Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 497

Olivia came after completing the call. Her expression was serious.

When Selene saw her, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you talk with Eric?"

The assistant nodded. "He said we have already reduced and cancelled what we could. For the rest, we have to manage."

"Okay."

"It would hardly be taking a week or s—" Olivia paused, suddenly realizing that Selene had agreed without refusing. "You agree?"

Selene looked at her calmly before nodding. "Yes, I did," she confirmed. "Isn't it just a week more?"

Olivia was not just surprised, she was shocked. But she composed herself quickly before nodding and briefing her out. "Yes, there is a photoshoot day after tomorrow and a brand event to attend later in the week. With these two done, we can leave for Cralens."

"Okay," Selene nodded as if understanding it well. "Two events are an easy feat. We will attend them and then go. Make arrangements accordingly."

Of course, it wasn't difficult. Olivia knew it. What surprised her was not it being an easy job, but rather Selene accepting it.

Hadn't she been stubborn moments ago?

Then, what made her change her mind so suddenly?

"What?" Selene snapped her assistant out of her daze when she caught her staring at her. "Is there anything else?"

Olivia shook her head and quickly said, "No, ma'am. I will go and make arrangements." With that, she hurried out.

Once she was gone, Selene's expression changed. The darkness returned in her gaze, and she grabbed her phone to make a call.

Just after a few rings, the call was connected. And the moment it did, her demeanor changed.

"Grandpa," she greeted softly before demanding in a spoiled manner. "You have to help me."

Hearing his precious granddaughter calling out of the blue, Old Martin was puzzled. But he recovered soon and responded, "You are the princess of our Martin family. There isn't a lot that's not in your access. So, in exactly what do you need your grandpa's help?"

Selene paused for a second as if deciding how to put her words. When she decided, she finally spoke, "Grandpa, you haven't treated me to meals in a long time. Don't you think you are caring for me less and less these days?"

A flutter of amused laughter rang from the other end of the call. "Oh, it's just about a meal. No worries, I will ask someone to arrange it right away. I heard you have returned home recently, so —"

Before he could even complete, Selene interjected him adding to the plans. "Yes, we will go, Grandpa. But let's also invite Grandpa Winslow. It's been so long since I have paid my visit to him."

Old Martin halted there. The line went silent for a few seconds before he asked, his words calculated and measured. "You want me to ask Morgan out?"

A glitter sparkled in Selene's gaze before she hummed.
