Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena quickly stepped forward, maintaining a professional demeanor.

"Mr. Montague, you have already seen the original design, but there have been some minor changes in the construction recently, so I thought of making some modifications in this area."

Her fair fingertips gestured to the location of the original pillar, without even looking at Olivia. Instead, she focused on carefully examining her own design.

The moment Selena appeared, Olivia squinted her eyes.

Is this the designer Sofia mentioned?

She is indeed quite beautiful.

Olivia couldn't help but want to hold Raymond's hand, but at that moment, Raymond happened to raise his hand and took Selena's drawings.

Thus, Olivia found herself holding onto nothing and awkwardly retracted her hand, giving Selena an annoyed glare.

Selena paid no attention to Olivia at all and simply waited quietly for Raymond to speak.

With one hand holding the design, Raymond rested the other on the black desk, exposing a section of his pale wrist. The veins on the back of his hand stood out due to his grip on the pen, giving off a strong sense of power. This person must have done a lot of strength training during his leisure time.

In reality, Raymond never looked at the design. His gaze remained fixed on her, and seeing that she had not noticed Olivia at all, he furrowed his brows.

"What issue arose in the construction?"

"We have to remove a pillar that will directly affect some of the light and shadow effects I had planned. More sunlight will be received in this area."

Ordinary designers wouldn't pay attention to light and shadow, but Selena studied fine arts, so it was her top priority.

It was precisely because of this that her previous designs satisfied even the most critical clients.

Before Raymond could speak, Olivia interjected.

"Raymond, let me go to the site and take a look. You know I'm a painter, and perhaps seeing it in person will give me some different ideas. Besides, I also want to be involved in the design of this house." She coquettishly wrapped her arm around Raymond's again.

Raymond then set the design down. "Selena, is that alright?"

His gaze still locked onto her, waiting for her response.

Selena was somewhat surprised. Why bother seeking her opinion on a matter like this? After all, Miss Stone was the mistress of Manhattan, and of course she could.

"It's alright. I can take Miss Stone there right away."

Upon hearing this, Raymond's mouth straightened, and his grip on the design tightened, causing his knuckles to turn slightly white.

A few seconds later, he put the design down and spoke in a calm tone. "Olivia, then go."

Olivia's eyes lit up with surprise and disbelief. She thought she would be rejected, considering how much Raymond disliked others meddling with his things. "Raymond, don't worry, I will come up with a brilliant idea!"

Olivia was ecstatic. She was now allowed to participate...

The design of the house, in the future, she will definitely live in it together.

She raised her chin towards Selena and said, "Let's go, Raymond has a meeting and we shouldn't disturb him."

Selena nodded and reached out to take back the design drawings on the table, but the other end of the drawings was held down by Raymond, preventing her from pulling it. She looked up at him in confusion, and her gaze quickly met his dark eyes.

For some reason, her heart skipped a beat, and she hastily averted her gaze.

She tugged at the design drawings again, but his fingertips still lightly pressed on them.

Olivia had already reached the door and, seeing that Selena hadn't caught up yet, became a bit impatient. "Come on, what are you waiting for?"

Selena bit her lip and whispered, "Mr. Montague, you're pressing on my hand."

For some reason, she felt that Raymond did it on purpose.

Doing this secretive little action in front of his ex-lover, the atmosphere became delicate, making her feel a dryness in her mouth and a sense of unease. Raymond raised an eyebrow and finally let go of his slender and beautiful hand, as if he had accidentally pressed it down just now.

Selena took back the design drawings without looking at him. The atmosphere made her ears slightly hot, and she hurriedly walked out.
