She followed Cody Aberton into the office nervously.
“President Ashton, Ms.
After Cody Aberton said this, he turned and left.
The door was gently closed again.
For a moment, the spacious office was left with only Joanna Lawrence and the man sitting at the desk, engrossed in his papers.
This was an office filled with masculinity; most of the furniture was black or gray.
The colors were monotonous and somewhat depressing.
Only a few potted plants slightly alleviated the dull color scheme of the room.
That man immersed in the black desk…
Joanna Lawrence glanced at him, secretly, and felt the powerful aura around him.
He seemed to have a good figure, wearing a black shirt.
As he was bowing his head, she can only see an approximate outline.
But she could still discern that his features were very deep and three-dimensional.

Joanna Lawrence seemed to return to her senses.
Upon hearing his question, she was reminded of the purpose for today’s visit.
She suppressed the unusual emotions in her heart, regathered her thoughts, and said, “Mr.
Ashton, I want to ask you for a favor.”
Ashton Heath raised his eyebrows.
Joanna Lawrence knew that it was strange for her to suddenly ask a stranger for help, but for Jeremy Lawrence’s sake, she had no choice but to disregard that.
After a few seconds of silence, she said: “My younger brother has heart disease and needs surgery immediately.
Ashton used to be an authority in the field.
“You hope that I can perform the surgery for your brother?” Seeing her flushed face, Ashton Heath spoke the words following those that were difficult for her to say.
“Yes.” Joanna Lawrence exhaled, looking at him with pleading eyes, “Please, Mr.
Ashton, help my brother.
He’s only nineteen, still very young…”
