Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules Novel

Chapter 99 Chapter 99 BG What am I afraid of ? Joycelyn thought .

When she heard this question , a remark she had read somewhere flashed across her mind.

691 If one is willing to avoid extreme ecstasy and joy , neither great shock nor deep sadness will come ones way , she thought .

The shadow of Joycelyns upbringing had already been engraved in her bones , so she did not dare to completely trust him .

Even if he treated her really well and made her lose her head , once she calmed down , she would still pull herself out of those feelings of gratitude .

Those who were loved were fearless , while those who lacked love were cautious .

She was afraid that he was just doing it on a whim .

Even more so , she was afraid that she wouldnt be able to protect her own heart and be left severely heartbroken in the end .

Joycelyn looked at the slightly angry Ellison and felt her heart ache for no reason .

The agitation in her heart surged up , as if her emotional pain was being made worse .

The two of them stared at each other for about half a minute .

In the end , Ellison did not force her to answer his question .

He lowered his blue eyes , hiding that unknown emotion well As he saw the wariness and bitterness in her eyes , his heart softened Go back and think it over .

Theres no hurry to give me a reply .

Hllison offered a way out for both of them .

Joycelyn nodded .

Okay .

After replying , she turned around and left the CEOs office .

She felt a bit weighed down , thinking to herself , I wonder if I misinterpreted it .

When I looked into Ellisons eyes earlier , it seemed like he was hurt too , huh ? Im so torn .

While Joycelyn was still in the elevator , she received a document from Ellison on her phone .

It was a collection of wedding photos and pictures of gowns , each one so beautiful that one would fall for them .

She didnt expect him to be so thoughtful , picking out so many beautiful wedding dresses and jewelry … What he had done for her went far beyond what she could comprehend She felt inexplicably frustrated , thinking that she had been too harsh earlier .

Joycelyn did not dare to reply immediately .

Holding her phone she walked to her desk gloomily and drank half a glass of water .

Only then did she calm her complicated emotions .

As soon as she sat down , Selene moved to her side and said , Joycelyn , I heard that Mr.

Grant is taking you on a business trip .

What a good opportunity .

Selene rubbed her shoulder against Joycelyn , clearly trying to stir things up .

But when she saw Joycelyns tense face , she immediately stopped smiling .

Whats wrong ? Did Mr.

Grant snap at you ? Why + Chapter 99 the long face ? 69 % ) Nope , Joycelyn said .

Its just that theres too much work .

My head hurts .

She came up with a random reason to deal with Selene .

Otherwise , this cheeky girl with her sharp eyes would have been able to tell at a glance .

Hey , Mr.

Grant thinks highly of you , so youd better perform well .

When you get a promotion and a raise , treat me to coffee .

Selenes voice was not soft .

Linda , who was stepping out to get some water , overheard it .

Whats more , Mr.

Grant taking you on a business trip shows that he values your abilities , Selene continued .

Ive been working here for so many years , and Ive never seen Mr.

Grant brang anyone on a business trip other than his assistants .

It was precisely because of this that Joycelyn felt troubled .

She had not even gone on a business trip , and everyone was already watching her intently .

So , she reckoned that if she really came back from the business trip , they would definitely pick on her .

Ellison sure knows how to cause me trouble , she thought .

I even suspect that what I said in the heat of the moment last night , he actually took to heart and is now insisting that I go de abridal photoshoot .

What a possessive freak Linda walked over immediately , her usual sternness replaced with a smile , looking very gentle .

She said , Joycelyn , Mr.

Grant arranged for you to go on a business trip with him .

It seems that he thinks highly of you , huh ? Attend the investment conference with me in the afternoon to get some experience so you dont make any mistakes and lose face .

This made Joycelyn and Selene look at each other for a while .

Isnt it the International Investment Conference this afternoon Joycelyn said .

Why should I attend ? Mr.

Grant is taking you abroad .

Your spoken foreign language has to meet a certain standard , right ? It just so happens that the International Investiment Conference is in the afternoon , so you can get a feel for it in advance .

Lindas excuse was perfect .

Joycelyn did not doubt it at all .

Oh , okay .

She nodded in agreement .

Seeing whats out there to learn new stuff is a good thing , she thought .

Alright , get ready then , Linda said with a smile .

Well get there in my car in the afternoon .

With that said , she walked toward the pantry .

After she left , Selene twitched her mouth and said , This woman sure knows how to ride the wave .

After finding out that Mr.

Grant values you , she immediately switches gears to flatter you ! Shes always been such a snob , Joycelyn said .

Its not the first time Ive known out about it She had seen Lindas snobbery before .

But I think the International Investment Conference in the afternoon is a good opportunity to get some experience .

I guess Mr.

Grants business trip is likely about our current smart chip project .

Its good for you to go and take a look .

you going? Aurelia , arent you Im tied up , Aurelia said , shrugging helplessly .

It was Selene who explained the situation .

Linda and Aurelia have the same position , but Lindas still the one in control To 11:59 Fri , Feb 14 Chapter 99 69 % make a show of her abilities , she sent Aurelia away so that she gets to go to the investment conference site to take part in bidding with Mr.

Grant .

How dare she ? Joycelyn said .

Aurelia is a director after all .

Selene responded sharply , chattering away .

But shes been a director for over three years , smooth in dealing with outsiders .

Plus , she and Mr.

Grant are alumni of the same school .

At the company , she lords over people .

All she knows is bullying us .

Shes so darn stuck up just because shes schoolmates with Mr.

Grant .

I think shes just a lackey in front of those socialites and heiresses .

Joycelyn immediately had her peel a candy and pop it into her mouth .

Cheeky girl , lets get back to work now , she said , also starting to work on her tasks .

She was suddenly involved in the International Investment Conference for no reason , so she needed to look into it first .

At one oclock in the afternoon , Joycelyn was called away by Linda She handed a large Dior tote bag to Joycelyn and said .

There are important documents inside .

You are my assistant today .

Stay by my side and take good care of it .

Joycelyn lowered her gaze and glanced at it , but she didnt take it Linda frowned in displeasure and admonished her .

Til drive .

You carry it .

Dont leave it behind .

Joycelyn had no choice but to take it , thinking , Sure .

Im just being a bag carrying girl .

No big deal .

I can be flexible .

No problem .

At this moment , Joycelyn did not overthink things .

She had actually been schemed against by Linda before she even left they company .

When they arrived at the International Conference Center , Joycelyn and Linda got out of the car and waited quietly .

Ellison got out of the Rolls Royce .

His blue eyes were immediately attracted by Joycelyn , who was carrying a handbag .

Joycelyn pretended not to notice .

She quietly and obediently carried the handbag , standing beside Linda .

Linda came forward and greeted Ellison with a radiant smile , Mr.

Grant .

However , Ellison didnt respond , merely casting a cold glance at Linda , who immediately felt a chill at the back of her neck from his gaze .
