The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game
Chapter 125
Chapter 125
Their eyes met briefly – just a few heartbeats of a moment – before Jocelyn quickly averted her gaze and spun on her heel to leave.
She was scared to face Melvin.
Truth be told, he was the one who should feel sorry. But the mere sight of him made her insides churn with unease. She couldn’t just brush it off and play it cool.
Jocelyn hurried back to the private party room, deliberately choosing the seat in the farthest corner as if to hide, as though she feared Melvin might come looking for her.
But then she scoffed at herself for being paranoid. How would Melvin know which private room she was in?
She shook her head at her own ridiculous thoughts. Maybe she was being a bit too self-involved.
She relaxed as the party around her surged with energy. A server pushed the door open, bearing a large platter of assorted snacks and a cooler full of beer and cocktails for the ladies.
The party-goers looked cunously at the birthday girl. “Did you order an extra grub?”
“I didn’t,” Hannah replied, equally puzzled.
The server clarified. These are from Mr. Martinez. Also, he’s taken care of your tab for the evening
Everyone instantly knew who it was. They all knew there was only one Mr. Martinez in their circle.

The crowd started buzzing about how much clout Hannah had, for Melvin to not only send a feast their way but also pick up the tab The guy was generous
Ursula nudged Jocelyn playfully, “Hey, you think this is all for you?”
Jocelyn forced a smile, though she wasn’t sure how convincing it looked. “No way. It’s not my birthday. And even if it were, he’s the last person who should be picking up my tab.”
“What’s his reason, then? Ursula probed. “Do rich guys just have too much money and not enough ways to spend it?”
Jocelyn didn’t have an answer. But it dawned on her that Melvin knew she was here.
She had assumed that Melvin had moved on from her life and that she could continue her relationship with Harrison without interference
Yet, seeing Melvin again unsettled her, as if all her carefully laid plans could come undone at any moment.
