Ellison And Joycelyn A Love Beyond The Rules novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Um… Joycelyn’s mind drew a blank. 

She was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. 

The clevator door had opened to reveal a dozen employees, each one frozen, their eyes wide in shock as they took in the scene. No one dared to move. 

“Mr. Grant, I just killed a mosquito, it’s fine now.” Joycelyn quickly retracted her hand and slapped the air a few more times, as if there were still other insects. 

She was trying to act casual, like an office worker who had simply swatted a fly. 

Ellison glanced at the woman behind him from the corner of heye. 

“She reacts quite quickly he thought. 

Joycelyn was strikingly beautiful, with an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality about her, and her cute actions stood in sharp contrast to that delicate appearance. 

Ellison, never one to miss a beat, played along. He said, “Make sure the cleaning staff keeps an eye out from now on. No mosquitoes are allowed in the office 

His voice, deep and commanding, rang out with a cool authority that filled the space. 

Joycelyn clasped her hands together and nodded repeatedly as she said, “I’ll have a word with HR. We’ll make sure the problem is addressed.” 

“Good,” Ellison replied in a deep voice. 

The employees outside the elevator sensed the icy air around Elson. No one dared to enter the elevator. The leader of the group braced himself and suggested they would wait for the next elevator since there were many people outside. 

After all, everyone knew that Ellison was obsessed with cleanliness. He had already been bitten by a mosquito. Nobody wanted to risk angering him. 

Ellison looked at the group, his voice low but firm. “Get in.” 

The Grant Group employees outside looked at each other nervously. 

He continued, “Why? Do I have to say ‘please‘?” 

His voice was low and authoritative. It was loud and clear in the empty elevator. There was an indescribable aura around. him that was extremely oppressive. 

The leader of the employees outside the elevator was the first to muster his courage and enter the elevator. The people behind slowly followed. 

The elevator was very big. It could have accommodated 30 people. Everyone was squeezed into a corner, but the area around Ellison was very empty. 

Joycelyn also quietly moved to where the employees stood. 

There was a strange atmosphere in the elevator. Everyone lowered their heads and looked at their shoes. They were as still as a statue. Every second felt like a year to them.

Chapter 174 

Joycelyn felt the same. She wanted to disappear, to shrink into the corner and escape the awkwardness of the situation. But her office floor was on a high level, so she had no choice but to re this out. 

When the elevator finally reached their floor, it was like a collective exhale. The doors slid open, and the employees rushed out as if they had been freed from a trap, each of them gasping or breath as soon as they were out of earshot. 

When an employee met Ellison, they would really be subdued by his domineering aura and not dare to breathe loudly. 

When Joycelyn reached her floor, she hurriedly fled without looking bark. She was afraid that she would cause more trouble. 

When Ellison and William were the only ones left in the elevator William could not hold back his laughter. 

William commented. “Mr. Grant, our company’s air purification system wipes out mosquitoes and even bacteria. You’re really something. 

The cooperative staged act was done so professionally. 

William rarely teased his boss unless he really couldn’t hold it in William’s laughter shook his entire body. 

“Shut up, he muttered, giving William a playful kick. 

William fell. His slender figure almost collapsed because of his laughter. 

but quickly grabbed onto the elevator wall to steady himself. He straightened up, turning to Ellison with an exaggeratedly respectful tone. “Of course, Mr. Grant. We’re here.” 

William even stretched his hands out and made an inviting gesture. 

Ellison’s face remained as indifferent as ever, his cold, handsome features never betraying a hint of emotion. 

If he had not seen it with his own eyes, William would not have thought that such a high and mighty man would cooperate so obediently with his wife’s nonsense. 

Before their marriage, Ellison had been unapproachable, almost ruthless in his control. But now? He was a doting husband and was obsessed with his wife. 

William was really going to die of laughter. 

Before stepping into the office, Ellison shot him a pointed look and ordered, “Handwrite a 10,000–word plan for next quarter and give it to me by the end of the day? 

William’s eyes widened in disbelief. 

William immediately stopped smiling and apologized sincerely. Mr. Grant, I was wrong” 

Ellison snorted, “Too late.” 

After saying that, he did not forget to look back at William’s depressed expression and asked, “Smile, why aren’t you smiling anymore?” 

William pulled a smile that was uglier than crying. 

Handwriting 10,000 words? He couldn’t smile at all at the thought of that. 

Joycelyn returned to her familiar office just in time for snacks. 

At each workstation were boxes of wedding favors, neatly arranged and decorated.

Chapter 174 

Joycelyn thought, ‘It has only been a few days, but Grandma has already arranged everything so well 

Previously, when Joycelyn had just finished the meeting and mether at Ellison’s office, she had asked Joycelyn about some details. Joycelyn said that she could decide. 

Joycelyn was busy planning the wedding and decorating their huse, so she did not interfere in the finalization of what would be given to the Grant Group employees. 

She didn’t expect the old lady to handle it so well. 

“Joycelyn, come and take a look. What’s the logo on this?” Selene did not have the time to hug and eat as usual. She called out to Joycelyn to gossip.
