Chapter 134
Selena couldn't quite win over her husband's affection and blamed herself for it. But Lydia was a different story altogether. No man could resist her captivating charm.
With a flick of her voluminous curls, Lydia was brimming with self-assurance. She pulled out her signature lipstick, the kind that stops hearts, and applied an extra layer with precision. Blowing a kiss to her reflection, she adjusted her dress just a tad to accentuate her curves, then confidently knocked on the CEO's office door. "Come in," came the inviting, deep voice from inside.
Lydia stepped in, her face adorned with a flirtatious smile. She admired Everett's striking profile and found her voice had a slight tremor as she began, "Mr. Bennett, I'm Lydia. Thank you for the opportunity..."
Before she could finish, Everett cut her off, not even bothering to glance up. "Go see Derick. He'll sort out your tasks. You can leave now."
Lydia was momentarily speechless but reminded herself that she had a month to work her charms without rushing or upsetting Everett. "Alright, Mr. Bennett, I'll be on my way," she said, leaving the room while casting longing glances back at him.
Meanwhile, Selena wasn't thrilled about having to cook and deliver meals to Everett for the next month, which meant no more sleeping in. However, the notification of a bank transfer on her phone lifted her spirits. Everett had finally paid her what he owed, including the meal preparation money.
Her mood brightened considerably. Despite his infuriating demeanor, his money was undeniably good, and she had no qualms about getting cozy with it! She quickly transferred $100,000 to Joy, who was likely too busy to respond immediately.
Just as she was about to close the messaging app, she noticed a flood of notifications-more than 99 unread messages. Intrigued, she opened them to find that a post she had made about her romantic life had caused quite the commotion.
Initially overlooked, the post gained traction when Everett, who never interacted on social media, liked it. This unexpected gesture drew

Jaime, ever the drama enthusiast, was all over the comments: [Whoa, are you two back on? When did this happen? Did I miss out on a jackpot?]
[Selena, what did you have? How was it? Spill the details! I'd pay to know!] Only Josh seemed genuinely pleased, not only liking the post but also leaving a cheerful emoji in the comments.
Selena rolled her eyes at Everett's like, dismissing it as nothing more than a fleeting whim after he'd had his fill of her company. Previously he'd soften towards her and bought her gifts after sleeping with her, but she now saw these gestures for what they were-temporary lapses driven by hormones.
She'd long since wised up. With a decisive tap, she deleted the post.
As soon as she refreshed her feed, a new post from Callum appeared, showcasing the success of a medical team's outreach in rural areas. Selena, appreciating the positivity, gave it a thumbs-up without hesitation. Around noon, Selena hastily whipped up a couple of dishes, packed them into a lunchbox, and made her way to Bennett Corporation.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
