It was Monday the next day. Having taken the previous week off Joycelyn returned to the office early in the morning.
She brought a lot of chocolates which she placed on her colleagues tables as soon as she arrived. She also kept some for Aurelia
Of course, these were bought by William on Ellison’s instruction
They were moderately priced, all within Joycelyn’s abilities.
Before leaving for the office, Ellison made a point to get Joycelyn to corroborate his story that a project had been finalized.
He even showed her a project proposal, which Joycelyn went through in detail on the way to work.
She memorized its general details.
As soon as she arrived at her desk, Joycelyn sent a message to Lucy to ask her how she was.
She had stayed there for three days and returned on the fourth day.
Lucy replied within seconds: “The project has been finalized. Transferred to the headquarters now. We can meet more often in the future! Hahaha!”
Seeing this message, Joycelyn was ecstatic. She replied: “Yay!”
Lucy sent: “Til treat you to a feast tonight.”
Joycelyn sent a high–five emoji and replied: “OKI
After they finished chatting, Joycelyn pulled out the wedding photos they had taken previously to admire them.
She had just clicked on a photo when Selene’s loud voice sounded.
She laughed, “Wow! My dear Joycelyn, you’re back!”
Joycelyn hurriedly locked her phone.
“Morning. Selene,” Joycelyn looked at Selene and greeted her. She continued, “I bought chocolates. They’re quite delicious. I gave you two boxes and the third one is for your boyfriend. You can eat them all though.”
The last time Joycelyn got into a car accident, Selene’s boyfriend had helped.
As such, Joycelyn gave her an extra box of chocolate.
“Alright, let
thank me
vou on behalf of him. Ill save a piece for him.” Selene laughed. She immediately went forward and eagerly opened a box of chocolates
It was almost time for work, and the others in the office had all arrived.

Joycelyn, who had been chewing on a chocolate, paused when she heard this.
It was as if she had been frozen in place. Her clear eyes scanned all her colleagues‘ faces.
This was not a week ago, but it seemed that the matter was ultimately known to them.
There was an unspoken rule in the office. Something unimportant would usually lose its value as gossip in two days
Joycelyn asked softly, “Did someone see the CEO’s wife?”
When she asked this, Selene immediately grabbed her and asked “Hey, you went on a business trip with Mr. Grant. Didn’t you see his wife?”
Joycelyn could hear her nervous self swallowing hard.
for!
As soon Selene as said that, everyone’s gaze fell on Joycelyn’s fair and beautiful face, waiting for her answer.
Of course, Joycelyn shook her head and said, “I was with a classmate I knew that day. She happened to be on a business trip there too. I know nothing about Mr. Grant’s private matters.
Even with Joycelyn’s explanation, her colleagues did not retract their gazes.
Selene did not think much of it at all. Instead, she said. “The daughter of that pharmaceutical family was also at the airport. Someone took a photo. I saw Joycelyn in the same frame as a tall woman. Stop staring at her like that. She’s not interested in others business.”
Selene took out her phone and clicked on a photo.
There were indeed photos of them at the airport.
Joycelyn was with Lucy. Some distance ahead of them, Ellison was with Isolde and Leah.
Aurelia spoke up at this moment, “If Selene was the one who went, we would surely be able to find out. However, Joycely
has never been a gossipy person. Stop gathering around her. Mr. Grant is going to have a meeting later Joycelyn, you should go and listen too.”
Aurelia intended to promote Joycelyn, so she had her go to the meeting as well.
“Do I have to go too? I’m just a team leader…” Joycelyn was not afraid of a meeting, but she was afraid of having a meeting with Ellison.
She was worried about exposing herself.
She felt that the entire company was curious about the true identity of the CEO’s wife.
Even though the old saying had it that the most dangerous places were actually the safest, she would be finished once the slightest truth was explosed.
“I’ll pass. I just came back and have a lot of things to deal with. The meetings with the higher–ups are usually pointless anyway,” Joycelyn tried to refuse
“Oh, that’s right. You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well yesterday? Or…” Selene leaned closer to take a look. There were indeed some dark circles under Joycelyn’s clear and bright eyes.
“Or is it because you’ve had too good a time with your partner?” After saying that, Selene immediately retracted her head to
