Octavia egged him on, saying, "It's fortunate you're here, Mr. Cross. My sister can't handle her alcohol at all. I'll have to trouble you to take care of her now." Joycelyn was beside herself with dizziness. She wanted to defend herself, but her words were choked in her throat, and the anger of being disrespected and set up burned in her chest.

He helped Joycelyn stay on her feet in the elevator and told her to try and hold it in. Joycelyn ignored his advice and continued spewing bile.
As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Tommy held on to Joycelyn's arm and dragged her to the hotel room. "Baby, you must be feeling terrible.

The whole time, Ellison continued to maintain a cool expression on his face, but his deep-set eyes darted all around his surroundings, completely focused on getting to his destination.
It should have been at least a thirty-minute ride in rush-hour traffic, but he had cut that in half. At such a dangerous speed, more and more traffic police cars began getting on their tail, demanding that they pull over.
All the warnings were ignored as the Bentley screeched to a halt at the hotel lobby, and Ellison swiftly got out of the car by himself. His passenger, William, looked a little worse for wear, and even felt a little carsick.
He realized that Ellison had brought him along for the ride so that he could deal with the traffic police in his stead.
In the hotel room, Tommy threw Joycelyn onto the king-sized bed and began to undress himself, despite the traces of vomit on him and the acrid smell in the air.
joycelyn's mind raced to think of a way out. "Mr. Cross, don't be in such a hurry. You were right. An ordinary employee likecan only get ahead by finding a capable man for support. A capable man like yourself." With glossy eyes and flushed cheeks, she slowly sat up on the bed and propped herself up with her hands. Her lips curled into a seductive smile that accentuated her defined features.
Tommy gobbled up the sight of the beautiful, sexy woman on the bed right in front of him. His eyes were opened wide and entirely awestruck.
Joycelyn saw her chance and cooed, "I need to take a shower so I can get rid of this smell and gunk. Be a good boy and wait for me.
Tommy immediately responded, "Let's take a shower together then." Joycelyn held back her disgust. "Where's the fun in that? I'll be out before you know it, so get ready forhere," she said with a sultry lilt in her voice.
Before Tommy could make a move, Joycelyn slipped quickly into the ensuite bathroom and locked it. Tommy tried to follow right behind but realized the door was locked and pleaded, "Baby, hurry up, I can't wait any longer." "I will," Joycelyn reassured him before turning to the sink and turning on the faucet. She splashed her face with cold water and rinsed her mouth. Her cheeks were still red, and her lips were quivering in panic. As she looked around the bathroom, her eyes soon landed on the hairdryer.
She picked it up and felt its weight in her hand. "This will do,' she thought.

She took a few deep breaths before she turned the faucet off and unlocked the door. Tommy heard the running water stor stop and immediately rushed to the door, dressed only in his pants, and asked, "Are you all done, beautiful?"
Joycelyn poked her head out slightly and said shyly, "I'm not dressed yet... Could you turn around first?" Hearing tand her soft and innocent voice, Tommy seemed to fall under a spell and obediently did so. 12:57 Mon, Feb 10 0 Chapter 23 3 34/%0 +23) The smile on Joycelyn's face evaporated and she walked out of the bathroom, keeping her eyes on the back of Tommy's head.
"Are you out yet, baby?" Tommy was itching for release and couldn't resist turning around.
In that instant, Joycelyn brought the hairdryer down on his head in a heavy blow. Tommy didn't seem like he was going down yet, so Joycelyn lifted her arms upwards, this tto deliver a backhanded hit.
That did the trick, and Tommy fell to the floor heavily with a loud thud, his fat belly jiggling. Joycelyn was so frightened that she immediately dropped the hairdryer. Her instinct told her to run away.
When she thought about how Octavia had tried to set her up, though, Joycelyn decided she wasn't going to take it lying down. She looked for her phone and turned it on to call Octavia.
Octavia answered the call in a puzzled tone, "Joycelyn?" "Octavia, I just knocked Mr. Cross out. Can you cand takeaway from here?" Joycelyn answered in a pitiful voice and added a few sobs for good measure.
Octavia immediately answered, "I'll be right there. Don't go anywhere." She resolved to get Joycelyn and Tommy in bed together so that she would be able to marry into their family.
