Chapter 164

Selena knew Joy wasn't just bragging. As the head honcho of PR at Bennett Corporation, she was in tight with all sorts of media folks. Her smooth-talking, generous gestures, and knack for getting along with people, combined with the Bennett Corporation clout, meant the press was always ready to play ball with her.

Getting front-page headlines was a walk in the park for Joy, but what really set her apart was how these media outlets acted as her eyes and ears. She could easily get the scoop on anything she wanted and dig into any story effortlessly.

So, she asked, "If it wasn't Everett, why the long face?"

Selena met her gaze with a slight lift of her eyelids, countering with, "If not Everett, who else could it be?"
