The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 56

Melvin wasn’t too pushy; he just wanted to wrap things up and head back home as soon as possible.

That woman was getting a bit too full of herself lately and might just fell for someone else any minute now. He was thinking he’d still grab a gift for her on his way back. That woman needs a little sweet–talking.. Right after hanging up, Willow sent him a Facebook message.

(Melvin, check this out.]

Below was a video.

He wasn’t into these short clips, but the thumbnail showed a familiar face, so he clicked with a stony expression.

The comments all saying ‘perfect match nearly drove him mad.

The video ended with Jocelyn and some dude hugging it out like they couldn’t bear to part, putting on quite the heart–wrenching goodbye show.

Ha, didn’t even look back when she left him, now she’s all lovey–dovey with another guy.

His once deep, affectionate eyes turned cold and menacing.

Jocelyn went back to her parents‘ home.

His father, Calvin still had work, so when Jocelyn had nothing to do, she’d hang with her mom, stroll downstairs, and hit up the veggie market.

Jocelyn was clueless that Melvin wanted to switch jobs for her dad. Only after he’d visited last time when she questioned her dad did she find out the company was nearly bust. Melvin had invested and became the major shareholder, saving her dad’s job.

“Jocelyn, why’s that new boss so keen on your dad? First, he saved his job, now a promotion and pay raise. Isn’t it curious?” Daisy was skeptical. “If your dad was a pretty young thing in his twenties, I’d get it if someone fancied him, but he’s an old man. How’s he landing such good fortune?”

Jocelyn’s gaze flickered. Of course she couldn’t tell her mom the guy was into her, and she was the pretty young thing in question.
