Joycelyn frowned. “I have work to do, I can’t go in.”

“I think the president would prefer if you delivered it personally,” William said with a teasing smile, his professional demeanor mixed with a hint of playful matchmaking.

Joycelyn couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed but reluctantly took the coffee from him.

She couldn’t help wondering what could be so important that Linda would give up the chance to impress Ellison herself. ‘Has Linda lost some influence behind the scenes and grown cautious?‘ Joycelyn thought.

His gaze, deep and unreadable, combined with his aristocratic aura, made him seem almost untouchable.

Even sitting down, he exuded an air of elegance and power.

His presence was magnetic, the kind of man whose beauty made it hard to look away.
