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

Chapter 720

We were doing construction work, after all. Safety was paramount for the project to proceed unhindered.

Leedon nodded in understanding. Then he asked, “Do you need to take a look at Emerald Base as well?”

I shook my head. “Not for now. Fuller Corporation will hand it over when it’s ready.”

The Emerald Base was more or less complete. All Fuller Corporation needed was to do was to input their AI technology into the system.

The afternoon passed in a flurry at the base. Occupied with work, I neglected Nora’s call until lunchtime.

I quickly dialed her number back. She answered within a few rings.

 

“Scarlett, are you busy with work? Why didn’t you pick up my call?” Nora’s voice rang concernedly over the phone.

“The Fuller Corporation’s project starts today. I’m at Lavelian Village, busy settling several things. What’s up?” I asked, watching Leedon walk over with two lunch boxes. He wordlessly handed me one of the boxes when he saw that I was occupied.

 

I nodded my thanks to him. In the meantime, Nora continued, “It’s nothing. Tabitha called to ask if we were available anytime these few days, hoping to organize a reunion of sorts. Didn’t we say that we would set up a business together or something? I think everyone’s been rather free lately, so we’re looking for something to do.”

“Sure. Why don’t you ask her to pick a date and place? You can let me know afterward. I’ll head over there straight,” I said, stuffing food into my mouth by the spoonful. In my haste, I choked, spluttering.

Leedon handed me a glass of water. I mouthed a “thank you” to him as I drank it gratefully.
