When There Is Nothing Left But Love

He reached out and gave me a light pinch on the nose while letting out a helpless sigh. “There you go changing the topic again.”

We bumped into Joseph and Rachel on our way out of the office.

Joseph was quick to greet us politely upon seeing us, while Rachel frowned slightly as she glanced at Ashton before flashing a smile at me.

After I returned the smile, I entered the elevator with Ashton.

The two of us decided to take my car to the supermarket instead of his Maybach, which would draw too much attention.

I noticed how plain my wrists looked as I fumbled for the car keys. Should I get myself some accessories like Rachel as well?

Noticing that I was spacing out, Ashton took the keys from me and started the car. “What’s on your mind?”

“Oh, I was just thinking that I should send this car for maintenance soon,” I lied after a brief pause.

“We’ll sell this car off. There are a few brand new ones in the garage, so you could give them a test drive and see if you like them,” he said with a nod while driving out of the parking lot.

After a few rounds at the supermarket, we ended up buying a whole lot of stuff as Zachary said they would be coming over tomorrow, and I wasn’t sure what we would need.
