"Don’t worry, I won’t disrupt his work. I know what I’m doing." Rebecca Kelloway smiled gently at Cody Aberton, "I’ve waited for him before. When he’s busy, he doesn’t have time to care for me, but I can find things to do on my own."
That wasn’t what he meant.
"Cody, are you waiting for someone here?" Rebecca guessed that Cody was waiting for someone, but she didn’t expect it to be Joanna Lawrence. She thought Cody was waiting for an important client.
He was about to say that he was waiting for Joanna when Rebecca hooked her lips slightly and said considerately, "In that case, I’ll go up first so I won’t disturb your work. Oh, Cody, I’m having a birthday party next Saturday. You should come."
Rebecca was actually a very proud person.
Born into a noble family, she naturally grew up as a well-bred lady surrounded by people who adored her.
Like Ashton Heath, she has a cold and proud temperament. Although she seems approachable on the surface, there are only a few people she really takes seriously.
Cody was a valued assistant to President Ashton, so Rebecca treated him differently from ordinary people.
She would also give Cody some face.
For example, she would formally invite him to her birthday party.
This was not a treatment offered to just anyone.
Cody was about to say something, but when he heard about her upcoming birthday, he forgot what he was going to say in an instant.
He gazed at the beautiful woman standing before him with a bright smile. He felt a bit dazzled and hurriedly lowered his head, nodding, "Yes, Ms. Kelloway. I will definitely be there."
"You must remember to come." Rebecca gently patted his shoulder before she turned around, swayed her hips elegantly, and left.
A lingering fragrance lingered around Cody’s nose.
It didn’t dissipate for a long time.
He couldn’t quite say what kind of scent it was, but he thought it was somewhat tempting.
He slowly looked up, watching the woman who had walked to the elevator and was waiting for it to arrive. He couldn’t help but worry secretly for Joanna Lawrence.
Ms. Kelloway was really beautiful.
And her background was noble.
Besides, she was also a top graduate from foreign leading schools.
If she genuinely liked President Ashton, then Ms. Joanna would have a powerful adversary.
Although Ms. Joanna was also beautiful and wouldn’t lose to her in terms of appearance, she was no match for Ms. Kelloway in other aspects.
The Kelloway family’s background was entirely incomparable to the destitute Lawrence family.
Even in the past, when the Lawrence family wasn’t in decline, they didn’t have the qualifications to match the Kelloway family.
Moreover, Ms. Kelloway and Ashton Heath shared a generational friendship since childhood.
Just this point alone was quite threatening.
It was said that the pure friendship between President Ashton and Ms. Kelloway persisted because she never pursued him openly.
If Ms. Kelloway had been more assertive and bold back then, openly declaring their relationship and pursuing President Ashton,
Would Joanna even have a chance today?
As Cody’s mind was filled with random thoughts, he suddenly heard a soft, sweet voice by his ear.
He snapped out of it and turned to see Joanna standing behind him. He stared blankly for a moment, instinctively glancing towards the elevator only to see Rebecca had already entered it and the door had closed.
"Ms... Ms. Joanna, you’re here." Cody felt overwhelmed.
