When There Is Nothing Left But Love (Ashton And Scarlett)

Chapter 702

I glanced around us and realized we were getting stares from other people. I did my best to ignore them as I turned to Linda, who was drinking like a fish. “You shouldn’t drink so much. It’s bad for your health.”

“Don’t worry. I can hold my liquor well!” she said with a faint smile.

I sipped from my glass of juice and found myself gradually zoning out. Even in my daze, I was still checking my phone periodically.

My actions bothered Linda so much that she decided to set me straight. “Scarlett, do you know what’s the scariest thing in the world?”

I shook my head. Linda clinked glasses with me before replying, “It’s indecisiveness. The longer you procrastinate, the easier it is to lose the most important things in your life.”

The next thing I knew, she had taken my phone to make the call I had been so reluctant to make.

I was about to grab my phone back when a voice rang out from behind us. “Ms. Stovall?”

I was taken aback by the sudden intrusion and couldn’t help but frown when I turned to look. A familiar face came into sight, and only then did my frown turn into a smile. “Hi, Mr. Watson!”

“Ms. Stovall, this is the third time we’ve run into each other this month. I guess this is what they call fate, wouldn’t you agree?”

I smiled back politely as I got up from my seat. “I’m sure you have work to attend to, Mr. Watson. I shall leave you to it.”
