Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 720

Everett was caught between amusement and irritation. Here she was, cozying up with another guy right in front of him, and still throwing him attitude? But he wasn't some rash young buck; he had the patience to keep his cool.

In a heartbeat, he buried his emotions, managing a sly, barely-there grin. "Selena, since fate has us bumping into each other, why not join us for dinner?"

Selena didn't hold back. "What, didn't you fill up over there? Nearly ordered the whole menu, and you're still not satisfied?"

Everett picked up on her sarcasm but stayed unfazed. "I think the food on your side seems tastier."

"It's the same food, you know."

Acting as if he hadn't heard her, Everett carried on, "I'm sure you don't mind squeezing in one more seat."

Without waiting for a word from Selena or Rhett, he made his way over, dragged out a chair, and plopped down.

Cool as a cucumber, he grabbed Selena's fork, helped himself to a bite, and savored it slowly.

Selena was no stranger to his shameless antics. To the world, he was all polished and refined, but with her, he was nothing but a cheeky scoundrel.

She wasn't really mad, just found it all a bit ridiculous.

Rhett, being younger, couldn't quite hide his discomfort. After all, who'd be thrilled to have another guy crash a candlelit dinner with the woman he was trying to woo, especially when that guy happened to be her ex-husband and quite the catch in every way?
