When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Ashton and Armond chatted amicably. These two men who had never met before seemed to be rather chummy with each other. One could tell at a glance that they were wolves in sheep’s clothing in the corporate world.

Linda was walking beside me. She noticed that something was off and said, “Don’t be distracted. We are at work now. Everything else should be set aside.”

I nodded, took a deep breath, and entered the conference room along with everyone else. Linda arranged for a secretary to serve tea.

Out of nowhere, Ashton, who had been talking to Armond all the while, suddenly spoke. “Mr. Murphy, I had a look at your list of employees just now. Ms. Stovall over here is your secretary?”

Armond nodded, and his gaze landed on me. With a vague smile, he answered, “Yes, she has just joined our company. She is quite capable.”

Ashton nodded and remarked thoughtfully, “No wonder you let her take over the Fuller Corporation project.”

I frowned. Why did he suddenly change the topic?

Sss! Maybe because the atmosphere was a little tense, the secretary who was serving tea accidentally scalded her hand. Due to the pin-drop silence, this little hiss sounded especially loud.

Armond’s brows furrowed for a brief moment. He went on and said, “Mr. Fuller, let us continue with our discussions regarding the Lavelian Village project.”
