Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

“Alright, send me the address. Sandra and I are getting ready to head over now,” Joycelyn said, her mood light, her packing movements quickening.

She hung up the phone and contacted Lucy.

Lucy, who had just started her new job today, had only just arrived at the office and wasn’t familiar with her colleagues. She hadn’t quite fit in yet. But when she heard Joycelyn was having lunch with her, she was thrilled.

Without asking many questions, she got the address and immediately took a cab after work.

It wasn’t far for Lucy; just a twenty–minute ride.

The restaurant was on the 88th floor, and with her VIP status, Lucy was escorted by the front desk staff into the elevator.

Lucy quickly texted Joycelyn to let her know she’d arrived.

The elevator ascended from the second basement floor, and when the doors opened, a tall, elegant figure appeared before her eyes.

Out of the corner of her eye, Lucy noticed how the perfectly pressed trousers hugged his long legs. Of course, in a high–end restaurant, there would be more men with such refined charm.

Just as Lucy thought this, she heard a familiar voice. “Not coming in?”

Lucy looked up from her phone, and there he was: Haddy.

His eyes hid a depth of tenderness–warm, polite, and noble.

“You go ahead,” Lucy said, lowering her face again.

The elevator doors slowly began to close, but Haddy reached out, pressed the open button, and with a gaze that sparkled like stars, he lowered his eyes and softly said, “Haven’t seen you all day, Miss Barrett, and now you’re shy?”

Lucy shot her head up, her makeup bright, her aura one of a powerful woman, her eyes flickering with a trace of angry annoyance. “I’m just worried you’ll ruin my appetite later.”

“This restaurant has great food. It won’t ruin it,” Haddy said.
