Reclaiming Her Heart

Selena totally blew him off and just stared at Ronald.

Right behind Ronald were Rachel's two bodyguards. If he didn't play ball with Selena now, he wasn't going anywhere.

He chuckled, adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, and said, "Alright."

Selena got what she wanted, but then Rachel chimed in, "The breach of contract penalty is eight million bucks, Selena. You sure you wanna cough that up?" Even if Ronald was a top agent, no way he could bring in eight million dollars' worth of value for Selena's company.

Selena was rushing into this bad deal. Was it because she had a thing for Ronald?

"Mr. Montague, Ronald's thirty-two. He's got that mature man vibe," Rachel said, trying to stir the pot.

It did make Raymond a bit uneasy.

But he played it cool and just glared at Rachel, "She said she'd pay, so can you scram now?"

Rachel's face went stiff, not expecting him to be so blunt.

She forced a smile. "Alright, we won't bother you." She gave Larry a look, and they started to leave.

But Raymond's voice cut through the air again.

"Ms. Dorie, I only told you to leave."

Hearing this, Larry freaked out and dropped to his knees. "It was my fault! I didn't know she was your woman!"

He was sweating bullets. Raymond might be young, but he was ruthless and not someone to mess with.

Rachel didn't dare to stick up for Larry, but Larry was from All Star Entertainment.

She took a deep breath, her lips trembling with anger, but she had no choice.

"Ms. Fair, tonight's mess was on us. Since you want Ronald, All Star Entertainment will let him go without any penalty. As for Mr. Hall, I hope you can let him off." Rachel's methods were shady, but she was smart.

From Raymond's attitude, it was clear that pleading with Selena was more effective than pleading with Raymond.

Sure enough, Selena raised an eyebrow, glanced at Ronald, and smiled. "Alright, thanks for your generosity."

Rachel's fingers curled up in anger, but she forced a smile. "It's the least we can do since we messed up first. Mr. Hall and I will leave now. See you next time." She pulled Larry up and left a message for Ronald. "Come to the company tomorrow to terminate the contract."

Ronald didn't react much.

Rachel's face turned grim again, but she had to suck it up.

After she, Larry, and the bodyguards left, only three people were left in the hallway.

Raymond's gaze finally landed on Ronald.

Rachel's words had made him super jealous.

His eyes were full of scrutiny, but then he heard Selena say, "Mr. Montague, thanks for this time." For some reason, his mood lifted a bit.

At least she knew how to say thanks.

Raymond snorted and asked, trying to sound casual, "You into this kind of mature guy?"

Ronald was thirty-two, Raymond was twenty-four, a solid eight years apart.

Ronald had that mature charm from years of experience.

Raymond's vibe was more dominant and wild. Even though he had a noble facade, once he got fired up, he was relentless. "No," Selena replied.

Hearing her denial, Raymond's mood got even better.

"What did Mr. Montague come here for tonight?" Selena asked.

Raymond couldn't admit he was following her. "Socializing," he said.

"Oh."

"Or did you think it was for you?" he asked.

Selena smirked, "I wouldn't dare. I won't disturb Mr. Montague's socializing."

Raymond lowered his eyes, got quiet, and after a long pause, he asked, "Wanna grab dinner together?"

He was really awkward and embarrassed.

"No, I need to discuss business with Ronald," Selena said.

Raymond felt a pang in his chest and sneered, "Suit yourself."
