Reclaiming Her Heart

As he said, the next day while Selena was reviewing documents at the company, she couldn't help but think of the scene where he remained silent and stirred his porridge when she asked him to explain. Taking a deep breath, she called Ann in.

She had long known that Raymond had a way of softening people's hearts.

"Ms. Fair?"

"Ann, can you help me find out which brand of burn ointment is good and have someone send it to the Montague Group?" Ann didn't ask why and just did as she was told.

When Raymond received the burn ointment from the front desk, he raised an eyebrow, didn't use it, and put it in a drawer. The whole morning passed, and he didn't text Selena.

Selena didn't ask proactively, but he wasn't in a hurry.

In the evening, Lucille arranged to meet Selena, saying they needed to discuss the investment and the actors.

When Selena met Lucille at Sky Gallery, Lucille was wearing a sophisticated women's suit.

Both of them looked like professional women, but their temperaments were different.

Lucille appeared indifferent on the surface, but there was a lazy nonchalance in her bones. Selena was cold inside and out, but had the softest heart.

She noticed the bruise on Lucille's wrist and raised an eyebrow slightly, "Did Vance do that?"

Hearing Vance's name, Lucille raised her hand to rub her temples.

"I don't know if it's because Vance has a lot of pressure in the study, but he seems to have something on his mind lately. He told me he had a good talk with you and that he would improve his grades next time." Lucille leaned back and swirled the wine in her hand, "Ms. Fair, what did you talk to him about?"

"Relationship issues."

Lucille paused her wine swirling and sighed, "I never thought of that. He started school two years later than others and has always been sensible. Maybe he's going through a rebellious phase and has fallen in love. It's understandable." Selena realized that Lucille hadn't noticed Vance's troubles at all.

"Lucille, do you have a boyfriend?"

"I'm currently seeing someone."

Lucille squinted her eyes, probably feeling tired, "I went abroad with him this time, but I came back first and left him there."

Selena didn't want to pry too much into Lucille's personal affairs. A young heart in love was like a blooming dandelion, easily noticed with the slightest breeze.

Even if Lucille was slow to realize, it wouldn't take long for her to find out Vance's affection.

They agreed on the choice of the lead actress, confirming Betty, and then Lucille said she had to leave.

Selena got up to see her off, but as they turned the corner in the hallway, they ran into Raymond and his group.

She paused, her gaze deliberately falling on his hand.

His fingers were thin and fair, long and delicate, but the swollen blisters ruined the beauty.

Around him were Carter, Paul, and Victor at the far end.

Carter, upon seeing her, wanted to greet her but hesitated due to Raymond's presence.

Paul wiped his lips, and Selena felt his lips looked more vibrant than usual.

But Paul didn't look at her, taking a step forward and leaving first.

Carter didn't dare to stay either, knowing that Selena's first love was Christopher, he didn't dare to say a word and quickly followed Victor.

Lucille's gaze shifted between Raymond and Selena, then she smiled.

"Ms. Fair, my car is outside, I won't disturb you any longer."

Everyone knew about their relationship and was deliberately creating opportunities for them.

Selena noticed there was no sign of ointment on his fingertips, "Didn't apply any medicine on your hand?"

Raymond raised his hand and glanced at it nonchalantly, "I did."

She suddenly didn't know what to say, then heard him ask, "Are you feeling okay?"noveldrama

This question brought back fragmented memories of last night, making love twice in the pool, and then he pressed her against the wall in the changing room.

His favorite position was to have her rely entirely on him, gripping her legs around his waist, making her hang in the air, giving him a sense of control.

A blush immediately rose to her face, and when she looked up again, Raymond was no longer in front of her.

Raymond deliberately evoked the images in her mind, creating an ambiguous atmosphere, then disappeared calmly, leaving Selena standing there, still trying to process everything.
