Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 724

Everett was already in a foul mood, and those words didn't help. He sneered, "Selena, are you trying to tell me how to do my job now?" Who had ever dared to step on his toes like this before? To have him burning with desire, only to be pushed aside, and then come back demanding things from him? He wanted to ask her what she thought he was. Some pushover she could shape at her whim?
