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

Chapter 40

Before I could start my car, I got a call from Macy.

I checked the time to see that it was ten already. As soon as I answered my phone, Macy’s voice reached my ears. “Babe, guess where I am now.”

Listening to the bubbling excitement in her tone, I thought for a while before answering, “Q City!”

“Damn!” she cursed. “Ms. Stovall, you’re such a bore!”

Based on her choice of words, I knew that I guessed it right. Smiling into the phone, I teased, “It’s not like today’s your first day knowing me. So how’s it going? Have you found a suitable location?”

Fuller Corporation’s underground car park was large, and not to mention, vacant now. While I sat in the car and spoke on the phone, I could vaguely hear the echo, making the hair on the back of my neck stand.

“Mhm. Q City is indeed a good place to settle down. It’s very relaxing here too. I stayed here for a few days, and I really like the pace of life here. The weather here is really pleasant too, so I think it’s a perfect place to settle down.”

Macy talked a lot on the other end of the line, so I put her on speaker and started the engine. The car park was too empty and I felt a little uneasy staying here for too long

I answered while reversing. “You should stay in Q City for a couple more days more to get used to it, and maybe check out some places for me while you’re there. Ashton arranged another project for me. It’s quite a difficult one, so I probably won’t be able to go anywhere for the time being.”
