Chapter 60 Chapter 60 Joycelyn swore she didnt have the habit of eavesdropping she had only come to retrieve her phone .
But now , an unexpected anxiety began to creep over her .
She thought .
What if that man in there tells Ruby about this ? If Ruby finds out , that spoiled rich girl will definitely investigate .
And if the truth comes to light , who knows what might happen to me ? A nervous feeling bubbled up inside her , and just as she was about to leave , she heard Carmelos voice again .
Ellison , Rubys done so much for you .
She cried for a long time when she got home yesterday and insisted that I explain everything to you .
She loves you so much , that she mistook someone else for you .
At hearing this , Joycelyn froze , her steps faltering .
She had planned to leave , but now she couldnt help but listen closely .
Ellisons voice was cold , clearly frustrated as he responded , Do you not understand what Ive said , or have you not been listening at all ? His patience was clearly running thin , and Joycelyn could feel the sharpness of his words .
He hated people bringing up the same old issues , especially Ruby .
He hadnt cared about her for a long time , and he couldnt even remember what she looked like , despite her incessant attempts to get his attention .
Carmelo , sensing the tension , quickly backed down , saying , Sorry , I was too concerned .
Take the watch and leave , Ellison replied , his tone growing even colder .
Carmelo , though visibly uncomfortable , complied , grabbing the Rolex watch and leaving without another word .
The conversation inside ended too quickly , and Joycelyn didnt even have time to leave .
As she waited by the door , she was unexpectedly caught off guard by Carmelo coming out .
Joycelyn felt relieved that when she had considered leaving earlier , she had only moved a few steps without drawing attention .
As Carmelo passed by her , he casually glanced her way .
Joycelyn noticed , and her eyes landed on the paper bag he was holding .

Clearly , it had been returned exactly as it was .
Ellisons voice followed shortly after .
Forget your phone ? he asked , his tone low .
Joycelyn quickly looked away , walked into the office , and said , Mr.
Grant , Ill be going now .
Call me if you need anything .
With that , she grabbed her phone and was about to leave without hesitation , aware that Ellison was still angry .
She didnt dare linger too long or try to console him .
She wasnt sure how to handle his temper .
However , as she reached the door , she saw Carmelo getting into the elevator , and an uneasy thought crossed her mind .
Turning back , she cautiously asked , I overheard him earlier … What if Ruby finds out youre married ? What if she investigates ? Her voice was a mix of unease and nervousness .
She was really afraid of their secret getting out .
She had no power , no influence , no background .
Being targeted by a jealous , 1/3 Chapter 60 obsessive rich girl could end badly for her like being devoured alive .
Ellisons expression shifted slightly , his brow furrowing as he replied , What are you worried about ? Im worried our relationship will be exposed , and then your admirers will focus on me .
Im scared .
Joycelyn voiced her concerns .
Marrying Ellison had brought her happiness , but it also came with an equal amount of fear .
She was just an ordinary woman , and that impulsive decision to get married in a drunken haze had left her on edge every day since .
Even though they were legally married , she still felt like she was living with a secret weight on her heart.
Dont worry .
To hurt you , theyd have to deal with me first .
Who would dare touch you ? Do you think Im just a decoration here ? Ellison said .
Ellisons narrow eyes narrowed even further , the light from the morning sun streaming through the windows casting a sharp contrast on his chiseled features .
Even in the midst of his words , there was an undeniable chill to his presence , an unapproachable aura that made her feel small .
Joycelyn took a deep breath and continued , But … Id rather no one know , if possible .
Is that okay ? Ellisons eyes hardened as he looked at her .
He didnt speak right away , but his silence told her everything she needed to know .
The slight frown between his brows revealed that he was irritated .
Fine .
You can go , he said , his voice tinged with annoyance .
His mood had clearly shifted from the calm composure he normally maintained .
Joycelyn looked obedient , but in her calm eyes , there was a clear desire for divorce , as if she couldnt wait for tomorrow to come so she could make room for another woman .
It felt as though being known as Ellisons wife might just cost her her life .
Then Ill be leaving , Joycelyn said , hearing his response , a sigh of relief escaping her .
Yesterday , she had worn a mask , so his good friend probably hadnt recognized her .
As for the wedding they had discussed earlier , after thinking about it , Joycelyn decided it was probably better not to have one .
After leaving the presidents office , Joycelyn was just about to step into the elevator when she saw Linda standing behind her assistant , Anna , looking as though she were supervising while actually waiting for her .
Joycelyn , what did Mr.
Grant say ? Linda asked , her tone sharp .
Huh ? Didnt you just ask me to deliver something to him ? Joycelyn replied casually , a little too evasively .
You only delivered the sample ? Didnt Mr.
Grant say anything else ? Lindas frown deepened , clearly unsatisfied with her answer .
Hes very busy .
He just asked me to drop it off , didnt mention anything else .
If you want to know more , why dont you go ask him yourself ? Joycelyn shrugged and walked toward her desk , taking a sip from her water cup .
Linda wasnt pleased with this answer and raised her voice , Then what took you so long ? 2/3 13:35 Wed , 12 Feb Chapter 60 52 % I went to the restroom .
No one was there , so I didnt have to wait in line , Joycelyn answered with an innocent smile , clearly annoying Linda even more .
Before Linda could respond , her phone rang , and she answered immediately .
It was Ruby , and the conversation began with a sharp reprimand .
Ms.
Wilson , I dont know everything about Mr.
Grant , you know , Linda said , suddenly softening her tone , almost reverential as she spoke .
Joycelyn raised an eyebrow but didnt pay much attention .
Mr.
Grant hasnt had any rumors with women for years .
I honestly dont know who hes interested in now , Linda continue her voice filled with a mix of uncertainty and resignation .
As Linda entered her office to continue the call , Joycelyn couldnt help but wonder about the dynamics she was now caugh up in .
Earlier , she had thought Ellison was just acting out of frustration , but now she wasnt so sure .
Joycelyn thought , Has our marriage just been a convenient cover for him ? A shield to protect his image ? * Hey , what do you think why would a successful man with no dating rumors have no partner ? Joycelyn asked , resting h chin in her hands and sighing dramatically .
Selenes eyes lit up at the question , a mischievous grin spreading across her face .
Well , in the past , it mightve been someone who was in love but couldnt have it .
But now , I think the most likely explanation is … hes gay .
Joycelyn blinked in shock .
Wait , what ? 15:36 Wed , 12 Feb.
