Chapter 65

As Jocelyn just couldn’t bail, she sat all resigned and quiet in her seat, not uttering a word. Even if Melvin was scheming to sell her off at this moment, she wouldn’t say boo.

Melvin shot her a glance. “Still angry?”

“Nope.”

“It won’t happen again.”

Melvin was pretty even-keeled himself today. “It just happened to be your dad today, she would’ve done the same to anyone else.” “Coincidence?” Jocelyn snorted softly. “Why don’t you just say she didn’t know he was my dad then?”

“Jocelyn, can we be reasonable?

“I’m not throwing a fit or making a scene. Isn’t that being reasonable?” Jocelyn said, “Seeing how she treated my dad today and her smug face, I was holding back big time. I regret having not convinced him to reject that job at your company.”

Melvin pulled over to the curb and turned to face her with a serious look. “What do you want me to do to put today behind us?

To blacklist Willow from your company.”

You re being unreasonable.

“Then forget it” Jocelyn unbuckled her seat belt, ready to open the door and get out.

The locks clicked down, and Jocelyn couldn’t open the door.

“What are you up to?” Jocelyn asked blandly.

She looked at Melvin calmly.
