Joycelyn’s phone call to Ellison had just connected, but Tommy snatched the phone from her and hung up, saying, “You’ve had too much to drink. Let me bring you somewhere to get some rest. He pulled her up to her feet with a lusty leer in his

eyes.

Octavia egged him on, saying, “It’s fortunate you’re here, Mr. Cross. My sister can’t handle her alcohol at all. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of her now.”

Joycelyn was beside herself with dizziness. She wanted to defend herself, but her words were choked in her throat, and the anger of being disrespected and set up burned in her chest. Her body, in stark contrast, seemed completely drained of strength.

Joycelyn kept glancing down the hallway, willing for Aurelia to appear and come to her rescue, but to no avail. Tommy and Octavia had soon dragged and pulled her along to the lift lobby.

Joycelyn could tell her chances of escape were getting slimmer and slimmer, and a deep sense of dread and fear overcame her. She realized that she could only count on herself, and she would protect herself by any means necessary.

With that thought in mind, Joycelyn promptly bent over and started puking.

Octavia was immediately disgusted and withdrew her hands from Joycelyn, quickly pushing her into the elevator with Tommy. “She’s all yours now, Mr. Cross.”

Tommy didn’t seem too fazed by the vomit. He helped Joycelyn stay on her feet in the elevator and told her to try and hold it in. Joycelyn ignored his advice and continued spewing bile.

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Tommy held on to Joycelyn’s arm and dragged her to the hotel room. “Baby, you must be feeling terrible. Wait till I take care of you, you’ll feel much better soon.”

Joycelyn had ejected most of the alcohol from her body by then and felt a little?
