Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Jaime thought it over for a second and then nodded. He trusted Callum to handle things well, and besides, Selena seemed to warm up to Callum more than she did to him-she actually seemed to dislike him quite a bit.

Of course, he wasn't entirely innocent. He had always looked down on Selena's timid and submissive nature, thinking she wasn't good enough for someone as remarkable as Everett. But, as it turns out, despite all his experience with women, he had completely missed the mark this time. Selena was actually a fierce and strong woman, and that was both refreshing and appealing.

"Selena, hop in. It's late, and it's not safe for you to head back alone. Plus, it's a nightmare trying to catch a cab right now."

Selena was adamant about not letting Jaime drive her home. She didn't want to accept what felt like a slap followed by a sweet treat from Everett, and she definitely didn't want Jaime to see her like this-red eyes and obvious bite marks on her neck. It was clear to anyone, especially someone as sharp as Jaime, what had gone down.
