Chapter 54

Jocelyn was standing by Melvin’s side, pondering seriously, then replied, “Nah, I don’t feel like it.”

Melvin turned to her, “Why?”

“What am I supposed to do when you’re off on a business trip?”

She had thought it through. She couldn’t always dance to his tune.

You can’t spoil men too much, give them an inch and they’ll take a mile.

If she came running every time when he just snapped his fingers, what would that make her?

“Didn’t you say you wanted to hang out with me?”

“Is that your idea of hanging out?”

Tll have time for you once I’m done with work.”

“No thanks,” Jocelyn cut him off decisively.

Melvin was puzzled; she had seemed thrilled when they were talking about buying plane tickets for her just moments ago. How had she changed her mind so quickly?

Jocelyn glanced at the clock, “You’d better hurry up and go through the security check, don’t miss your flight.” “Are you shooing me away?”

Jocelyn pulled a shocked face, “Hey, what if you miss your flight? I’m looking out for you, okay?”

Melvin huffed, “You’d better be.”

“Or what?”

Just then, Jocelyn’s phone rang.

She had a glance at it; it was a voice call from Harrison, and at that moment, she suddenly felt a bit guilty. From where he stood, Melvin could clearly see the name of the man calling her, his eyes narrowing, hooking onto Jocelyn, waiting to see how she’d explain next.

Jocelyn hung up the call right away, then texted back. [What’s up? It’s not convenient for me to answer the call right now.]

“Not convenient?” Melvin’s voice was icy as it reached her ears, “How come?”

Jocelyn shoved her phone back into her bag with a forced smile, “It’s too noisy here, not a good place to answer the call.”
