Chapter 542: Chapter 541: Ms. Kelloway, how did you get here?

Cody Aberton was waiting for Joanna Lawrence in the hall.

However, he didn’t expect to see Rebecca Kelloway before Joanna arrived.

Upon seeing Rebecca, Cody couldn’t help but be surprised: "Ms. Kelloway, what brings you here?"

Rebecca’s smug smile barely lasted three seconds before it froze on her face.

She immediately sensed the underlying meaning of Cody’s words.

Obviously, Cody wasn’t waiting here for her.

He didn’t even know she was coming.

Before coming, Rebecca had sent a message to Ashton Heath, but he claimed to be too busy to see her.

Nevertheless, Rebecca came anyway.

Seeing Cody earlier, she thought though Ashton said he was busy, he didn’t really mind her coming, and even asked Cody to wait for her.

She was proven wrong so quickly, and it made her somewhat embarrassed.

However, regardless of the circumstances, Ms. Rebecca always maintained her poise and grace. Quickly, her expression returned to normal, and she offered a gentle smile: "I came to see Ashton. Is he busy right now?"

Rebecca had visited Heath Group before.

At the time, Ashton wasn’t the CEO yet, but the vice president.

The only woman who could get close to President Ashton at the time was Ms. Kelloway, standing right in front.")

Cody knew the Heath family and the Kelloway family were close, and Rebecca and Ashton had a good relationship. So hearing her say she was visiting Ashton didn’t come as a surprise.

He nodded and said, "President Ashton is in a meeting. Do you have important matters to discuss with him, Ms. Kelloway?"

"Not really." Rebecca gently bit her lip, furrowing her brows as if troubled by something. After a few moments of silence, she sighed, "Ashton and I had a misunderstanding recently, and he’s still upset with me. I’ve been thinking that we should talk it out face-to-face, so I came to find him."

"Since he’s in a meeting, I’ll wait for him in his office."

Cody was about to nod and take her upstairs when he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t met Joanna yet.

"Uh, Ms. Kelloway." He glanced at his watch and looked out the front door, then reluctantly said, "How about you come find President Ashton another day? He’s going to be very busy today and probably won’t have any free time until the afternoon."

"You’ll be waiting a long time if you wait for him."

Cody was thinking that Joanna would be arriving soon.

It might not be a good idea to have Rebecca waiting in Ashton’s office.

Although Ms. Kelloway had a purely platonic relationship with President Ashton, she was, after all, the only woman who had ever been close to him. Ms. Joanna might not be indifferent to that fact.

Women could be very jealous.

And he had been working by President Ashton’s side for a few years now.

He always felt that President Ashton’s feelings for Ms. Kelloway were purely platonic.

But as for Ms. Kelloway’s feelings for President Ashton... that might not be the case.

Women could be very calculating.

If Ms. Kelloway really had feelings for President Ashton and saw Ms. Joanna later, she might not be happy about it.

What if she caused trouble while President Ashton wasn’t around?

To his surprise, his words didn’t deter Rebecca.

Rebecca smiled and said nonchalantly, "I’ll wait for him then. He can’t be busy not leaving work forever, right?"

Cody: "...Ms. Kelloway."
