Chapter 14: I Would Like to Ask You for a Favor

Just listening to that voice made people feel that the person inside was not easy to approach.

She followed Cody Aberton into the office nervously.

"President Ashton, Ms. Joanna is here."

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.

While her gaze continued to linger on him, the man suddenly looked up.

Joanna Lawrence met a pair of deep, cold eyes.

She was startled, her heartbeat skipped two beats as her eyes fell on his beautiful, deep face.

She had never seen such a good-looking man before.

His face, as if sculpted by a divine hand, every part and line of it was perfect, with no flaws to be found.

He had pronounced features, deep eyes, a high-bridge nose, and sexy, enchanting thin lips.

His bearing was inimitably noble, and he exuded an icy aura.

There was not much expression on his face, and his eyebrows and eyes were cold. Even from a distance, Joanna could feel the chill emanating from him.

When the cold, star-like eyes looked her way, her breathing halted for several seconds.

She stared at him blankly, her mind going completely blank.

Until a cold, magnetic voice rang in her ears: "Ms. Joanna."

Joanna Lawrence regained her senses.

Thinking about how she was just staring at him like a fool, her face became hot, she bit her lip nervously, "Hello, Mr. Ashton."

"I wonder what's the matter with Ms. Joanna looking for me?"

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. I heard Mr. Ashton used to be an authority in the field. I hope...I hope…"

"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…"
