Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 52

Hearing Selene’s excited tone, Joycelyn couldn’t help but ask, “What’s going on?”

She had left in a hurry and hadn’t noticed what had happened behind her.

Selene pulled off her mask, took a long gulp of water from a bottle, and then, with excitement in her voice, told Joycelyn:

“You know how we all thought Ms. Wilson and Mr. Grant were each other’s first love? Well, today Mr. Grant wore a light pink shirt, and we all thought he was getting a little love–struck.

“But then, he just went up to that rich girl and told her to her face, “That pink makes you look too old–fashioned. Don’t wear it again.”

When Selene mimicked Ellison’s voice for that last line, she puffed up her chest and tried to sound deep.

Joycelyn, who had just taken a sip of water to clear her throat, almost spat it out. She had to swallow quickly to avoid bursting out laughing.

“Did he really say that?” Joycelyn wiped her mouth, her face wide–eyed in disbelief.

Selene nodded furiously, her face lighting up with laughter.

“Yes! And he said it right in front of everyone. You wouldn’t believe it–there was so much tension in the air just then. If I were Ms. Wilson, I would’ve wanted to dig a hole and hide in it

Just imagining it made Joycelyn cringe with secondhand embarrassment.

“With the mood being so awkward outside, we’d better be careful, Joycelyn said, reluctantly.

She had a feeling Ellison wasn’t in a great mood today and didn’t want to risk drawing his ire.

She put on her mask snugly, only leaving her eyes visible, trying not to expose her identity.

He was a high–powered CEO, and his wife was here picking up trash at a party–she must be making him look bad.

Joycelyn was worried that he might seek her out later for some kind of reckoning.

“We don’t have to do anything.” Selene interrupted her thoughts, “Mr. Grant said he has a thing about cleanliness, so now everyone at the party is self–regulating. We don’t have to clean up anymore.”

“Wait, they’re letting those rich kids pick up the trash?” Joycelyn was taken aback.
