Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 100 Chapter 100 Joycelyn carried Lindas handbag and followed them .

The venue of this international exchange center was large and grand .

At a glance , the place was filled with elites from various industries , all dressed in suits and looking polished and glamorous .

People from different countries and with different skin tones all had translators with them .

Confidence and ambition were written all over their faces .

This was the first time Joycelyn had come to such a large international venue .

She followed Ellison and watched him pass through the crowd and walk on the red carpet .

The people on both sides would take the initiative to greet him in Ratanian .

Ellison kept a cool expression , nodding in acknowledgment .

On the other hand , Joycelyn looked like a lackey who followed him to witness a grand event .

This guy is even more charming when he is in a grand setting , she thought .

With that back , broad shoulders , a narrow waist , as well as a sleek and toned back that was tall and straight , he was irresistibly handsome no matter from which angle one looked at him .

It would not be an exaggeration to describe him as noble and otherworldly .

Joycelyn followed without looking away .

She even forgot about the bickering in the morning .

The advantages of having a handsome man as a partner were completely highlighted .

Linda turned around and instructed Joycelyn , Joycelyn , go over there and bring me a cup of coffee .

I want to perk myself up .

Bring it to our companys lounge later .

Joycelyn immediately retracted her gaze and looked in the direction Linda pointed .

Oh , okay .

Joycelyn handed the handbag in her hand to Linda and went to get the coffee .

She also grabbed a cup for Ellison and William while she was at i As the CEOs wife , Joycelyn was pretty used to the job of being a sidekick .

After returning to the lounge , Joycelyn handed the coffee to Ellison and said , Mr.

Grant , your coffee .

Ellison glanced at her , took the coffee , and placed it beside him .

William immediately took the coffee that was handed to him and said in a particularly flattered tone , Thank you so much On the other hand , Linda took it calmly and took two sips .

Then she lifted her watch , glanced at it , and said .

Mr.

Grant , it will start in five minuto Seated in the main chair , Ellison asked in a serious voice , Hows your preparation going ? Linda said confidently , Mr.

Grant , I will definitely live up to your expectations .

Mm .

Ellison nodded , his blue eyes casually sweeping across Jocelyn , who was standing behind Linda 11:59 Fri , Feb 14 B ter 100 His deep gaze landed on Joycelyns face .

Without blinking , his eyes exuded a powerful presence .

Joycelyn pretended not to notice , zoning out as she kept scanning the surroundings .

She could not quite figure out why Ellison had chosen to let Linda go on stage to give a speech when he had brought so many people .

Linda brought me here to crush me with her abilities , and she would then make Ellison change his mind and take her on the business trip instead ? she thought .

Lets go , Ellison said as he stood up and walked past his sidekick Joycelyn .

He gave her a deep glance .

Joycelyns heart raced for no apparent reason .

She remained strong and calm , pretending to be immune to his handsome and mature manly charm .

Joycelyn , come with me , Linda said , carrying her handbag and gesturing for Joycelyn to follow her to the waiting area .

Joycelyn followed Linda .

Just as they reached the waiting area , Linda suddenly bent over and covered her throat .

She was in extreme pain .

It happened so suddenly that Joycelyn was caught off guard .

Linda , whats wrong with you ? Joycelyn said .

Looking at Linda , who was slowly collapsing to the ground , she quickly went forward to support her .

Joycelyn , what did you put in my coffee ? Linda said .

My throat Her voice had a kind of hysterical hoarseness , and some rashes had started to appear on her face .

Joycelyn was stunned , completely not expecting Linda to question her like this .

She immediately calmed down and explained , That coffee was provided by the event organizer .

I didnt tamper with it .

If you dont believe me , you can call the police and check the surveillance footage .

Linda was stunned and stared at Joycelyn intently Joycelyns face remained calm , not compromising in the slightes after getting hurled mud at by Linda .

There were more and more onlookers .

Everyone could tell that something was off with Linda .

Is she having an allergic reaction ? It looks like allergy symptoms Maam , are you allergic ? I have allergy medication here .

Youll get better right away after taking it .

A staff member went forward , offering his medication and asking Linda if she needed help .

Linda saw the anti allergy medication and naturally wouldnt take it .

If I take it and feel better right away , my plan will be ruined , she thought .

The coffee handed over by Joycelyn was indeed fine .

It was Lind herself who had secretly eaten dried mangoes , which she was allergic to .

She was allergic to mangoes and had never eaten them since childhood If it werent for her plan to drag Joycelyn into trouble , she wouldnt have taken such a huge risk .

Linda shook lier head weakly and said , I dont know either .

I jus drank coffee .

Im not allergic to collee .

Joycelyn was about to suggest calling an ambulance , but Linda grabbed her hand and said , Lets forget about whether or not 11:59 Fri , Feb 14 BB Chapter 100 its you who wants to harm me .

After all , your Mersian is pretty good .

Just think of it as a training .

Ive prepared the speech manuscript .

Just take it out of my bag .

Our department is in charge of this project .

No one knows it better than we do .

Linda spoke to Joycelyn in a very hoarse voice .

Joycelyn frowned , looking at Linda , while also hearing the emcee begin introducing Grant Groups background .

She was effectively being put on the hot seat with no other choice but to go along .

Alright ! Joycelyn threw caution to the wind and went for it , taking the speech manuscript from Lindas tote bag .

Just then , another staff member came to urge the speaker from Grant Group to go on stage , and Linda pointed at the hesitant Joycelyn .

Young lady , hurry up ! the staff member said as he went forward to support Joycelyn and push her toward the podium .

As soon as she stepped out , thunderous applause erupted from the audience .

Hundreds of pairs of eyes were focused solely on her .

Joycelyn had never spoken to so many people before .

She immediately felt her limbs go weak .

Just as she bit the bullet and opened the speech manuscript to begin introducing herself , she noticed that every page of the script was blank .

Joycelyns mind went blank , and she was stunned , her clear eyes widening in disbelief .

Joycelyn then turned to look in the direction of Linda and noticed that she had completely changed from her earlier weakness .

She was looking at her coldly and smugly .

Ive been set up , Joycelyn thought .

This project is crucial for Grant Groups development internationally .

If I mess this up , the companys reputation will be ruined .

Linda is trying to screw me up big time .
