When There Is Nothing Left But Love

I fell into a deep sleep. Sometime in the middle of the night, the bed dipped. Someone crawled into bed and pulled me into his embrace.

It must be Ashton. I said nothing and went back to bed.

I couldn’t really sleep well the previous night, perhaps due to all the stress recently. When I arrived at the company, I felt muddled.

Stacey entered my office with a few documents for me to sign. She poured me a glass of milk. “Ms. Stovall, you look pale. Do you need to go to the hospital?”

I shook my head. “I’m fine. I didn’t sleep well last night. You should go back to work.”

Indeed, my sleep schedule was horrible recently.

She gave me a concerned look and left with the files. Before leaving, she told me, “Do you want to see Dr. Crest? He’s here today. I saw him in the elevator just now.”

Jared was obsessed with medical research. He was a shareholder in Fuller Corporation, but he rarely showed up.

Ashton must be planning to invest in medical research. That was why he set up a research laboratory for Jared in the company.

I gave a nod. “Sure!”
