Everett frowned, deep lines creasing his forehead.

A chill ran down Margot's spine, and she swallowed hard, gathering the courage to speak up. "Everett, she just got caught up in the moment when she helped Jimmy act out against your wife. She really knows she messed up now, and in the end, nothing serious happened, right?" "Wendy's been withsince the beginning of my career. She's always been supportive and really gets me. You know how tough it is in the entertainment world to find true friends. She's the only real friend I've got. I promise she won't bother your wife again. Could you give her a break, just this once, for my sake?" Everett drummed his long fingers on the desk, as if he were weighing his options.

Margot moved closer, pleading, "Please, Everett, I can't lose Wendy right now." Everett's dark eyes flickered with a hint of something as he glanced at her and then at the small swell of her belly. Her condition was indeed making it hard for her to manage on her own.

He still didn't give a direct answer but pressed the intebutton. When Derick picked up, Everett instructed, "Make sure she gets back to her apartment safely. Don't let anything happen to her." Derick acknowledged and soon entered the room, politely asking Margot to leave.

Margot felt a pang of defeat, tears welling up in her eyes as she watched Everett, who had already turned his attention to his computer and was gearing up for a video call.

The moment Margot got in the car, her tears spilled over.

Everett used to grant her every request without a second thought, but this the hesitated.

Was it because of Selena? No, that couldn't be it. There was no way he loved his wife! It had to be because Selena held the title of Mrs. Bennett. Wendy's actions poked a bear, challenging Everett's authority, which is why he was so upset. Yeah, that had to be it.

Everett didn't make it back to the villa until morning. He pushed open the bedroom door and immediately spotted Selena fast asleep on the bed.

Selena looked so peaceful and soft. Just the sight of her seemed to melt away the exhaustion from his all-nighter. He walked over, gazing down at her.

He found himself wanting more.

Leaning down, Everett gently lifted her chin with his fingers and kissed her softly.

219 What started as a light kiss lingered, heating him up, and just as he was about to pull back the blanket, Selena's lashes fluttered open, revealing her eyes.

The moment she saw his familiar, handsface, her pupils widened briefly before she collected herself She subtly evaded his kiss, wrapping the blanket around her as she sat up, smoothing down her messy hair.

"Just got back?"

Everett slipped his arm around her waist, his voice low and soothingn "Yeah, didn't expect the meeting to dragon so long, or I'd have been back sooner." His tone carried a hint of regret. Otherwise, last night would have been another unforgettable one.

Ever since Selena discovered the joys of desire with him, their connection had reached a new level, making Everett nearly unable to resist her. Now, Selena seemed like the perfect companion for him, someone he could enjoy endlessly, and he wasn't ready to let go.

Selena lowered her gaze, her voice casual as she asked, "Meetings all night? Nothing else?"

"What else would I do at the office besides meetings?" He replied He replied m without a hint of hesitation, as if it were the most obvious thing.
