Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 923

Working life's no walk in the park, that's for sure!!

After Everett left with Alex, Selena glided back into her office. As soon as the door clicked shut, she slapped the documents onto her desk, hands on her hips, simmering with anger.

“That jerk, that idiot! What was I even thinking to fall for him?!"

Watching the scene unfold, Holt stifled a giggle.

After a moment, she chimed in, "Miss, I know Mr. Everett's acting a bit immature, but you know how guys are-they're just big kids at heart. They all act the same when they're jealous. I think he's just being stubborn. Deep down, he really cares about you."

Still riled up, Selena snapped, "He's lost it."

Sure, she hadn't handled things perfectly last time, but what about him? He wouldn't even let her explain, spouted off some harsh words, and then went off to set up dates, yet he wouldn't let her meet anyone else.

What kind of craziness is that?

Selena waved off the thought of Everett. What's done is done. If he thinks he can have it both ways, he's dreaming!

In the car, Alex kept sneaking glances at his boss in the rearview mirror, unsure if he should speak up.
