Maddox Allenson listened to her words, lowered his eyes and fell silent for a while, and then nodded.
Joanna Lawrence continued to chat with him about some future plans and ideas.
About half an hour later, she was ready to leave.
"Ms. Joanna, may I ask you a more personal question?"
Joanna had already reached the door when Maddox suddenly called out to stop her.
Joanna stopped in her tracks, turned her head with a puzzled look, and asked: "What does Mr. Allenson want to ask me?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Maddox finally met her gaze and asked softly, "Ms. Joanna, is your boyfriend... good to you? Are you happy when you're with him?"
Joanna was a bit surprised: "Mr. Allenson..."
Maddox immediately said, "If Ms. Joanna doesn't want to answer, just pretend I never asked."
Joanna felt it was a good opportunity to clear things up with him.
If he really had any ideas about her, he could give up early.
