The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 123

Jocelyn declined Yasmine’s invitation to go out for lunch, but Yasmine was insistent

“If you’re not coming, then I’ll join you for a meal at your cafeteria,” Yasmine made it clear she wanted to have a meal with her.

Wary of drawing attention and questions from others, Jocelyn finally gave in reluctantly.

It had to be said, Melvin and Yasmine really were siblings. Their talent for wearing others down was the same.

Yasmine casually draped her arm around Jocelyn’s, “Let me help”

“No need, I’m fine,” Jocelyn felt weird about it. She wasn’t that close to Yasmine.

She tried to withdraw her hand, but Yasmine wouldn’t let her, “I don’t have many friends here, and when Preston told me about you, I just knew we could be friends. So please, don’t reject me, okay?”

Her sincerity was overwhelming, making it seem like a fault to refuse her.

Jocelyn could only offer an awkward smile and go along with it.

Considering Jocelyn’s leg injury hadn’t fully healed, even though the restaurant they were planning to eat at wasn’t far, Yasmine still decided to drive.

The car belonged to Melvin, a sleek silver Porsche.

Jocelyn’s feelings were mixed as she sat in it

In just a few minutes, they arrived at the restaurant. It wasn’t large but was clean and well-reviewed. Jocelyn had been here before with colleagues.

Yasmine helped her into the restaurant and chose a spot near the entrance to sit down.

At this point, Jocelyn started to warm up to Yasmine a bit Yasmine didn’t scorn the small diner despite wearing designer clothes, sitting on an old wooden bench and even pouring herself a cup of water.

She wasn’t like Melvin.

Melvin was the type to avoid small diners, always favoring upscale restaurants. He would look down on street food vendors as if they were unworthy of his patronage.

The restaurant owner recognized Jocelyn and, noticing the bandage on her chin, offered to make her dish with less oil and spice.
