In Love, Never Say Never

In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1071-1072-1073-1074-1075

Holden leaned back against the sofa with a devilish expression on his face. “Don’t bother, for I’m pressed for time. But then, I also feel like enjoying myself, and I can’t help desiring to grope a woman, so I’ll just do it here.”

Argh! What a shameless man!

I pursed my lips and said nothing further.

After turning up the thermostat in the office, I watched as the woman removed her leggings while seated on Holden’s lap. Subsequently, the two of them started getting it on right there without any qualms.

Lifting a hand, I massaged my temples as I felt a headache coming on. Then, I made a video call to Ashton, and fortunately, he answered in mere seconds.

I turned the camera to face Holden, whereupon Ashton’s brows furrowed. In a terse voice, he drawled, “You came to my office to have fun, Mr. Taylor?” The moment his voice fell, the two people who were initially a tangle of limbs sprang apart.

Raising a hand, Holden wiped the lipstick off his lips before he swung his gaze at me with a frown. “What are you doing, Scarlett?”

I merely shrugged in response. “I think it’s more appropriate for my husband to discuss business with you.”

At that, his brows creased slightly. He then pushed the woman off him and snapped coldly, “Take the money and leave!” In the next moment, he took out a check from his wallet and threw it at her. After picking up the check, the woman quickly left.

Thus, it was only Holden and me in the office then. Glimpsing that Ashton was in the car, I couldn’t help asking, “Where are you going?”

“I went to prison to pay Brandon and Abe a visit.”

Hearing that, I nodded in acknowledgment. Now that Holden was back to normal, I ended the call with Ashton. I then looked at Holden and said, “Can we talk business now, Mr. Taylor?”

It was clear as day that he was rather chagrined. Pursing his lips, he sprawled on the sofa as though he was boneless as he groused in a weak and languid voice, “I didn’t eat breakfast when I came out in the morning, so I’m starving and don’t have any energy to talk.”

Nodding with a faint smile, I dialed the secretary’s external line. In no time, Stella picked up the call. “Hello, Mrs. Fuller, this is Stella here. Is there anything I can assist you with?”

“Please order a bountiful breakfast spread. I’d like an American breakfast and a set of continental breakfast. Thank you.” After I had finished speaking, Stella was noticeably taken aback, but she promptly concurred, “Sure. I’ll get right to it.”

When I hung up the phone, Holden closed his eyes while reclining on the sofa. I wasn’t in a hurry either, merely continuing to review the documents in hand with my head lowered, scanning through all those that needed to be approved, one by one.

Stella’s efficiency was exceedingly impressive, for she delivered the breakfast over not long after. It was a very lavish spread. After placing it on the table, she cast Holden a perplexed look before leaving.

At the sight of the breakfast on the table, Holden didn’t continue picking trouble with me. Instead, he stared at me and offered, “Why don’t we eat together?”

Flashing him a faint smile, I declined, “No, thanks. I’ve already had breakfast, so please help yourself, Mr. Taylor.”

The man’s elegance seemed as though it was in his blood, for even his movements as he enjoyed breakfast were extremely elegant. After taking a few bites, he stopped eating and pinned his eyes on me while sitting on the sofa.

Sensing his gaze, I lifted my eyes and looked at him with a faint smile. “You’re done eating, Mr. Taylor?”

In turn, he arched an eyebrow. “You’re much more patient than Ashton Fuller, thus less irritating.”

At that, I frowned slightly. “Mr. Taylor, this isn’t the first time Fuller Corporation is collaborating with the Taylor family, so you actually didn’t have to go to such lengths.”

Nonetheless, he chuckled at my remark. “You and your husband are truly interesting. Okay, let’s go and take a look at the factory as well as the processing materials. If there’s no problem, then this matter is settled.”

Unbidden, I breathed a sigh of relief. Phew! Thank God this guy isn’t making trouble anymore. If he were to continue with his ridiculous act, I might have truly gone crazy!

After putting everything away, I left the office with him. Stella was right outside the door, so she greeted us when she saw us exiting the office. Thereafter, I ordered, “Later, go in and clear the table. Then, reserve a hotel room for Mr. Taylor and arrange dinner for him. Mr. Taylor is from Moranta, so take note of that.”

I uttered those words in a mere whisper, so Stella nodded imperceptibly. Cautiously stealing a peek at Holden, she then nodded and replied, “Okay, will do.”

While we were waiting for the elevator, Holden looked at me with a frown. “From what I remember, we’re considered friends, so why are you so distant with me? Have I done something unreasonable? Or do you feel that you don’t know me anymore after having not seen me in such a long time?”

Huh? This man is really childish.

Staring at him, I answered in exasperation, “Of course we’re friends, Mr. Taylor. However, I don’t think you have considered me as a friend today. Otherwise, why would you have brought a beautiful woman to my office and started getting it on with her in front of me? If you’d regarded me as a friend, shouldn’t you have greeted me right away before discussing business as a matter of course?”

Upon hearing that, he lifted a hand and rubbed his nose in slight embarrassment. Chortling, he then countered, “I just wanted to meet you again in a unique way after so long. That was just a trifling intrusion earlier, so don’t take it to heart.”

I merely shrugged. “Of course not. As you said, Mr. Taylor, we’re friends. Since we’re friends, I naturally won’t take that to heart. But to be honest, Mr. Taylor, you don’t have to go so far when you choose a woman next time. That woman is stunning, but I don’t think she’s your cup of tea.”

In love, never say never chapter 1072

Giving a light cough, Holden stared at me and drawled, “Don’t you think it’s rather inappropriate for you to discuss women with me so blatantly? Do you talk to Mr. Fuller in such a manner as well?”

I shook my head in response. “Of course not. He doesn’t parade women in front of me so blatantly. Besides, I have some say in the kind of woman he likes. Furthermore, judging from his current demeanor, I think he probably won’t be like you for the time being.”

Upon hearing that, his brows furrowed slightly. “For the time being? So, you don’t trust Ashton Fuller all that much either!”

“Well, not exactly. It’s just that no one can guarantee what happens in the future, so I only pay attention to the present. As long as he loves and cherishes me presently, that makes me the happiest. As for the future, we shall see what happens then. It’s something that hasn’t happened, after all, so no point fussing over it!”
