After leaving the meeting room, Sally blocked my path and said, “Let’s have a chat, Scarlett.”

She probably wants to talk about HiTech. I nodded and took a glance at Marcus. “Let’s get lunch together later.”

I nodded. “Alright.”

Her office was nicely decorated with lots of flowers. Once we were in there, she gestured for me to sit down and poured me a cup of coffee.

Then, she sat down in her chair. Instead of talking about HiTech, she asked, “How are you and Ashton doing recently?”
