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

Chapter 709

Nora held up the food container in her hand and said, “I know you have no time to take care of my man. So I brought him breakfast. And…”

She lowered her voice and whispered, “… And I came to see if he is alright.”

I scurried past the office entrance and felt relieved to get in finally. After settling down at my work desk, I caught my breath.

Linda saw me. She handed the bread in her hand over to me. “It looks like you have not had your breakfast. You’ll just have to make do with this.

I looked at her with befuddlement.

“But why do I feel like you don’t really want me to eat it?”

She smirked, “You’re overthinking it. How was last night? Did you sleep well?”

Linda was asking in a very suggestive tone.
