The congenial lunch atmosphere had been ruined by Ellison’s presence. Everyone was in no mood to enjoy their food, much less in the mood to gossip.

Clement wisely did not talk about his relationship with Lucy anymore. Instead, he was tactful enough to discuss some work- related matters with Ellison.

As a result, the camaraderie between the two men materialized naturally.

Joycelyn, Selene, Melly, and Aurelia exchanged glances as they kept their heads low to eat. They wanted badly to talk to one another, but they could only swallow all their words together with their food.

After lunch, Joycelyn bade Clement goodbye. “I’ll let Lucy know, but ultimately, it’s up to her to decide.”

“Mm–hmm. Sure. Sorry to trouble you.” Clement thanked Joycelyn politely.

After he got into the elevator and left, Joycelyn heaved a sigh of relief.

Selene then patted her chest with all her might. “Gosh, I was scared to death. That time, after my senior had a meal with Mr. Grant, he was sent to Africa and hasn’t returned yet. My dear Joycelyn, Mr. Grant is watching you too closely. When you sleep with your husband, remember to close the doors and windows tightly. Otherwise, Mr. Grant may slip inside in the middle of the night and hang around near your bed.”

“Damn! I almost choked to death when I was eating just now, but I didn’t dare to make a sound.” Melly felt the same way, and her face was still tense with lingering fear.

Joycelyn nodded in agreement. “I only focused on eating and didn’t dare to look elsewhere.”

“Hush! Mr. Grant is coming,” Aurelia whispered.

Instantly, the three of them stood there respectfully and obediently, breathing as quietly as possible.

“Joycelyn Maynard, come to my office.” Ellison barked out an order when he passed by the girls, though he looked straight
