Chapter 53

Selden’s voice sounded rather helpless. However, he didn’t seem to dwell on the sadness even though he had broken up. He even joked with Ava, so she had no idea how to comfort him at all. Selden smiled, “Well, you have nothing to do with what happened between me and my ex-girlfriend, so you don’t have to think about it too much. If you really feel guilty, maybe you can treat me to a meal later tonight.” “Isn’t it inappropriate for me to have dinner with you for the time being?”

Can you please explain everything to me clearly?” “The Radbury Group has just sent someone to inform us that the advertising project that we had done for them is unqualified. Thus, they want to terminate our contract, and they even asked us

The Radbury Group could destroy their small advertising company effortlessly. “Ava, if you’re dissatisfied with the company or me, you can just spit it out, I can even promote you and reduce your workload!

“It’s not that I don’t want to, but I…” It was just that she was about to divorce Damien, so how could she beg for his help to save her company? “You are the wife of President Radbury!
