"Really, Ms. Joanna. From now on, please come to visit President Ashton more often." Cody Aberton sincerely suggested, "Although Mr. Ashton hasn't said it out loud, I'm sure he also hopes that Ms. Joanna would come over to keep him company more often."
"Cody, actually..." Joanna Lawrence quietly looked at him for a moment.
"Ms. Joanna?"
"Actually, it's you who wants me to come over, isn't it?"
Cody Aberton: "…Ahem ahem."
Joanna Lawrence directly exposed his little scheme: "That way, you can get off work earlier."
Cody coughed even more violently: "Ahem ahem ahem ahem..."

Joanna Lawrence waited for Ashton Heath to finish work, and the two of them went to have a candlelit dinner together before going to watch a movie.
The movie tickets they bought were for seats in the very last row.
As the movie began and the lights in the theater dimmed, it became pitch black all around them.
