Selena plodded out of the company after the others had left, a sour expression on her face all the while.
She only had 100,000 bucks with her, but the dinner and karaoke could easily cost her over 300,000. She felt the pinch on her. 2
However, Selena had no other choice. Had she allowed Sonia to succeed, she would have a miserable time at the company in the future.
Besides, even if it cost a lot of money, she was paid quite a hefty salary. As long as she drew her first salary, she would be lifted from the tight financial situation.
She could not think of a better solution after mulling over the thought for a while, so she decided to call Fiona.
Fane had taken out a million bucks before, after all, and there were roughly 800,000 with Fiona. She could only take some of it from Fiona first to settle the matter.
"Ma..."
Selena called out softly once Fiona answered the call.
"Selena, how are you at work?"
Fiona asked anxiously without waiting for Selena to talk more. "Selena, let me tell you that we have
decided that it is best if you divorce Fane. The sooner the better. Perhaps you should take some time off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to finalize the divorce papers. Otherwise, this hothead guy would cause us a lot of trouble..."
Selena was speechless for a while. "Ma, don't tell me this. I won't divorce him. Even if he can’t fork out 30 million on Grandpa’s 70th birthday or offer us any gift, I’ll still stay with him!" 1
"Why do you need that much just for a meal? How many people are there in your department? Why do you need that much money? Don’t you have 100,000 at hand? Isn’t that enough?"
"You must be hiding something from me, right? Fane must be in trouble again. Did someone ask him to pay up? Tell your mother honestly. What's going on..."
Fiona kept rambling on the other end of the line.
Selena was so angry that she curtly replied, "Ma, can you just transfer it to me now? I'll pay you back once I get paid. I'll give you 100,000 more, alright? Just think of it like I’m borrowing it from you, okay?"
"But how do I transfer it? Fane gave me cash, and I haven't deposited it in the bank yet. Besides, if you don't tell me exactly what you’re going to do with it, I won't give it to you!"
