"It's so noisy here. I didn't hear it clearly," Joycelyn replied softly.

Joycelyn suddenly felt like she was walking on thin ice, finding her current life more challenging than she had imagined.
She adjusted her mask and smoothed her hair, trying to look more natural.
As she approached, she politely called out to Isolde, "Mrs. Grant." Lucy also politely greeted her.
Meanwhile, Leah kept gazing admiringly at Ellison, without hiding it from Joycelyn.
"Hey, you guys go together and have fun. I asked Luna to prepare sbreakfast for you to enjoy on the plane," Isolde said with a cheerful smile, not elaborating further.
Joycelyn noticed the logo on the meal box. It was from the local restaurant she had mentioned was quite good during a meal with Isolde.

"I'll leave Ellison to you," Isolde whispered in Joycelyn's ear.
"Yes, I will," Joycelyn replied softly.
After parting from Isolde, Joycelyn held Lucy's hand and boarded the plane.
"Grandma, we're leaving." Ellison's clear voice rang out as he bid farewell to Isolde.
"Mr. Grant, have a safe trip. I'll take good care of Mrs. Grant, so you don't need to worry," Leah, who had been quietly supporting Isolde, said.

Joycelyn nodded. "Do you think men can pick up on it?" "I heard that most men can't distinguish between subtle intentions, but Mr. Grant isn't just any man. He should be able to see through it, especially since he didn't even glance her way," Lucy replied.
"You think so highly of him?" Joycelyn widened her eyes, very curious about Lucy's perspective.
"Although he was wearing sunglasses, I could feel that his gaze was cold the whole time," Lucy recalled Ellison's demeanor confidently.
She leaned in closer to Joycelyn, speaking in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Men with high status and a lot of money either have seen too much or aren't interested in women. They're not easy to attract. I've dated eight, truston this." At first, Joycelyn found it hard to believe, but after hearing about Lucy's experience with eight men, she couldn't help but be convinced.
After all, Lucy was very outstanding, and any man who caught her eye must be exceptional too.
"Alright, alright, I believe you." Joycelyn nodded with a serious expression.
"Let's wait until Mr. Grant boards first," Lucy said, pulling Joycelyn back.
In the workplace, attention to detail was crucial.
"Alright," Joycelyn quickly complied, standing aside with Lucy.

Those were likely prepared for her.
"Alright, you rest first," Joycelyn said, not saying much more. After all, Lucy was already on the plane, and she couldn't ignore her.
Seeing his cold expression and lack of response, Joycelyn left with the meal box.
As she slowly walked to the business class door, she glanced back at m Ellison. His broad, imposing figure and meticulously styled dark hair gave off an air of restrained elegance. Ellison, unsure if Joycelyn was really leaving, turned his head and met her gaze.
