The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 16

Melvin lazily lifted his eyelids, “Since when did you become such a busybody?”

“Just curious, dude. If I knew you had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t have called you that night.” Willow said with a chuckle, “And you’re tight-lipped as ever. I mean, I get it if I’m in the dark, but Zephyr and Yannick too? You’re a regular secret agent.”

Read between the lines: Jocelyn doesn’t make the cut to meet his pals.

And it confirmed that he left that night because of her.

Zephyr frowned, “You two have met before? Here I thought we were all in the same boat. Willow, that’s not cool.”

“I haven’t seen Melvin for years and had no clue he had a girlfriend Just wanted to surprise him. Landed in the middle of the night and gave him a ring, who knew he’d actually show up? I had to assume he was still flying solo” Willow explained with a laugh.

Jocelyn was on pins and needles, wanting to make her escape.

Melvin poured Jocelyn a cup of water, “So, no more late-night calls unless it’s an emergency, okay?”

“Willow, you’re like the nation’s sweetheart now. Got a line of guys chasing you?” Zephyr prodded nosily.

Willow took a small sip of her drink, “Yep.”

“Got your eye on anyone? If not, how about giving me a shot? Zephyr teased, half-joking.

Willow shot him a look, “Ever heard of ‘don’t hit on your buddy’s girl’?”

Zephyr’s smile turned awkward, his eyes darting to Melvin who was serving Jocelyn food. Jocelyn’s hand with the fork. stiffened.

“When did you start flirting with Yannick? How come we didn’t know?” Zephyr asked Willow, then turned Melvin, “You had no idea, right?”
