The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 88

Jocelyn had had enough. She couldn’t bear to waste another second in that place and couldn’t stand to exchange another word with him. It would only demean herself.

His cold voice sliced through the tension, “I would’ve agreed to help if anyone else coming to me today.. Unfortunately, it was you!

Her heart sank as she saw his disdainful look. And then he added three more words that cut deep.

“You’re not worthy.”

Stepping out of the hotel, Jocelyn looked up at the sky, feeling a numbness that eclipsed the pain. Over three years of her love, now she realized, had been misplaced.

Her love was unrequited.

She immediately called the principal, apologizing that she had done her best.

Walking down the street, her mind felt numb. Perhaps the pain was too deep or maybe she had seen through it all. So the pain just wasn’t there anymore

Jocelyn guessed that the principal must have spoken to the official.

She arrived at a country club not far from the hotel and saw the official waiting for her.

As soon as he saw her, he called out, “Jocelyn, is that how you dressed for the meeting with Mr. Martinez?”

She looked down at her attire, not seeing any problem.

“You’re too conservative, the official shook his head and said, “Anyway, come meet the benefactor.”

Jocelyn followed him through the opulent corridors and made a turn to face grand double doors.
