"This early?" Ashton Heath hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Why not, you can bring your classmates and come play with us?"
"Huh?" Joanna Lawrence blinked, "Play with you guys?"
"I’m nearby right now, I’ll come to pick you up."
Ashton Heath finished speaking and hung up before Joanna Lawrence could respond.
Joanna Lawrence remained in her phone-calling posture, looking confused.
She... didn’t agree to it yet, right?
Curious about her expression, Aria Rowlett asked, "What’s up?"
Joanna Lawrence looked at her, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Your heartthrob just said that he’s nearby and wants us to go play with them. You... are you going?"
"Was it my heartthrob who just called?"
"He said he wants us to play with them?"
"So, my heartthrob is with his friends right now?"
"Let’s go!" Aria Rowlett said excitedly, "Birds of a feather flock together, my heartthrob is so amazing, his friends must be a bunch of top-notch handsome guys too, right? Oh, just thinking about being able to see so many eye candy soon, I wish I could grow wings and fly there."
Joanna Lawrence: "..."
Alright, she was actually worried that Aria Rowlett wouldn’t like being in a place with so many strangers.
It seems she didn’t need to worry so much after all.
As expected, for a face lover (a person who admires beautiful faces), appearance is justice!
The two of them were waiting for Ashton Heath at the receptionists’ resting area.
After waiting for a few minutes, Joanna Lawrence heard a familiar voice above her head, with a hint of surprise and excitement, "Joanna, is that you?"
Joanna Lawrence furrowed her eyebrows instantly,
She looked up and saw a face she least wanted to see.
The man was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a dark tie. He stood at 6 feet, giving him an upright and slender figure, and his handsome and gentle appearance easily attracted attention from the opposite sex.
The receptionists frequently glanced at him, admiration in their eyes.
Although Joanna Lawrence strongly disliked David Benington now, she couldn’t deny that his various qualities were excellent in the eyes of the opposite sex.
Handsome appearance, good family background, talented and ambitious - how many women wouldn’t like a man like that?
In the past, Joanna Lawrence liked him too.
But after learning about his disgusting dealings with Annie Lawrence, the only thing she felt for him was disgust.
Especially after the last time, when he chose to believe Annie and thought Joanna was a malicious woman, she gave up on him completely.
At that moment, she felt that she had been blind for the past ten years.
Otherwise, how could it be that only now did she realize David Benington was a jerk?
"Joanna, it’s really you. Why are you here?" David stared at Joanna’s still bright and beautiful face, his eyebrows furrowing.
A place isn’t one that just anyone can access.
Only those with significant influence and wealth are allowed to enter.
With Joanna’s identity, there’s no way she could have come here on her own.
So, it must be someone else who brought her here.
Considering that he had previously seen her sitting in a Rolls-Royce, as well as what Annie had mentioned about the rich old man, Jacob, David’s face grew increasingly sullen.
Could it be that she had truly fallen for money?
"It’s none of your business." Joanna Lawrence’s eyes were cold, her tone icy, her entire being exuding a distant, repellent air.
