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

"Mr. Dean! Mr. Dean!"

Orion quickly stood up and rushed after him. As he reached the door, he shot a furious glare at Selena.

Selena pretended not to notice and continued enjoying her meal. With those two annoying men gone, she felt completely at ease and happily indulged in her food. The two young women, still seated, exchanged confused glances, unsure of what to do next.

Seeing their hesitation, Selena said, "Go ahead, enjoy yourselves. Since I called you here, this is your time now. Do whatever you want."

The two girls' eyes lit up at her words.

"Thank you, Miss!" one of them said gratefully.

Selena waved her hand casually, "No need to be so polite, dig in!"

The two women gladly picked up their utensils and joined in on the meal. Eating and relaxing was far better than entertaining men and dealing with unwanted advances. Just then, Selena's phone rang, and she answered the call.

"I found out that your boss and that guy Larry were bribed by Nathalie Fletcher. It seems like they were planning something against you," Maria's voice came through. Selena replied, "Yeah, I figured it out. Their intentions were way too obvious-I'm not stupid."

Maria chuckled. "So, what are you planning to do next?"

Selena's eyes flashed with mischief as she asked, "Did you manage to dig up any more info on that guy Larry?"

Maria responded, "Got everything. I'll send it to your email."

"Great, love you, kisses!" Selena said playfully.

Maria was speechless.

After hanging up the phone, Selena continued eating with a smile. When she finally left, her phone was flooded with messages from Orion, angrily demanding that she fix the situation, apologize to Larry, and salvage the deal-or else she was fired. How utterly boring.

Selena sat in her car, reviewing the files Maria had sent her. The more she read, the wider her eyes grew. This Larry guy-he was involved in some serious dirt! And, on top of that, he had a wife! "Disgusting!" she muttered, closing the email in disgust, her mind already formulating the next steps.

The real challenge wasn't Larry or even Orion-it was the Fletcher family. Lila's sudden reappearance had shattered the fragile balance of peace Selena had painstakingly maintained with the Fletchers.

The Fletcher family showed no limits in their favoritism toward Lila. As long as Lila was happy, they were willing to do anything for her, while Selena had become the thorn in their side, the source of their constant displeasure. What would they do with someone like her? It was obvious-they'd want her gone, as soon as possible.

Her safety was now a serious concern.

Selena dialed Aaron's number.

However, Aaron was in the middle of a meeting, and it was his assistant, Rudy Maxwell, who answered the phone.

"Mrs. Fletcher, how about you come to the office and wait for him? Mr. Fletcher's not in the best mood today, but if you're here, it might help lift his spirits."

After a moment of thought, Selena replied, "Alright."

She hung up and was about to start the car when a sense of unease crept in. Something didn't feel right. Pausing for a second, she decided to call Aveline instead. "Ave, do you have anyone in Cloudflare City? I need a few people for protection," Selena got straight to the point.

Aveline responded, "I do. What's going on?"

Selena replied, "Just being cautious. It's always good to be prepared for anything."

Aveline quickly said, "Send me your location. I'll get in touch with someone immediately to come and watch over you."

"Perfect," Selena agreed.

After sending her location, she turned off the car engine and waited. About ten minutes later, she received a message from Aveline. "My people are in position."
