"My name is Kristina. We've actually met before. Maybe you don't remember me, but I'm sure you remember my uncle Caleb. Mr. Fuller has recently hired me as his secretary!" she said with a bright, practiced smile.
My thoughts were still slow, like I had just woken up from a nap, but I caught the meaning of her words. Ashton hiring her… without telling me?
"So you're the one who decorated his office with these plants?" I asked, glancing back at the space. The plants stood neatly arranged, their presence softening the sharp edges of the room. Ashton used to dislike anything that disrupted his space, removing every plant that once sat here. Now he was allowing this?
Kristina nodded with a light, pleased expression. "Yup! Mr. Fuller's office seemed rather lifeless due to his cold personality, so I asked Mr. Campbell for advice and placed some potted plants in there."
