The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 74

“So what? Are you going to teach me to forget the past? Chill out, with the little clout I have, how am I supposed to hold anyone accountable?” Jocelyn locked eyes with him, “Fine, Ill be grateful. I let it slide. Even if Willow does me dirty again in the future, I’ll turn the other check for your sake, let her drag my name through the mud and use her clout in showbiz to steamroll me. I won’t hit back. I won’t talk back”

“That’s how I should teach my students, right? So-called grace means taking crap from others, agree?” Jocelyn sarcastically replied.

Melvin furrowed his brows, “What the heck are you talking about?”

Talking nonsense, am 17 Jocelyn chuckled, “Your bro already came by to give me a heads-up, no need for a third reminder.”

Melvin was clueless about what she said. He let go of her hand and sat up, “Who came to see you? What did they say?”

Jocelyn just lay there staying pinned under him, making no move to get up

“Was it not your doing? How would they know which hospital I’m in, which room, without you telling them? Jocelyn wasn’t afraid to burn bridges, after all, they weren’t tight

Melvin whipped out his phone and dialed Zephyr’s number. As soon as it connected, he asked, “Did you go visit Jocelyn?”

Jocelyn couldn’t hear Zephyrs response, but then heard Melvin say, “Mind your own beeswax”

With that, he hung up the phone

Jocelyn had no interest in how these guys communicated. She was the outsider in their circle after all.

She rolled over to find the coziest position and closed her eyes.

Melvin took a glance at her and pursed his lips. “I didn’t send them to see you.”

Jocelyn just smiled, not responding

“I’ll handle the Willow’s wrongdoing, Melvin softened his tone, Just watch your step from now on.”

At that. Jocelyn opened her eyes, looking at him with a strange, cold stare, and suddenly laughed. She sat up, “Heh, so it’s all my fault, right?

Melvin, not wanting to set her off again, tried to be patient, I mean, just keep a good distance from other guys”

“Ha!” Jocelyn felt like she was talking to a wall, wasting her breath and life on every extra word.

Melvin didn’t like her reaction and frowned, ‘I don’t want to talk about it anymore. Just remember to mind your behaviour in the future.”
