Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 131 Always Trying to Seduce Others
Raymond's hand was bandaged when he arrived at the Montague family and immediately ran into Sofia. Sofia didn't dare to be as presumptuous as before, only staring worriedly at his hand. "Cousin... Mr. Montague, what happened to your hand?"
Raymond furrowed his brow and brushed it off, saying, "It's injured."
Without saying anything more, he entered his office. Sofia's expression turned sour. Just then, someone from the front desk came and knocked on the door, wanting to enter the office. Sofia quickly stopped them.
"If you're not a high-level executive or have an appointment, you can't just go in."
The front desk lady was quite pretty, as being able to work at the front desk of the Montague family required exceptional appearance.
"Miss Stone, someone has sent a gift to the CEO and asked me to bring it up."
Sofia became even more displeased and snatched it away.
"I'll take it up myself, you can go back to your post."
Her words were somewhat insulting, but Sofia was used to being arrogant in the Montague family and there was rarely anyone who dared to speak up to her.
As the high-level executives passed by the front desk, they would occasionally greet the front desk with a smile.
Only Sofia, an ordinary employee, always looked down on others. The front desk lady dared not argue but only explained briefly,
"It was sent by the president's designer as compensation for the loss at the hotel last night."
Sofia's pupils instantly widened in disbelief and she exclaimed, "What hotel?!" The front desk lady was startled by her sudden raised voice, but seeing the distortion on Sofia's face, she inexplicably felt satisfied.
In fact, she didn't know the specific details, but at this moment, she intentionally exaggerated.
"The designer accidentally knocked over something in the president's hotel suite, so he bought these cufflinks as compensation. They must have stayed in the same suite last night."
Little did she know, her random fabrication happened to be the truth. Sofia was immediately infuriated and gritted her teeth.
"That bitch! She just knows how to mess around with people!"
She wanted to throw away the cufflinks in her hand, feeling dirty. But she didn't dare to handle Raymond's belongings without permission, so she could only turn around and enter the president's office with a huff. The front desk lady sneered and went downstairs.
Once Sofia entered, her face returned to a smiling expression.
"Mr. Montague, this is what Miss Selena sent, saying it's compensation for last night at the hotel."
She deliberately spoke ambiguously, intentionally arousing Raymond's resentment towards Selena. Raymond furrowed his eyebrows, took the box, and saw the beautiful cufflinks inside, which were not cheap.
She was currently burdened with millions of debts, yet she still managed to afford buying something like this. Sofia pursed her lips on the side and continued.
"But Miss Selena tends to speak without a filter. It's better not to say too much in front of the front desk lady next time, otherwise the rumors between you and her might spread throughout the entire Montague family." Raymond threw the cufflinks aside, not looking very pleased. "Mr. Montague, is it true that you and her..."
"It's working hours now. If you can't figure out what you're here for in the Montague family, go submit your resignation."
Sofia's nose twisted with anger, trembling all over. She gritted her teeth and stormed out, and as soon as the door closed, her face twisted in an incredibly distorted manner. That bitch! Damn it!
Raymond dealt with some documents for a while, and caught sight of the cufflinks out of the corner of his eye. Coldly, he raised his hand and tossed them directly into a corner drawer. Just then, his phone rang-it was a message from Selena. [Mr. Montague, have you received the package?] Raymond didn't reply. Selena didn't expect a response from him either, so she turned off her phone and poured water for James, who was lying on the bed.
James looked extremely displeased and slapped away the glass of water she offered. "Explain properly why you didn't go to the Montague family banquet. Alice said you got off the car halfway and mentioned that you saw Jacob. Do you still have contact with him?!"
Last time, Selena had voluntarily admitted to still being in contact with Brian, so to answer James...
James was already unhappy. This time he found out that Selena had actually missed the Montague family's banquet because of such a trivial thing, and he was so enraged that he was trembling all over.
"What are you coming to see me for?! You might as well just make me angry to death!"
