The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chatper 156

Chapter 156

Jocelyn called Harrison to let him know she was safe as she returned to her apartment.

“Is this Mr. Hayden? I’m Jocelyn,” she ventured.

“Uh, yeah, it’s me.” Yannick Hayden responded.

Without wondering why Yannick had answered Zephyr’s phone, she said, “Could you please come and take Melvin back? He’s lying outside my door.”
