Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 234

Afterwards, Selena gave Everett a call.

He picked up, his voice playful, “Slept in, did you? Lucky I didn’t pull anything last night, or you might still be stuck in bed!”

Everett’s cheeky influence had toughened up Selena a bit, and over the phone, she was bolder, her words outpacing her thoughts.

“Mr. Bennett, no offense, but even if something had happened, I doubt you could keep me bedridden!”

As soon as the words left her mouth, she regretted it, wishing she could take it back. Sure, giving him a dose of his own medicine was satisfying, but provoking Everett was a gamble that could backfire on her.

Before he could muster a comeback, Selena hung up, pretending nothing had happened.

Right, nothing at all!

An hour later, a sleek black Rolls-Royce Cullinan rolled back into the mansion.

Selena opened the door, expecting Derick behind the wheel, but instead found Everett.

“What brings you back on your own?”

She shut the back door and climbed into the passenger seat.

He leaned in suddenly, his face so close their lips nearly brushed, making her breath catch.

“This kind of thing isn’t something I’d let another guy handle.”

Everett said lazily, securing her seatbelt with a deft hand before sitting straight. He was all business as he started the car.

Selena’s heart raced. He hadn’t even done much, yet she felt all flustered.

She knew he was doing it on purpose, a little “payback” for her phone jab.
