When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“You think you’re better than me!” He was not prepared for my counterattack and now looked like he had swallowed a bitter pill, fumbling for more insults.

At that moment, the elevator door opened, and I shot him one last dirty look. “I sincerely hope to see you upgrade from a second-rated bootlicker to a first-class minion. See you around!”

Imagining smokes coming out of Joe’s ears made me forget about Ashton pissing me off this morning.

When I stepped into my office, there was already someone waiting for me.

Stacey quickly walked up to me and said, “Ms. Stovall, Mr. Harrison from Harrison Credit has been waiting for you all morning in your office.”

Upon entering my office, I saw Nick sitting comfortably in my chair with his legs up and eyes closed as though he had been resting for a while.

He heard me walking in but did not bother to open his eyes. “Ms. Stovall, do you always come to the office whenever it pleases you?”

Ignoring his sarcasm, I set aside my handbag and sat down on the couch. Stacey came over with my milk and asked, “Ms. Stovall, do you want me to bring over all the audit reports for Fuller Corporation?”

I shook my head and took a sip of milk before suggesting to Nick, “I suppose you have already received the message. Since you’re here, shall we sign the contract right away?”
