"Ashton Heath, once we’re at the company, I’ll explain everything to you, alright?"
At the other end, the man fell silent for a mont.
"Fine, I’ll wait for your explanation."

Ten minutes later, the taxi Joanna Lawrence took arrived at Heath Group building.
After getting off the taxi, Joanna saw Cody Aberton standing at the entrance of the building. Upon seeing her, Cody imdiately walked towards her.
"Ms. Joanna." As he approached, Cody addressed her respectfully.
"Why are you waiting here?" Joanna asked.
Cody answered truthfully: "President Ashton said you were coming and asked to co down and wait for you in advance."
Upon hearing this, Joanna’s lips curled up slightly.
Even though he was angry at her, he still sent Cody to pick her up. This man, even when feeling emotional, was still so caring and attentive to her.
This is Ashton Heath.
Perhaps it’s because he has always been so indulgent with her that many tis, she never fears that he would leave her no matter what happens.
Because he’s always so easy to coax.
Even in anger, with a few sweet words and so coquettish pouts from her, he’d be appeased.
Joanna entered the lobby with Cody and entered the elevator. She asked, "Is President Ashton in a bad mood?"
After thinking for a mont, Cody nodded and said: "He is, a bit. But Ms. Joanna, please rest assured. President Ashton isn’t upset about your scandal. He has full trust in you and never doubted you. Moreover, President Ashton has already found out that the scandal was intentionally created by soone for attention."
Cody explained specifically to prevent Joanna from overthinking.
Joanna smiled, "I knew he wouldn’t believe those scandals. By the way, is he busy now?"
"President Ashton just finished a eting and isn’t too busy now. In these two days that you were gone, he’s been constantly thinking of you. He’ll definitely be delighted to see you later."
"Really?" Joanna was sowhat skeptical about this.
Under normal circumstances, Ashton would indeed be happy.
However, this ti, she needed to coax him first.
Hopefully, it wouldn’t be too difficult.
Although this man has always been easy to appease, her tricks had beco less effective than before.
In the past, she only needed one sentence or a minute to pacify Ashton.
Now, he wouldn’t budge unless she said ten or more words, promising him so benefits.
The benefits Ashton wanted were actually quite simple.
It’s just... she would inevitably end up with an aching back and sore legs again.

"President Ashton, Ms. Joanna is here." Cody pushed open the office door, and after Joanna walked in, he gently closed it.
Joanna entered the office and saw Ashton holding a docunt, engrossed in reading.
She didn’t know if he hadn’t heard Cody speaking or if he had deliberately pretended not to hear. Regardless, Ashton didn’t look up at her.
He seed very focused on the docunt in his hands.
However, Joanna knew that Ashton was doing this on purpose.
Deliberately ignoring her.
Feigning ignorance that she had arrived.
Ahead of ti, he knew she was coming and had Cody wait for her downstairs. Now that she was here, he showed no reaction.
He was playing a silent treatnt ga with her.
Apparently, he was upset, waiting for her to coax him.
The man sitting in front of the black office desk only wore a white shirt. It was a simple design, but it adorned him with a unique style.
With his exceptional temperant and strong presence, the simple white shirt beca lavish on him.
