RedNovelChapter 726 "Think you can bossaround?" "Selena, I'm warning you, if you dare..." Before the voice on the other end could finish, Selena hung up and switched off her phone. Finally, speace and quiet.
Meanwhile, Everett tried calling back, only to be met with the cold, automated message: "The number you have dialed is currently switched off..." He chuckled bitterly, grinding his teeth in frustration. He wasn't the type to chase after anyone. If Selena wanted distance, fine by him. No point in dealing with her aloofness.
Not that he ever lacked female attention. Still, despite his resolve, Everett couldn't shake the images of last night from his mind. Selena beneath him, her dark hair cascading across the bed, her body soft and inviting, her expressions a tantalizing mix of reluctance and desire.

He couldn't stomach the thought of Selena in another man's arms. Just imagining it made his blood boil. Pacing back and forth, hands on his hips, he finally gave in and grabbed his phone to call Alex.
"Find out where Selena is, right now!" At that moment, Selena was indeed at a bar, nursing a drink. Her friendship with Joy had ended so painfully, it was impossible not to feel heartbroken.
Instead of heading back to Moon Bay, she found solace in a bar. Drinking wouldn't solve anything, but it offered a temporary escape from her troubles and heartache.
As she sipped her drink, Selena laughed at herself. She'd never been a strong drinker-just a couple of glasses and she'd be out. But ever since meeting Joy, she'd been nudged to build up her tolerance. As Mrs. Bennett, social gatherings were frequent. If she couldn't hold her liquor, Everett wouldn't bring her along.
During that time, Joy had been her drinking buddy, helping her build up her tolerance. Selena believed Joye had once truly cared for her. But in the end, that sincerity couldn't withstand her feelings for Everett.
Joy eventually used Yasmine to drive a wedge between Selena and Everett, leading to their divorce. She even went so far as to wish Selena harm. Years of friendship, and Joy was willing to betray her for a man.
This was something Selena couldn't forgive. Falling for someone is beyond control. If Joy had confessed her feelings for Everett before any harm was done and said she wanted a chance, Selena-might have been upset, but not as disappointed as she was now.

Maybe heartbreak makes you more susceptible to getting drunk. After a 1. After a few drinks, Selena's head few she stood up, tried to leave, but stumbled, nearly hitting the ground.
Just as she was about to fall, an arm slipped around her waist, catching her securely. Selena blinked her blurry eyes, looking up at the man's sharply defined jawline. "Selena, are you alright?" the man asked gently.
Regaining her senses, Selena steadied herself with Rhett's help. "I'm fine, thank you." After a beat, she asked, "What are you doing here?"
Rhett wasn't in his usual suit today. He sported casual streetwear, which gave him a youthful, energetic vibe. Paired with his naturally striking looks, he was hard to miss. mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
