Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 708 Wouldn't She Suffer Endlessly?

When Selena was the last one in the office, she wrapped up checking the morning docs.

During lunch, she hit up a nearby fast-food joint and ran into Brody.

Brody was chilling with a woman in her fifties, who was clinging to his arm, standing super close.

Selena didn't wanna get involved, but as she was about to bounce, the woman bumped into her and spilled coffee all over her pants.

She was ready to let it slide and walk away, but the woman grabbed her sleeve. "Hold up! Are you blind or something?! You spilled my coffee, now you gotta buy me another one!"

Selena, with her sleeve still in the woman's grip, frowned and turned to face her.

The woman had a mean look, and half her coffee was already on the floor. "What are you staring at? I said buy me another coffee! Do you even know what my son does for a living?! Once he marries a rich girl, he'll be rolling in dough in Silver Bay City!"

Selena raised an eyebrow, and not far away, Brody was still at the counter, juggling a bunch of food.

The woman's eyelids had some serious permanent eyeliner, and her makeup was kinda over the top.

Selena grabbed a napkin and wiped her pants. "I was just standing here, and you bumped into me. If anyone should pay, it's you for messing up my pants."

The woman raised her hand, about to slap Selena, but Selena caught her wrist. "Ma'am, can you chill?"

The woman took a deep breath and started yelling. "What do you mean? You think you're better than me 'cause I'm not rich?"

Brody noticed the commotion and rushed over. "Mom, what's happening?"

He was holding several bags, clearly meant for someone.

Probably for Ann, since her office was nearby.

The woman was almost poking Selena in the face. "This chick here has no manners. I tell her off, and she has the nerve to sass me."

Brody recognized Selena right away, thanks to all the trash Jessica had talked about her. He also knew Selena was just a designer, basically an employee.

"Brody, make her apologize to me, and let's go. Didn't you say you didn't have much time for lunch?" The woman was getting impatient, seeing all the food he bought for Ann, and got even more annoyed. "Are these for Ann? You're not gonna marry her anyway, so why bother? You should be thinking about how to get along with Jessica."

Selena overheard and realized Brody's family wasn't cool with Ann.

Brody then chimed in, "Ms. Cooper, please apologize to my mom."

Selena found it kinda funny, seeing Brody's calm and gentle act, but knowing he was sweating bullets over the awkwardness.

This area was packed with office buildings, and folks had already stopped to watch the drama unfold.

Selena didn't wanna get tangled up with these two and called a server to check the surveillance footage.

Brody, pressed for time and there to see Ann, saw Selena causing a delay and tried to smooth things over with his mom. "Mom, I'll get you another coffee. There are plenty of rude people out there. No need to waste time on her. I gotta be back at the office in an hour."

The woman rolled her eyes at Selena and kept pointing. "You're lucky today!"

Selena just stood there, speechless.

As Brody and his mom walked out, Selena heard the woman say, "I heard Ann got promoted? Her college was a joke, how'd she get promoted so fast? Now she's the assistant to the company's president, so her paycheck must be fat, right?" Brody was about to reply, but the woman kept going, "But no matter how much she makes, it can't touch generational wealth. You should talk to her sooner rather than later."

Brody looked like a total mama's boy, doing whatever she said.

Selena silently followed them, and when the woman turned and saw her, she got pissed again. "Why are you following us!"

Brody tried to calm her down, "Maybe she works in the same building, Mom. Chill out."

The woman snorted, but then saw Selena get into the same elevator with them.

Brody couldn't hold back anymore. "Ms. Cooper, are you doing this on purpose?"

Selena pressed the button for the top floor and said calmly, "Is this elevator yours?"

The woman was so mad she looked like she wanted to jump Selena, but Brody held her back.

"Bitch! Our family is about to hit it big, and this elevator might really be ours! How much can you make working for someone else your whole life? At best, you'll be like that bitch Ann!"

Selena couldn't believe Brody's mom was like this. If Ann really married into this family, wouldn't she be in for a world of hurt?
