Chapter 274
Aaron was amused by her flustered reaction and nodded. “You’re right.
“You!” Selena pointed a finger at him. “What did I ever do to you to deserve this kind of treatment?”
Aaron replied, “Getting hit on the head with a fire extinguisher really hurt. Did you think I’d be so forgiving? That a few days of care would be enough for me to let it go?”
He got up and approached her. “Back then, Lucas asked, so I obliged out of respect. But now that you’ve broken my vase as well–adding new grievances to old ones–do you really think I’ll let you off?”
As he approached, his shirt, partially unbuttoned, shifted with his movement, revealing glimpses of his chest.
Selena couldn’t help but stare.
Even though she had seen him shirtless earlier, she inexplicably felt her face flush at the sight of his partially revealed chest.
Was he trying to seduce her?
Selena glared at him and said, “I never thought you’d be so petty. Is this how you want to play it?”
Aaron stopped in front of her, noticing the anger in her eyes. Her chest heaved with emotion, and her eyes had a hint of red, making her look even more alluring.
Her usual vibrant and striking appearance was now tinged with a touch of seduction.
A strange feeling stirred within Aaron, but he dismissed it.
Selena took a deep breath. “So, what’s it going to take for you to let this go?”

IS HAUS
Aaron furrowed his brow, interpreting her question as though he were facing imminent death.
“Depends on my mood,” he replied, raising an eyebrow.
Selena stared at him, expressionless, before letting out a cold laugh. I’m done with this. Go ahead and sue me. I’d rather go to jail than play along with your games!”
With that, she turned and walked away.
Aaron frowned.
Was she really this gusty?
Staring at her retreating back, he said, “And what about Aveline? If you go to jail, who will take care of her?”
Selena whirled around, seized his collar, and thrust him against a pillar. “Aaron, listen up. Don’t you dare go after Aveline. If you do, I’ll take you on with everything I’ve got!”
Aaron looked at the fiery woman, with a blend of amusement and a hint of something more profound in his gaze. “If you end up in jail, I’ll have to settle your debts with her. But, in deference to Lucas, I won’t add interest.”
Selena gripped his shirt tightly for a moment before gritting her teeth and saying, “Fine, you win.”
She released him, stepped back a couple of steps, and said, “I’ll stay until you’re satisfied.”
Aaron casually adjusted his shirt. “Then go and do what an assistant is supposed to do.”
