Chapter 2880: Chapter 2410
"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 moment.
"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 immediately 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 me to come 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 times, 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 some 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 moment, 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 someone 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 meeting 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 somewhat skeptical about this.
Under normal circumstances, Ashton would indeed be happy.
However, this time, 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 become 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 some 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 document, 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 seemed very focused on the document in his hands.
However, Joanna knew that Ashton was doing this on purpose.
Deliberately ignoring her.
Feigning ignorance that she had arrived.
Ahead of time, 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 treatment game 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 temperament and strong presence, the simple white shirt became lavish on him.
