Ellison And Joycelyn A Love Beyond The Rules novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98 

“Going abroad on a business trip?” Aurelia said. 

She was a little surprised when she heard about this work arrangement from Ellison. 

Joycelyn stood quietly at the side and could not help but give a graceful eye–roll

“Mr. Grant, our group’s overseas business is usually handled by Joycelyn and me,” Aurelia reported truthfully. “But recently, we’ve been working with the subsidiary on a new project. We might not be able to leave” 

Joycelyn remained silent. She stood there quietly and looked at Ellison reclining on the large chair of high status and authority. 

He was wearing a well–ironed black suit, which made his face look even more handsome and cold. His facial features were profound and well–defined, as if he had walked out of a painting 

Joycelyn had personally buttoned up every single button on that black shirt. 

It had to be said that when he wore that custom–made suit, he looked really out of reach. 

His expression was cold and dignified, making people instinctively feel a sense of respect and awe toward him 

Joycelyn was also a bit scared when she saw him. 

Ellison closed the folder in his hand and said in a serious voice, Joycelyn, what about you? I’ve seen your profile. Your foreign language skills are not bad. Ms. Finch will stay to handle the work. You’ll come with me on the business trip to 

discuss work.” 

The tone, which left no room for argument, made Joycelyn’s heart skip a beat inexplicably 

“I… I have a lot of work to handle too,” she said, refusing Ellison’s order. 

At this point, she had already guessed that there was more to Ellison bringing her on a business trip than met the eye. 

She reckoned that he was probably taking her overseas for a wedding photoshoot. 

He had pestered her in the middle of the night yesterday, asking her where she wanted to go for the wedding photoshoot. 

When Aurelia saw Joycelyn decline, she immediately turned around and glanced at her. “Don’t miss such a good opportunity,” she said. “Mr. Grant, I agree on behalf of Joycelyn, she will definitely do a great job in completing the work.” 

“Alright, I’ll talk to her again,” Ellison said, tossing the folder in his hand onto the table. He then lifted his gaze and glanced at the defiant Joycelyn with a strong presence. 

When Aurelia heard this, she immediately smiled and nodded. Alright, I’ll go ahead with my work then. 

With that said, she left the CEO’s office. 

Mr. Grant personally choosing someone for a business trip shows how much he values that person, she thought. Every employee will feel smug about it, yet Joycelyn is the exception.” 

Joycelyn’s expression was tense as she looked at Ellison expressionlessly, her clear eyes filled with resentment.

“Close the door.” Ellison said in a serious voice. 

His deep and steady voice was filled with a sense of mature masculinity, and he naturally exuded the authority and dominance of a person in power. 

Helpless, Joycelyn walked over to close the door.

As soon as the door was closed, her face puffed up with irritation as she asked, “Are we really going on a business trip? Where are we going, and what are we going to do?” 

She asked three questions, but Ellison didn’t answer a single one. 

Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at her angry expression in a leisurely manner. 

“Virelia, Lephyros, or Malicoria,” he said. “Where do you want to go!” 

“I don’t want to go anywhere,” Joycelyn said with a sulky expression. 

“Joycelyn, you’ve gotten bolder. Challenging me, huh? Ellison’s voice turned serious. He looked over with his sapphire–like eyes, and Joycelyn’s heart inexplicably skipped a beat. 

But she still snorted and pouted. 

Deep down, her nervous emotions were taut with tension. 

“Come here.” Ellison’s gentle tone revealed a hint of dominance, 

Joycelyn had no choice but to move when his blue eyes suddenly focused on her. 

She slowly walked over and moved toward the big table. 

“Come here.” Ellison pulled his chair back and gestured for her to come forward. 

Joycelyn was extremely reluctant, but she couldn’t resist his powerful presence. 

She sulkily moved slowly and took two steps closer to him, looking like a wife who was used as an outlet for her husband’s frustration. 

Ellison reached out to pull Joycelyn, but she withdrew her hand, placing it behind her back and taking two steps back. Then, he immediately moved the front big chair and pulled her into his arms. “Where do you want to take the wedding photos?” 

“I’m too fat. I’ll take pictures after losing weight.” Joycelyn squirmed, wanting to get up. 

She thought, “I knew it. The business trip is just an excuse, and what is actually happening is the plan to take wedding photos.’ 

“With your weight, holding you yesterday was the same as before though it’s true that you’ve gone through a second growth spurt. I couldn’t hold you with just one hand anymore.” 

Ellison looked at the shy woman in his arms. His face was cold, but there his gaze. 

Upon hearing this, Joycelyn felt uneasy.

This man was still looking cold and serious carlier, she thought How come… 

“Scum!” Joycelyn slapped the back of his hand. 

Right after she said that, William knocked on the door from outside and said, “Mr. Grant.”

Hearing that someone was coming. Joycelyn felt extremely guilty and flustered. Her small body slid down like a loach, and she hid under the big desk. 

Ellison was left speechless. 

Looking at Joycelyn, who was curling up under the desk, he felt mix of amusement and annoyance. 

William opened the door and came in to report on today’s work 

But as soon as he stepped in, he sensed that the atmosphere was off. 

Looking down, he spotted a small figure hiding under the desk. 

Joycelyn probably hadn’t noticed that the underside of the desk wasn’t fully enclosed and was actually visible, but she still tried her best to make a shushing gesture, signaling Ellison to stay quiet and not give her away. 

William said, “Mr. Grant, I’m here to inform you that there’s a meeting shortly.” With that said, he immediately left awkwardly and closed the door. 

“Get up,” Ellison said. “You hid clumsily and ended up exposing yourself. William already saw you.” Joycelyn’s face was filled with shock. Only then did she notice that there was nothing behind her…. 

Fortunately, it was William who came in. Otherwise, she would have lost her face thoroughly. 

“It’s all your fault!” Joycelyn frowned and punched him angrily before crawling out from under the table. 

“So, where are we going to take our wedding photos?” 

“I don’t want to take any.” Joycelyn still insisted. 

She was not really happy about taking wedding photos, 

“Not taking them, huh? We’ll go to Virelia then. The sea view there is not bad. I’ll order the wedding dresses for you.” He then took the iPad and swiped it. The screen was filled with luxurious haute couture wedding dresses from various brands. 

Joycelyn was shocked. 

“So many wedding dresses?” 

“Yes, we’ll go for seven days. While we’re at it, we’ll have our honeymoon.” 

Hearing Ellison’s words, Joycelyn suddenly felt uncomfortable about the situation. 

She thought, ‘He’s serious about this! Didn’t we say we’d just have a casual wedding? Now he’s making it all so formal. I’m completely lost 

Joycelyn hesitated for a while before saying truthfully, “Mr. Gra I just want to get married. I’ve never thought about the

wedding or the wedding dress. I don’t think it suits us. It’s too much trouble.” 

She could go on business trips or have fun, but if Ellison was serious, she would not be able to handle it.

Joycelyn, what exactly are you afraid of? Huh?” Ellison could not help but lose his patience as Joycelyn kept refusing him. His expression turned colder.
