"He really must have been bothered by what happened in the morning.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have done such a childish thing while she was asleep.
Men really care about the duration of that, huh.
Luckily, after proving himself the last two times, she was sure Ashton Heath was normal.
"Aria, I didn’t send you this." She firmly denied sending such embarrassing messages.
"Not you?" Aria Rowlett blinked, paused, and said, "But..."
Just a few seconds later, Aria’s eyes widened, revealing a look of sudden realization and extreme shock. "You can’t mean... the heartthrob..."
"Um." Joanna Lawrence nodded, "Indeed, it’s him."
"So, he saw what I said to you before?"
"Damn it!" Aria practically jumped up, ruffling her hair, and then she put on a long face, "I’m screwed, I’m so screwed. If the heartthrob saw what I said, he’d definitely want to strangle me. Baby, do you think the heartthrob will be angry? What should I do?"
After all, which man wouldn’t mind being told that he’s quick on the draw?
Especially her superior heartthrob, he must mind it even more.
Joanna Lawrence had a helpless expression on her face, shook her head, and spoke honestly: "I don’t know. But I think he probably isn’t mad at you."
"He isn’t?" Aria Rowlett immediately grasped at her hand, eager for confirmation, "So, the heartthrob will continue to appease me for your sake, right? He won’t hold grudges because of this incident, right?"
"Baby, you must help me a lot. We absolutely can’t let the heartthrob have any grievances against me."
Joanna Lawrence: "Me? How can I help you?"
Aria Rowlett looked at her earnestly and said, "From now on, you need to spend more time exercising with the heartthrob every day, reinforcing his confidence. Then he won’t care about what I said."
Joanna Lawrence: "Aria Rowlett, get lost!"
Aria Rowlett still had classes in the afternoon, so Joanna Lawrence lingered at school until she left for class.
Before getting in the taxi, Joanna Lawrence sent Ashton Heath a message: I’ve asked for leave, and I’m now coming to see you at the office.
Ashton Heath replied quickly: Wait for me, I’ll send Zack to pick you up.
Joanna Lawrence gave the driver the address, and then replied to him: No need, I’m already in a taxi. It’s just a ten-minute drive from here, there’s no need for such trouble.
Ashton Heath didn’t insist, and replied: Okay, then I’ll have Cody Aberton waiting for you in the lobby. I might be a bit busy this afternoon, I have a couple of meetings, and won’t be able to accompany you. You can wait for me in my office after you arrive.
Joanna Lawrence obediently replied: Okay, I got it.
Ashton Heath: Is there anything you want to eat? I can have it prepared in advance. Fruits? Cake? Ice cream? There isn’t much snack food in the office right now.
The conversation was quite ordinary.
But Joanna Lawrence still felt incredibly sweet.
Perhaps it was the feeling of being cared for, where her every little thing was taken into account by the other person.
Caring for someone genuinely is always revealed through small deeds.
The smaller things could actually make you feel clearer.
She pursed her lips and smiled. After some thought, she sent a voice message to him: No need to prepare for me, I’ll buy something from the cake shop later. I know a cake shop that serves incredibly delicious cake, want some? I can bring you a piece.
