Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 498

Selena shot him a frosty glance and walked right past him, treating him like he was invisible, heading straight for the taxi ahead. She opened the door, hopped in, and the taxi pulled away in one smooth motion. Sitting in the passenger seat, Alex clicked her tongue softly, not daring to look back at her boss's face.
