Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 275 Are You Questioning Me?

After a moment of contemplation, Raymond lightly tapped the table in front of him, not joining Olivia's conversation.

After a few playful remarks, Olivia heard him say, "I have a meeting to attend."

"Alright, Raymond, take care."

After ending the call with a sweet tone, Olivia's gaze towards Selena became much gentler.

She shared the same thoughts as others, now that they were married, Raymond couldn't possibly have any connection with this kind of woman.

To put it bluntly, Raymond had slept with her so many times, how could he, with his cleanliness obsession, tolerate it?

Olivia raised her chin slightly and started walking out. "Do as I say. Also, I like cloisonne. Remember to decorate the walls and floors entirely with cloisonne. This design is very popular overseas."

The furrow between Selena's eyebrows tightened. Cloisonne was currently the most expensive stone, worth millions of dollars per piece.

Indeed, this shade of blue was stunning, referred to as "cloisonne" by designers, like an expanse of vast sky, resembling the stars with its clarity.

This stone was also highly sought after in luxury homes. Selena's design included this stone, but not covering the entire floor, as it would give off a nouveau riche vibe and lack a sense of elegant luxury. "Miss Stone, cloisonne is among my choices, but it's not suitable for flooring."

Olivia frowned, slightly displeased by the interruption.

"Did you forget what I just said? This house will be where I live in the future, so naturally, it should be designed according to my preferences. Raymond has already spoken. What other problems could you, as a designer, have?" Selena took a deep breath and smiled gently. "Because this isn't Mr. Montague's preferred style. Covering the entire floor with cloisonne lacks aesthetic appeal; it simply emphasizes its costliness."

Selena initially thought that Olivia only wanted a small pet paradise, and she could easily fulfill that request as it wouldn't make much of a difference.

However, for Olivia to want the entire floor covered in cloisonne, it completely contradicted Selena's original design concept. All the design plans would have to be drastically changed!

Moreover, such a design was incredibly hackneyed. Since Raymond pursued art with a higher standard, he wouldn't appreciate this kind of ostentatious display created by an exorbitantly priced stone.

"Miss Stone, if you insist on using cloisonne, I will discuss it with Mr. Montague and request a different designer."

Otherwise, if everything is designed solely according to Olivia's preferences, it would only end up as a waste.

Selena had her own signature style, her unique selling point. Olivia's eyes showed a hint of amusement; this was her intention. She wanted to keep this woman away from Raymond, even if they were to get married. Her face was just too appealing.

"Well then, why don't you talk to Raymond yourself? I happen to know a few famous designers who can easily take over your work," Olivia suggested with a slight nod.

Selena nodded slightly and strode briskly towards the exit, without saying much else.

Olivia stood in place, with Sofia admiring her by her side.

"Cousin, you're really amazing! With just a few words, you made that bitch willingly give up!"

Olivia tucked her hair behind her ear and chuckled lightly. "Someone like her values her reputation the most. If we leak the pictures of this house, no one would dare hire her for their designs."

Olivia nonchalantly brushed off the dust from her clothes and frowned in disgust. "Let's go. I need to change clothes; I have a date with Raymond tonight."

Sofia's eyes turned slightly red with jealousy, but she could only agree with her mouth.

Meanwhile, Selena was quite angry after driving away in her car. She would not allow anyone to make major changes to her designs. Although she had encountered difficult clients before, they had ultimately respected her decisions. Olivia was intentionally making things difficult for her. So, why not take this opportunity to hand over the job to someone else? After all, the initial reason for taking on this project was because her studio was struggling. Now that the studio had overcome that, there was no need for her to endure this treatment anymore.

Selena quickly organized her documents and returned to the hotel, deciding to wait for Raymond there.

Raymond hadn't agreed to have dinner with Olivia tonight, using work as an excuse to decline. As he walked out of the elevator, John followed behind him. John was diligently reporting on the preparations for the meeting tomorrow. When Raymond caught a glimpse of someone in front of the room, he paused for a moment, something flickering in his eyes.

"Sir, those are all the details. I'll go back first and pick you up tomorrow morning," John smartly retreated back to the elevator. As the doors closed, he felt somewhat puzzled. What were these two playing at?

In the corridor, Raymond casually loosened his tie and walked to the door.

"Is there something you need?"

Selena didn't expect him to return so soon; she thought she would have to wait for a long time.

"Isn't Mr. Montague on a date with Miss Stone?" she asked.

Raymond raised an eyebrow and instead of swiping his card to open the door, he raised his gaze to look at her.

"Are you questioning me?"

His tone was lazy and indifferent, with a hint of coldness.
