When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Chapter 1270

If this were in the past, I would have said she was exaggerating. But after having gone through somuch, I do believe in Emery’s foresight.

Even though one couldn’t have smoke without fire, no one could ever live their lives without havingfaced temptations. Knowing self-control and when to let go would prevent one from going astray. Butthat would only work for those who played by the rules.

I knew who Emery was hinting at, and it piqued my interest. “Emery, your company is still new andyoung. You’re going to need to improve on the management and planning. Will you be interested ingoing somewhere to learn more?”

“Where to?”

“To the company where my stakes lie. Where else?” I replied with a raised eyebrow. “Let’s go, Ms.Moore.”

Emery caught my hint and smirked. The plan was in motion.

Emery’s office was in the prime business district of K City, so it took less than ten minutes since we leftthe café to arrive at Fuller Corporation.

It happened to be lunchtime, so most of the employees had left for lunch. When Emery and I walked in,the office area was mostly empty.

“How can that be? Even if Ms. Collins has the ability, she isn’t qualified!”

“That’s not necessarily true. Haven’t you heard the saying when there’s a will, there’s a way? She couldstill become the next Mrs. Fuller. And when that happens, you’re going to have to start buttering up toher!”

The babble and gossip in the pantry rang out especially clearly in the empty office. I had deliberatelyquietened my footsteps as I tiptoed my way toward the pantry. When I got to the door, I slowly peekedin to see who was inside.

I counted a total of six people in the pantry. They were all sat on the sofa with their backs facing thedoor as they continued with their gossip.

“Maybe Mr. Fuller might really fall for Ms. Collins. He has had so many other secretaries, but nonestayed on for as long as Ms. Collins has. And I’ve heard from others that Ms. Collins packed dailylunches for Mr. Fuller, rain or shine. You know what they say about a woman capturing a man’s heartthrough his stomach. I’m pretty sure she’s going to capture his heart soon!”

“I don’t think so. I’m sure Mr. Fuller has had his fill of good food. How can he be so easily bought overby just a few lunches? You’re in the Planning Department, for goodness’ sake. You have to think morecreatively. No wonder you haven’t had a promotion in such a long time… “

“Hey, we’re talking about Mr. Fuller here. Why do you have to make it about me now… “

There was a lot of back and forth in the pantry, and I listened on in enthusiasm. Emery, on the otherhand, was probably upset by their gossip as her face darkened.

If I let them carry on, I was afraid she might start the next world war.

I cleared my throat to get their attention and waited to see their reactions upon seeing us.

The pantry fell into silence as soon as they heard my cough. When the employees saw Emery and me,fear and panic immediately registered in their eyes.

A voice suddenly rang out from behind me. “Ms. Stovall?”

I turned and came face to face with Stella looking at me in bewilderment. She had a lunchbox in onehand and a stack of documents in the other.

Ashton and I had signed the divorce agreement only a month ago, and she was already reminding meof it. She didn’t hesitate when she called me “Ms. Stovall” instead of “Mrs. Fuller.”

Emery was enraged as soon as she saw Stella. She was about to march up to her when I grabbed herhand and shot her a look, letting her know that I had the situation under control.

I turned to Stella and put on my best manners. “Ms. Collins, are you free to help with something?”

Stella was taken aback and seemed to ponder about it. “I’m sorry, Ms. Stovall. But Mr. Fuller needsthese documents urgently. Can I get someone else to help you instead?”

Before I could reply, she had turned to the handful of employees in the office. “Who doesn’t haveanything to work on now?”
