Chapter 178: Chapter 180: A Scene of Abusing the Dog

It was hard to associate him at this moment with the passionate flirt he was in front of her before.

It felt like they weren’t the same person.

Not wanting to disturb his work, she quietly tiptoed out. As she was just taking a step, she saw the man who was seriously reading documents a second ago slowly raise his head, looking straight at her.

He opened his mouth, his voice gentle and sexy, asking her, "Baby, did you sleep well?"

Joanna: "..."

She bit her lip, feeling a little embarrassed as she walked towards him, "Did I disturb you?"

"No."

Ashton Heath put down the pen in his hand and beckoned her with his fingers.

Just as Joanna walked up to him, he reached out and pulled her into his embrace, his strong arm wrapping around her waist, holding her delicate body as she sat on his lap.

The warm breath blew against her ear, and the man’s voice practically pressed against it as he spoke, "You are much more important than work."

Joanna’s face instantly turned red.

Since she had just woken up, her face was already red, so it wasn’t that noticeable.

One moment, the man emanated an air of abstinence, and the next, he was flirting with her in various ways.

Her heart raced wildly.

"Why didn’t you take me back to school?" His breath scattered against her ear, like a feather gently brushing past, causing her ear to tickle. Joanna turned her head slightly, trying to avoid it.

The man chuckled softly, "You fell asleep in the car. Seeing you sleep so soundly, I couldn’t bear to wake you up, so I just brought you to the company."

Joanna had already informed Aria Rowlett beforehand.

So, not going to school in the afternoon didn’t matter much.

"...Can you let me go?" With Joanna in his arms, she could only breathe in his scent. Pressed against his warm, solid chest, her heart raced incredibly fast.

So fast that...it frightened her a little.

This feeling was foreign to her, enough to make her feel unsettled.

It wasn’t like this when she was with David Benington.

Perhaps it was because she and David had known each other for so long, while she and Ashton didn’t know each other very well.

That’s why she wasn’t used to the excessive intimacy between them.

"Can’t." The man chuckled again, patting her head with a doting look in his eyes that she didn’t see, "Baby, I like holding you like this. Don’t you like me holding you?"

Joanna: "..."

"Hm? Do you like it when your husband holds you like this?"

She didn’t answer. The man lifted her chin, his deep, enchanting eyes gazing at her, "Answer me."

Joanna felt her face burning hot as if on fire, heat constantly seeping from her pores. Her eyes flickered a few times, "Ashton Heath, I..."

Knock, knock, knock.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

A voice sounded from outside, "President Ashton, there’s a document that needs your personal review."

Joanna immediately tried to push Ashton away.

However, the man seemed to have anticipated her move, tightening his arm around her, holding her firmly, and nipping her earlobe gently, "Don’t move."

Joanna stiffened, her ears starting to heat up as well.

Seeing her shy and blushing face, Ashton Heath’s lips curved in amusement, and he raised his head to address the person outside, "Come in."

Cody Aberton opened the door, only to witness a scene of dog abuse.

His boss, President Ashton, held Ms. Joanna in his arms while sitting at his desk, one hand holding a document and the other wrapped around Ms. Joanna’s waist.
