Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 853 Why Does Everyone Love Him?

Selena slammed her laptop shut, not even realizing how hard she did it.

Noticing Selena had been zoning out for a while, Fiona asked, "Ms. Fair, you okay? Your face is super red."

Selena touched her burning cheek. "I'm fine, Fiona. You should hit the sack early. I'm skipping dinner tonight. Heading to bed."

As she stepped into the bathroom, Ann pinged her with a work message.

[Ms. Fair, we've locked in the lead actress. Should we go with a newbie for the lead actor? I sent their profiles to your email. Also, all supporting roles are cast. Once we pick the lead actor, we can start filming. I talked to Mr. Newman tonight, and he's ready when we are.]

Selena's laptop was off, so she had to get up and turn it back on to check.

But she was too wiped out tonight, so she replied: [Rest up. Tomorrow's the weekend. Everyone's been busting their butts lately.]

Ann: [Got it, Ms. Fair. Good night.]

Selena put down her phone, her mind foggy. She had a dream about her wedding, but the groom wasn't Raymond. She knew who it was. Her palms were sweaty, and she was freaking out. There were flowers, drinks, and people congratulating her all around.

The door to the wedding venue swung open, and Raymond barged in with a bunch of bodyguards. He asked her, "What am I to you?"

"Selena, I just don't get why everyone loves him."

He asked with teary eyes, looking at her with a mix of love and hate.

Selena was so scared she jolted awake, her forehead drenched in sweat.

She turned on the lamp beside her, feeling like the intense pain from the dream had followed her into reality.

Once the light was on, the unease faded a bit, but she couldn't fall back asleep.

She got up and opened the window, letting the cool breeze clear her head.

How could she have such a crazy dream?

She rubbed her temples, feeling a sharp pain in her head.

She hadn't been sleeping well lately, and with all the stuff going on at the company, her mental state was shot. When dawn broke, she still planned to head to the office.

But the property management at Ashbourne Manor called, saying she was two months behind on her fees.

Since her identity got exposed, Selena had barely been to Ashbourne Manor. After settling the overdue fees, she asked the property management to list the house for sale. Since she wasn't gonna live there, she might as well turn it into cash.

What Selena didn't see coming was a call from property management that afternoon. Someone wanted the house and needed to sign today because the lady had to work nearby.

The property management staff said, "Ms. Fair, can you come over now? The buyer just changed jobs and has been eyeing houses in this community. There are no other listings, and she really likes your place." Selena didn't hesitate, drove to Ashbourne Manor, and called a moving company to clear out her stuff.

She handed the keys to the woman, who looked super satisfied.

The woman said, "Thank you so much. I was worried there were no houses for sale here. I wish you a happy life. I'll move my furniture in right away."

This was the quickest deal Selena had ever done.

But two hours later, just as she was about to sit down for dinner at Ashbourne Manor, property management called again, saying something had happened. "Ms. Fair, you need to come and see this." Selena frowned, thinking the new owner might've done something drastic.

When she got there, the woman who had been so cheerful earlier was now sitting on the sofa crying, with several cops in the room.

Selena still had no clue what was going on. "What's happening?"

The new owner glared at her, her face full of anger. "I knew it. How could someone sell a house so fast? Turns out it's like this. You're disgusting!"

Selena frowned, realizing the woman was losing it, and looked at the cops. "What happened?"

One of the cops pointed to the ceiling. Selena looked up and saw that half of it had fallen off, revealing dozens of cameras, packed in like a bunch of creepy eyes.

Her scalp tingled, and she took a few steps back, freaked out.

The cop spoke up, "This lady accidentally knocked down the chandelier while moving furniture. When the workers were installing a new one, they found cameras in the ceiling. They broke a small part of the ceiling and found it full of cameras. As the previous owner, you should know what's going on, right?"

Selena's mind went blank, feeling so grossed out she wanted to puke.

The ceiling was full of cameras, and her trypophobia was kicking in hard. Who the hell could've done this?

Seeing her state, the cops quickly brought her a glass of water.

But Selena couldn't drink it. Overwhelmed by fear, she ran to the bathroom and threw up.
