Ellison And Joycelyn: A Love Beyond The Rules

Chapter 204 "Stop saying that!" Lucy's head was already pounding, and hearing Haddy repent the words you made the you wak They had both been drinking, but Haddy's memory was way too sharp. How could be remember all thone dirty things Lucy had said so clearly? "Maybe you should distract yourself a bit, it might make you feel better! Waddy said, looking, innocently a Lucy who thot him a glare. His handsface, with its sharp features, carried an expression of sight innocence.

I'm fine," Lucy muttered, pushing Haddy aside and retreating to a comer of the elevator Haddy was pushed back and ended up sitting on the floor. He didn't get upset, The elevator fell into an uncomfortable silence, the atmosphere thick with tension and awkwardnes "Let's never speak of this again. Pretend it never happened, or next time, I'll rip that mouth of yours, Lucy finally broke the silence, unable to hold back anymore.

Haddy, the picture of elegance, with his noble, righteous look, somehow always seemed to drop bombshells when he spoke. He wasn't flirtatious, but his words were always sharp and direct. It was like a refined gentleman, whose eyes were as pure and innocent as a young boy's, throwing out outrageous remarks, making it hard to guess his true intentions.

Lucy had met many men, but this was the first tshe'd encountered one who beceven more clingy after they'd gotten close.

"Haddy, can I ask you something?" Lucy couldn't help her curiosity. She watched him, sitting on the floor with his calm, seasoned presence. He radiated the unique aura of a man in his thirties-refined, polished, and quite noble. Lucy's eyes, filled with a certain wetness, gazed at him blankly, and in that moment, she felt strangely at ease, despite the mess they were in.

"Ask away," he said.

"Are you... a masochist?" Lucy hesitated but asked straight out.

As soon as the words left her mouth, the elevator doors suddenly opened.

Sandra, with surprising strength, pried open the tightly shut doors, and two firefighters immediately rushed in to assist.

The firefighters, standing at the door, froze at the awkwardness of the situation, unsure whether their timing was appropriate.

Behind them, Joycelyn was on her toes, nearly jumping to get a look inside.

Lucy's face turned pale when the doors opened unexpectedly. Her expression froze as the shock hit her. "They didn't give any warning before opening the door," Lucy muttered. She'd already been scared out of her wits; this was almost the last straw.

"Lucy, are you alright?" Joycelyn asked, her voice filled with worry as she peered in from behind the firefighters. "I'm fine," Lucy tried to reassure her, trying to get up on her own, but her legs were too weak, and she couldn't muster the strength.

It was the firefighters who helped her to her feet.

10:56 Fri, 21 Feb O Chapter 204 "Thanks," Lucy muttered politely, though she couldn't bear to look at their faces. It was too embarrassing.

80% +13) Haddy, however, seemed perfectly fine. He stood up, walked out of the elevator without a single hint of awkwardness. His eyes remained locked on Lucy.

"Are you alright?" Joycelyn asked, hugging Lucy tightly, still clearly shaken.

"I'm fine. How did you guys know we were here? And how did you get here so quickly?" Lucy asked in confusion. There had been no sign of any action outside, yet they had somehow opened the elevator doors and arrived just in time.

"Surveillance cameras," Joycelyn said with a sigh. “They tracked your location once they checked the footage. Lucky you weren't stuck in between floors. I don't even want to think about what would've happened. With this height, the elevator's quality is terrible. What kind of shoddy construction is this?" Joycelyn, flustered with worry, couldn't help but vent about the hotel.

The SSth floor, an incredibly high floor, and yet the elevator was so poorly maintained. Lucy had claustrophobia, plus a fear of heights. If they had been stuck any longer, she was sure it could have been life-threatening.

Ellison, hearing this, looked slightly uncomfortab this was his family's property.

He didn't say anything, not wanting to draw attention to the fact that "Surveillance..." Lucy turned and looked at the 360° security camera in the corner of the elevator.

Normally a calm and collected businesswoman, Lucy's expression now shifted to panic. 'Please, tellit doesn't have audio.

After a brief pause, Lucy unconsciously glanced at the man beside her. Haddy, sensing the shift, also looked at the camera for a moment before turning back to her.

"Who booked this restaurant?" Joycelyn asked, frustrated, "88th floor-if anything had happened, there would've been no way to escape."

Ellison moved closer and lightly patted his wife's shoulder, his tane soft and apologetic. "It's my fault. I'll En be more careful next time." Joycelyn paused for a moment, then grumbled in annoyance, clearly still angry.

"It's Okay. It was probably just an accident.” Lucy, still trembling, reassured her, trying to calm herself and her anxious friend.

They thought everything was finally over and things were returning to normal.

But then Sandra, unable to hold back anymore, turned to Haddy and asked, "Haddy what's a masochist? Why did Lucy say you're one?" Her sweet, innocent voice dropped the bombshell. The four adults in the elevator froze in awkward silence. Lucy, struck by the simplicity of Sandra's question, nearly melted in embarrassment. Her heart felt like it had just died a little.

Had Sandra really just asked that with such innocent curiosity? "Masochist? What's that?" Joycelyn, who seemed just as confused, repeated Sandra's question, eyes wide.

Then the two of them, with their innocent, untainted eyes, waited expectantly for someone to explain.

Lucy closed her eyes, utterly mortified, and felt herself spiraling into embarrassment.

10:56 Fri, 21 Feb Chapter 204 She should've just skipped this meal altogether.
