The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 61

Chapter 61

Jocelyn was tormented by Melvin bright and early in the morning, feeling uncomfortable all over. She thought men really had a knack for looking spick and span outdoors but turning into beasts indoors.

To avoid a run-in between Melvin and her mom, Jocelyn thoughtfully suggested Melvin wait for them at the entrance of the old. neighborhood that afternoon.

She had to head back now.

Melvin grabbed her hand, “I’m eating lunch alone?”

“You wanna come over to my place for lunch?” Jocelyn’s retort made Melvin let go her hand instantly.

Honestly, Jocelyn didn’t give a hoot. If Melvin was up for it, she’d happily drag him home. Clearly, he wasn’t.

Jocelyn wasn’t bummed out or anything. She knew what the deal was. If he’d said yes just like that, that would’ve been a real eyebrow-raiser.

“If you’re tied up this afternoon, we can just grab a cab to the station,” Jocelyn gave him an out. It wasn’t supposed to matter whether he dropped them off or not.

“I’m free.”

“Then I’ll give you a buzz later.”

Just as Jocelyn was about to hop on the elevator, Melvin pulled her back-

He wrapped her in his arms, with a rare glimpse of reluctance in his eyes.

“Why don’t we find an excuse to have lunch at your place?”

Jocelyn raised an eyebrow, “What excuse? My dad’s at work today, so no one’s there to casually invite you over

Melvin pursed his lips, pondering. “Can’t it just be that you bumped into me and invited me over by the way?”

“Hal” Jocelyn couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity. What a genius was he to find such an excuse

She eyed him sideways, “Why so eager to eat at my place anyway? It’s not like you need to impress your mother-in-law.”

He hadn’t thought about marrying her, so there was no need to make a show of it to her parents.

If it all blew up in his face later, it would be a real kick in the backbone

“Can’t I just want to spend more time with you?” Melvin frowned, “Starting to get fed up with me?”

Jocelyn didn’t buy his bull for a second; he was probably just messing around.

She gently pushed him away, “Better not show up at my place too often. My parents are sharp; they’ll figure it out. And if they start pushing for marriage, it’ll be late for you to regret.”
