"Mm, it's her."
"I think I just heard her asking you to go out and talk about something?"
"Mm." Ashton Heath frowned slightly, his face showing a hint of displeasure. "This won't happen again."
"Ashton, I noticed..." Joanna Lawrence gently placed a hand on Ashton's shoulder, resting her head on it as well. She looked up at him, blinked, and said with a grin, "You seem to have great luck with romantic encounters."
Ashton looked at her and frowned.
Joanna grinned and continued, "Didn't you notice it?"
"Notice what?"
"Your assistant Griffin seems to like you. Don't tell me you didn't realize it at all."
"Griffin likes me?" The man's eyebrows furrowed even tighter.
"Definitely. No wonder she always seemed hostile to me when she saw me today. Now it's so late, and she asked you out to discuss work. Isn't it obvious? You're not going to tell me you didn't notice at all."
Ashton was silent.
Of course, he wasn't completely oblivious.
