Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 27

This message was anonymous, and it wasn’t from a friend. But Selena could tell, it was from Raymond.

She wondered, ‘He wanted to meet me at Wolfland? Was this about the divorce?‘ She didn’t think much of it, though, as no matter what happened, she wouldn’t be affected much.

After browsing through many famous works, she had a blueprint in mind. She planned to visit the site of that house tomorrow.

The next morning, Selena drove to Raymond’s company. Since she was to see the house on site, she needed to inform Raymond as the owner. And they could discuss some details.

This was her second time coming to the Montague’s place, but it seemed like the receptionist remembered her face, for they frowned upon seeing her. “I’m sorry, miss, for any cooperation issues, please contact our business department. If you want to see Mr. Montague, you need an appointment. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Selena could still recall the last time she had come here. The receptionist lady thought of her as one of those women who were desperate to see Raymond, waiting for their chance to be with him.

But this time, she was able to handle it. She smiled and said, “I am Mr. Montague’s interior designer, and I just want to ask him a few questions regarding my work. Could you please help me check if he has ten minutes available?”

Hearing this, the lady looked at Selena up and down. Indeed, Selena looked honest enough. So the lady made a house call.

One minute later, the call ended and the lady told Selena, “Miss, please turn right. Mr. Montague has given you permission to his private elevator, so you can go straight up to the top floor.”

With Selena’s identity confirmed, the receptionist became very polite. Her quick switch just showed how annoying it must have been. All those women trying too hard just to get close to Raymond.

Selena walked towards the private elevator. She was about to enter when suddenly someone stepped out. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

It was Catherine! She shouldn’t have been here.

Selena felt uneasy, and before she could avoid her, Catherine had already called out to her. Listen

“Selena? What are you doing here? Trying to get close to Raymond again? Didn’t I make myself clear last time?” Catherine tried to control her temper as much as possible but still sounded

angry.

“Selena, if you want money, I can give it to you. But you and Raymond are no way to be together. I’ve made it clear enough, so don’t push me. You know that he has always had someone in his heart.” Catherine said furiously.

“Mrs. Montague, I’m here only for business,” Selena answered calmly.

Catherine didn’t buy Selena’s words, since she had yet to hear of Selena’s company. After all, it was just a small studio, never the match with the Montague family.

Catherine frowned, her gaze sharp, “Are you using the title of Ms. Montague again?”

Selena félt uncomfortable but managed to be patient, “No, like I said before, I won’t bother Raymond anymore. Mrs. Montague, you can call him right now if you don’t believe me. I haven’t

met him since he returned home.”

Catherine pointed back toward the elevator, “This elevator requires permission from Raymond. And you were trying to enter it just now?”

“Oh no! Why Catherine? Why at that moment? Selena cried to herself.

“I didn’t know this was a private elevator. Would you please tell me where the employee elevator is?” She spoke with a frank expression.

Catherine pointed to the other side and said, “Over there. Selena, I have to warn you this. You better off just for your work.”

Selena politely nodded at her and walked towards the other side. It wasn’t until she entered the elevator that she felt relieved. She thought to herself, “If Catherine misunderstood, it would probably cause trouble for the studio. I have to draw a clear line with Raymond.”

The elevator went all the way up to the top floor, where John led her to Raymond’s office.

Raymond was on the phone. He made a gesture, asking her to sit on the sofa next to him. So she nodded and sat down slowly while trying to be quiet walking in.

Raymond’s tone, however, was slightly impatient. I’ve told you before that I haven’t seen her yet, Mom. Don’t be so suspicious.”

Selena thought, So it was Catherine calling? She did call him, like I expected.

“Raymond, I saw her. She must be here to see you! You should be more careful. Don’t rush into divorce while causing any child–related scandals. The Fairs are cunning!” [1

He furrowed upon hearing this and wondered, “That woman came over? She must come here for me. The Fair family just wouldn’t let go easily…”

He couldn’t get divorced right away. Thinking of that, he got annoyed.
