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

As I walked out of the room, I slammed the door shut behind me.

Meanwhile, Millie was surrounded by Nathaniel’s bodyguards outside the room. It was a tense situation. But when she saw me coming out, she calmed down a little. “Is everything okay?” she asked.

I nodded and gave her a look of reassurance.

Not long after, Nathaniel came out as well.

Then, I couldn’t help but tease him a little. “Since we don’t know each other well, I guess you have no reason to detain my bodyguard, right? Mr. Hall?”

Nathaniel nonchalantly took a glance at his bodyguards and gave them a signal to let Millie go.

“Thank you,” I thanked him blandly before leaving with Millie.

While we were walking away, I whispered to Millie, “Were Nathaniel’s bodyguards hard to handle? Seeing that you had to do it alone just now, how about I hire someone to assist you?”

“Thank you for your concern, Ms. Stovall. But there’s no need. I didn’t engage because Nathaniel had no intention to cause you any harm. I would only be causing you more trouble if I started a conflict with them.
