Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

As the conversation wrapped up, Selena was just about to hang up when a man's deep, icy voice cut through, dripping with irritation. "Selena, how long are you going to keep up this childish game of playing hard to get?"

He sounded genuinely fed up, his words frostbitten. "If I go ahead and sign those papers, there will be no way to go back!"

Selena was equally done with this pointless argument, her response cool and indifferent: "Why don't you give it a shot and see if I shed a tear after the divorce papers are signed?"

"Irrational woman!" Everett shouted.

With a sharp click, the line went dead, leaving only the cold monotone of the busy signal ringing in her ear.

Selena scoffed. Who was really being irrational here? She couldn't wrap her head around it. He was so eager to replace her with his true love, practically delivering her to another man's doorstep, yet now he was pretending to hesitate about the divorce! Before she could delve deeper into her thoughts, her laptop chimed with a notification.

Selena picked up her laptop and saw an email from the editor-in-chief. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she quickly clicked it open.

Editor-in-Chief: [Welcome back.]

Those simple words filled Selena with a mix of gratitude and guilt. The editor-in-chief had once paved a promising path for her, which she had squandered, yet he had never held it against her. He respected her choice to leave, and now, he welcomed her return with open arms.
