Chapter 2024 - 2018: Is it really because of this face that the discussion is happening?

Chapter 2024: Chapter 2018: Is it really because of this face that the discussion is happening?

The hostility deepened.

She was originally guessing Joanna Lawrence’s identity.

Now that she heard Joanna say she was also coming to talk business with Ashton Heath, her tone involuntarily cooled.

She looked at Joanna’s attire, and her sharp, unkind gaze fell once again on Joanna’s beautiful face, which made even her, a fellow woman, feel amazed. A trace of jealousy and dissatisfaction quickly passed through her eyes.

She wondered which company this girl belonged to.

She looked like an intern who hadn’t graduated yet.

How could a company send such a girl to talk business with Ashton Heath?

Did she look like someone who could talk business?

Or was she relying on her face to do the talking?

Thinking about this, the woman’s eyes couldn’t help but reveal some contempt, and her tone became a bit unpleasant: "Miss, since you were sent by the company to discuss matters with President Ashton, you represent your company’s image."

Her contemptuous gaze swept over Joanna from head to toe, and she pursed her lips in displeasure: "Do you think this place is your home? Do you think it’s appropriate for you to sit like this in President Ashton’s office?"

"What’s wrong with it?"

Joanna could, of course, see the contempt in the woman’s eyes, and she could also feel that this woman didn’t like her at all.

She didn’t bother explaining her true identity, and with a hint of amusement in her eyes, she lazily hooked her lips and said, "Of course I have to sit while waiting for someone. Should I stand all the time instead? You can sit too. Don’t just stand there. Aren’t you tired?"

"You..."

The woman frowned, "This is President Ashton’s office. You’re being too casual. When President Ashton comes later and sees you like this, he’ll be angry."

"How could he be angry?"

Watching the woman’s frustrated expression, Joanna found it a bit amusing.

With a wicked impulse, she touched her chin, smiled provokingly at the woman’s angry expression, and said, "Every time I’ve been here, I’ve always been like this. He’s never said anything about it."

The woman’s eyes widened, and her face showed great surprise.

She looked at Joanna incredulously, "You’ve always been like this when you’ve come before?"

"Yes." Joanna swung her legs casually.

"President Ashton never said anything?"

"Yes." Joanna nodded again.

"..."

The woman looked at her again, her eyes colder than before and her gaze even sharper.

Maybe it was just Joanna’s imagination, but she felt that the hostility in the woman’s eyes had intensified even further.

Such strong hostility made Joanna feel quite baffled.

She thought to herself that she didn’t even know this woman.

This should be their first time meeting.

She couldn’t understand why this woman looked at her as if she was a mortal enemy.

The woman stood there without moving, her brows furrowed tightly.

She had previously represented her company in talks with the Heath Group and had met Ashton Heath several times.

Ashton Heath had left her with the impression of being a very indifferent person and one who was difficult to approach.

As she recalled, Ashton Heath was a man of few words.

During their communication, they had never exchanged more than ten sentences, and most of the time, he responded with just one word.

He was also a man with great poise and aura. Every time she saw him, she dared not look at him. For once their eyes met, the coldness in his eyes could freeze anyone.

The woman really couldn’t imagine.

How could a man like that tolerate another woman behaving so casually in his office?
