Chapter 1240: Chapter 1237: When did she ever say that?

Curious Bystander: As a total stranger, I must say I have no resistance to a man who’s seriously working. After careful evaluation, even though I can’t see his face from this angle, he’s definitely a handsome guy. And his body looks great; I think I see some pecs.

Anti-fans, of course, have to find something to criticize no matter what they see: What’s so handsome about him? He doesn’t even dare to post a clear frontal photo, only using vague images. Even if he’s not 165 cm, or an old man, he probably isn’t that good-looking. You guys act like you’ve never seen a man before, swooning over someone whose face you can’t even see.

In the past, Joanna’s comment section was full of anti-fans flooding the chat.

And they were pretty successful in doing so.

But this time, the anti-fans failed to consider one thing.

Although women can be harsh toward other women, it doesn’t mean they are equally harsh toward men.

On the contrary, women are usually more lenient with men, especially good-looking men.

So this time, as soon as the anti-fans made their move, they were immediately swarmed by fans attracted by Ashton Heath’s silhouette and work photos.

These loyal fans were unexpectedly strong, something paid anti-fans simply couldn’t compete with.

In no time, the anti-fans were silenced by the loyal fans’ counterattacks.

Even if some anti-fans tried to comment again, they were quickly drowned out by the fan base.

Jojthe comment section was unusually calm and peaceful for once.

Joanna Lawrence watched the whole process in disbelief.

She slowly looked up at a certain man who was still intently reviewing documents, realizing for the first time the great power of being a "drop-dead gorgeous man."

She hadn’t even let Ashton Heath show his full face yet, and he had already gained quite a few female fans.

If he were to reveal his face one day...

Joanna suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

No, she had to hide Ashton Heath!

She didn’t want those people to see what he looked like.

Perhaps her possessive gaze was too intense, the man who had been intently working seemed to sense something and slowly looked up.

Their eyes met, and Ashton seemed surprised, raising an eyebrow.

After a few seconds of eye contact, he closed the documents and the laptop on the table.

Then he stood up and walked over to Joanna.

"Sorry, I’ve neglected you for too long," he said.

He clearly misunderstood her gaze. Stopping by her side, he reached out and pulled her up.

Before Joanna could react, he was holding her jaw, and his warm lips pressed against hers.

"Hmm..."

Caught off guard by the sudden kiss, she struggled for just a moment before closing her eyes.

Ten minutes later...

She panted, leaning against his chest.

The man’s breathing seemed steadier than hers, not as hurried and chaotic.

However, Joanna clearly heard his heart pounding wildly, nowhere near as calm and collected as he appeared to be.

"Ashton Heath, what are you doing? Are you done with your work?" Joanna caught her breath in his arms, finally regaining her composure.

The man gently stroked her soft cheeks with his fingertips, his voice low and hoarse, "Didn’t you want me to kiss you?"

Joanna: "???"

When did she ever say that?

She suddenly remembered Ashton Heath’s gaze when they locked eyes earlier...

Did he think that the way she looked at him earlier was a signal for him to kiss her?

Joanna thought about his series of reactions and actions and decided that he must have misunderstood.
