Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 708 Wouldn't She Suffer Endlessly?

When Selena was the last one in the office, she wrapped up checking the morning docs.

During lunch, she hit up a nearby fast-food joint and ran into Brody.

Brody was chilling with a woman in her fifties, who was clinging to his arm, standing super close.

Selena didn't wanna get involved, but as she was about to bounce, the woman bumped into her and spilled coffee all over her pants.

She was ready to let it slide and walk away, but the woman grabbed her sleeve. "Hold up! Are you blind or something?! You spilled my coffee, now you gotta buy me another one!"

Selena, with her sleeve still in the woman's grip, frowned and turned to face her.

The woman had a mean look, and half her coffee was already on the floor. "What are you staring at? I said buy me another coffee! Do you even know what my son does for a living?! Once he marries a rich girl, he'll be rolling in dough in Silver Bay City!"

Selena raised an eyebrow, and not far away, Brody was still at the counter, juggling a bunch of food.

The woman's eyelids had some serious permanent eyeliner, and her makeup was kinda over the top.
