The Unwilling CEO’s Love Game

Chapter 33

Jocelyn’s ears perked up, her heart in her throat

Its not that she was nosy about Melvin’s private life, but knowing why he was so dead-set against marriage would’ve

been a small comfort.

“Preston!”

Right as Preston was about to spill the beans, in walked Melvin, face stormy as a thundercloud.

The diner fell silent as the grave with Melvin’s entrance.

A few young gals got all hot and bothered at the sight of him. The guy was too handsome for his own good.

Preston rolled his eyes helplessly and muttered an apologetic “Can’t tell ya today” to Jocelyn.

She nodded, getting the picture

Even if Preston had the guts to spill, she wasn’t sure she had the guts to hear it.

“Flight’s at six, pack your bags. I’ll drop you off at the airport, Melvin commanded, not giving Preston room to argue.

Preston was speechless, mouth agape, ending up with a forced laugh.

A laugh tinged with frustration.

He puffed his cheeks, nodding at Melvin. “Good for you!”

Melvin shot him a frosty look. “Want me to change your flight to three o’clock?”

If Preston didn’t have respect for him as an uncle, he’d have thrown his unfinished drink right in Melvin’s face.

“I’m out,” Preston said, bidding Jocelyn a reluctant goodbye. “See you.”

Jocelyn didn’t want to meddle in their family drama, so she just nodded and said, “Make sure to have fun on your break, but sneak in a bit of reading too.”

“Got it, Preston replied, clearly down in the dumps.

Melvin shooed Preston into the car with a look and didn’t drive off right away, waiting for Jocelyn instead.
