The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 27

Jocelyn was totally killing it in class today, her interaction with the students was outstanding.

When the bell rang signaling the end of class, Jocelyn wrapped things up. Normally, she’s not one to let her classes run

Jocelyn, you feeling okay? the class monitor came over, looking a little worried,

Jocelyn just smiled at her and answered. “Yes, I’m good”

“But your eyes are all red”

Feeling a bit sheepish, Jocelyn admitted. “Oh, I got face wash in my eyes this morning Don’t worry, I’m fine”

The kids’ concern really boosted her mood. Heading back to her office, she found a bouquet of roses on her desk.

Jocelyn, I saw these with the security guy on my way in and he said someone left them for you, so I brought them up,” another teacher explained

“Oh, thanks”

Jocelyn glanced at the twenty-odd roses, no note, no clue who they were from.

She never would’ve guessed Melvin, since he’d never given her so much as a single bloom.

Got an admirer, huh? Ursula waltzed in after her class and teased upon seeing Jocelyn lost in thought with the flowers Couldn’t they at least leave a name?”

Jocelyn just shrugged with a helpless grin, “No idea who sent them.”

“Whoever sent it will definitely send flowers again. You’ll figure it out,” Ursula said as she took a seat. “By the way, it’s my birthday today. No class tonight, so grace me with your presence for dinner, will ya? Don’t bother with a gift. Just bring

the fun.”

Another teacher chimed in, laughing. “You say that, but who’d show up empty-handed?”

I’m serious We’re all about the good times, not the formalities, Ursula asked Jocelyn, “You got class tonight?”

Jocelyn checked her schedule and answered, “Nope.”

Then you gotta come,” Ursula said. “I’ll drop the address in the chat. Everyone who’s free should show up. It’s a buffet. so as long as you’re not too late, there’s grub.”
