Feeling a bit awkward in the company building, Joycelyn hesitated before speaking, “Assistant William, this is a sample that Linda asked me to deliver to the president for his review.”

William, who had just emerged from the breakroom holding a cup of black coffee for Ellison, glanced at the familiar paper bag in her hand.

“Perfect timing, the president’s black coffee also needs to be delivered to him,” he said with a warm smile, clearly implying that she should take the coffee along with the sample.

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.

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.
