Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 221

Jamie's sunflower seeds tumbled to the ground as he stared in disbelief. What on earth was going on?

Nadia was all smiles, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She was convinced no man could resist her allure-not even Everett. She sidled up next to him, leaning in so close she was practically brushing against him. With a playful flick of her hair and a sultry smile, she purred, "Mr. Bennett, cheers!"

She gently clinked her glass against Everett's and took a dainty sip, leaving a bold red lipstick stain on the rim a touch of classic femininity that was hard to ignore.

Even Jamie, who had seen it all before, found himself momentarily ensnared by Nadia's charm. It was obvious she knew how to hit the right notes, seducing with an effortless grace.

Yet, Everett remained cool and composed, sipping his drink without a flicker of emotion.

As Nadia finished her drink, she feigned a slightly tipsy demeanor, softly murmuring, "Mr. Bennett, I'm feeling a bit woozy. I didn't bring my driver today; could you give me a ride home?" Jamie, a seasoned veteran of nightlife shenanigans, immediately caught her drift: Take her home, share a nightcap, and let things unfold naturally-just typical grown-up stuff.

He couldn't help but chuckle. Nadia was pushing her luck, and Everett wasn't the kind to fall for such blatant moves...

But just as Jamie thought he had Everett pegged, he was proven wrong.

With a half-smirk, Everett said, "Sure."

Jamie was floored. Was this really Everett, or was he seeing things?
