Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 913

Was Selena still banking on Everett to remember their history and give her an easy pass?

Everett hadn't shown up yet, so Selena leaned over to Holt and whispered, "Did you let Alex know?"

Even though Everett was no longer CEO, he still held the most shares, so she'd made sure Holt invited him.

Holt nodded. "Yeah, I did."

Whether Everett decided to show was really up to his mood. After all, Selena's position wasn't exactly earned through the most straightforward means.

Selena waited another ten minutes, then sighed. "Alright, let's not wait for Mr. Everett any longer. Let's get started."

Director 1 snorted, "Ms. Selena, what game are you playing now? Mr. Everett's back. Do you really think we're going to keep following your lead?"

These past few days of taking orders from a young woman had been grating enough. Continuing to do so? Out of the question.

Selena ignored his jabs. She'd come today to resign as acting CEO. She'd never had any designs on Bennett Corporation.
