The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 4

Jocelyn was annoyed with herself for her lack of resolve, and annoyed at him for knowing her too well.

He was so sure she was head over heels for him that he thought she just couldn’t say no to him.-

Not wanting to let him have her wrapped around his finger, she turned her head away and blurted out, “I have al boyfriend.”

Melvin snorted, ‘The real estate quy?”

“That’s his profession. Don’t look down on it ”

“I’ve never looked down on any profession. It’s him as a person that I don’t respect..”

Melvin pulled out his phone and played an audio clip.

“Mr. Martinez, if you hand over those properties and let me dealing with them, I’ll break up with Jocelyn.”

“But you’re supposed to be getting married, right?”

That was arranged by our parents; I had no choice.”

You don’t like her?

“I’m still young, so I’ve got to prioritize my career. Plus, weddings cost a fortune, right? Besides, I can tell you two are a better fit, so consider this an early blessing.

Melvin put down the phone, “Boyfriend? He sure doesn’t treat you like one.”

Jocelyn was steaming inside but had nowhere to vent. She couldn’t blame Declan for making that choice; if she saw him getting cozy with another girl, she’d opt for a breakup too.

Grown-ups know how to take advantage of the relationships they can.

And Declan using the breakup to negotiate with Melvin was just him betting that Melvin was still into her.

“Your marriage dreams just crashed and burned before they even took off.” Melvin wrapped his arms around her waist and nibbled on her earlobe, “Isn’t it better to just live in the moment?”

His breathing got heavy, his hand wandering under her clothes, lips finding her collarbone.

Jocelyn’s mind was crystal clear, she tilted her neck back, “I’m not playing this game with you anymore.

The kisses on her chest paused.

Melvin looked up, her eyes were like a stagnant pool, devoid of any desire.
