Chapter 49 Joycelyn glanced over , her fair face momentarily showing a trace of surprise .
She thought , That watch … wasnt it the limited edition the rich girl bought yesterday ? Ellison noticed that Joycelyn was staring intently and asked , Do you like it ? Joycelyn quickly snapped out of her thoughts , blinking a couple of times and replying .
Its the first time Ive seen a man wear a diamond watch , and it looks pretty nice .
It must be really expensive , right ? Ellison raised his wrist and looked at the watch before casually responding .
Its just a watch Joycelyn nodded in agreement , her mind once again being blown away by the wealth some people have .
A watch worth more than a million dollars shed probably have to work her whole life just to afford something like that .
There was a question she was dying to ask , but she hesitated and didnt dare to speak it out loud .
Instead , she pretended to be in a hurry to leave for work The flush on her cheeks and the way her eyes flickered didnt escape Ellisons sharp gaze .
Joycelyn , is there something you want to ask ? Ellison called out to her .
Joycelyn shook her head quickly and said , Nope .

Im off now , bye … That morning .
Joycelyn drove faster than usual.
Linda had returned to work after being discharged from the hospital , and the office felt tense that morning .
Around noon , Joycelyn and Aurelia were just about to head out for lunch when Linda called them over .
Mr.
Grant is holding a birthday party today , Linda said , her tone commanding .
The hotel needs extra hands to set up for the event .
Everyones going to help .
Joycelyn and Aurelia exchanged looks .
Aurelia responded , Which hotel ? We havent eaten yet .
Can we go after lunch ? We need to go now , Linda said briskly , her tone full of urgency .
Theyve arranged employee meals at the hotel .
Since it was Mr.
Grants birthday , they didnt object .
After gathering their things , they went to the parking garage , got in their cars , and drove to the hotel to help set up for the party .
The half outdoor restaurant had been decorated extravagantly , far more luxurious than their companys annual party- probably ten times more so .
-to At the hotel , there was only a simple buffet , so Joycelyn and the others quickly had a few bites before getting to work .
They worked non stop until 5 p.m.
before the team finally had a chance to rest .
collections .
Oh my God , this is so extravagant , Selene said , shaking her head .
I heard just the venue cost over 300 thousand dollars .
And the hotel manager said tonights red wine and champagne are vintage The pastries were made by the top chefs in the industry just a row of little cakes costs more than our monthly salaries , 17:10 he , 11 Feb MO Chapter 49 As a foodie , Selene couldnt stop talking about it .
Its insane 51 % Joycelyn , who had been sitting on the steps , rubbing her sore legs , replied , Oh wow , there are a lot of people coming , huh ? inda said well stay here to change into staff uniforms and help .
I also heard Selene continued , that this birthday party was organized by Mr.
Grants rumored first love .
Shes a rich girl , and apparently , they were madly in love bark in the day , but then they broke up for some reason .
Mr.
Grant has stayed single ever since because of her At the mention of this gossip , Joycelyns ears perked up .
She sat up straighter , suddenly interested , Wait , tell me more .
She thought , Could it be that I look like his first love ? Is that why he married me ? Its the classic story of childhood sweethearts from wealthy families , Selene began sharing the gossip shed heard , recounting various details .
More and more colleagues gathered around to listen , including Joycelyn , who was even more eager than everyone else .
Just then , Selene lowered her voice and said , Do you see that woman in pink haute couture ? Thats her .
Today , she and Mr.
Grant are wearing matching outfits .
Joycelyn looked over and saw , sure enough , the rich girl shed spotted yesterday at the Rolex store .
She was dressed head to toe in pink , looking like a flower in full bloom , her hair impeccably styled .
At that moment , Joycelyn began to doubt the whole childhood sweethearts story .
Ellison had worn the shirt shed bought him this morning , and when he left , she complimented him on it , which seemed to please him .
But now , this rich girl was also in a full pink ensemble .
Could it be … coincidence ? In the middle of the party , Ruby stood admiring the setup , saying , Very good , thank you , Linda .
Not at all .
If Ms.
Wilson is happy , Im relieved , Linda replied with feigned modesty .
Ms.
Wilsons outfit today really suits Mr.
Grant .
Its the first time weve seen him wear such bright colors seems like love can even change a man like Mr.
Grant , Linda complimented warmly .
Ruby flicked her long , curly hair with a smug smile .
Of course .
To make sure Ellison would like her , she had put in a lot of effort .
From the gift to todays outfit , everything had been carefully planned and researched in advance .
She wanted everyone to know that she was a special presence in Ellisons life .
Today , only Mr.
Grant and I are allowed to wear pink , Ruby added , her tone firm .
Anyone else in pink should be sent out .
Linda was unhappy but hid it behind a smile .
Understood .
After that , Ruby turned to look at Joycelyn and her group , who were sitting off to the side resting Joycelyn , still gossiping , caught Rubys sharp gaze and blinked .
Joycelyn thought , Did she recognize me ? 17:10 16 , 11 Feb Chapter 49 Ruby cold , scornful tone cut through the air , Who are those girl Her gaze landed on Joycelyns face .
Clean and fair , with a state glow , prycelyn booked effortently head , gerally with her clear , lively eyes Even sitting casually on the steps , she captured everyones attention .
A woman like this was stunning but had no aggression something Kuby couldnt stand Rubys gaze darkened with jealousy and disdain .
Linda followed Rubys line of sight .
Oh , theyre from our department .
Theyre just helping out today , the answered carefully .
Make sure they all wear masks and keep their faces hidden .
Todays guests are all wealthy and influential .
We dont want to scare them or Mr.
Grants friends .
Rubys voice was frosty , laced with contempt .
Lindas eyes narrowed , looking at Joycelyns sweet , refined face .
She had an idea .
That girl sitting in the middle … she tried to seduce Mr.
Grant during the annual meeting .
She looks all pure and artsy , but shes not a good person , Linda whispered .
Rubys eyes turned vicious as she glared at Joycelyn , almost as if she wanted to tear her apart .
