33: Chapter 33: Joanna Lawrence, what do you an by this?
Joanna Lawrence:”…”
Her face flushed slightly:”Ahem, it has nothing to do with Manager Joshua Ranson.
He handled everything well, and I have no complaints.”
“Then why are you still unhappy?”
“…Maybe I’m just hungry.” Joanna had no choice but to co up with a random excuse.
She heard a low chuckle from the other side of the phone:”I see.
I’m sorry I made you wait for so long today.
In the future, I’ll try to get off work earlier to be with you.”
Joanna:”Ahem, ahem, ahem …”
That’s not what she ant!
“I’m here.” Ashton Heath paused, then asked, “Do you want to co upstairs, or…”
“I’ll co to you.” Joanna Lawrence interrupted him before he could finish his sentence, “I’ll be there in a minute.”.
Because of Ashton Heath’s appearance.
She was worried that if he ca upstairs, he would attract a lot of attention.
She thought it would be better to keep a low profile.
*
At the underground parking lot.
A black Bentley with its hazard lights flashing.
As soon as Joanna walked over, the back door opened.
Inside the car.
The man held a thin laptop in his hands, lounging lazily.
His cold, deep eyes scanned the computer screen, then looked up to et Joanna’s gaze directly.
Their eyes locked.
His gaze was as deep as a quiet pool, reflecting her image in his dark pupils.
The light in the underground parking lot was dim.
There were lights inside the car.
He sat in the warm light, his handso face bathed in a gentle glow, his facial lines very soft.
Even his gaze seed softer.
Joanna’s heart skipped a beat, and she hesitated.
Ashton stared at her for a few seconds, then turned his head back:”Why are you standing there like an idiot?
Get in.”
“…Oh.”
Joanna took a deep breath, touched her slightly hot cheek, and got into the car.

The car door closed.
The space suddenly felt cramped.
A subtle fragrance filled the car.
Unlike the pungent sll of ordinary car air fresheners, it was a pleasing and elegant scent.
Joanna’s heart raced.
Because ever since she got in the car, she felt a pair of eyes on her.
The man beside her did not shy away from looking at her.
Joanna felt uneasy under his scrutiny.
Just as she was about to speak, his low, enticing voice sounded in her ear:”Why didn’t you buy anything?
Did Zack give you the card?”
“He did.”
When he ntioned the card, Joanna rembered that she needed to return it, along with his watch worth over two million dollars.
“Why didn’t you buy anything then?
Didn’t see anything you liked?” Ashton frowned slightly, looking displeased that she hadn’t spent a cent of his money.
Joanna:”…”
She took out the prestige card and the watch worth over 2 million dollars from her bag, and handed them to him:”Ashton Heath, here are your things back.
They are too valuable; Jeremy and I can’t accept them.”
Ashton Heath’s furrowed brows deepened and darkened as he looked at the items she handed him.
His expression was not good:”Joanna, what do you an?”
With his face darkened, Joanna beca a little scared.
She wasn’t usually timid.
But the man sitting next to her had an imposing presence.
Joanna was genuinely intimidated by him.
Under the oppressive and intimidating gaze of his cold eyes, Joanna swallowed nervously:”Ashton Heath, although we are husband and wife now, I don’t feel quite comfortable with our relationship.
I hope you can give so ti to adjust.”
