Joanna Lawrence walked outside as she corrected him: "Mr. Ashton, you're still pursuing me, please mind your manners in addressing me."
A low chuckle came through the phone, accompanied by an indulgent and doting tone: "Mm, thank you, Ms. Joanna, for the correction. I'll pay more attention in the future."
Joanna pursed her lips and smiled, closing the dormitory door behind her as she stepped out.
Her steps were light and quick as she headed downstairs.
Thinking of the man waiting for her outside, a sweet feeling welled up in her heart as she continued her conversation with him: "Didn't you say it would take you 20 minutes to get here? How did you arrive so quickly?"
She had just checked the time, and it had only been 14 minutes.
"Mm." The man's voice was low and pleasant, "I wanted to see you earlier, so I ran a few red lights on the way and arrived ahead of schedule."
Joanna was taken aback.
