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?

Ellison noticed that Joycelyn was staring intently and asked, “Do you

like it?”

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”

Joycelyn nodded in agreement, her mind once again being blown away by the wealth some people have.

A watch worth more than a million dollars–she’d probably have to work her whole life just to afford something like that.

There was a question she was dying to ask, but she hesitated and didn’t dare to speak it out loud. Instead, she pretended to be in a hurry to leave for work

The flush on her cheeks and the way her eyes flickered didn’t escape Ellison’s sharp gaze.

“Joycelyn, is there something you want to ask?” Ellison called out to her.

Joycelyn shook her head quickly and said, “Nope. I’m off now, bye…

That morning. Joycelyn drove faster than usual.

Linda had returned to work after being discharged from the hospital, and the office felt tense that morning.

Around noon, Joycelyn and Aurelia were just about to head out for lunch when Linda called them over.

“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
