Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 780

Selena met Everett's gaze with calm assurance.

"A simple 'thank you' just doesn't cut it. So, let me say it again-thank you," she said, her tone genuinely sincere.

Everett laughed in disbelief. "Selena, are you messing with me again? Do you really think I need just your thanks?"

He knew exactly what he wanted, and he was pretty sure she did too.

Selena understood all too well. With Everett, there was never any hiding what he wanted.

She'd heard every word when he and Joy talked to the reporters yesterday. "No!" Everett frowned deeply.
