Chapter 205 +13 Chapter 205 Lucy had originally planned to enjoy a nice gathering at the 88th floor Sky Garden restaurant .
But after feeling faint , she was taken to a nearby lounge to rest .
Luckily , since this was Ellisons property , he had the VIP room cleared and arranged for a doctor to check on Lucy .
In the luxurious , minimalist VIP lounge , Lucy rested on the sofa while Joycelyn and Sandra sat beside her on another couch .
Ellison and Haddy stood by the window , discussing the future development plans for the downtown area .
The doctor confirmed that Lucy was fine , just needed some time to recover .
Joycelyn began to relax as she watched Sandra pull out her phone , muttering to herself .
Curious , she leaned over to ask , Sandra , whats going on ? Sandras voice was soft , but she replied , Just being inquisitive Google what masochist means .
Lucy , still recovering , felt her toes curl in embarrassment at the mention of the word .
Her eyelids , which had just begun to flutter open , slammed shut again .
Joycelyn , equally puzzled , peered over at Sandras e .
The webpage loaded , and Sandra , who liked reading aloud , began .
Masochist , an online slang term referring to someone with a tendency toward self inflicted pain , often used in the context of sexual relationships where someone enjoys being the submissive one … Sandras voice dropped lower and lower as she spoke .
Both she and Joycelyns faces started to turn a deep shade of red .
By the time she finished reading , the two women were left in awkward silence .
Meanwhile , Lucy , lying on the sofa , felt like her soul had left her body this was pure social suicide .
Joycelyn and Sandra exchanged a glance .
Then , Joycelyn straightened up , her clear eyes darting around the room as she nervously picked at her fingers .
Why was I even part of this conversation ? It felt so shameful , Joycelyn thought .
Joycelyn stole a glance at Ellison and Haddy , who stood by the window , both pretending to ignore the situation .
They were probably just as embarrassed .
Joycelyn assumed that Sandra would back off once she realized how awkward things had gotten , but Sandra , ever the curious one , was relentless .
Haddy , why did Lucy say youre a masochist ? You two … ? Sandra shrugged , her wide eyes spinning as she asked , her lips curving into a mischievous grin .
Do you have a story ? Lucy was left speechless .
Ellison narrowed his eyes and shot a sideways glance at Haddy .
He was struggling to hold back laughter , biting his lip , taking deep breaths to calm the urge to burst out .
Haddy , his normally composed face betraying a flicker of surprise , paused for a moment as if unsure how to respond .
Before he could speak , Lucy shot up from the couch like a spring being released .
Joycelyn gasped .
Lucys sudden movement made it seem like she wasnt feeling better at all .

1/2 ས ཌ 80 % ཡྻཾ +13 Chapter 205 Lucy , is something still wrong ? Joycelyn asked , her brow furrowed in concern .
I think Im better , Lucy said , clenching her fist and flashing Joycelyn a reassuring smile .
But inside , she was drenched in sweat , and her back felt like it might collapse at any moment .
Lucy , do you know Haddy from before ? No , Lucy replied flatly .
Then why do you two seem so familiar with each other ? Its nothing .
I almost died from a scare earlier , and he comforted me , Lucy said with perfect clarity , not missing a beat .
I was just saying , people tend to group together , and I think they all have a very manly vibe , especially Haddy .
She enunciated every word clearly , making sure Sandra wouldnt misunderstand .
Oh , I see , Sandra replied .
Seeing how easily Sandra was fooled , Lucy let out a sigh of relief .
Joycelyn looked thoughtful , then nodded with understanding .
Makes sense .
Right ? Lucy gave a casual smile .
Now Im starving , lets go eat , Lucys stomach rumbled loudly , echoing her discomfort .
Okay , but lets go to a restaurant lower down , somewhere not so high up , Joycelyn said , glancing at Ellison , who stood by the window with his hands in his pockets .
Sure , Ellison replied gravely , Lets just go to a restaurant outside .
Ill have the chef send the food down .
Alright , lets go , Lucy said , feeling better now that her head wasnt spinning , and her legs werent as weak .
All she wanted was to finish the meal and move on from this embarrassing moment .
Ill help you , Joycelyn offered , stepping forward to support Lucys arm .
The three women walked ahead , with Ellison trailing behind , still not saying a word .
That explanation will only fool them , Ellison said as he clapped Haddy on the shoulder , his tone dark and full of meaning .
Haddy simply smiled , not saying anything .
Lucy , Joycelyn added with a touch of concern , You really should carry medication with you from now on .
If something like this happens again , it could be dangerous .
Yeah , lets not talk about it anymore .
Im still scared just thinking about it , Lucy admitted , her voice shaky .
Next time , well just eat by ourselves .
Eating with the big bosses is too stressful , Lucy whispered to Joycelyn .
Joycelyn nodded .
Yeah , well , Haddys here today , and he suggested we have lunch together .
Oh , so he knew beforehand ? Lucy asked , raising an eyebrow .
Yeah , I think he was in our office this morning discussing some partnership deals , Joycelyn said , answering honestly .
Lucy clenched her fists even tighter .
He did this on purpose .
