Chapter 118

Hamson blocked Jocelyn’s view as he stood at the door. When he remained silent, she inquired, “Delivery guy?”

Nope” Harrison’s tone was even as he spoke to the person outside, “Wanna come in for a bit?”

Melvin never expected that overnight, there would be another man in the picture.

Jocelyn had been curious about whom Hamson was talking to, but her brain short-circuited when she saw Melvin walk in.

Melvin cracked a smile, “Don’t trouble yourself. I’ll help myself. I know this place better than you.”

Jocelyn wished the earth would swallow her whole. She never expected such a chaotic situation.
