- Chapter 153
- It was Monday the next day. Having taken the previous week off Joycelyn returned to the office early in the morning.
- She brought a lot of chocolates which she placed on her colleagues tables as soon as she arrived. She also kept some for Aurelia
- Of course, these were bought by William on Ellison’s instruction
- They were moderately priced, all within Joycelyn’s abilities.
- Before leaving for the office, Ellison made a point to get Joycelyn to corroborate his story that a project had been finalized.
- He even showed her a project proposal, which Joycelyn went through in detail on the way to work.
- She memorized its general details.
- As soon as she arrived at her desk, Joycelyn sent a message to Lucy to ask her how she was.
- She had stayed there for three days and returned on the fourth day.
- Lucy replied within seconds: “The project has been finalized. Transferred to the headquarters now. We can meet more often in the future! Hahaha!”
- Seeing this message, Joycelyn was ecstatic. She replied: “Yay!”
- Lucy sent: “Til treat you to a feast tonight.”
- Joycelyn sent a high–five emoji and replied: “OKI
- After they finished chatting, Joycelyn pulled out the wedding photos they had taken previously to admire them.
- She had just clicked on a photo when Selene’s loud voice sounded.
- She laughed, “Wow! My dear Joycelyn, you’re back!”
- Joycelyn hurriedly locked her phone.
- “Morning. Selene,” Joycelyn looked at Selene and greeted her. She continued, “I bought chocolates. They’re quite delicious. I gave you two boxes and the third one is for your boyfriend. You can eat them all though.”
- The last time Joycelyn got into a car accident, Selene’s boyfriend had helped.
- As such, Joycelyn gave her an extra box of chocolate.
- “Alright, let
- thank me
- vou on behalf of him. Ill save a piece for him.” Selene laughed. She immediately went forward and eagerly opened a box of chocolates
- It was almost time for work, and the others in the office had all arrived.
- They chatted about some interesting things on this Monday morning, Joycelyn listened in on the company’s matters for the
- week.
- Until Selene said, “So, did the overseas higher–ups see the true appearance of the CEO’s wife?”
- Joycelyn, who had been chewing on a chocolate, paused when she heard this.
- It was as if she had been frozen in place. Her clear eyes scanned all her colleagues‘ faces.
- This was not a week ago, but it seemed that the matter was ultimately known to them.
- There was an unspoken rule in the office. Something unimportant would usually lose its value as gossip in two days
- Joycelyn asked softly, “Did someone see the CEO’s wife?”
- When she asked this, Selene immediately grabbed her and asked “Hey, you went on a business trip with Mr. Grant. Didn’t you see his wife?”
- Joycelyn could hear her nervous self swallowing hard.
- for!
- As soon Selene as said that, everyone’s gaze fell on Joycelyn’s fair and beautiful face, waiting for her answer.
- Of course, Joycelyn shook her head and said, “I was with a classmate I knew that day. She happened to be on a business trip there too. I know nothing about Mr. Grant’s private matters.
- Even with Joycelyn’s explanation, her colleagues did not retract their gazes.
- Selene did not think much of it at all. Instead, she said. “The daughter of that pharmaceutical family was also at the airport. Someone took a photo. I saw Joycelyn in the same frame as a tall woman. Stop staring at her like that. She’s not interested in others business.”
- Selene took out her phone and clicked on a photo.
- There were indeed photos of them at the airport.
- Joycelyn was with Lucy. Some distance ahead of them, Ellison was with Isolde and Leah.
- Aurelia spoke up at this moment, “If Selene was the one who went, we would surely be able to find out. However, Joycely
- has never been a gossipy person. Stop gathering around her. Mr. Grant is going to have a meeting later Joycelyn, you should go and listen too.”
- Aurelia intended to promote Joycelyn, so she had her go to the meeting as well.
- “Do I have to go too? I’m just a team leader…” Joycelyn was not afraid of a meeting, but she was afraid of having a meeting with Ellison.
- She was worried about exposing herself.
- She felt that the entire company was curious about the true identity of the CEO’s wife.
- Even though the old saying had it that the most dangerous places were actually the safest, she would be finished once the slightest truth was explosed.
- “I’ll pass. I just came back and have a lot of things to deal with. The meetings with the higher–ups are usually pointless anyway,” Joycelyn tried to refuse
- “Oh, that’s right. You have dark circles under your eyes. Did you not sleep well yesterday? Or…” Selene leaned closer to take a look. There were indeed some dark circles under Joycelyn’s clear and bright eyes.
- “Or is it because you’ve had too good a time with your partner?” After saying that, Selene immediately retracted her head to
- void a heating
- Joycelyn clenched her fists and wanted to punch her.
- Selene spun her chair and slipped away.
- All that was left was the ambiguity of her words.
- Joycelyn opened her mouth, but she could not say anything to refute it.
- Last night, new knowledge had been forcefully instilled into her mind. In the end, she could not sleep.
- She did not dare to disturb Ellison and counted sheep until the latter half of the night.
- 19.80%
- Selene burst into laughter. “Joycelyn, although you’re pretty, you’re so bad at hiding anything. Your expression tells us everything
- Joycelyn touched her face.
- She looked at Selene resentfully and was once again at a loss for words to refute her.
- She could be calm and composed, but she was not good at lying at all.
- out of
- “You brat, you only know how to tease Joycelyn, Aurelia stepped forward and gave Selene a firm pat to help Joycelyn out of the predicament.
- Joycelyn attempted to distract herself by picking up her phone and unlocking it.
- As soon as she entered the password, the wedding photo showed
- Joycelyn was embarrassed, to begin with. With this, she was so caught off guard that her entire body shook,
- Aurelia passed by and took a glance. She immediately stopped in her tracks and leaned forward. She asked, “Have you taken your wedding photos? Let me take a look?”
