Forget it, whatever he says, just go with it.
She didn’t want to explain anymore.
She thought about it, she and Porter usually had little contact. If it weren’t for work arrangents, they probably wouldn’t see each other more than a few tis a year.
"Are you really aware of this?" Ashton Heath pinched her chin to raise it, making her look into his eyes.
"Yes," Joanna Lawrence nodded, "I’ll stay away from him in the future."
"Next ti you have to attend a party, I’ll accompany you."
Ashton had originally wanted to accompany her tonight, but there was a very important contract that he had to negotiate in person, so he couldn’t accompany Joanna.
But that gave an advantage to that little brat.
"Will you co with in the future?" Joanna’s face showed a look of surprise.
"Yes."
"But don’t you dislike those kinds of events?"
"I don’t really like them." Ashton continued to blow dry her hair, his slender fingers gently running through her strawberry-scented hair, "But if it’s with you, I can put up with it."
He didn’t want her having other male partners next ti.
He wanted to go with her.
Let everyone see that she was his woman.
If anyone dared to make a move on her, he’d break their neck.
"Alright, you can accompany next ti. If you do, I’ll have a male partner." Joanna certainly hoped he would accompany her, but she had never made such a request because she thought Ashton disliked such occasions and didn’t like to be high-profile.
Since he offered, she wouldn’t refuse.
"By the way, Ashton, have you heard about Kelloway Group hiring Joel to design new jewelry for them?" Joanna suddenly recalled this and imdiately sought confirmation from Ashton.
Ashton dried one side of her hair and slowly moved to the other side, he softly humd in agreent: "Yes."
"So, is it true?" Joanna was quite surprised.
She thought the chances of it being a false rumor were higher.
After all, hiring Joel was a difficult task.
This wasn’t just about money anymore.
Joel had plenty of money, so simply throwing money at him wasn’t going to convince him to co.
But besides money, what else could Kelloway Group offer?
"It’s true."
Since Ashton said it was true, it couldn’t be false.
Joanna beca more and more curious: "Is Kelloway Group really that powerful? They were actually able to invite Joel. Isn’t it said that Joel only designs jewelry for royalty and people he appreciates himself? An internationally renowned jewelry company previously offered over a billion dollars for him to design jewelry, but he declined."
"Comparing Kelloway Group with that jewelry company, they still fall far behind. And yet, Joel actually..."
It was simply too unexpected.
Could it be that Rebecca Kelloway knew Joel?
She felt that even if Heath Group invited him, they might not be able to bring him over.
"Indeed, it is a bit surprising," Ashton’s eyes narrowed, Joanna didn’t see the cold glint deep in his eyes. "Joel is not working for Kelloway Group by their request. However, he did agree to design new jewelry for them."
Joanna was stunned and increasingly curious: "If it’s not Kelloway Group who invited him, then who?"
"Baby." Ashton touched Joanna’s silky smooth long hair, paused, and said, "Do you rember that Diana Kinsman?"
"Diana? The Miss Kinsman that Mom brought ho before?"
"Yes."
"What does this have to do with her?"
"That’s right."
