Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 83 Thinking this could tether him for good

His heart unexpectedly softened for a moment. He averted his gaze and said, "Come in."

Selena followed him into his room, fearing that he might change his mind.

There was an additional table in the room, and on it was an open computer and a pile of documents being processed.

Raymond seemed busy at all times, even when traveling here, he still carried various documents with him.

At this moment, Selena realized that him being chosen as the successor might not just be because of his talent, but also because of the effort he put in.

Not everyone is naturally capable of this job and can bear this responsibility. She thought to herself as she consciously stayed away from the table with the computer and casually found a chair to sit on.

Raymond walked to the table, opened the documents, and picked up a pen to continue reviewing.

As he was working, he became even more aloof, emanating an aura that showed his apparent superiority which kept people at bay.

Selena watched his backlit figure, as countless rays of light seemed to pass through him, leaving a blurry shadow on the floor, even his strands of hair had a golden tint. This scene before her made her fingertips suddenly itch, wanting to replace a pen and paper with which to sketch him.

This scene was truly charming, with the interplay of light, his silhouette, and his aura intertwined.

The pain in her stomach didn't seem as severe anymore. Could this be the legendary "a feast for the eyes"?

She was completely mesmerized until someone knocked on the door. Raymond said, "Come in."

John entered with a few small dishes, paused when he saw Selena, and then continued making his way over.

"President, you should eat first. There is a meeting at 8pm that will last for an hour, and then another overseas meeting at 9:30 pm."

Raymond put down the document he was holding, noticing that there was only one bowl. "Get more dishes for Miss Selena." He said coldly.

John put down his meal and instructed someone to fetch another set of utensils for them to use.

Selena, was too hungry to wait for Raymond's invitation, and she began salivating at the smell of the dishes alone.

Just as she sat down, her stomach made an untimely growl, causing her embarrassment and sending a red flush across her cheeks.

Raymond, heard the sound and naturally had a hint of a smile in his eyes. Although he didn't say anything, Selena felt ashamed and wished she could replace a hole to hide in. John feeling the awkward atmosphere quietly backed out of the room.

The dishes were all light and the porridge was made with plain rice, which suited Selena's current situation well.

She didn't dare to trouble Raymond to scoop the porridge for her, so she quickly stood up to do it herself. But she saw Raymond's exceptionally beautiful hands pick up the spoon and scoop a bowl of porridge, placing it in front of her. Selena was stunned. Perhaps due to her low mood today, she didn't know how to react to such kindness, and instinctively looked up at him.

Raymond did it so casually, but seeing the touch in her eyes softened his heart a bit. He couldn't even describe what he was feeling. "Eat up." He finally said.

Selena snapped back to her senses and quickly took the small spoon, scooping a spoonful into her mouth. The porridge was cooked to a soft consistency, and with just one bite, her stomach felt warm. Although the dishes were light, they were specially prepared by the chef for Raymond, using fresh ingredients, which made each dish feel unique in its own way.

The exhaustion of the day was momentarily healed. Selena had a small appetite, but she rarely finished a whole bowl. Just as she put the bowl down, Raymond's phone, placed nearby, started to ring. Seeing the flashing name on the screen, a slight furrow appeared on his brow before he answered.

"Grandfather." He said in a formal tone.

"Raymond, in about two days, I will be arriving in New York. Remember to bring my granddaughter-in-law to pick me up, alright?"

Raymond instinctively wanted to refuse, but thinking about his grandfather's health, he paused before saying.

"Grandfather, I'm still on a business trip and don't know if I can make it in two days. Just have her pick you up."

"Mr. Montague Senior, coughed a few times, 'No, you both must come together, and you should make time to have dinner with me in the evening."

Raymond took a deep breath to calm himself, it was just one meal. Although his impression of that woman had hit rock bottom, in this circle, who wouldn't put on an act?

"Alright, I'll come with her." Raymond finally agreed.

Mister Montague Senior was pleased with his quick agreement and laughed, then he hung up to call his granddaughter-in-law.

After ending the call, Raymond instantly lost his appetite and rubbed his forehead. Selena, who had heard about the grandfather's upcoming return, could already guess that they would meet each other. Because Raymond had treated her well tonight, she even had the urge to voluntarily confess her identity.

"Mr. Montague, actually, I am..."
