Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 864 Incredibly Obedient

The lights in the house were still on, and nobody was moving an inch.

Selena thought she'd be tossing and turning all night, but sleep hit her like a ton of bricks, and she was out cold in no time. Downstairs, John had already shown up.

Raymond had told him to swing by and grab some clothes, and John wasn't about to drag his feet.

Fiona was the one who let him in.

John had been Raymond's right-hand man for ages and knew his stuff.

He glanced upstairs, noticed it was dead quiet, and asked Fiona, "Did Mr. Montague and Ms. Cooper have another blowout?"

Why else would Raymond be in such a rush to have John come over and grab his stuff?

Fiona thought for a sec and didn't hear any ruckus either. "I'm not really sure."

John said, "Fiona, you hit the sack. I'll pack Mr. Montague's clothes and bounce on my own."

It was super late, and Fiona was no spring chicken, so she nodded and headed off to bed.

John tiptoed up to the second floor, trying to catch any sounds of a fight.

But the place was dead silent. He stood outside Raymond's bedroom, straining to hear anything. Nada.

John got the hint that maybe the two had patched things up for now.

If he barged in, it'd be all kinds of awkward.

So he slipped out quietly, acting like he was never there.

Lucky for him, he didn't wake them, and they got to sleep through the night.

When Raymond woke up, he instinctively raised his hand to block the sunlight streaming in.

His other arm felt heavy and numb from being squished.

He was about to move when he turned his head and saw Selena snoozing in his arms, her eyelashes resting gently, looking all peaceful and sweet.

He froze, staring at the ceiling, remembering how he was so wiped out last night that he conked out while changing clothes.

Waking up with Selena in his arms first thing in the morning made him feel all kinds of happy.

He carefully turned over, taking in her face.

Ever since he found out that their night together was her first time, he felt like a total jerk.

When she decided to leave, it was probably because she overheard him talking about divorce. After that, she didn't want to reveal who she really was because she thought he was into Olivia. Turns out, from start to finish, she was all his.

All those other guys-Caterlington, Austin, Richard-were just background noise. Only Raymond, her ex-husband, was the real deal! Selena rolled over, and the rustling of her clothes made her suddenly realize someone was next to her.

She looked up and locked eyes with his smiling face.

She shot up, relieved to see they were both still fully dressed.

Selena said, "Raymond, get up. I'm taking you to the hospital."

Raymond then remembered the lame excuse he used to talk to her last night, and she hadn't forgotten even after a night's sleep.

He started changing clothes, listening to her making calls to the company.

Selena instructed on the phone, "I've got some stuff to handle this morning. Mr. Newman's shoot has already started. Don't buy trending topics for now. First, sort out Austin's deal with Ford. Once the contract is signed, blast it on social media. This is Ford's first time picking a global ambassador, so it's gonna make waves.

Have the agent handling Austin pick his next film carefully. The guy's got talent, so let him work with some seasoned actors first. Also, see if there are any public service ads coming up. Snag one for free to build a good image." Raymond changed clothes while listening to her smoothly running the show for the company.

As they were about to leave, she got a call from Alvin.

Selena answered, "Uncle Alvin, it's me. Sorry about last night. I wanted to call you back but didn't want to wake you. We got the contract on our end. I'll definitely treat you to a meal another day. Okay, Uncle Alvin, take care."

She finished with a smile and then called Sophia, "Talk to the director over there and try to stagger the shooting schedules. Mr. Newman will work with your time, but don't let the current crew know you're filming with another crew. If it gets out that you're juggling two projects, you'll get slammed on trending topics again. Also, the girl who played your friend last time, bring her some gifts when you can. Don't give the reporters any ammo."

Selena personally handled almost everything for her artists.

When she got in the car, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Raymond sat in the driver's seat, and Selena instinctively leaned over to buckle his seatbelt.

He looked down at her hair and couldn't help but lift his hand to tuck a few stray strands behind her ear.
