Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Mr. Morrison wasn't keen on selling any at first, but with Selena's persistent charm and his friendship with Callum, he finally agreed to sell one to her at a friendly discount.

To show her appreciation, Selena treated dinner for them before she and Callum headed back home.

Their journey was delayed by a traffic jam caused by an accident, so by the time Callum dropped Selena off at Moon Bay, it was already midnight.

Selena noticed Callum looked worn out, felt a wave of guilt and said, "Callum, I can't thank you enough for today. You really went above and beyond for me. I owe you a big dinner sometime!" "Not a problem," Callum replied without hesitation.

He hopped out of the car, went to the trunk, and handed her the bag with the pendant.

Selena took it gingerly, holding it close. She smiled. "Get home safely."

""Will do."

Callum got back in, rolled down the window, and, seeing her still standing there, gave a gentle wave. "Get inside."

The car drove off into the night.

Selena watched until the car vanished into the darkness before heading inside.
