Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 207 Which floor are you on ? Ill come check on you , Joycelyn asked , concerned that it might be difficult for Lucy on her first day at the Grant Group .

She wanted to make sure her friend was settling in okay .

Lucy thought back to the cold reception shed received from her department colleagues that morning and , not wanting to worry Joycelyn , refused .

Im fine .

Im not a newbie .

I can handle it , Lucy responded confidently , her tone light .

Hearing Lucys calm and assured voice , Joycelyn couldnt help but smile and feel reassured .

If anything happens , tell me .

If anyone dares to mess with you , Ill make them regret it , Joycelyn whispered , pretending to crack her knuckles .

I can take on four hands with my two fists , and my mouth can curse for miles .

Anyone who dares to mess with me will regret it , Lucy said with a queenly swagger , flashing a proud look at Joycelyn .

Alright , alright , Im not saying anything about other places , but in the Grant Group , youre good to go .

Joycelyn responded , impressed by Lucys growing confidence .

Alright then , youre getting more and more relaxed , I see .

Show them what youve got ! Lucy winked at Joycelyn before turning serious and asking , So when are you and Mr.

Grant going public ? Can you find any photos of him online ? Joycelyn mischievously asked Lucy , raising an eyebrow .

Lucy immediately pulled out her phone , typing in Ellisons name .

She found no clear front facing pictures , just one blurry photo of him from behind .

Searching CEO of the Grant Group brought up a bunch of handsome faces , but none of them were Ellison .

No photos , but Im sure people in the high society circles have seen him , Lucy said , slightly disappointed .

Thats actually better .

Hes a private person , and I dont like being too public either .

The best thing is just to live in the moment .

Plus , I get to enjoy all kinds of gossip about him at work , Joycelyn said with a carefree laugh , not feeling particularly insecure about keeping things private .

Are you afraid … ? Lucy started to ask , but then swallowed the words and said , This is actually great .

Who would guess that an ordinary office worker is actually the famous Mrs.

Grant ? The contrast is thrilling and exciting .

Are you asking if Im afraid of being abandoned by him ? Joycelyn saw right through Lucys thoughts .

Ever since she first learned about their relationship , shed been holding onto this question .

Lucy didnt respond , but the concern in her eyes was undeniable .

I was scared at first , especially with the difference in our social standings .

I thought it might end badly .

But not anymore , Joycelyn admitted , her voice softening .

A good relationship needs security .

If you keep avoiding it , both sides start to feel insecure .

Ive decided to just let time tell us the answer .

As they walked into the building together , the topic was dropped , especially with more colleagues around .

Lucys office was on the 23rd floor , so she exited the elevator first .

Joycelyn stayed behind , not pressing the button for her floor .

She waited until the other people got off , then pressed the button for the top floor the CEOs office .

Since no one was really around her office , she figured shed take a little break in Ellisons office .

1/3 06:53 Thu , 6 Mar Chapter 207 She knocked lightly on the CFOs office door A bespectacled assistant quickly came out and informed her , Mr.

Grant is on his break .

If its urgent , come back in the afternoon , or you can tell me what you need Just moments ago , Joycelyn had been confidently talking , but now the was caught a bit off guard .

73 % Luckily , William , Ellisons right hand man , came rushing over , overbearing the conversation .

He blurted out .

From now on .

if Mrs.

Grant comes by but quickly corrected himself , … I mean , if joycelyn comes by to see Mr.

Grant , dont stop her .

If Mr.

Grants not in , let her in and have her wait The assistant , usually meticulous , had already made two mistakes when it came to Joycelyn .

Got it , the assistant said , stepping aside to open the door to the office .

Mr.

Grant just went to the restroom .

Please wait a moment Thanks , Joycelyn said politely , walking into the office .

After the door closed behind her , the assistant scratched his head and walked up to William .

William , no outsiders are allowed in the CEOs office .

So who is this woman ? William shot him a disdainful look .

Outsiders ? I thought you said she was an insider ? The assistants confusion didnt seem to clear up .

William rolled his eyes and walked back to his office .

Oh … the insider , the assistant muttered , suddenly realizing .

So , shes insider in a different way ….

William , thinking hed gotten through to him , stopped in his tracks and turned around , glaring at the assistant .

Come here The assistant thought he had nailed it , but as he got closer , he was met with a sharp slap to the back of his head .

Use your brain ! Have you ever seen a female close to Mr.

Grant ? Then who is she ? The assistant , still confused , rubbed the back of his head .

Mr.

Grant is married now , and this woman is probably trying to climb the ladder by getting close to him , the assistants handsome face suddenly turned serious .

William sighed deeply , giving up on trying to explain .

Go clean the toilets tomorrow .

For the whole week .

The assistants supposed brilliance was , apparently , beyond saving .

Inside the office , Joycelyn didnt close the door completely and could hear Williams grumbling through the door .

She couldnt hold back her laughter .

When Ellison walked in , he saw her smiling , and without a word , he shut the door behind him , giving her a serious look .

Whats so funny ? I just heard William calling me an insider it was pretty funny , Joycelyn giggled , then walked over to him like a little koala , wrapping her arms around him .

How ? Did they not let you in ? Ellison asked , his voice low as he looked at her .

Next time , Ill have William set you up with fingerprint access and elevator privileges .

Thanks , Mr.

Grant , Joycelyn teased , rising onto her tiptoes and planting a playful kiss on his chin .

Ellisons smile was warm and affectionate as he looked down at her .

My grandmother called .

She remembered theres a gala tonight .

Would you like to go with her ? 2/3 Chapter 207 Is it one of those fancy high society galas ? Joycelyn asked , a little skeptical .

Yep , but if you dont want to , I can have Benny Bull go instead , Ellison said with a playful smirk .

Lets go .

Ill go with Grandma , Joycelyn said , leaning against his chest and looking up at him with her bright , clear eyes .

Ellisons eyes sparkled with affection .

He kissed her forehead gently and said , Then well trouble Mrs.

Grant tonight .
