When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I wasn’t given the position of director right from the start, but had worked my a** off these two years to earn it. But of course, to outsiders, I was someone who used my title as Mrs. Fuller to climb through the ranks.

That was especially the case for Joe, who assumed I relied on Ashton to gain the position of director. Hence, he greatly looked down on me.

I shot a fleeting glance at the documents in his hands, noting that it was a plan about electronic technology. It seemed like there was going to be a new product launch soon.

“Mr. Quinn, you’re taking it a little too far with your jokes. How could Fuller Corporation ever become something else? I simply took two days off from work because I wasn’t feeling well, so I’m very touched that you’re so concerned about a mere director like me, Mr. Quinn. Though, it looks like you’re quite busy with work, so it’s better if you focus on getting it done. If you have too many things on your mind, you’d inevitably make mistakes, don’t you agree?”

Shaking off my bewilderment, I nodded and replied, “Alright. I’ll head up in a bit.”
