Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 49

Joycelyn glanced over, her fair face momentarily showing a trace of surprise. She thought, “That watch… wasn’t it the limited edition the rich girl bought yesterday?

Joycelyn quickly snapped out of her thoughts, blinking a couple of times and replying. “It’s the first time I’ve seen a man wear a diamond watch, and it looks pretty nice. It must be really expensive, right?”

Ellison raised his wrist and looked at the watch before casually responding. “It’s just a watch”

“Mr. Grant is holding a birthday party today,” Linda said, her tone commanding. “The hotel needs extra hands to set up for the event. Everyone’s going to help.”

Joycelyn and Aurelia exchanged looks.

Aurelia responded, “Which hotel? We haven’t eaten yet. Can we go after lunch?”

Linda said briskly, her tone full of urgency. “They’ve arranged employee meals at the hotel.
