Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 204

“I need a drink.”

Only with a buzz could she shove Everett's words to the back of her mind and forget how her heart fluttered like a fool at the mere hint of his affection.

Selena sighed, heading back to the private room. Callum, worried about her, tagged along.

Selena found herself in a cozy corner and reached for the bottle, ready to drown her sorrows. But Callum, ever the thoughtful friend, handed her a cocktail with a beautiful gradient hue.

“This one's really good. Want to give it a try?”

She knew what he was up to—cocktails were lighter and not as harsh on the system. Ah, classic Callum, always the doctor, even when it came to drinks.

Selena craved something stronger but couldn't just brush off Callum's kindness. He genuinely cared, and she didn’t want to hurt his feelings.

“Alright,” she agreed, taking the glass and knocking it back in one go.

Then came the second, then the third… she wasn’t slowing down.

Callum started off drinking with her, but as she finished shots after shots, he couldn’t help but step in, gently holding her hand. “Even if it’s not that strong, you’re gonna get smashed drinking like this.”

“Getting smashed doesn't sound too bad right now,” Selena mumbled, pulling away to pour another glass.

Callum knew this couldn’t continue. As she reached for another drink, he firmly took it from her. “That’s enough. I’ll take you home.”
