- Chapter 123
- Joycelyn kept checking her lips and clothes in the elevator mirror to make sure nothing was messed up
- Fortunately, in these ten minutes, there were no traces left behind, except for a bit of redness on her lips.
- Her lips were red and swollen. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was swollen from the kiss
- Joycelyn’s fair face puffed up with frustration. She bit her lower lip, pretending to be scared of being scolded.
- The elevator opened, and Joycelyn walked to her desk with her head down, holding some documents.
- Aurelia, not having finished packing up, walked out and saw Joycelyn looking down, lost in thought Joycelyn, are you okay? Did Mr. Grant scold you?” she asked, putting down her things with concern.
- Tm fine,” Joycelyn replied, sitting down and putting the documents away.
- Aurelia, Selene, and another colleague, Melly gathered around, noticing the clear bite marks on her red lips.
- “Did Mr. Grant really scold you?” Selene moved closer to take a look with a worried expression.
- look
- People said Mr. Grant was cold and ruthless, often reprimanding high–level leaders. Joycelyn’s unha suggested she had been scolded.
- Joycelyn sighed, her clear eyes showing a bit of sadness. “I was a little slow getting up there, so Mr. Grant got an
- “You were already fast! Mr. Grant was really unfair!” Selene muttered softly.
- Seeing
- ing that the situation had eased, Joycelyn stopped pretending to be sad. “It’s okay, maybe Mr. Grant isn’t in a good mood today.”
- “Maybe his blind date didn’t go well; after all, he left in the middle of the meal. Selene frowned and analyzed with a deep expression.
- Aurelia and Melly exchanged looks, agreeing.
- Joycelyn quickly pressed her lips together, not daring to speak. She pulled over some documents and pretended to read. As she bowed her head, her hair fell forward, revealing a red mark on the back of her neck.
- “Joycelyn, what’s this red mark?” Selene, ever the sharp–eyed woman, immediately noticed. She immediately lifted Joycelyn’s hair to reveal the kiss mark behind her ear.
- On her fair skin, the vivid red mark stood out.
- Joycelyn felt her head explode with embarrassment and quickly brushed her hair back down.
- “I just scratched myself. My skin is thin and turns red easily.” Joycelyn said, her usually calm and fair face showing rare
- nervousness.
- Ellison had sucked a bit too hard earlier, and while she checked her neck, she forgot about behind her ear
- Joycelyn’s face turned red, making it obvious.
- Aurelia, Selene, and Melly exchanged knowing looks.
- After seeing it, they all smiled mischievously,
- Joycelyn felt her heart pounding and her throat tightened. “You guys go rest. I need to review these documents.”
- Joycelyn, you didn’t… with…?” Selene hinted.
- Joycelyn sat up straight, her clear eyes serious. “No. Don’t think too much!”
- Even though it was true, Joycelyn couldn’t admit it.
- It was all Ellison’s fault. He knew her skin was sensitive and easily marked, yet he kissed it so hard..
- Joycelyn felt both annoyed and anxious.
- 71%
- Selene and the others must have noticed. Joycelyn didn’t know what she should do now. She feared their relationship might be exposed, thrusting her into the spotlight.
- “I didn’t say anything. Why are you so nervous?” Selene lightly patted Joycelyn’s shoulder.
- “But that mark on the back of your neck is so fresh. It must have been from this morning, and from behind,” Selene said, sounding very cheeky
- As soon as she finished speaking. Aurelia and Melly covered their mouths, laughing quietly.
- “Keep your voice down! It’s embarrassing,” Melly, the younger colleague said, blushing.
- Joycelyn, annoyed, pinched Selene’s arm. “You rogue!”
- Selene winced in pain. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”
- She jumped and ran away. When she got back to her seat, she stuck out her tongue and said, “I’ll do it again next time.
- “I’ll hit you more!” Joycelyn threatened, raising her small fist.
- “You were so nervous just now. Did you think I was going to mention Mr. Grant? You were only up there for a short time; you couldn’t have done much. Mr. Grant, with his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, looks like he could go for at least an hour,” Selene teased.
- “You’re so embarrassing!” Joycelyn said, covering her ears, not wanting to listen.
- She had heard too much of this kind of talk and was influenced by it, which led her to be so bold with Ellison.
- “Selene, you’re too much! If Mr. Grant hears you, none of us can save you,” Melly whispered.
- Selene flipped her hair, looking cool and defiant. “No way, Mr. Grant is too high up to hear me gossiping. But aren’t you curious who the woman is that could get Mr. Grant to wear a wedding ring?”
- Selene’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Melly and Joycelyn.
- Melly looked puzzled and curious.
- However, Joycelyn did not dare to look at her sharp eyes.
- “Why don’t you guess? Aren’t you the smart one?” Joycelyn deflected the question back to Selene.
- “Oh, I haven’t heard anything other than that Miss Wilson has been infatuated with Mr. Grant for seven years. What kind of goddess could make Mr. Grant fall in love?” Selene said, rubbing her chin thoughtfully, lost in deep thought.
- “Don’t forget, gossiping is not allowed within the company.” Joycelyn tried to stop her.
- However, Selene was not afraid of trouble at all. “On the surface, no one in the company is gossiping, but in private, they are crazy with curiosity. Everyone is guessing and analyzing. Guess whatt”
- Listening to Selene’s serious tone, Joycelyn took a big sip of water.
- Only then did the dryness in her throat subside.
- “What? Did you hear something?” Aurelia asked calmly.
- With that question, Selene immediately became excited again
- “There are lots of rumors! Some say he secretly married a socialite, others say Mr. Grant is so busy that he either keeps a mistress at home or abroad, ready to come and go at his command.”
- “When Mr. Grant is busy, he stays at the company. Why don’t you suggest he has someone here?” Aurelia teased. Joycelyn’s anxiety spiked again upon hearing that casual remark. Her nerves were on edge, making it hard to focus Her eyes scanned the documents, but she couldn’t focus on a single word.
- It seemed everyone was more gossipy than she had imagined.
- “Hey, don’t you know? Some people think Mr. Grant is having an office affair. He spends most of his time at the company, and at his age, he has needs. There’s definitely someone here,” Selene said with a sly smile, her tone confident.
- Joycelyn held her breath, feeling like she was being watched all the time.
- Just as she was worrying, Selene suddenly called out to her mischievously. “Joycelyn…”
- Joycelyn jolted, instinctively trying to find an excuse. “N–no, it wasn’t me.”
- She shook her head vigorously, looking more like a startled young girl than her usual composed self, with all her thoughts written on her face.
