hapter 67 Chapter 67 Ellison said : [ Try talking back to me when youre in front of me , see what happens .

) The words made Joycelyns hand tremble as she held her phone .

Her heart skipped a heat and suddenly raced .

Joycelyn couldnt quite tell if she was imagining things , but those words felt a little too smooth .

It gave her the strange feeling that she was actually in a romance .

Joycelyn hesitated for a while , typing and deleting , her fingers hovering over the keys .

Several lines of text appeared on the screen , only to be erased immediately .

After what seemed like forever , she finally sent a cute emoji of a person massaging someones shoulders , then immediately put the phone down .

She needed to focus on her work this emotional rollercoaster was driving her crazy , Ellison , seeing how long it took her to respond with just an emoji , couldnt help but curl his lips into a deep , steady smile .

He leaned back in his chair , his eyes half closed as he stared at the phone screen in his hand .

William knocked and entered the office , only to see his usually composed , serious boss grinning indulgently .

William was about to report on work but immediately halted , making a quick turn to avoid interrupting his bosss romantic mood .

Ellison saw Williams shadow and straightened up , his smile disappearing as he put his phone down by his side.

Whats the matter ? Ellison asked .

William turned around and , with a serious tone , reported , Mr.

Grant , yesterdays press conference was a success .

Many domestic companies are now preparing to reach strategic partnerships with us .

However , the lead designer , Ms.

Wilson , hasnt shown her stance yet .

Several executives are hosting a banquet at the hotel today to discuss further .

Should you attend ? Ellison continued staring at his phone , clearly not paying attention to Williams words .

Mr.

Grant , Ms.

Wilson is the only designer to have overcome the challenges in chip intelligence .

Her future is limitless .

If we can establish a long term partnership with Ms.

Wilson , the Grant Group will dominate the domestic chip intelligence market , and Mr.

Grants own value will soar even higher , William continued , hoping to catch his attention .

Ellison , still not looking up , responded indifferently , If you have something to say , just say it .

William hesitated for a moment and then said , Mr.

Grant , public and private matters must be kept separate .

I believe its best for you to attend the banquet for the greater good .

After all , Ms.

Wilson mentioned in her interview that she wants to work alongside you , to be your best partner .

Ellison slowly crossed his legs , his expression turning cold as he responded flatly , So you think shes exceptional , and I should just let her lead me around by the nose ? Is that what youre suggesting ? Or is sacrificing a little charm expected from me too ? Hmm ? The sharpness of his words shattered the soft mood from before , and the commanding aura he exuded was unmistakable .

While they were eating the overheard some juicy gossip Did you heary M & Wisons achievements in thip development are groudkreaking They may audewaiting Tur Mr.

Grants value is expected t skyrocket , Selene said , barely pausing to take a bite of her food Her dramatic delivery even caught the attention of people at nearby tables , and soon , everyone joined the gossip .

Joycelyn quietly listened , her face blank , but her expression clearly amused .

She enjoyed eavesdropping but wasnt about to jump into the conversation .

Really ? Has Mr.

Grant made a statement ? I mean , theyre wearing the same ring , so he must have expressed something .

right ? Aurelia asked , surprised .

Of course , its only a matter of time .

Its the kind of love that peaks when they finally meet .

I heard Ma .

Wilson changed her major in college because she knew Mr.

Grant was into science .

After graduating , she focused on this field and spent ten years working on it .

Shes amazing a female colleague said with admiration .

If Joycelyn hadnt discovered Rubys behind the scenes manipulations , she might have found the story sweet .

But now , all she felt was disgust for Rubys hypocrisy .

But that was her secret one she couldnt tell anyone , because no one would believe her .

Just as she was finishing her lunch and listening to more gossip , her phone buzzed with several messages from a high school friend .

Her former class advisor was celebrating his 60th birthday , and the class was planning a reunion .

The group chat , which Joycelyn hadnt checked in a while , was full of messages .

Her friend had even sent screenshots .

Everyone stop gossiping about Mr.

Grant and Ms.

Wilson .

Our director said not to discuss them at work , or there will be consequences .

Why ? Is there something we havent heard about ? Selene asked , eyes wide with excitement .

Well , Ms.

Wilson is trying to control Mr.

Grant , but it seems Mr.

Grant isnt interested in a long term partnership with her .

The big clients are starting to get restless .

Joycelyn immediately stopped eating and listened intently , her eyes narrowing .

She glanced at the colleague who had spoken her name tag identified her as the assistant to the project manager .

This made Joycelyn believe the gossip had some truth to it .

Grants here ? Joycelyn instinctively looked up and saw Ellison standing at the door of the cafeteria , looking dashing in a sharp suit as if he had descended from the heavens .

Joycelyn thought , What was he here for ? To catch me ? Joycelyn couldnt help but lower her head , hoping to hide her face in her bowl .

Ellison , however , had already spotted her .

His eyes narrowed as he focused on her hunched over figure , the tension between them unmistakable .
