When There Is Nothing Left But Love

For a while, I was slightly confused.

Seeing that I was waiting for a response, he curled his lips and teased, “Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you!”

“Nonsense!” I ignored him. Since I had reviewed the document carefully, there shouldn’t be any problem. It was probably just his usual dubiety.

He placed the document down, took the ones that I was going to sign from my hand, and said, “I will have a look at these and sign them if everything is fine. Go inside and have some rest.”

Ashton’s office was so huge that there was even a lounge fully equipped with facilities.

I frowned as I replied, “I’m not tired.”

However, he ignored me completely and brought me into the lounge. As the weather was warm, he switched on the air conditioning. “Lie down and have a good rest.” Meanwhile, he took my cell phone away.

“Ashton!” How am I supposed to sleep while it’s still early? ”I woke up late this morning, so I’m not tired.”

He looked at me. “Do you need me to accompany you to sleep?”

I was speechless. I climbed to the bed angrily and pulled the blanket over my head. “I’m going to sleep. You can go out now.”

I vaguely heard his laughter.

After a while, it was quiet in the lounge. Upon thinking he had left, I removed the blanket and stared at the ceiling. There was still an unpleasant feeling coming from within.
