”

As she walked out of the office, I looked up at the clock. It was already noon.
