Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 279 Is Raymond Really That Rude?

Selena tensed up, replaceing it difficult to deny. "Sir," she called out and quickly tried to walk past him.

Alex caught sight of the marks on her body and the Manhattan design plans he held in his hand. Her slightly reddened eyes and trembling fingertips made it appear as though she had been mistreated. "Selena," he called out.

Selena's footsteps froze, and she heard his voice tinged with mockery, "Is Raymond really that rude?" Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she pretended not to hear, lowering her head and hurrying away.

Alex chuckled softly and pressed the elevator's close button. They arrived at the top floor, and he knocked on Raymond's door. After three minutes, Raymond finally opened it.

Alex took a surreptitious sniff inside the room but didn't replace any trace of that post-intimacy scent.

"Raymond, how do you think people would react if I gathered them all together right now and told them that you, a married woman's husband, forced yourself on her? Do you think they would believe it?" Raymond had changed into a silk robe by now, which accentuated his long limbs and radiated an air of elegance when he sat down.

Noticing Raymond's reluctance to engage with the matter, Alex found it even more intriguing.

"I just bumped into Selena in the elevator. She turned as pale as a ghost," Alex said.

Upon hearing this, Raymond paused with the pen in his hand.

Amused, Alex sat down earnestly.

"Did you really go that far? Come on, Olivia is back too. If you really want to sleep with someone, can't you choose someone who hasn't been slept with before? Isn't that dirty?"

There were people in their circle who had a taste for this, specifically targeting those with boyfriends or husbands, but this fetish was looked down upon by others.

Raymond didn't say a word. He signed the document in front of him and pushed it forward indifferently.

"Take it and leave."

Tonight, he had made plans with Alex, who was a top-tier screenwriter. Alex had a script in his hands, and the Montague family had a diversified business empire consisting of luxury stores, hotels, cars, amusement parks, tourist attractions, and more, spanning about ten industries. However, they had never invested in the entertainment industry, which was the hottest sector.

By inviting Alex tonight, Raymond wanted to take a look at the script in his hands.

Alex's script was highly acclaimed, and he happened to be interested in it as well.

Raymond saw the script in his hand and thought about seeking investment. This investment was quite significant, around 300 million US dollars, so he naturally thought of his good brother.

To Raymond, 300 million US dollars was just small case.

Alex took the documents and saw that Raymond had already approved the investment, raising his eyebrow.

"If I don't come tonight, I won't be able to witness this great show. Are you still enduring it? Should I give Olivia a call?"

Raymond's expression instantly turned dark. He stood up directly and walked toward his master bedroom, slamming the door loudly.

Alex sat on the sofa and chuckled. Was this the first time Raymond had suffered a loss?

A few minutes later, Alex narrowed his eyes. There probably wasn't a genuine interest in Selena. Raymond indeed had high standards when it came to emotions. Even when he was with Olivia in the past, he managed to control himself and not go all the way.

After the first time, there was bound to be some lingering thoughts.

Regardless of gender, everyone cared about their first time.

Especially men, even if there were countless other women afterward, they would always remember the intoxicating feeling their first woman gave them.

It was similar to the feeling of tasting the first bite of exquisite food for ordinary people.

You only eat it once, so naturally, you would yearn for it.

But if you were to eat it a few more times, then the novelty would disappear.
