The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 103

“No.” Jocelyn knew that her heart had fluttered sure, but the fear of history repeating itself was stronger.

What did it matter if he liked her? His kind of liking was the sort that only extended as far as the bedroom, and even if he did like her as a person, it was the kind that could not stand the light of day

If they could not even be open and honest, the most basic of relationship fundamentals, what good was liking someone?

Yasmine had not expected Jocelyn to be so resolute, but she could tell that Melvin had let her down one too many times.

“I’m not going to force you.” Yasmine said gently. If you have truly found happiness, I wish you all the best.”

“Thanks” Jocelyn had a soft spot for Yasmine, who seemed more level-headed than Melvin.

Maybe it was because they were both women, they understood each other’s thoughts better.

Yasmine smiled slightly. “I even had Preston bring you a present during the holidays, but he said you refused. It seems that you had already considered breaking up with Melvin by then.”

Jocelyn was taken aback before replying. “It was just too valuable.”

“When it comes to giving gifts to someone deserving, I never care about the price, only if the person matches the gift’s worth,” Yasmine said with a tender look “It’s a pity, Melvin just wasn’t lucky enough to keep you”

Jocelyn could only offer an awkward smile in return.

“Are you heading back to the hotel now? Let me give you a lift”

“No need, I’m staying quite close by. Jocelyn pointed ahead. “I’ll just walk.”

Yasmine did not press her, “Alright then… Goodbye”

“Yep, bye”

As Yasmine drove off, Jocelyn waved farewell, her smile fading as the car disappeared into the distance.

She returned to the hospital to find Melvin standing by the window, his belongings packed.

He turned at the sound of her approach, and on seeing that she was alone, his lips tightened, his mood clearly souring.

“Disappointed?” Yasmine eyed him critically I told you to keep your distance from that woman, but you wouldn’t listen. And now, look what’s happened, you’ve pushed Jocelyn into another man’s arms

Melvin’s brow furrowed “You went to see her?”

“Don’t play dumb, Yasmine huffed. “I asked her. She’s not going to be with you again. Just give up already.”
