Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 280 Wanting to Kiss Her

Alex took the documents and shouted inside.

"I'm leaving. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about tonight, including Olivia."

The entrance door closed, and silence engulfed the room.

Raymond stood by the window in the master bedroom, quietly gazing outside.

The vibrant lights of the city spread out before his eyes, and this window provided the most breathtaking view.

But he only glanced at it before lowering his head to focus on his fingertips.

Warm and fragrant, it seemed to linger there, seeping into his pores, pervading his entire being.

Alex was right.

He was indeed still hard, unaware of why.

It was just a woman, why would he suddenly burst into action and pull her back like a captured deer when he saw the panic in her eyes?

In that moment, he even had a thought of kissing her recklessly, imprinting himself onto her very bones.

Was it because he had abstained for too long?

He had never had such thoughts before, not even self-indulgence.

Perhaps it was due to suppressing his desires for too long?

He furrowed his brow, and Olivia happened to call.

"Raymond, is your meeting over? I've prepared some fruit for you. John mentioned that you have another overseas meeting tonight, and it's estimated that it will keep you busy until late." Olivia's voice was gentle.

She had already instructed the housekeeper to prepare. Just now, Alex had sent her a message saying that Raymond might need a woman right now.

Olivia always maintained a certain level of decorum in front of Raymond. In her perspective, she was different from those women who barged into his life.

She was Raymond's only publicly acknowledged girlfriend, so she couldn't afford to be impatient at this moment. She had to replace a perfect excuse. Since Alex had said so, then Raymond...

"You definitely need a woman right now," Olivia's face turned red, urging her nanny to hurry up, while speaking gently to Raymond.

"I'm on my way, don't reject me, okay? We haven't had a proper chat in a long time."

Raymond had regained his calmness by now, as his self-control had always been impressive. He had already stepped outside and opened his laptop. He had half an hour until the overseas conference call was scheduled to start. "Come over."

His tone was indifferent, already starting to handle some documents.

Olivia's eyes brightened, and a smile formed at the corner of her mouth. After hanging up the phone, she quickly went upstairs, took a shower, applied some fragrant lotion all over, changed into a beautiful outfit, and applied light makeup. After coming downstairs, she grabbed the nanny's belongings and headed to the hotel.

But as she entered the hotel lobby, she saw a woman, a seemingly delicate one, inquiring at the front desk.

"Who exactly is occupying that room? Why has it been occupied for so long?"

"Sorry, miss, we can't disclose our guests' privacy."

Alice's cheeks turned red with anger. Since her body had gotten better, she wanted to keep an eye on the hotel and continue to secure a room on the same floor as Raymond. But now she was told that the room had been occupied for the past few days. Who could it be?

Could it be another woman coveting Raymond?

Her brow furrowed, but her peripheral vision caught sight of a woman standing not far away.

Alice's gaze shifted, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

It was Olivia!

Olivia came forward with a box in her hands and walked gracefully, placing one of the fruit boxes on the front desk, gently smiling at the receptionist.

"After 8 p.m., please don't call Raymond anymore to ask if he wants supper. I will come every day to bring him something."

The receptionist recognized Olivia because the lobby manager had already quietly mentioned her identity. She was the future president's wife of the Montague family, and this hotel was under the Montague family's umbrella. "Okay, thank you for Miss Stone's fruits."

Olivia glanced at Alice, not recognizing this woman, so she raised an eyebrow and instructed the receptionist.

"By the way, during my absence, has any other woman come to the hotel to bother Raymond?"

Alice stood in front of her and suddenly felt guilty at this moment.
