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

After some thought, I told her, “I think you can get to know Linda. She definitely knows more than I do.”

“Linda?” she asked in confusion. “Is she a love rival too?”

As expected, intelligence really did go down the drain once someone was in love. After a pause, I said, “Linda has a child who’s already in middle school. Don’t overthink things. Before transferring under Armond, she was Robert Murphy’s assistant, so she should know him quite well.”

“Alright! Help me ask her out so we can meet over dinner!” she said before continuing, “Actually, how does tonight sound? Maybe you can ask her after work.”

“Sure. You have to pick me up, though. Actually, you might as well come with dinner.”

“Why should I make dinner? Aren’t we going out to a restaurant?”

“Armond had gastric problems. I’m telling you – he’s crazy. He doesn’t eat anything that’s not to his standard. And I have to help him manage all three meals, or I might lose my job!”

She looked envious. “What about you let me do that instead? I’m sure I’ll take great care of him.”

“Okay! You’re in charge of his meals from now on.” I was more than excited to hand that over to her. After all, I would be incredibly busy once the Fuller Corporation’s project started.
