Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Just as Ellison was about to place a kiss on joycelyn’s lips, the tilted her head back, her soft, pink lips puckered shyly, waiting for that sweet kiss. The atmosphere was charged, but just as the moment was about to happen, a phone rang,

Joycelyn’s long, fluttering eyelashes trembled, and her bashful expression shifted to one of embarrassment. She instinctively lowered her gaze,

Ellison’s brow furrowed, clearly displeased.

“Your phone,” Joycelyn murmured, suggesting he answer the call.

“It’s my break time. I’m not answering Ellison grumbled, already tilting his head towards her lips. But just as he was almost there, Joycelyn’s phone rang. She jumped, quickly fumbling to find her phone in her pocke

The tension of the moment was broken twice over, and Ellison’s handsome face twisted with barely contained frustration.

“It’s Sandra,” Joycelyn said.

“She’d better have a good reason for this,” Ellison muttered through clenched teeth, his eyes darkening

Joycelyn answered the call with a warm voice, “Sandra, what’s up?”

“Sandra here! Guess what? I got an awesome new car! Want to go for a spin?” Sandra’s voice was bubbling with excitement, so much so that Joycelyn could almost hear the joy through the screen. “And the best part? I didn’t use Ellison’s money. I made Leon foot the bill! Can you believe it? He even complimented me–quick, praise me!

Joycelyn saw Ellison’s phone light up with an unread call from Sandra too. It seemed that Sandra couldn’t keep a secret for long, especially when something exciting happened. She practically wanted to announce it to the world.

Unable to suppress a chuckle, Joycelyn could even hear Leon grumbling in the background, “Sandra, stop texting while driving! The speed limit’s low, watch out for bumps!”

“Shut up or I’ll throw you out the window,” Sandra snapped back, her tone suddenly sharp and feisty, clearly done with Leon’s constant chatter.

Leon seemed to be in a world of trouble, getting roasted by his assistant and now his girlfriend.

“Sandra, slow down. You go have fun with Yunting. I’ll catch up later, Joycelyn said, glancing at Ellison standing nearby, his face full of mock annoyance.

“Got it! I’ll hit the highway first, then pick you up later!” Sandra hung up and immediately revved the engine toward the highway.

“Let me out! I’m not going on the highway!” Leon yelled, clearly not thrilled by the speed demons around him.

Sandra’s sweet face curled into a sly grin as she pressed the accelerator, leaving him to scream in terror. “Toughen up, I’ve got your back.”

“Mom! Help me!” Leon’s frantic voice echoed as he gripped the handlebar, clearly terrified.
