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

“I don’t know. Perhaps it has to go on for a little longer.” I heaved a sigh, feeling dejected all of a sudden.

No couple would want to pretend to be enemies if they could show off their affection openly.

There would always be women around Ashton. Most of them might not have compatible family backgrounds or capabilities. But the possibility of an outstanding woman coming along one day was never zero. Once that happens, what should I do then?

The moment I finished speaking, I heard the sound of my phone buzzing in my pocket.

I fished out my phone right away and saw that it was a video call from Ashton.

“Will you look at that, the big boss is checking on you now. I’ll give you guys some space,” Emery poked fun at me before she stood up and walked away.

It required connections with the influential and reputable people for Emery’s company to gain a foothold in the corporate world. However, her relationship with Zachary had always been lukewarm, so she asked for Ashton’s investment. That was also why he was present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony previously. Since then, Emery had always joked about herself working for Ashton.

Feeling helpless, I shook my head with a smile before picking up the phone.
