The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 105

How much longer did she plan on touching him?

She was not touching him!

Jocelyn’s cheeks flamed as she withdrew her hand, her knee still awkwardly caught between his Their current position was definitely not child-friendly.

If it were not for his endless antics, would it really have come to this?

Luckily, he seemed to have some sense of dignity because he finally shifted his legs aside, giving her room to scoot back into her seat. The plane had leveled out by now.

Jocelyn sat ngidly in her seat, wishing for an escape hatch she could jump through if it existed

She could not move, haunted by the lingering sensation on her palm, until she finally caved and asked the flight attendant for a wet

wipe.

She had nailed herself to her seat, not wanting to leave it till the flight ended.

Once she had the wet wipe, she scrubbed at her hand like it was a grimy countertop.

Melvin watched the whole ordeal, his eyes icing over with each wipe she took.

Was she repulsed by him?

It was not like she had not touched him there before. Why the disgust now?

His expression darkened, but Jocelyn could not care less; she did not even glance his way.

Somehow, they made it to landing.

Jocelyn did not budge until Melvin had left his seat.

However, he seemed content to wait, likely preferring not to shuffle out with the rest of the crowd, sitting still as stone.

When he finally stood, Jocelyn followed suit, trailing behind him out of the plane.

As soon as they hit the terminal, she quickened her pace, eager to put distance between them.

She claimed her luggage just as Harrison’s call came through. She had not expected him to be so punctual, having planned to message

him from the car.

“Yeah just landed Got my luggage, heading out now,” Jocelyn said, dragging her suitcase and looking towards the exit.

Harrison did not keep her long, just a few words of caution before hanging up

The taxi line was bustling, a sea of people and cars.

“Jocelyn Yasmine approached, calling out her name.

Jocelyn was momentarily surprised to see Yasmine, but given that Melvin was also there, nothing should surprise her at this point.

She nodded slightly, a token of civility.

“Want a nde with us?”

The “us” clearly included Melvin

Jocelyn, remembering the flight’s embarrassment, declined politely. “No, thanks!

“You really that scared of spending time with Melvin? Yasmine cut straight to the point

Jocelyn forced a smile, her silence speaking volumes.

Yasmine let out a laugh. “I am me, and he is he”

This was true, but they were still family, and Jocelyn was not looking for trouble

Melvin had emerged by now, his mood visibly souring at the sight of them together

Jocelyn did not dare meet his gaze.

A taxi pulled up just in time for her to make a break for it. The driver helped with her luggage, and she quickly hopped in, desperate to Пор

As the driver closed the trunk and was about to get in, the passenger door reopened, and Melvin slid in beside her

The driver glanced back. “You guys together?”

“No, Jocelyn blurted out. “I don’t know him.”

“Look, buddy, ho carpooling here,” the driver warned Melvin.

‘She’s my girl,” Melvin stated flatly.

The driver looked to Jocelyn for confirmation.

Her face was about to burst into flames, “Im not!” She protested, her voice tinged with anger.

The driver frowned. “So, are you two together or not?”

“No!”

“Yes!”

The driver could tell they were connected somehow Probably a couple having a spat.

“If you’re together, I’m driving.”

“Where to?”

Melvin did not go too far and gave Jocelyn’s address.

As the car started, Jocelyn realized she was trapped.

She turned her face to the window, refusing to look at Melvin.

He, on the other hand, was on the phone with Yasmine. “Find out where Zephyr is and go back with him. Yeah. What can I do to her? Alright, bye

The nde was silent, the driver occasionally stealing glances at the pair in the back through the rear- view mirror. They looked like a good match, but the guy seemed a little hot-tempered and fierce.

“Pal, when a lady’s mad, you gotta sweet-talk her, not match her temper. How’s it gonna work between you two if this keeps up?” The driver offered some unsolicited advice. “Once you get home, check for some durian at the local fruit stand, or just pick up a couple of bricks from the side of the road. Not for throwing, mind you, just kneel on ’em. If that doesn’t cool her down, bash yourself with them.”

Jocelyn’s expression was a mix of disbelief and amazement.

Melvin glanced at her, perhaps wondering if she was silently chuckling.

He retorted, Can’t spoil women too much”

The driver just shook his head-a hopeless case.

When they stopped outside Jocelyn’s apartment, Melvin was quick to retrieve her luggage from the trunk, holding onto it firmly

Before the driver left, he pointed at some shrubbery nearby, “Have a look there. If not, just snap a twig to take home.”

Melvin cracked a rare joke. “Got a belt.”

The driver burst out laughing and then drove off.

Jocelyn stood there, uncomfortable, eyeing her suitcase in Melvin’s grip. She approached, saying. Thanks.

“Aren’t you going to invite me up? Melvin had no intention of handing over her things.

“It’s not a good time.

“Hehe. Melvin’s laugh was cold, and he looked down. “Jocelyn, don’t push your luck.”

Jocelyn clenched her fists, staring at him defiantly. “Im not.”

“I can overlook a kiss with him. But if you dare sleep with him. His eyes narrowed dangerously. “My temper is short. You know that.”

So he had seen it

For a fleeting moment, panic set in, as if caught in an affair, doing something unforgivable to him.

But she and he were over

entangle with him now would be the real betrayal of Harrison.

“Mr. Martinez, it seems you’ve forgotten something We’re done. Over” Jocelyn reached for her suitcase, but he held it tight.

Jocelyn forrowed her brow in frustration. “What on earth are you trying to do?”

hould have a word with your shiny new boyfriend about how you’ve been feeling me up? Maybe I should just give him a ning night

clutched the handle of her suitcase with a menacing grip

Jocelyn’s lead was pounding.

“You were all over me at the hospital. He probably has no clue.” Melvin’s tone was thick with threat. “Jocelyn, I’m giving you an out here. You’d better take the hint!”

Taking a deep breath, Jocelyn stared him down. “You know what you sound like? A complete thug!”

“You’re spot on. I am a thug. So, you better get wise and figure out what to do next.” Melvin leaned in, his presence enveloping her, making no effort to conceal his malicious intent. “Let’s not make this unpleasant for everyone, shall we?”

“You…” Jocelyn was so angry her chest hurt.

Melvin could not care less. No matter what, he was not about to let this woman get her happy ending with another man.

After more than three years, he had not moved on. Why should she get to find someone new?

“Call him. Break it off, Melvin demanded forcefully.

Jocelyn’s eyes reddened ‘I won’t!”

Then I’ll call him.” He pulled out his smartphone.

“Don’t you dare go too far Jocelyn snapped, reaching for his phone.

Melvin easily sidestepped her, holding the phone high out of reach. “So, will it be you or me?”

“What’s it to you? You’re practically engaged to Willow Why are you messing with me?” Jocelyn’s voice trembled.

“Didn’t happen,” Melvin repeated emphatically. “I told you, there’s no engagement”

Jocelyn felt no joy at this revelation. Engaged or not, their relationship was murky; he clearly had not forgotten his first love.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t want to be with you anymore.”

‘I’ll give you some time to think it over, Melvin said coldly, his eyes glinting like ice.
