498: Chapter 500: I will keep my distance from them.
The iciness in the man’s eyes was rapidly lting away, and the cold aura around him gradually ward up.
He tightened his arm around the young girl’s slender waist, “What about that Director White you ntioned?”
“Director White?” Joanna Lawrence was taken aback for a mont before rembering that she had praised Gary White earlier.
Silently complaining about Ashton Heath’s jealous nature in her heart, she replied with a sweet smile, “Of course, I admire you the most.”
“Director White is indeed quite talented, but compared to you, he still falls short.”
Since Gary White wasn’t here, she thought her comnt should be…fine, right?
Her current goal was to please the man in front of her.
“What about that Maddox Allenson you ntioned just now?” The man’s eyes teased with a faint smile, his thin lips curling up ever so slightly.
Realizing that the “iceberg” before her had finally ward up, Joanna secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He must be appeased by now, she thought.
Indeed, despite Ashton’s jealousy, it’s rather easy to cajole him.
Just a bit of coaxing, so sweet nothings, and he’d be soothed in no ti.
“Maddox?
I only t him for the first ti today, and we haven’t even spent a minute together.
I just think he seems to have a nice personality.” Joanna quickly followed up, noticing the man’s brow furrowing slightly.
“Of course, as you said, they’re all strangers to .
What I see is only on the surface.
I don’t know what kind of people they really are; perhaps their friendliness is just a facade.”
After she finished speaking, Joanna saw the man’s tense brow loosen up.
Ashton Heath patted her head, “Right, so rember to keep your distance from them.
It’s important to be cautious and not take everyone at face value, especially the male actors in your circle.
Most of them are quite casual about relationships, liking one woman today and another tomorrow.
You’re young and innocent, inexperienced with the world, and the easiest target for deceit.”
Joanna: “…”
Was he genuinely worried about her being cheated on, or was he just trying to scare her away from getting close to other n?
Whichever it was, she thought, just go along with it.
“I understand!” With an expression of humility and eagerness to learn, Joanna nodded firmly, “I’ll keep my distance from them.”
Ashton indicated his satisfaction with her response, and he tousled her hair again, “Rember, other than your husband, all the strange n who try to approach you have ulterior motives.
You’re not to pay them any attention.”
“If anyone dares to bother you persistently, let know.
I’ll take care of them.”
Joanna: “…Okay, I understand.”
Her obedient and clever appearance pleased the man greatly, and Joanna felt that the impending crisis had finally been averted.
“Ahem, Mr.
Ashton…shall we head to the company next?”
Zack, who had grown used to the lovey-dovey couple in the back seat, asked casually.
Ashton gazed at Joanna with tender affection, “Do you need to go to school?
I can take you there.”
Joanna thought for a mont and shook her head, “I don’t have many classes this morning.
In three days, I have to go to the film crew.
I thought I could go to the school this afternoon to request a leave.
In the next few days, I could read the script and familiarize myself with the plot ahead of ti.”
Ashton suggested, as if asking for her opinion, “Would you like to co to the company with ?” Before waiting for her response, he directed Zack, “Drive us to the company.”
