Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 381 Slept with someone but still want to dodge responsibility?

So, she took care of the documents on this office desk. His Adam's apple bobbed twice, not understanding what kind of sorcery she possessed.

He lowered his eyelashes and tossed his phone aside without responding.

Selena didn't expect him to reply either as she buttoned up her shirt one button at a time. But even the top button couldn't completely conceal the marks on her neck. He was really quite intense last night.

Selena carefully checked her phone and discovered several missed calls. As for that call record, Raymond had already deleted it.

In addition to the missed calls, there were also text messages. They were from Bert, claiming to have kidnapped Lucas.

She dialed back.

Bert answered, immediately hurling insults.

"You slut, do you know whose bed you were in last night? If you don't come, we'll kill your husband!"

After speaking, he placed the phone in front of Lucas. Lucas was already on the verge of passing out, unable to say a word. Bert slapped him across the face. "Speak up! Tell her to come save you!"

Selena intended to speak, but yesterday she endured it without daring to call out, and after the two hours in the hotel room, her voice became hoarse.

It really hurt. Even her lips had a row of bite marks, caused by herself. Compared to the first time with Raymond, he was even rougher this time.

Bert only added one more sentence.

"If you don't come in one hour, I'll send you his fingers!"

The phone was abruptly hung up. Selena grew anxious.

When she reluctantly walked out of the room, she coincidentally ran into a cleaning lady. The cleaning lady looked at her in astonishment, then noticed the mess on the bed, instantly understanding what had happened. Selena, on the other hand, felt a wave of embarrassment. Although she had long been aware that this society didn't always reward one's efforts.

There were also countless people who struggled but couldn't replace a direction, or who became physically and mentally exhausted on the path of their efforts.

But she never imagined that she, who had always strived to study and refused to give up, would one day walk this path.

Or perhaps, could only walk this path.

After entering the elevator, she felt exhausted and in pain.

Thinking about how Raymond didn't use protection last night, she could only go and buy emergency contraceptives without hesitation, swallowing several pills.

Back in the car, she had already composed herself. She sent another message to Raymond.

"Mr. Montague, can you send me the information on defeating Bert?"

She waited in the car for an hour, but Raymond didn't reply. She hadn't had breakfast yet and was so hungry that she felt dizzy.

She drove to a hot congee shop, had a bowl of congee, and still Raymond didn't reply. Selena sent another message, only a few question marks.

"??"

Raymond couldn't have slept with someone and now wanted to avoid responsibility, right? It didn't seem like something he would do.

Selena took a deep breath and endured the embarrassment.

"Mr. Montague, isn't this what we agreed on?"

After half an hour, Raymond finally replied.

"Didn't we agree on it ten times?" His tone was casual.

Shortly after, he sent another message.

"Last night was just once."

Selena swallowed, feeling a slight soreness in her throat. She never expected Raymond to focus on the wording of their agreement. Her fingertips trembled as she asked again. "So, where will Mr. Montague be meeting tonight?"

"I don't want it every night."

Otherwise, it would be too easy for her to get away after ten days. Raymond stared at his phone, feeling restless.

In the evening, after attending a few meetings, Raymond came out of the conference room and found Selena waiting in his office.

Her face was a bit pale, but her eyes remained calm. It seemed like there were no waves left in her heart from last night.

Raymond slowly sat down and looked her up and down.

She had a scarf wrapped around her neck, and the marks couldn't be concealed by her clothes. Moreover, it was strange to wear a turtleneck in this weather.

"Mr. Montague," Selena said, "I won't go back on the remaining nine times. Can you give me Bert's information first?"

She was in a hurry, but he wasn't, causing her to lose impartiality in this negotiation from the beginning.
