After the CEO Divorced Me, He Wants Me Back (Aveline and Lucas) novel Chapter 1008

Orion's face flashed with anger at Larry's comment, but he forced a smile and said, "I'll have a word with Selena."

He glanced at Selena. "Come outside for a moment."

Selena responded simply, "Okay."

Her calm demeanor left Orion with no outlet for his frustration, only making him more furious.

Once they were outside the private room, he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the end of the hallway, his expression livid. "What are you trying to do?"

Selena pulled her arm free and coolly asked, "Mr. Watson, I should be asking you that—what are you trying to do?"

With one hand on his hip and the other pointing toward the private room, Orion struggled to keep his voice in check.

"Do you understand how important this deal is for the company? You’re being so impatient! Can’t you just properly explain the proposal to Larry? You’re still just a small fry, Selena. You’re not in a position to act like you’ve made it!"

Selena calmly replied, "Is it really that important? Because I get the sense that he’s just an amateur. The questions he’s asking are so basic that even a child on the street would know the answers. How does he even have the nerve to ask them? He’s just stirring up trouble."

Orion was livid. "You need to get it through your head—he's the client! We have to beg him to work with us. I really don’t know what goes on in your head sometimes!"

"Is that so?" A faint, sarcastic smile appeared on Selena's face. "Do we really need this deal? Because I’m starting to think otherwise."

Her words had a pointed edge.

Orion’s expression froze for a moment, his eyes flickering. "In any case, we have to secure this deal tonight. If we don’t, it’ll be on you!"

With that, Orion stopped wasting his breath and turned back to the room.
