After crying so much earlier, Joanna Lawrence was exhausted. Not long after getting in the car, she fell asleep, leaning against Ashton Heath.
In her drowsiness, she felt his phone vibrating.
Then she heard him pick up the call,
She faintly heard him say, "I'm not available now."
"Yeah, I'm with my baby, so I have to accompany her."
"Just go ahead and make arrangements, but don't choose any shoddy places."
"Alright, that's it. Goodbye."
Ashton Heath hung up the phone.
He looked down at the sleeping girl in his arms and whispered to Zack, "Turn up the air conditioning by two degrees."
"Yes, Mr. Ashton."
After driving for a while, as they passed a fork in the road, Zack asked, "Should we drop Ms. Joanna off at her school first, sir?"
Ashton Heath pondered for a moment before saying, "Head to the company directly."
Given her current state, he couldn't bring himself to let her go to school.
