Chapter 133
“Lucy, don’t deny yourself. You deserve the best,” Joycelyn said. Hopping her from downing her drink, her clear eyes full of sincerity.
Lucy’s hand paused, and she smiled gently, teasing. “You’re pretty, so I’ll listen to you this time.”
“Cheers, no matter what, as long as we love ourselves, we can overcome anything,” Joycelyn said, raising her glass to clink with hers.
Lucy’s smile froze for a moment, but then her expression softened even more. “If you think so, I’m not worried anymore.”
Joycelyn also smiled and took a sip of her juice.
“Let’s eat. How long are you staying in Virelia?” Joycelyn asked, picking up her fork and eating as she spoke.
Talking about work, Lucy’s expression briefly turned serious, but she quickly masked it, replying lightly, Tll return once the contract is finalized”
Lucy answered truthfully but didn’t ask about Joycelyn’s plans.
Sometimes, knowing too much wasn’t good.
She knew when to stop and not pry into private matters.
After dinner, they chatted for a long time.
They talked about their university days, work, and shared past experiences and gossip that they wouldn’t normally discuss with others.
Unknowingly, the flight attendant announced that the plane was about to land.
“Have you booked a hotel? Are any other colleagues with you?” Joycelyn asked, a bit worried about Lucy being alone in a foreign country,
“It’s fine. I’ve been traveling for years. Business trips are like second nature to me, Lucy said, packing her bag with a tone full
of ease and fearlessness.
“Alright, if anything happens, remember to call me. He’s a good person and can take care of things, Joycelyn said gently.
Being in a foreign country made her a bit worried.
They both knew without saying that “he” referred to Ellison.
When the plane landed, Joycelyn and Lucy got off the plane and waited by the side.
After a while, Ellison came down the stairs with his tearn of assistants.
At 188 cm tall, he stood as straight as a pine tree.
Joycelyn looked up and was first attracted by his long legs as he came down the stairs.
Dressed in a black suit, Ellison’s chiseled face and deep eyes made his already striking features even more captivating.

Chapter 13
Without sunglasses or a mask, Lucy could see his true appearance.
This must be what they meant by stunningly handsome.
He had a clean, fresh look and exuded a unique charm without losing the masculine allure.
“Oh my, the novels were right. A domineering CEO isn’t something an ordinary person can be. Your husband is so handsome. Those broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs look so powerful. Joycelyn, can you handle it?”
Lucy was captivated by Ellison’s charm, yet she still worried about Joycelyn’s petite body.
Joycelyn fell silent.
“Keep your voice down,” Joycelyn almost wanted to cover her mouth.
Luckily, the wind at the airport was loud, and there was no one else around.
“Oh, it feels disrespectful to walk in front of the boss,” Lucy, who knew proper etiquette, said.
Joycelyn agreed after hearing that.
It seemed they got off the plane too early.
William helped her with her luggage.
We’ll be more careful next time,” Joycelyn whispered, a bit nervous
Soon, Ellison walked up to them and stopped. “William, arrange for someone to take this lady to the Grant Group hotel and make all necessary arrangements, Joycelyn, we’re not going the ame way, come with me.”
Joycelyn’s large, clear eyes glistened as she stared into the deep eyes of the man in front of her.
Nodding obediently, Joycelyn said, “Alright, please take good care of my friend.” She was very grateful for Ellison’s thoughtfulness.
“Mr. Grant, it’s no trouble. I’ve already booked a hotel, Lucy politely declined, not wanting to make Joycelyn uncomfortable
“No problem. The Grant Group has many businesses here. You’re Joycelyn’s good friend, so it’s only right to take care of you,” Ellison replied.
His clear and deep voice was filled with an authority that could not be ignored.
His tall, imposing figure cast a shadow over the two girls, and his calm, commanding presence was overwhelming.
Lucy, who had seen all kinds of big shots, felt inexplicably nervous.
“Thank you, Mr. Grant.” Lucy did not dare to refuse anymore and could only brace–herself to accept it.
She wondered if Joycelyn could be happy with such a dominant man. William came down and handed Joycelyn her suitcase in front of everyone. It seemed like he used a larger one to pack her original small suitcase inside.

“Thank you.” Joycelyn said politely.
William instructed his subordinates to escort Lucy to the Grant Group hotel.
“Everything is ready at the hotel, including a private car and tramlator. Miss Barrett can use these services as she wishes, and if there’s anything needed, the hotel manager will personally take care of it,” William explained, reassuring Joycelyn.
Lucy felt a bit overwhelmed by the treatment.
As a regular worker, she originally booked an ordinary hotel.
Now, she was upgraded to a seven–star Grant Group hotel, with er itinerary fully covered.
She felt both excited and a bit nervous.
Joycelyn, won’t this be too much trouble?” Lucy whispered, holding Joycelyn’s hand.
She was still worried about causing trouble for Joycelyn.
