- Chapter 157
- “With Mr. Grant and the directors in charge, it’s only right that he company has developed to such an extent. We have benefited a lot from it, Aurelia replied respectfully.
- As expected of an experienced professional.
- Joycelyn nodded in agreement. “That’s right.”
- She stood behind Aurelia. Seeing that no one was around and that Aurelia wouldn’t turn around to look at her, she immediately blinked at Ellison teasingly, looking vastly different from the obedient employee from before.
- It was as exciting as it could get!
- Ellison narrowed his eyes and nodded.
- Then, he walked past them.
- Joycelyn knew that he had to maintain his appearance, as the refined CEO in broad daylight, so he wouldn’t do anything to her.
- Just as she and Aurelia sent him off, Ellison suddenly turned around and called out to Joycelyn.
- half of
- He said, “Joycelyn, William has lost half of the minutes from the last business trip. Recover them. It’s urgent.”
- After saying that, he did not wait for Joycelyn to reply and walked straight to the CEO’s private lounge to prepare some coffee from Isolde.
- Joycelyn was caught off guard.
- “What does he mean?” She frowned and bit her lower lip angrily to express her dissatisfaction.
- He must have done it on purpose!
- Just because she made a funny face at him just now, he gave her extra work!
- Joycelyn was annoyed at herself for being so gullible. To think she teased Ellison, the man who would seek revenge for the smallest grievance.
- “It means that Mr. Grant thinks highly of you. Go quickly. I’ll go down and sort out the meeting records first. You go and sort out Mr. Grant’s minutes, Aurelia urged her.
- “Aurelia, I’m not from the assistant’s office. I don’t have that ability,” Joycelyn shook her head,
- Aurelia looked at her resistant expression and recalled that she had been aggrieved the few times she went to the CEO’s
- office.
- She thought that Joycelyn was afraid.
- So, she patted her arm and comforted her softly, “Mr. Grant is strict, but you’ve always been detail–orientated. I’m sure Mr. Grant won’t make things difficult for you. Don’t be afraid.”
- Joycelyn frowned. She still did not want to go.
- With her current rank, it was fine to go to the CEO’s office occasionally, but if she went often, it would more or less arouse the suspicion of her colleagues.
- She was just a nobody. If she often appeared around the CEO, sine gossipy people might slander her for wanting to climb the social ladder.
- Joycelyn sighed and pulled Aurelia away from the elevator,
- “Run along then. The faster you finish your work, the faster you can leave,” Aurelia coaxed gently.
- Joycelyn could only nod resentfully. She stood outside the elevator and watched Aurelia leave.
- The higher–ups had left, but there were seven to eight people in the assistant’s office. They were all busy at their desks.
- Joycelyn moved a few steps and waited for Ellison outside.
- After a while, he walked out with a coffee pot.
- He happened to
- see Joycelyn poking her head around.
- “Mr. Grant, it’s Monday. I have a lot of work to do. Can I go first Joycelyn’s voice was very gentle, and her eyes were pleading.
- Isolde was in the office, but she could just leave the matter of coaking the Isolde to Ellison. There was no need to drag her along.
- “No.” Ellison’s short reply immediately erased Joycelyn’s smile.
- Joycelyn pursed her lips and walked forward. She pretended to be considerate and reached out to take the coffee pot in his hand. She said, “Then I’ll send it to Grandma.”
- “It’s hot. I’ll carry it,‘ Ellison refused. He did not let her touch the coffee pot lest she was scalded,
- “Fine, do it yourself.” Joycelyn turned around and pressed the elevator button.
- Ellison grabbed her delicate neck.
- It was as if Joycelyn had been electrocuted. She jumped away in panic and looked around in fear.
- “No one’s around, but there are cameras! We have to maintain appearances!” She said quickly.
- Ellison glanced at her panicked face and smiled, “Come here.”
- His voice was low and domineering.
- Joycelyn was not sure if he was going to teach her a lesson or if he
- She bit her lower lip and followed him with a look of despair.
- “What did you say to Grandma?” She asked
- nted to do something.
