When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“My name is Kristina. We’ve actually met before. Maybe you don’t remember me, but I’m sure you remember my uncle Caleb. Mr. Fuller has recently hired me as his secretary!” she said with a smile.

My mind was still in a bit of a daze as I had just woken up from a nap, but I got the gist of what she said. Why would Ashton hire her as his secretary all of a sudden?

“So you’re the one who decorated his office with these plants?” I asked. Both Ashton and Joseph used to have plants in their offices, but it didn’t take long before Ashton got rid of them for being in his way! Why is he letting her decorate his office now?

“Yup! Mr. Fuller’s office seemed rather lifeless due to his cold personality, so I asked Mr. Campbell for some advice and placed some potted plants in there,” Kristina replied.

“Ah, fair enough.” I nodded and massaged my forehead as I walked out of his office.

With Stacey gone, I had to do most of the work on my own. Although Fuller Corporation’s audit had been completed, there were still many things to work on with HiTech.

By 8 p.m., I found myself incredibly exhausted despite having made it safely through my first trimester.

As I was packing up and getting ready to head home, I received a text message from Ashton: I have some business to attend to, so I’ll be home late. I’ve ordered some soup for you, so make sure you have dinner on time!

I didn’t give it much thought as I understood how busy he was and didn’t want to hog him all the time.
