Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 91 Just as Joycelyn was still immersed in shame and unable to pull herself together , Linda opened the door of the directors office , quickly walked out , and ordered , Everyone , come to the conference room for a meeting .

Joycelyn immediately composed herself , took a sip of water , and stood up with her notebook in hand .

She then walked into the conference room with her colleagues .

In the meeting , Linda sat at the head of the table and went straight to the point .

She said , Our subsidiarys new project with Ms.

Wilson has been launched and has achieved great results .

The event held previously was also planned and handled by our department .

Everyone performed exceptionally well , so the company has decided to let our planning department take part in the later stages of promotion and arrangements .

This is the companys most promising project in the future , so make sure to cherish this opportunity .

After Linda finished speaking , Aurelia was quite surprised .

When was this notice issued ? she said .

Why didnt I receive it on my end ? This kind of notice is important , Linda said .

Youve just been promoted to director , so its normal that you havent been informed .

It just so happens that youre leading the team this time .

Let everyone understand the development and expansion of this project .

Linda completely disregarded Aurelia , who held a position of equal rank with her .

With that said , she opened her laptop and pulled up the PowerPoint presentation .

Theres a meeting in the afternoon .

The project leader .

Mr.

Johnson , and the head of design will attend .

et me give everyone a brief overview of the core aspects of the project first .

Joycelyn looked up at the image on the screen .

With the rapid development of new energy sources in the country , the chip sector was tightly controlled by foreign companies .

The progress made by Rubys studio in research and development had indeed shocked the entire industry .

Although it was only a small improvement , it was already far ahead in the country .

What Joycelyn could not understand was that despite Ruby being disfigured , Ellison did not treat her differently .

However , she was still willing to work with Grant Group for the long term This woman is really strong on the inside , Joycelyn thought .

Linda , has Ms.

Wilson signed the collaboration contract ? Joycelyn could not help but ask .

Linda shot Joycelyn an annoyed glance .

Isnt that a dumb question ? If the collaboration isnt finalized , whats the point of us planning ? Joycelyn was criticized , so she pursed her lips , saying nothing else .

Selene was also curious and couldnt help but ask , Wasnt Ms.

Wilson at odds with Mr.

Grant before ? How come … Grant Group is at the top of the business world , so choosing us is clearly the most beneficial for development , Linda said .

Businesspeople prioritize profit , not personal feelings .

You think Mr.

Grant and Ms.

Wilson have no skills and cant pull things off , huh ? If everyone thought like you , the company would have gone under a long time ago .

Lindas tone was full of criticism .

57 Fri , Feb 14 Chapter 91 n Selene immediately rolled her eyes upon getting scolded .

Joycelyn patted her hand , signaling her not to take it to heart .

After all , Lindas words made sense .

In the face of benefits , all relationships were insignificant .

Joycelyn did not expect this collaboration to come so unexpectedly .

After thinking about it carefully, she thought , Ruby probably wouldnt attend .

Shes still receiving treatment for her face at the hospital .

After lunch , they rested for an hour .

Team One , of which Joycelyn was a part , set off to the subsidiary for a meeting .

The person receiving them was Peter , who had taken the stage a the emcee previously .

However , there was someone standing beside him that surprised Joycelyn .

It was Octavia .

She was dressed in a black and white professional outfit with a pair of black silk stockings under her short skirt , and her white blouse was also form fitting .

She looked so sexy that she didnt seem like she was here for work .

Joycelyn recalled that Octavia took the initiative to add Peters contact information the other day.

Given how much time had passed , she reckoned that Peter was already charmed by Octavia .

She remembered that Octavia majored in secretarial studies .

Octavia saw Joycelyn too .

When she looked over , she had a smug and arrogant look .

Aurelia recognized Octavia as well , and she said , Joycelyn , isnt that your stepsister ? How come she is working for Mr.

Johnson ? Could it be that … People who were in the know knew what she wanted to say but held back .

Joycelyn appeared calm , unaffected by Octavia .

Ignore her , she said .

Were here to work .

Tsk , the work hasnt even been assigned yet , and the gossip is already here , Selene said .

At Peters age , hes definitely married .

Youd better stay away from him .

If his wife shows up later , you might find yourself in trouble as you are Octavias sister .

As she clicked her tongue , she speculated about the situation ahead of time .

Ive already cut ties with her , Joycelyn said .

She was knocked out and kidnapped by Cedric and his brother the other day .

She wasnt seriously harmed , and no evidence linking Octavia was found .

However , Joycelyn had a feeling that this matter had something to do with Octavia .

It appeared that Octavia did not pay attention to Joycelyn too .

Instead , she walked up to Linda with a sense of familiarity and said , Ms.

Lorne , this way , please .

Linda glanced at Octavia .

The instant their eyes met , Joycelyn caught a glimpse of something unusual in their eyes .

She thought .

These two seem to know each other .

69 % Chapter 91 Octavia and Linda only made eye contact during that one second .

Then , they walked one after another , not saying anything else .

They were also worried that Joycelyn would be suspicious .

When they entered the companys large conference room , there were already seven or eight people waiting The representative sent by Rubys team was surprisingly Liam .

Sorry to keep everyone waiting , Peter said .

He then personally troduced the two groups of people .

These are the core members of Ms.

Wilsons team .

This is her assistant , Liam .

The moment Liam saw Joycelyn , his eyes under his black framed glasses lit up immediately .

Standing behind Linda , Joycelyn merely glanced at Liam , not revealing that they were old classmates .

Liam naturally did not bring that up .

He respectfully shook hands with Linda .

The two groups of people sat facing each other .

Peter took the main seat to start the meeting and discussion .

Octavia served him a cup of coffee at the beginning .

After giving him a glance with romantic undertones , she went to the secretarys office and did not return .

The meeting lasted nearly two hours ..

After that , Joycelyn and Selene went to the washroom .

Coincidentally , they bumped into Octavia , who walked over in three inch high heels , swaying her hips with a seductive grace .

When Octavia saw Joycelyn avoiding her , she deliberately walked up to Joycelyn in her high heels .

Blocking Joycelyns way .

she said .

My dear sister , youve been working for two years and youre still an employee .

Im still an intern , yet Im already the chief secretary to the vice president .

My salary is several times higher than yours .

Youre really inferior to me in every way .

They were both professionals , but Joycelyn was simple and elegant .

On the other hand , Octavia was simply like a walking Vixen .

Indeed , Im not as willing as you to go all out , accepting men in their forties and fifties , Joycelyn said .

Her serene beautiful face broke into a gentle smile , but her clear eyes were cold .

and Octavias expression suddenly darkened .

She glanced at Joycelyn mockingly , and her tone carried a hint of gritted teeth as she said .

Im better off than you .

You found yourself a gigolo who sells insurance .

His monthly pay probably doesnt even add up to a fraction of mine .

Youre not in a position to lecture me .
