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

Nora wanted us to stay over for a barbecue that night, to which Hannah agreed readily. “No prob. Chandler can cook. He’s a good chef.”

Chandler blushed from the praise. Since everyone agreed to it, we went to get a mountain of ingredients and prepared for the barbecue, and it didn’t take too long to get the food ready. Nora said, “Call Ashton over, Scarlett. It’s quite late, so he’s probably done with work.”

Well, it was getting dark, and everyone was here, so I thought I’d invite him. It was a good chance for them to get to know each other. Then, I called him. It went through a moment later, and I asked, “Are you done, Ashton?”

“He’s still in a meeting, Mrs. Fuller. It might take a while,” a woman answered instead of him. It sounded familiar, but it took me a while to realize that it was Stella.

“I see. Tell him to call me back once he’s done.”

“Yes, Mrs. Fuller.” She hung up after that.

I frowned. Nora, who was washing the veggies, noticed it. “Oh, is he still working?”

I nodded. But he usually brings his phone with him. So why was Stella the one who took the call?
