MainNovelChapter 917 Holt handed over the files and said, "Hey, Ms. Selena, the supplier's invited you to dinner tonight. Are you free?" Selena didn't hesitate, "Absolutely. This supplier is key for us. If we nail this deal, Irwin Enterprise's stock could double in the next year. We have to roll out the red carpet for them." Holt nodded, "Got it." Fast forward to 8 PM at Newport's top-notch restaurant.
Selena was hosting the supplier, Justin, in a VIP suite. He was around her age, brimming with confidence and sporting a scholarly look with his glasses.
The moment Justin saw Selena, he beamed, "Jason kept tellingthat while Ms. Selena is quite the beauty, her skills are even more impressive. I was curious about the person who could earn such high praise from Jason, and now that I'm here..." He paused on purpose.
Selena laughed lightly and chimed in, "So, what do you think? Am I a letdown?" Justin shook his head, "Not at all. If anything, Jason was being modest." His gaze was full of open admiration, not hiding his appreciation for her.

After discussing business, Justin took a sip of his tea and, with a rare touch of bashfulness, asked, "Ms. Selena, mind if I ask, are you seeing anyone?" His openness was met with Selena's candidness, "Nope, I'm divorced and have two kids. The older one's just over five, the younger almost two." Having spent many years abroad and only recently back in Newport, Justin wasn't up to speed with local gossip, so he didn't immediately link Selena to the former Mrs. Bennett.
He was just taken aback by her response.
Selena looked so young and graceful, it was hard to imagine she had kids that age.
But he wasn't discouraged. Being in his thirties and with a previous marriage behind him-amicable but childless- he was feeling the family pressure and was keen to explore this promising connection.
"Would you ever think about getting married again, Ms. Selena? I happen to be fond of kids." Selena was momentarily surprised by his directness.
She wasn't against the idea, but right now, she wasn't ready to dive into a new relationship. She politely turned him down.
Justin nodded, understanding, "I get it. But with our upcoming work together, we'll have plenty of C to see each other. I'm not giving up that easily."
After a satisfying dinner, as Justin and Selena left the suite, they am unexpectedly crossed paths with Everett and a stunningly elegant woman exiting from the other side of the restaurant lobby. The woman was in a breathtaking evening gown, her hair styled to perfection, effortlessly catching the eyes of passersby.

She was linked arm-in-arm with Everett, and they looked every bit the perfect pain oozing charm and En.
elegance. Selena glanced up and froze for a moment.
Running into Everett here with someone else was the last thing she expected.
It felt like fate was having a laugh.
At the stime, Everett's dark eyes landed on Selena and the man next to her. His gaze narrowed slightly.
