The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 175

At noon, Melvin picked up Jocelyn for lunch before dropping her back off at school.

“What time do you get off work tonight?” he asked as she was getting out of the car.

Jocelyn pondered for a moment, “Probably around 6:30.”

“Okay.”

“I’m not up for craziness tonight,” she reminded him. “I have to proctor exams tomorrow.”

She had been dozing off in class all day today.

Melvin’s lips curled into a smug smile, “I’m just introducing you to some folks, then you can head home and hit the hay.”

Jocelyn frowned, “Who?”

“You’ll see,” he said, enjoying the suspense.

Knowing she was pressed for time and he was playing coy, Jocelyn let it go.

That night, when she finished her work, Jocelyn walked out of the school gates with Ursula.

Ursula spotted Melvin’s car and chuckled, “He’s been quite the show-off lately.”

Jocelyn grinned, “A bit, yeah.”

“I’m curious, what did you do to make him change his mind so suddenly?” Ursula teased, eyeing the modest ring on Jocelyn’s finger. “It might be small, but it’s the thought that counts.”

Jocelyn didn’t care about the size of the ring. Given the rush of that day, it was already more than enough.

“I honestly have no idea.”

“I bet it’s the pressure,” Ursula joked. “With a catch like Harrison chasing after you, he must be anxious.”

Whether it was Harrison or something else that spurred Melvin on, Jocelyn couldn’t tell. All she knew was that she was happy now.

There’s no greater joy than being with the one you love.

“Alright, I’m off. See you tomorrow,” Jocelyn said as she noticed Melvin getting out of the car and waved goodbye to Ursula.

“See you,” Ursula replied, waving to Melvin as well before heading to her own car.

Melvin wrapped his arm around Jocelyn’s waist, “What were you two gossiping about?”

“Nothing much. Just that you’ve been quite sensible lately.”
