The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 18

Chapter 18

After dinner. Daisy helped tidy up a bit and glanced at the closed bedroom door, commenting, “Usually, the room door is left open for ventilation. It’s not good if the air can’t circulate.”

Jocelyn, afraid that Daisy was going to open the door for her, quickly went over and did it herself. “Yeah, I just closed it while cooking. Didn’t want the cooking smell to get in”

Her eyes swept the room and caught sight of Melvin, frozen in place by her dressing table, looking like a deer caught in

the headlights

Just by watching his Adam’s apple bobbing nervously, she could tell he was on pins and needles

She found it both amusing and a bit heartbreaking

It was amusing seeing him trying to make himself invisible in the corner, but it was heartbreaking realizing how scared he was of their relationship coming to light.

Their so-called relationship only applied to the two of them; to everyone else, it was still under the radar.

Jocelyn saw her parents out of the building and watched them leave. Turning back to Preston, she said, “I don’t have your address so you’ll need to hail a cab yourself. I’ll cover the fare.

uncle had for Jocelyn.

Jocelyn smiled helplessly. “We agreed from the start.

“Is this what you call dating? Preston asked, cutting to the heart of the matter.

Jocelyn looked down, pressing her lips together, feeling a tightness in her chest.

Preston’s cab arrived. He looked at Jocelyn and sighed softly. “I’m off then.”

Mhm. Drop a message when you get home, or call your uncle.”

After Preston left, Jocelyn didn’t rush upstairs. Instead, she took a seat on a bench.

Flashes of her and Melvin together ran through her mind, crystal clear.
