Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 241

His grip was a bit too strong, making Selena let out a few choked sounds before she fully regained her senses. She was annoyed with him and definitely wasn't in the mood for his antics. She caught her breath and pushed his hand away. "Stop," she blurted out instinctively.

Everett immediately paused, hovering above her. His dark eyes were intensely focused on her, like he could see right through her.

Selena's eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly found an excuse. "I have work to do. This article is due today."
