My Secret Billionaire Husband-Chapter 2062 - 2056: The Drunkard’s Intent Is Not In The Wine

"President Ashton, hello. Are you busy right now? Am I disturbing you?"

A woman?

Joanna Lawrence instantly perked up her ears.

It was rare for a woman to call Ashton Heath, she only knew about one named Rebecca Kelloway.

Listening to the woman’s voice from the phone, Joanna saw Ashton furrow his brows, and then he asked with an unkind tone, "What do you want?"

"Oh, well, it’s like this. President Ashton, I took today’s proposal home and looked it over again, I think there are some areas that can be revised. The revised proposal should be better than the previous one. So I wanted to ask if President Ashton was free right now so I could show you the revised proposal."

Joanna felt that the woman’s voice was somewhat familiar.

After the woman spoke a few more words, she suddenly remembered.

Wasn’t this the woman she saw in Ashton Heath’s office during the day?

Her name was, what, Griffin?

She was sure she hadn’t remembered wrong.

Joanna took out her phone and checked the time, which showed 10:30 pm.

Her mood: "..."

A woman choosing this time to arrange a meeting with a man to discuss a proposal might not really be interested in the matter at hand.

Regarding a woman making arrangements to "talk about work" with her husband late at night, Joanna Lawrence appeared quite calm. She turned her head and looked at Ashton Heath with a calm expression, waiting to see how he would respond and handle the situation.

After all, she wasn’t worried that the outcome would be unsatisfactory.

Ashton Heath had never made her unhappy in the way he handled these situations in the past.

He was always swift to cut ties with unwanted admirers around him.

Even with Rebecca Kelloway, whom he had known for more than 20 years, he decisively cut her off.

It would definitely be easier to deal with this Griffin.

The next second, Joanna heard her husband’s voice getting colder as expected: "Griffin, you should handle work matters during working hours. Do I need to teach you that? I gave you my phone number for convenient work communication, not for you to bother me with private calls."

"President, President Ashton, I, I thought you were not busy right now." The woman’s voice was clearly a bit panicked.

"You thought?" Ashton Heath scolded without politeness, "Whether I am busy or not is not the reason for you to call me in your private time. Griffin, I am married. You call me late at night and ask me out to discuss work; it would give my wife the wrong idea."

"I hope this is the last time."

"If you can’t distinguish between public and private hours, I will have Director Paulin arrange for someone else to handle this cooperation."

"What, President Ashton, you’re married?! But, but wasn’t that your girlfriend?! How could it be..." A shocked voice came from the woman on the phone.

However, Ashton Heath had no intention of explaining.

He hung up the phone without waiting for the woman to finish speaking.

Feeling the gaze beside him, he lowered his head and met Joanna’s beautiful, dark eyes.

"She’s a staff member assigned by a cooperating company. She called me because of some work-related matters." Before Joanna could ask, Ashton Heath proactively confessed.

"I didn’t know she was so unwise as to call at this time." 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Is she the woman who came to your office today to look for you?" Though Joanna said this, she knew that the woman’s intentions were not really to discuss work; it was merely an excuse.
