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?

Selena didn't bother saying anything else and just hung up the phone. It felt like Everett had punched a pillow-his frustration was stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall, leaving him restless.

Jason had initially been a bit miffed that Blaine couldn't make it himself, but now he was thoroughly impressed. He couldn't help but say, "Blaine is lucky to have you on his team, Miss Selena. Have you ever thought about joining Blaine's company? I think you could easily take his place."

Even if he was laying it on a bit thick, who doesn't enjoy a compliment? Selena smiled graciously, "You're too kind."
