While she admired him, it did not mean she could attain his heart.

To keep myself entertained, I randomly picked up a book to read but unknowingly, I fell asleep after some time.

When I woke up from my nap on the sofa, I found a blanket over my body. The room was dim, as though someone had adjusted the lights.

Scanning the room, I did not spot Ashton. He is probably still in the meeting. For some time, I continued to lie there before I willed myself to sit up. It was chilly, and I wrapped the blanket around my body tightly for more warmth.

While I was still in a daze, someone pushed the door open.

It was Joseph. Seeing that I was awake, he quickly fussed, “Mrs. Fuller, are you hungry? Do you crave anything? I will order it for you this instant!”

“What’s the time now?” I curiously asked. Looking out of the windows, I noted that it was already dark outside.

He promptly responded, “It’s eight.”

“Is Ashton still in the meeting?” I frowned.

“The international conference ended, but there is still more to discuss over the AI. Mr. Fuller wants you to have a bite first,” Joseph reported.

“Has he eaten?”

“No.” Joseph shook his head.

With some thought, I requested, “Can you order two sets of steak and two glasses of milk? I would like it to be hot. Additionally, please get one portion of dessert too.”

Then, I paused to look at the man standing by the door. “Mr. Campbell, have you eaten?”
