Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 191 The Heart Tightens in an Instant

She called out, but saw the man's head resting on the edge of the couch, seemingly asleep.

Selena breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he hadn't intentionally ignored her, otherwise, it would have been too embarrassing.

Since he was asleep, it seemed that their goal for tonight couldn't be accomplished. She could only get up and leave.

However, her gaze fell on his slightly open collar, and she thought for a moment before picking up a blanket from the side and bending down to cover him.

But just as she bent down, Raymond's eyelashes trembled and his eyes opened.

At this moment, the two of them were extremely close, able to feel each other's breath.

Selena wasn't seeing this face up close for the first time, but in the moment, she felt a bit hazy.

A warm touch imprinted on her lips. Her pupils contracted fiercely, and her body froze.

The warmth on her lips gradually gathered in the middle, and then her lips were kissed.

It felt like countless tentacles tightly gripping her heart in an instant.

Selena was so scared that she snapped back to reality and quickly straightened up.

Raymond leaned against the couch, closing his eyes, as if the kiss just now had been a dream.

Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, Selena felt her cheeks heating up. She hastily covered him with the blanket and didn't have time to do anything else before leaving in a hurry.

In the moment the door closed, Raymond opened his eyes and glanced at the top of his head. He still seemed a little intoxicated.

But immediately after, he seemed to think he was dreaming and closed his eyes again.

Selena walked all the way outside the hotel and was calmed down by the night breeze.

She raised her hand and touched her lips.

The kiss during the truth or dare game last time lasted for thirty seconds.

This time it was probably only four or five seconds, much shorter than before, but the aftermath was much stronger.

She sighed, what is all of this?

Hopefully, Raymond wouldn't remember this in the morning.

After all, she had been meddlesome to go and cover him with a blanket, and with him being a bit intoxicated, he might think when he woke up that she had taken advantage of his drunkenness to act indecently. Selena thought she had already encountered enough frustrating things. Now that her contract was terminated, she could only seek help from Raymond.

She concluded that she had to wait for Raymond to sober up, before discussing it with him.

Selena felt regretful until she lay down.

He was drunk, and the speed of his kiss was very slow, she was just confused by that face and didn't have time to push him away.

If there was another misunderstanding this time, Raymond probably wouldn't help her explain to Mrs. Grace.

We should wait until he sobers up before talking.

The next morning, Selena had nothing to do since all of her orders were canceled.

If the issue in New York isn't resolved, the matter of the Ridgefield sandalwood flooring will also be put on hold.

It was already 11 o'clock in the morning, and Selena thought Raymond should be sober by now, so she made a tentative phone call. Raymond was still in a meeting at the moment and saw the flashing reminder on his phone, causing something to flicker in his eyes.

But he didn't answer, and only pressed the screen to put his phone on silent mode, signaling the executives in front of him to continue. "I'm sorry, but the person you are calling is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."

Hearing the mechanical female voice coming from her phone, Selena felt disappointed and couldn't figure out the situation on Raymond's side for a moment. She tidied up and decided to personally go to the Montague family.

This time, she didn't run into Sofia, but Raymond was still in a meeting.

When John saw her, he told her, "The president's meeting will continue until 5 pm. There will be a half-hour break after 2 pm. Miss Selena, why don't you wait here?"

Selena had no choice but to be escorted by John to Raymond's office and wait there.

Selena sat inside for half an hour and then saw the office door being pushed open. She hurriedly stood up, thinking it was Raymond, but it turned out to be Grace, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Grace came today to discuss matters regarding Carter with Raymond. After all, what Carter did was out of line, so she had to come to the Montague family to deal with it. But she didn't expect to run into Selena. Grace chuckled lightly, "Selena, do you know that Raymond is already married?"

She calmly sat down on the side and put down her bag, "Do you need me to call his wife right now? Your studio had a Jane incident, and I don't think you want another one. Otherwise, in this industry, who would still dare to use your designers?"

It seems that Grace has already heard about Jane's situation.

After all, the police are still holding onto Jane.

If Selena was the mastermind behind that car accident, she would be the one being held right now.
