Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 144

She didn't say a word. She just tilted her chin toward the lunchbox and said, "Let's eat."

Selena seemed to be unbothered, and Everett's lips barely curled into a smile. This strategy actually worked!

However, when he opened the lunchbox and saw the three disastrously prepared dishes, his expression turned sour.

Before he could voice his frustration, Selena leaned forward with a cheeky grin and said, "Didn't you just say you wouldn't criticize my cooking anymore? You'll eat whatever I make, right?" She picked up a fork, speared a piece of spicy chicken, and offered it to him. "Please, enjoy!"

Everett hesitated for a moment. He stared at the piece of chicken for a long moment before reluctantly eating it.

This time, it was Selena's turn to be surprised. She watched him contort his face in pain from the spice as he gulped down a large glass of water and coughed several times.

After regaining his composure, Everett looked at her with a gaze full of double meaning and said, "Selena, I'll finish these dishes. Let's not be upset about yesterday anymore, okay?"

Selena was too shocked to respond. She didn't even remember if she had agreed or not. As she left the Bennett Corporation, her mind was still buzzing.

Lydia was behind her, watching with jealousy. Just yesterday, Mr. Bennett and she had a big argument, yet today, it seemed like nothing had happened.
