CHAPTER 2467: CHAPTER 2480

"Maybe, is it because I haven’t been trying hard enough lately that you have time to think about these things?" The man’s voice became husky, the fingertips massaging her scalp gradually getting hot, and a layer of warmth spread at the bottom of his eyes.

Seeing his darkening gaze, Joanna Lawrence naturally knew what he meant by ’proving with actual actions.’

Her face immediately became hot, as if it was dyed with two red clouds, revealing a delicate and gorgeous blush on her fair complexion.

What a hooligan!

He’s been working incredibly hard already, okay?

If he tried any harder, she might literally be destroyed.

She isn’t afraid of heaven or earth, but she fears Ashton Heath’s "hard work."

"No, I didn’t..." She didn’t dare let him work harder.

"Then stop thinking about it." Ashton Heath straightened her messy hair, gently rubbed her head again, and said, "Aren’t you sleepy? Lean on me and take a nap first."

"Oh." Joanna nodded.

She lazily leaned on him, her head resting on his shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.

"Ashton Heath."

After a few seconds, she suddenly opened her eyes again, as if she had just remembered something, and looked up at him with her soft, black eyes.

"Hmm? Anything else?" Ashton Heath met her gaze with his pitch-black eyes.

"Do you know Mr. Allen Smith?" Joanna asked with curiosity in her eyes.

She noticed Ashton Heath hesitated briefly, and something flickered lightning-fast in his deep black eyes.

His eyes narrowed bit by bit, and as he squinted at her for a moment, he finally spoke, "Mr. Allen Smith? Why are you suddenly asking about this person?"

"People are talking about him on the Blog. They say he’s very impressive, even more so than Joel. If Heath Group could hire him, they would definitely defeat Kelloway Group. Do you know anything about this person?"

Joanna felt that Ashton Heath must know more about this person than she did.

Did Ashton Heath feel so calm and composed this time because he had actually hired Mr. Allen Smith?

But that’s impossible, right?

Netizens said that Mr. Allen Smith was incredibly mysterious, and no one knew his true identity.

"Are you... very curious about this person?" Instead of answering her question directly, Ashton Heath asked her.

Joanna nodded, not hiding her curiosity at all: "Yes, I’m very curious. I heard he participated in an International Jewelry Competition and even won against Joel in the competition. Everyone says he’s a genius jewelry designer with a limitless future. But aside from that competition, there have been no other works from him. Moreover, he’s very mysterious. He hasn’t even collected his own awards, letting others do it for him instead, and no one knows who he really is."

After listening to her words, Ashton Heath’s eyes flickered, and he looked at her for a moment, "I know a bit about him. What do you want to know about him?"

Joanna was stunned for a moment, and her eyes suddenly lit up: "Ashton Heath, do you happen to know him?"

"Mm, I know him." Ashton Heath replied nonchalantly.

Joanna was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened: "You really do know him?"

Ashton Heath glanced at her eyes that sparkled with excitement and agitation, and a somewhat amused smile appeared on his lips: "Of course, it’s true. What reason do I have to lie to you? Is this such a strange thing that it deserves your surprise?"

Joanna never expected Ashton Heath to know Mr. Allen Smith!

So, had she guessed right?

Was Ashton Heath so calm because he really had hired Mr. Allen Smith?
