Chapter 120

After finishing lunch, joycelyn went downstairs, deliberately avoiding Isolde and her group. Back at the office, the first thing she did was forward the picture Selene had sent her to Ellison.

She casually asked: [Mr. Grant, could you explain what gift Dr. Mason gave you? The picture looks quite ambiguous]

After sending the message, Joycelyn looked at it again.

The tone of her message had the unmistakable vibe of a wife checking up on her husband.

She couldn’t help but laugh at herself.

into

From initially not caring about their relationship to now feeling a bit jealous, Joycelyn wanted to retract her message. But to her surprise, the busy Ellison replied instantly.

Ellison: Mrs. Grant, let me explain.]

Joycelyn bit her lower lip, holding back a smile, and quickly typed with her long, slender fingers. [Alright, you have one minute to make your excuse.]

Ellison: [She came to return the outfit she borrowed from you last time, but I already threw it away. We don’t wear clothes. others have worn.]

He patiently explained and even sent a cute lobby emoji.

If it wasn’t for the fact that it was Ellison on the other end, seeing that cute emoji would make Joycelyn think it was from one of her girlfriends.

It was silly but cute.

She suddenly remembered what Selene had said earlier, that the domineering CEO was actually a clingy puppy in private.

Ellison seemed to fit that description quite well.

Joycelyn didn’t mind much. She had indeed seen his messages and missed calls when she checked her phone earlier.

She just didn’t have her phone with her at the time.

Just as she was about to get up for a glass of water, Ellison’s call came through.

Seeing the contact name, Joycelyn immediately answered, “Hello?”

“Come up for a bit, Grandma has something for me to give you.” Ellison’s deep, clear voice came through the phone, so close that she could almost feel his breath.

“No, I need to rest for a while,” Joycelyn replied sofily, glancing around at her colleagues.
