The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 40

Fresh out of the shower, Jocelyn spotted the study door ajar. Deciding not to butt in, she strolled out to the balcony alone.

The afternoon was still a bit rnuggy, but there was no direct sun here. A breeze made it quite tempting to just laze around and snooze
