Ellison’s phone rang. William was calling.

He picked up the call, holding the phone to his ear,

Without turning on speakerphone, Joycelyn clearly heard the update from the other end.

She felt her mouth go dry and reached for a white bottle sitting on Ellison’s desk. Without thinking, she twisted off the cap and took a swig.

After a sip of water, she looked at him, still trying to hold her ground.

“Okay, got it,” Ellison replied in a low voice.

Joycelyn, a bit jealous, moved quickly–too quickly for Ellison to stop her before it was too late.

She nearly downed the whole thing in one go.

As the liquid slid down her throat, she immediately regretted it. It wasn’t water but alcohol.

Joycelyn quickly stopped herself, coughing twice, then held up the bottle to examine it.