- That I would respect my wife’s wishes… Ellison lowered his voice and tilted his head to say this to Joycelyn.
- At that moment, Williain passed by, taking some documents to the printing room. When he saw Ellison, he immediately
- stopped and nodded in greeting. “Mr. Grant.”
- E
- Seeing him. Joycelyn immediately stopped in her tracks and leaned back slightly to distance herself from Ellison.
- She acted as if she didn’t know Ellison well.
- Ellison nodded and walked straight to the CEO’s oflice without Hopping
- Joycelyn followed him in and closed the door.
- In the office, there were only Isolde and Luna.
- Joycelyn greeted them gently, “Grandma, Luna”
- “Come, Joycelyn, sit with Grandma.” Isolde waved at Joycelyn.
- Joycelyn did not hesitate and walked over. She asked, “Grandma, why are you here today? Does your head still hurt? How’s your knee?
- I’m fine. Kingston took good care of me. When I woke up that day, I was fine,” Isolde comforted her.
- Looking at Isolde’s rosy face, Joycelyn put away her worry.
- When she met the Mason siblings that day, she had found Kingston to be more upright than Leah.
- Kingston was infused with the polite temperament of someone from a noble family. As for Leah She was much more complicated.
- Fortunately, she had already left.
- “I just came over from a fortune teller who gave me an auspicious date. It’s right this month. We’ll hold a small wedding ceremony and invite some close friends to attend. If you want to hold a big one in the future, we’ll do it then,” Isolde said in a particularly kind tone.
- Joycelyn was quite flattered. She had thought that Isolde would not understand their wishes for a secret marriage, but unexpectedly, Isolde was very open–minded.
- “Thank you, Grandma. I want to design my own wedding and inite some of my good friends,” Joycelyn smiled.
- “Alright, you two don’t like to show your faces in public. You can do it however you like,” Isolde smiled and patted the back of Joycelyn’s hand.
- The unconditional love and pampering warmed Joycelyn’s heart
- “It’s good for young couples to be in the same company. If you’re tired, you can let romance heal you,” Saying this, Isolde covered her mouth and laughed
- She was still playful at heart.
- Ellison poured coffee for Isolde, completely immune to these words.
- Joycelyn pursed her lips in embarrassment and lowered her head
- *Do you
- want to have dimmer with me tonight?” Isolde asked Joycelyn.
- Tonight? I have a date with a friend, who’s rarely free. We’re going for a hotpot tonight. How about tomorrow?” Joycelyn knew that Lucy was often busy and it was not easy to meet her.
- Ellison looked over at her. Clearly, he was a little dissatisfied.
- “Alright, tomorrow is fine too. I have plenty of time. Let’s go choose a wedding blanket tomorrow and have a meal together,” Isolde said.
- “A wedding blanket?” Ellison and Joycelyn spoke in unison.
- The master bedroom was mainly of cold colors, modern and luxurious.
- If the bed was covered in a big red wedding blanket and Ellison lay on it….
- “Red is a must for weddings, Isolde said,
- She continued, “The wedding blanket isn’t the only thing that has to be red. We also have to get bright red clothes and shoes.
- Ellison closed his eyes speechlessly. He sighed, “Old–fashioned.
- His tone was merciless and sarcastic.
- Isolde shorted and glanced at him, “You’re already so old. What are you saying?
- Ellison was at a loss for words.
- Joycelyn sat at the side and silently picked up the coffee that Ellison had placed in front of her and took a sip.
- She imagined the cold and handsome Ellison covered in red and lying on a big red wedding blanket.
- Ha!
- That scene was definitely rare.
- “I think Grandma is right. Marriage should be more festive. I’ll go with Grandma tomorrow and choose for you,” Joycelyn perked up, not letting go of the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
- Ellison glanced at joycelyn, who was watching the fun.
- Then, he smirked and snorted, “Just you wait.”
- Joycelyn looked at his meaningful smile and alarm bells blared in her heart.
- She had not fulfilled his last birthday wish yet.
- She had also almost forgotten about the black lace lingerie hidden in her cabinet
- She groaned in her heart.
