Chapter 174

Um… Joycelyn’s mind drew a blank.

She was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air.

The clevator door had opened to reveal a dozen employees, each one frozen, their eyes wide in shock as they took in the scene. No one dared to move.

“Mr. Grant, I just killed a mosquito, it’s fine now.” Joycelyn quickly retracted her hand and slapped the air a few more times, as if there were still other insects.

She was trying to act casual, like an office worker who had simply swatted a fly.

Ellison glanced at the woman behind him from the corner of heye.

“She reacts quite quickly he thought.

Joycelyn was strikingly beautiful, with an ethereal, almost otherworldly quality about her, and her cute actions stood in sharp contrast to that delicate appearance.

Ellison, never one to miss a beat, played along. He said, “Make sure the cleaning staff keeps an eye out from now on. No mosquitoes are allowed in the office

His voice, deep and commanding, rang out with a cool authority that filled the space.

Joycelyn clasped her hands together and nodded repeatedly as she said, “I’ll have a word with HR. We’ll make sure the problem is addressed.”

After all, everyone knew that Ellison was obsessed with cleanliness. He had already been bitten by a mosquito. Nobody wanted to risk angering him.

Ellison looked at the group, his voice low but firm. “Get in.”

The Grant Group employees outside looked at each other nervously.

He continued, “Why? Do I have to say ‘please‘?”

His voice was low and authoritative. It was loud and clear in the empty elevator. There was an indescribable aura around. him that was extremely oppressive.

The leader of the employees outside the elevator was the first to muster his courage and enter the elevator. The people behind slowly followed.
