My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2025 - 2019: It’s Like Being Slapped in the Face

How could he possibly not mind?

Unless...

The woman’s gaze swept over Joanna Lawrence’s excessively delicate and pretty face again, and her fair skin that seemed as if it would break with a touch, revealing a hint of jealousy in her eyes.

But she thought.

Ashton Heath couldn’t be such a superficial man.

To develop a fondness for a woman just because of her looks.

He should be a man who values the inner qualities and talents of a woman more.

After all, no matter how beautiful a face is, without any real talent and an empty head, it’s just a good-for-nothing vase.

With this thought in mind, the woman’s facial expression looked a bit better.

Just when she felt a little more comfortable in her mind, the office door was pushed open.

The woman was pleased, thinking that Ashton Heath had come back from the meeting.

She quickly adjusted her facial expression, hooked her lips with what she considered her most attractive smile, and then, restraining her inner excitement, turned around demurely.

"Ashton..."

Before the words "President Ashton" could be called out, she saw the person who walked in, froze for a moment, and then quickly retracted the smile on her face.

The one who came in was secretary of Ashton Heath.

Bringing coffee for Joanna Lawrence.

The woman glanced at the coffee in the secretary’s hand, thinking it was prepared for her, and said with a smile, "I don’t like coffee, I’ll have trouble sleeping if I drink it at night. But thank you anyway. By the way, when will the meeting over there be over?"

The secretary was taken aback and looked at the woman who was talking to her with a puzzled expression on her face.

But she still politely replied, "President Ashton is still in a meeting. It may take another ten minutes or so for the meeting to end."

"Oh, I see."

The woman nodded, glanced at the secretary’s coffee again, thought for a moment, and said, "Never mind, just give me the coffee. It doesn’t matter if I drink it once in a while."

With that, she reached out to take it.

The secretary’s face finally couldn’t hold back her expression.

"Sorry, this coffee is not for you."

"What... This, this is not..." The woman was stunned.

Feeling embarrassed, the secretary walked past her and handed the coffee to Joanna, who was sitting on the couch, "Ms. Joanna, your coffee is ready. Please, taste it to see if it’s to your liking. If it’s not suitable, I’ll make another cup for you."

"Do you need anything else? I’ll prepare it for you right away."

Secretary’s attitude towards Joanna was very respectful.

This was completely different from the attitude she had when she was talking to the woman just now.

The moment the secretary brought the coffee to Joanna, the woman’s face looked as if she had been slapped, and her expression changed instantly.

Seeing the secretary’s respectful attitude and the words she said to Joanna, the woman’s expression became even more unpleasant.

Because she had been here several times before.

The secretary had never been this polite to her.

Looking at Joanna with an ugly face, she opened her mouth to speak, when she heard footsteps behind her.

Then she heard the secretary respectfully call out, "President Ashton."

Ashton Heath had arrived?

The woman excitedly turned around.

When she saw Ashton, her eyes brightened and she took two steps towards him, "President Ashton."

However, Ashton didn’t even glance at her, instead walking straight past her.

He went up to Joanna, and without caring that there were still others in the office, bent down and picked her up from the couch.
