The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 69

They were at a standoff.

A cigarette was finished, its butt hit the ground, sparks flying briefly before being snuffed out under his foot.

“There’s nothing left to say, let go,” he said, reaching for the car door.

Jocelyn didn’t want to release her grip, fearing that once she did, he’d go after Harrison to settle scores.

They were at a tug-of-war, neither of them backing down, not physically at least. But wasn’t this struggle over the car door also their mental tug-of-war?

“Harrison is Innocent. Jocelyn stressed again.

Melvin looked at her intently, “Your word doesn’t cut it.”

Jocelyn took a deep breath, “I’ll make it clear tomorrow to my parents that we’re faking a relationship.”

Melvin stayed silent.

Jocelyn bit back her frustration, I won’t break up with you.”

A flicker of amusement crossed Melvin’s face, “Quite the sacrifice you’re making for that guy”

“No.” Jocelyn clenched her teeth, “I like you, so I can’t bear to let you go; I don’t want us to part ways.”

Melvin chuckled

He pursed his lips, watching Jocelyn as if she were driven to desperate measures, a hint of mockery in his eyes, “Do you realize how fierce you look right now? If you had a knife in your hand, you’d probably stab me right here,” he said, pointing to his chest.

Jocelyn did indeed wish she could just off him, but it was only a fleeting thought.

“I’m going on a business trip. I hope you’ve sorted things out by the time I get back. If not, I’ll deal with it when I return,” Melvin said, checking the time. He couldn’t delay any longer.

Jocelyn knew his last words were both a warning and a threat, but the only thing that gave her a bit of relief was that he was leaving

“Let go, Melvin insisted, looking at her hand still clinging to the car door.

Jocelyn pulled her hand away, and Melvin retracted his foot, closing the car door.

Just as Jocelyn was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Melvin rolled down the car window, rested his elbow on the frame, and
