Reclaiming Her Heart

When Selena received the message from her father, she felt a pain in her heart.

She chuckled, it's no wonder Alice is so brazen. It turns out that her father is supporting her behind the scenes. Two days later.

Alice persistently waited outside Raymond's hotel room, hoping that he would come out.

Yesterday, Raymond didn't leave his room all day and only his assistants came in and out.

Alice arrived at the hotel early that morning, thinking that today is Monday and Raymond will definitely go to work.

Sure enough, just past seven o'clock, she saw him wearing a black suit, followed by John, walking out of the presidential suite and heading towards the elevator. When the elevator doors were about to close, Alice hurriedly ran over and blocked it with one hand.

She had spent hours getting ready this morning and had been patiently waiting.

Now that she saw him and remembered what happened the last time, she didn't dare to act too bold. She can only pretend it's a chance encounter.

"Mr. Montague, are you also going to work?"

At the moment he saw Alice, Raymond's face turned dark. He has never seen someone with such thick skin in his life.

He couldn't understand why his grandfather was so blind, thinking this woman is sensible and knowledgeable.

A trace of coldness flashed through his eyes, and his lips tightened.

They rode in silence, and Alice could feel the coldness emanating from him. She didn't dare to act hastily.

Raymond's presence was overwhelming, as if the entire space was being compressed.

Alice's face instantly turned pale, she wanted to continue getting closer, but now she couldn't utter a word.

After Raymond got into his car, he sat with his eyebrows and eyes fiercely pulsating.

Only when the car passed the intersection and saw a woman walking her dog on the street did his complexion improve slightly.

Selena had gone to Ashbourne Manor early in the morning to pick up Max and take her out to play.

Now that the business with the partners had been resolved, she also decided to go to Ridgefield tomorrow to resolve the issue with the sandalwood flooring. For now, she had not seen Max for so long, she naturally missed him. Selena bent down, intending to rub his head, but Max seemed to have a radar exclusively for Raymond. When he sensed Raymond's car, he suddenly wagged his tail and ran over.

Selena also saw his car and knew from the route that he was probably going to the company.

"Mr. Montague."

She called out, and saw Max stand up and put his front paws on the edge of the open window, sticking his head inside. That was some enthusiasm. Enthusiasm that even seemed a bit cheap.

As the owner, Selena's face turned red and she quickly grabbed the leash.

"Max!"

Why did he get so excited every time he saw Raymond?

Raymond saw a few strands of dog hair fall inside the car and his brow faintly furrowed.

But in the end, he didn't say anything.

It was strange, he was indeed allergic to dog hair, but this white dog always reminded him of the little dog he had seen in the Montague family growing up. But that was a bad memory.

"Sorry, Mr. Montague. I don't know why Max gets so excited every time he sees you."

Ignoring the few strands of dog hair, Raymond asked her.

"Has everything been resolved with the partners?"

"It's been resolved."

"My Aunt hasn't come looking for you again, right?"

"No, thank you, Mr. Montague. I owe you a lot this time. I'll treat you to a meal another day, okay?"

Raymond's face when he just left the hotel was quite terrifying, but after a short conversation with Selena, he had regained his composure. "Woof woof woof."

Max timely barked a few times and stared at him with shining eyes, seemingly urging him to agree quickly.

A faint smile crossed Raymond's eyes. "We'll talk about it later."
