Chapter 120
After finishing lunch, joycelyn went downstairs, deliberately avoiding Isolde and her group. Back at the office, the first thing she did was forward the picture Selene had sent her to Ellison.
She casually asked: [Mr. Grant, could you explain what gift Dr. Mason gave you? The picture looks quite ambiguous]
After sending the message, Joycelyn looked at it again.
The tone of her message had the unmistakable vibe of a wife checking up on her husband.
She couldn’t help but laugh at herself.
into
From initially not caring about their relationship to now feeling a bit jealous, Joycelyn wanted to retract her message. But to her surprise, the busy Ellison replied instantly.
Ellison: Mrs. Grant, let me explain.]
Joycelyn bit her lower lip, holding back a smile, and quickly typed with her long, slender fingers. [Alright, you have one minute to make your excuse.]
Ellison: [She came to return the outfit she borrowed from you last time, but I already threw it away. We don’t wear clothes. others have worn.]
He patiently explained and even sent a cute lobby emoji.
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was Ellison on the other end, seeing that cute emoji would make Joycelyn think it was from one of her girlfriends.
It was silly but cute.
She suddenly remembered what Selene had said earlier, that the domineering CEO was actually a clingy puppy in private.
Ellison seemed to fit that description quite well.
Joycelyn didn’t mind much. She had indeed seen his messages and missed calls when she checked her phone earlier.
She just didn’t have her phone with her at the time.
Just as she was about to get up for a glass of water, Ellison’s call came through.
Seeing the contact name, Joycelyn immediately answered, “Hello?”
“Come up for a bit, Grandma has something for me to give you.” Ellison’s deep, clear voice came through the phone, so close that she could almost feel his breath.
“No, I need to rest for a while,” Joycelyn replied sofily, glancing around at her colleagues.
Every time she answered a call, she felt so nervous.
“No more calls, everyone is trying to sleep, it’s inconvenient,” Joycelyn said quickly, not waiting for him to respond before hanging up and switching to texting.
Joycelyn: [Give it to me when we get home tonight.]

Chapter 120
After sending the message, she put her phone in her pocket.
Ellison set his phone down and called for William
William quickly appeared in the CEO’s office upon hearing the call. “Mr. Grant, what can I do for you?”
“Help me check the surveillance in the planning department, Ellison said in a deep voice.
William was taken aback but quickly understood. “Mr. Grant, if you want to see Mrs. Grant, you can just ask her to come up
He felt that monitoring the surveillance was somewhat inappropriate.
Ellison shot William a cold glance when he didn’t move.
His powerful presence commanded respect without anger.
William quickly stepped forward, accessed the company’s surveillance system, and switched to the planning department
Although the footage had no sound, Ellison’s displeased expression softened when he saw Joycelyn
Joycelyn sighed after hanging up the phone, taking a deep breath to calm herself.
She couldn’t deny it. This feeling of being a legitimate couple but acting like they were having a secret affair was quite thrilling.
Selene walked out of the coffee room and saw Joycelyn looking nervous. She couldn’t help but tease. “What flirty call were you having with your dear one? Your face is all red
“It’s red from walking just now, you little brat,” Joycelyn retorted.
Selene stuck out her tongue playfully and, as she passed by Joycelyn, she gave her a light smack on the backside.
Joycelyn froze and glared back at her. “You silly girl“”
Selene, holding her coffee cup, smirked mischievously. “Wow, such a firm and bouncy feel”
Joycelyn was both annoyed and helpless. This girl was so improper.
Luckily, the office was mostly women, so it wasn’t too awkward.
“You rascal!”
Selene didn’t deny it, grinning slyly
In the CEO’s office, William had intended to take a closer look but ended up witnessing Selene’s cheeky act.
His handsome face froze, and he quickly looked away, pretending not to see the awkward scene.
Ellison’s previously softened expression turned stern again.
“Who is that?” he asked angrily.
“It seems to be a colleague who is quite close to Mrs. Grant,” William replied honestly.
“Give her more work to do,” Ellison said coldly, his jawline tense and his deep eyes flickering with anger.
