Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Jamie's sunflower seeds tumbled to the ground as he stared in disbelief. What on earth was going on?

Nadia was all smiles, her eyes gleaming with confidence. She was convinced no man could resist her allure-not even Everett. She sidled up next to him, leaning in so close she was practically brushing against him. With a playful flick of her hair and a sultry smile, she purred, "Mr. Bennett, cheers!"

She gently clinked her glass against Everett's and took a dainty sip, leaving a bold red lipstick stain on the rim a touch of classic femininity that was hard to ignore.

Even Jamie, who had seen it all before, found himself momentarily ensnared by Nadia's charm. It was obvious she knew how to hit the right notes, seducing with an effortless grace.

Yet, Everett remained cool and composed, sipping his drink without a flicker of emotion.

As Nadia finished her drink, she feigned a slightly tipsy demeanor, softly murmuring, "Mr. Bennett, I'm feeling a bit woozy. I didn't bring my driver today; could you give me a ride home?" Jamie, a seasoned veteran of nightlife shenanigans, immediately caught her drift: Take her home, share a nightcap, and let things unfold naturally-just typical grown-up stuff.

He couldn't help but chuckle. Nadia was pushing her luck, and Everett wasn't the kind to fall for such blatant moves...

But just as Jamie thought he had Everett pegged, he was proven wrong.

With a half-smirk, Everett said, "Sure."

Jamie was floored. Was this really Everett, or was he seeing things?

Everett finished his drink, stood up, grabbed his jacket, and headed out, with Nadia eagerly trailing behind.

"Hold on." Jamie snapped back to reality, grabbing Everett's elbow. "Are you serious, Everett? Don't do something you'll regret!"

Jamie had a hunch about Everett's motives. He doubted Everett was truly interested in Nadia. Was this just a ploy to irk Selena, to make her jealous by cozying up to another woman?

Yet, Jaime couldn't shake the feeling that this could backfire, potentially driving Selena even further away instead of winning her back.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

As a friend, he couldn't just watch Everett walk into a mess!

"Stay out of it!"

Everett frowned, annoyed at Jamie's meddling. He walked away with Nadia.

Seeing this, Jamie felt helpless. If Everett wanted to learn the hard way, there wasn't much he could do.

...

The car glided into the underground garage of an upscale residential complex.

Nadia glanced over at the handsome man lounging in the leather seat pretending to nap. His long lashes, sharp nose, thin lips, and effortlessly cool vibe were undeniably attractive.

She was smitten. Despite having rubbed shoulders with countless good-looking guys in showbiz, none held a candle to him.

Even if it was just a fling, it would be a story worth telling.

She peeked at his nose, then his slender fingers, feeling a bit weak in the knees.

"Mr. Bennett," she gently called, "we're here."

Everett slowly opened his eyes, rubbing his temples with an elegant touch, clearly feeling the effects of the booze.

Seizing her chance, Nadia

suggested, "Mr. Bennett, do you have a headache? Why don't you come up for a bit? I can brew you some coffee to help you sober up."

He gave her a calm look.

Nadia tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her graceful neck and dainty ears. She smiled shyly as she bit her lower lip. "How about that?"

Everett kept that mysterious smile, pausing before saying, "Alright."

She beamed with delight.

They got out of the car and made their way to the elevator.

In the shadows, paparazzi with long lenses snapped away, capturing every moment.
