Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 895 Jealousy Swells in an Instant

Brenda was shaking with rage. She shoved the check away, jealousy bubbling up like a volcano.

"What the hell does Selena have that makes Raymond act like this? Damn it! That bitch should just drop dead!" Brenda fumed, thinking about how she'd only known Raymond for a hot minute and already scored three million bucks from him. How much had Selena raked in?

Jealousy hit its peak right then and there.

Brenda thought, "If Raymond goes back to Selena, I'm toast. No way! I can't let that happen!"

Brenda made a beeline for Sky Gallery. She'd been working there for a bit and knew some folks.

But her social climbing was so obvious, it made her look like a fool. No rich dude wanted to stick around long-term.

She hit up her fake friends.

"Got any drugs that can off someone instantly?" she asked.

They'd seen rich guys do some ruthless stuff before, so they were a bit taken aback by Brenda's request.

"What do you need that for? Haven't you already snagged Raymond? If there's someone you don't like, just have him deal with it."

"You really think she hooked up with Raymond? If she did, then I'm Raymond's first love."

The room erupted in laughter.

The women there all knew each other, and Brenda wasn't exactly Miss Popular, so she was always the odd one out.

Mainly because she'd backstabbed a lot of people and was two-faced. No one wanted to get close to her.

Now someone wanted to mess with her on purpose. Asking for a drug like that, Brenda was probably looking for trouble.

Suddenly, a woman piped up, "I got some. A few rich guys used it to punish someone who crossed them last time. I was there, and it scared the crap out of me. If you want it, I'll give it to you later." Brenda's eyes lit up. She didn't care how much they humiliated her.

Once she got rid of Selena, she'd be the only woman in Raymond's life.

So after getting the drug, she headed straight to Selena's company without a second thought.

It was already noon.

Selena had just finished dealing with a mountain of paperwork and stood up to stretch.

She'd almost wrapped up all the tasks for the month and had brought in a bunch of teachers to give the new actors lessons in posture and acting.

Andrew's filming had kicked off, and Austin had joined a Hollywood gig.

She could finally take a few days off.

She plopped down on the sofa, just about to catch a nap, when someone knocked on the office door.

An employee from the top floor walked in. "Ms. Fair, someone prepared lunch for you."

Ann had taken the morning off, saying she caught a cold last night and wasn't feeling well.

Selena figured Ann had arranged the lunch and nodded.

She wasn't super hungry. Thinking she had nothing else to do, she planned to head back to Ashbourne Manor early.

Fiona had also called, saying lunch was ready.

Selena picked up the lunch box and opened it to take a peek.

It was a basic homemade meal with some soup.

She took the lunch box and went to Ronald's office.

Ronald was still swamped, so she placed the lunch box in front of him.

Ronald looked up, "Thanks, Ms. Fair."

Selena saw the stack of review materials in front of him. Ronald was the top agent in the company. Even though they'd hired a few more capable agents, Ronald liked to handle everything himself and review all the materials personally. Such a guy made Selena feel at ease.

Selena said, "I'm heading back. You can have this; it should be the lunch Ann prepped for me."

Ronald nodded and adjusted his glasses.

Selena got into her car and started it, planning to head back.

But Ann called just then, coughing on the phone, "Ms. Fair, what are you planning to have for lunch?"

"Didn't you order lunch?" Selena was a bit surprised. Hadn't Ann already taken care of it?
