Chapter 75 Chapter 75 Ellisons phone rang .
William was calling .
He picked up the call , holding the phone to his ear , Without turning on speakerphone , Joycelyn clearly heard the update from the other end .
Ruby wasnt in danger of dying , but her face was severely disfigured , and the situation wasnt looking good .
Joycelyn pouted , clearly unimpressed .
Why would she call him this late ? Looks like their relationship isnt as bad as it seemed .
A sudden feeling of uncase settled in her chest .
She felt her mouth go dry and reached for a white bottle sitting on Ellisons desk .
Without thinking , she twisted off the cap and took a swig .
After a sip of water , she looked at him , still trying to hold her ground .
Okay , got it , Ellison replied in a low voice .
Joycelyn , a bit jealous , moved quickly too quickly for Ellison to stop her before it was too late .
She nearly downed the whole thing in one go .
As the liquid slid down her throat , she immediately regretted it .
It wasnt water but alcohol .
Joycelyn quickly stopped herself , coughing twice , then held up the bottle to examine it .
The text was in some foreign language , but it certainly smelled like alcohol .
Joycelyn asked , Is this alcohol ? I just grabbed whatever was handy , Ellison said , as if it were no big deal .
Just moments ago , he had exuded an air of seriousness , but now all his attention was drawn to Joycelyns actions .
He snatched the sleek bottle from her hand .
Drinking during your period ? What are you thinking ? Ellison said .
Ah , alcohol … Oh my … Joycelyn , who had been so energetic just a moment ago , suddenly felt her body go Her head started to swim , and a rosy flush crept up her cheeks .
The alcohol hit her like a ton of bricks .
Joycelyn said , Why are you still holding me ? Werent you supposed to be with your beauty ? She let out an accidental burp , not even realizing how bitter her words sounded .
What beauty ? Ellison asked .
Ellisons eyes glinted at the change in her tone soft , yet tinged with irritation .
1/4 weak .
+23 ) Chapter 75 4273 * He looked at her , scrutinizing her face .
Joycelyn said , Isk , you forgot about her right after hanging up your phone ? Joycelyn felt dizzy , her gaze faltering as she briefly met Ellisons eyes before quickly looking away , He immediately reached out to steady her before she could collapse onto the desk .
But she pulled her hand away angrily .
Dont touch me .
Ellisons gaze darkened , and with a firm grip , he held her soft hand .
He said , Stop pretending .
Youre not fooling me .
Joycelyn said , Fooling you ? I think you have poor eyesight .
Ive always been cute She grinned sheepishly , then gave him an exaggeratedly cute look .
One drink , and she was already out of her mind .
Ellison chuckled softly , his deep voice a low rumble that made Joycelyn smile foolishly in return .
I heard you had a class reunion today .
A lot of people you had a crush on , huh ? Not going to expzin ? Since she wasnt talking , he decided to ask .
Ellisons previously gentle and affectionate eyes narrowed , his brow furrowed , now radiating an aura of interrogation Joycelyn stared at him blankly , offering no answer .
Whats with that look ? Here , let me give you something to eat , she said , extending her tiny arm toward him .
Ellisons gaze darkened .
He eyed the delicate white arm before opening his mouth to nibble at it Ah , are you a dog ? Why are you biting me ? Joycelyn blinked , feeling confused , though Ellison hadnt bitten her too hard.
Youre asking for it .
Ellisons voice was deep as he scolded her .
You and Ms.
Wilson are classmates , right ? Shes in trouble , and youre staying up late to check on her .
What about you ? Joycelyn pouted in annoyance , clearly getting worked up .
She placed her arm on Ellisons home clothes and rubbed it , looking disgusted .
She had the audacity to treat the presidents high quality homewear like a rag .
Ive never been bitten before .
Joycelyn pouted , her face flushed , clearly starting to relax a little too much .
So , Im your first bite , huh ? Ellison smirked , his voice teasing but calm despite her casual disregard for him .
Without thinking , Joycelyn leaped onto him like a little lion , landing directly in his arms .
Caught off guard , Ellison stumbled back .

Joycelyn , undeterred , bit down on his neck , sharp and unrelenting .
2/4 12:27 Thu , 13 Feb Chapter 75 Ellison barely managed to catch her in time , wrapping an arm around her waist to prevent her from falling .
After biting him , Joycelyn rested against him , her bright eyes meeting his .
Her hair slipped across his neck , sending a shiver down his spine .
Ellison tightened his grip slightly , his breath quickening .
Guess youre blaming me now .
Ellison rubbed his sore neck .
Joycelyn , youve had a drink , and now youre feeling unreasonable , huh ? Ellison couldnt help but notice that , after just one drink , she had let loose all her hidden mischievousness and started causing trouble .
Her unruly , somewhat bratty attitude was oddly endearing .
Not being reasonable ? Ellison reached out to pinch her flushed cheek .
Yeah , not being reasonable .
What are you going to do about it ? Her words were laced with the scent of fruity alcohol .
Ellison said , Are you jealous ? Nope .
Im just drunk , Joycelyn denied it , clearly not willing to admit to her feelings .
Ugh , my head hurts so much , Joycelyn groaned .
The alcohol had given her a pounding headache, and she felt miserable .
Are you starting your act now ? Ellison raised an eyebrow as he watched her exaggerated performance .
His large hand gently rested on her soft waist .
His touch said it all .
Joycelyn almost burst out laughing .
You know what I admire most about you ? she said , wrapping her arms around his neck and gently swaying .
Her sweet , soft voice was like candy , lingering on his mind long after the words were spoken .
Ellison leaned into her touch , pulling her closer to him , his voice hoarse as he asked , What ? What I admire most is how shameless you are .
You look like an innocent man , but underneath that suit is a real rogue .
Ellisons eyes narrowed dangerously .
She hadnt complimented him , but she sure had spoken the truth .
Seems like you really know me .
Well , I kind of like it … Joycelyn murmured , leaning in closer .
Her warm breath brushed against his chin , sending a shiver through him .
Mm ? Ellison softened , his eyes glowing with affection .
He lowered his gaze to the drunken woman in his arms and whispered , Say that again .
I want to hear it .
As she leaned in , her lips grazed his chin , but when Ellison tried to kiss her , she pulled away .
It was all so teasing .
