The Unwilling CEO's Love Game novel Chapter 14

"I like to let things take their natural course. Just like when we got together, it was effortless, no need to force anything." Melvin consoled her rarely, "Don't you think our relationship is just right as it is?"

She also got his point: essentially, he didn't want to go public with their relationship.

The title of boyfriend and girlfriend only existed when they were together. To the outside world, they were still distant.

Jocelyn faked an indifferent smile,, "Yeah, it's fine. Sneaking around together. If we split, it won't become gossip fodder."

The elevator doors opened, and Jocelyn stepped inside.

Melvin followed and closed the door behind them, wrapping his arms around her from behind, "I've never thought about breaking up with you."

Likewise, he hadn't thought about marrying her either.

Jocelyn knew it.

She gently removed his hands and said indifferently, "I'm going to take a shower."

Melvin let her go, seeing the disappointment in her eyes.

At this moment, he was also somewhat irritable.

Her recent desire for a proper status was becoming more evident, and that wasn't what he wanted.

That night, they lay in bed, distinctly separated.

Jocelyn slept hazily, feeling a weight on her and hands roaming over her body, warmth spreading down from beside her ear.

She couldn't help but moan softly, which encouraged her stealthy partner to become more assertive.

His dominance was tempered with tenderness in his love-making, always effortlessly conquering her..

Three years had taught him well how to please them both.

The saying goes, lovers quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of it.

By the time Jocelyn was panting on top of Melvin, she knew she had let her guard down.

Melvin was puffing on a post-coital cigarette, feeling refreshed.

Jocelyn felt a twinge of regret, rested up and without a word, got up from him. Melvin silently watched her, his eyes following her every move.

Jocelyn spent a good half-hour in the bathroom before coming out, still feeling annoyed.

She didn't expect him to cater to her mood, and she didn't bother with him either.

...

Today, Willow was visiting the school, and there was preparation to check, after all, she was a national idol, a goddess, the center of attention wherever she went. The school might even get some buzz because of her.

So, while maintaining the school's authenticity, it was also essential to make sure everything was media-proof and free of flaws that netizens could criticize.

Jocelyn wore an ankle-length white dress with a black blazer, simple and elegant.

Being naturally striking, she was always cautious with her makeup, hair, and clothing, never wearing makeup or brightly colored clothes.

Yet even so, her bare face was considered the most beautiful in the whole school.

Melvin stood behind her, reaching out to drape a necklace around her neck.

The cool sensation made her shiver slightly as he put it on her without asking.

"A gift from my business trip." Melvin wrapped his arms around her, admiring the woman in the mirror, "You look beautiful."

Jocelyn pursed her lips stubbornly, reaching to take it off.

"Still mad?" Melvin grabbed her hand, turning her around to face him. Seeing the defiance in her eyes, he was surprisingly patient, "How about I pick you up for lunch at school?"

Jocelyn's brows furrowed, "You're going to pick me up?"

"Yeah."

"Aren't you afraid of misunderstandings?"

"What others think is beyond our control." Melvin held her waist, his voice deep and slightly appeasing, "What do you feel like eating?"
