When There Is Nothing Left But Love

It was impressive and surprising that a small company that had only been recently incorporated could win against a group of established companies that have been in the industry for years.

Ashton must have chosen Harrison Credit because he saw their potential and growth.

In view of what happened in the garage the last time, I decided to remove AC Credit from the list.

I dialed Stacey’s number, and within seconds, the call was connected. “Ms. Stovall!”

“You can inform everyone that Harrison Credit will conduct Fuller Corporation’s audit.”

Stacey was somewhat surprised by my decision. She hesitantly commented, “Ms. Stovall, if you hand it over to Harrison Credit, I’m afraid AC Credit would make trouble for us.”

Of course, I was aware of that. The man in the parking lot that kidnapped me that day certainly put up a good show for me. His last request was only for me to hold a bid.

He wanted me to choose who would win the audit at the end of the day. Since he did not explicitly indicate who would be the winner, I did hold the bid. Despite so, I never intended to hand over the audit to the winner since I planned the bidding.

I could not let anything happen to Fuller Corporation while I am still in charge of it. It was not for Ashton but a repayment to George, who took care of me all these years.

“Follow my instructions. I will come up with an explanation for AC Credit.” After I hung up, I sat in silence for a while.

Mustering my courage, I dialed a number I have never dialed before. After a few rings, a deep baritone voice answered, “It’s been five years!”
