Chapter 1926: Chapter 1920: I will eat well

Considering the previous stinginess of the Program Group, there was no way they would pay for a seafood barbecue out of their own pockets.

So there was only one possibility.

That was, in fact, Joanna’s boyfriend who had treated them to the meal that night.

"Joanna, from now on, we’ll be eating and drinking well with you."

A group of people joked and laughed.

However, the newly elected store manager Joanna felt a lot of pressure.

She had never even thought about becoming a store manager.

And now, with the heavy responsibility of being a store manager falling on her shoulders, it meant she would have to shoulder a lot more responsibility.

Joanna had a bit of a headache.

She was afraid that if she didn’t do a good job as store manager, she would let down the trust of others.

Later in the evening.

Before leaving, Joanna had a video call with Ashton Heath.

Once connected, she saw Ashton still sitting in his office, with a thick stack of papers piled up in front of his black desk.

The man was also holding a document in his hand, reading it.

But as soon as the video was connected, he immediately closed the document, and his deep dark eyes looked over at Joanna.

"Baby." He started, his voice low and gentle, yet a little hoarse from exhaustion.

He was always like this.

After spending time with her, he would go back and work overtime like crazy.

Joanna’s heart ached just looking at the thick stack of papers on his desk.

She had no idea when he would have to work overtime again tonight.

She would rather he not make time for her than to see him work so hard.

"You have to work overtime again today? Have you had dinner yet? You’re not going to eat something randomly in the office again, are you?" Joanna asked with furrowed brows.

In the video, the man was silent for a few seconds.

That was indeed Ashton’s plan.

He planned to have Cody Aberton buy him something, and then have a makeshift dinner in the office that night.

But with Joanna asking him, he couldn’t tell her the truth.

If he did, he’d be sure to get a lecture from her again.

"No, I was just about to go downstairs for dinner." He lied.

"Really?" Joanna was skeptical.

"Mhm, really. I promised you I would eat properly, so I would never lie to you."

"Alright, then remember to eat on time and eat well. No matter how busy you are with work, don’t forget to eat. Otherwise, you can easily get gastritis."

"Okay." Hearing her concern, Ashton smiled warmly as his lips curled up.

He grinned, "Wife, I will eat well."

Joanna’s lips lifted sweetly as she heard him call her "wife", "Mhm, my husband is so well-behaved."

Ashton was taken aback, and his smile deepened.

He felt as if all the fatigue of the day had been swept away.

As he looked at the stunningly beautiful girl on the video, his eyes softened even more, "How are you adjusting to the new environment? How is the place, can you adapt?"

"Mhm, I can adapt. The environment here is great, and the place I’m staying in is also great." Joanna said as she stood up and walked around the room with her phone in hand, "Did you see it? This is my bedroom."

"Isn’t it big and beautiful? Plus, sleeping in this bed is so comfortable."

"Really?" Ashton’s lips curled up. Seeing the girl in the video laughing so happily, he was infected with her joy and said with a smile, "Then I’ll come try it someday."

Joanna was about to say okay when she saw a fleeting flicker of mischief and ambiguity in the man’s eyes, and hesitated, her face suddenly turning a bit red.
