The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 25

The next moming, Jocelyn headed off to school.

During lunchtime, Ursula came over with her meal, plopped down next to Jocelyn, and handed her phone over, saying,

Check this out, the minute Willow’s back she became the ambassador of a jewelry brand”

The moment Jocelyn heard Willow’s name, her food suddenly tasted like cardboard.

She couldn’t resist taking a peek and sure enough, there was Willow at the jewelry brand’s signing event.

But it wasn’t Melvin doing the signing It was Zephyr

Well, wasn’t that convenient? With all this back and forth, it would be only a matter of time before they’re an item. They’ve got the perfect setup for a little office romance

“Something’s fishy, though Even though Willow is extremely popular, it’s surprising she’d land a brand endorsement. contract right after returning I remember the jewelry company never used ambassadors before, so this exception makes me wonder if there’s some undisclosed secret between the company owner and her…”

Ursula muttered to herself, scrolling through the comments under the video. Most of them were all about how stunning Willow looked Willow slays!, She deserves this”, ‘The jewelry brand’s got good taste!”

And more importantly, a bunch of Willow’s fans had already started hitting up the stores, snapping up jewelry left and right to show their support.

Got to admit, she’s kind of a big deal, Ursula said, putting down her phone. She noticed Jocelyn looking down in the dumps and couldn’t help but ask, “What’s up with the long face?”

Jocelyn had lost her appetite. She shook her head. “Maybe it’s the heat. I’m just not feeling hungry. You enjoy your meal; I’m gonna head out

Back at the office, Jocelyn clicked on Twitter’s top stories and there was Willow, looking fresh as a daisy in a floral sundress, her hair tied up in a cute bun, her innocent features on full display, decked out in the brand’s bling, striking a variety of poses.

Lying up in the hospital one day, taking endorsements the next, talk about dedication to the job.

Melvin’s really looking out for Willow by setting her up with such a sweet deal right off the bat. It’s hard to imagine Willow not becoming a sensation with this kind of

exposure.

With Melvin backing her, Willow’s got a fast track to the top of the entertainment industry.

Jocelyn Preston’s voice came from the doorway, startling her enough to drop her phone on the desk.

She quickly turned off her phone and asked nonchalantly, “What’s up?”

The office was empty except for Jocelyn.
