The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Melvin arrived

Spotting Preston sitting on the steps with a bruised face, his backpack on the ground, and a twig beside him, it wasn’t difficult to figure out what went down.

He glanced at Jocelyn before turning to Preston and asking, “Another fight?”

“Someone was targeting Jocelyn. I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I intervened, Preston summed up the situation in

one sentence

Melvin didn’t bother looking at Jocelyn and asked Preston, “Can you walk?”

As Preston stood up, Jocelyn quickly reached out to help him but Melvin swatted her hand away, not letting her touch Preston

Jocelyn’s hand was stiff as if suddenly frozen with ice.

“What’s that about, Uncle? Preston complained.

“Your leg’s not broken, is it? You do really need help? Melvin shot back, his voice icy.

Preston huffed. How do you know my leg’s not hurt?” He lifted his right foot, hopping on the left, and glared at him.

Melvin knew the kid’s game and pulled out his phone. “Maybe I should just call you an ambulance”

Preston snapped to his feet, glaring at Melvin before he stormed off to the car.

Jocelyn, feeling like a fifth wheel, still felt the need to apologize to the student’s guardian. “Preston was just being a good student. He got hurt trying to help me. I’ll cover the medical bills

Melvin’s tone was anything but friendly, “Of course. Who else?”

Jocelyn looked down, her feelings a bit fragile.

Melvin’s attitude was getting under her skin. But she tried to put herself in his shoes; any parent would be ticked off if their kid got hurt because of a teacher.

But Melvin was being too blunt, lacking any hint of subtlety.

She knew why she was upset. Because Melvin had turned frosty way too fast.

“You should take Preston for the check-up and then send me the bill. I’ll transfer the cash to you,” Jocelyn pulled herself together She shouldn’t be over-sensitive; any attitude from him was fair game now.
