Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 279

628

In the staff cafeteria, Aurelia used the director’s account to book a private room for the whole group so they did not have to lunch in the open dining hall.

Clement invited everyone to order their favorite dishes as if they were dining in a restaurant outside.

At first, the girls were here to dig for gossip about Joycelyn, but after hearing the whole story, they realized this guy was Lucy Barrett’s first love. The change in the female protagonist did not dampen their enthusiasm for gossiping.

“Clement, you’ve been separated from Lucy for so many years. Moreover, you’ve settled down overseas. The cultural differences are vast. Since both of you have already moved on, it’s quite a good outcome: Joycelyn saw that he was quite sad that Lucy blocked him and tried to comfort him.

“Previously, I had no choice because my parents migrated overseas, but now that I have the ability to lead my own life, I can move back to work and settle down in my home country, Can I ask you…

Before he could ask Joycelyn to help him contact Lucy, Clement saw a tall and domineering figure appear at the doorway of their private dining room.

The moment that man barged in, his dark eyes locked onto Clement. Clement instantly swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

He could sense this man’s murderous air being directed at him.

“Ask what? Ask her out for lunch? Great! We can all join in.” Ellison squeezed his way in even though there were no more seats at the six–person table. Behind him, William appeared magically with a dining chair.

Thump! The dining chair was plonked down beside Joycelyn noisily. Thereafter, William stood guard behind his boss. The special assistant had turned into a bodyguard. His glare directed at Clement was no less threatening than his employer’s.

Before this, Joycelyn was listening to Clement with relish when she felt a chill behind her back. Thereafter, that chill moved to her side.
