Chapter 8

Her expression was so frank that Raymond felt he might have overreacted.

Raymond stood there still with a cold face, making people afraid to look at him.

During the elevator’s descent, Selena felt it necessary to fight for the future of her studio. Ever since she entered the workplace, she realized that her dignity and pride were worthless. Raymond was a client she was eager to win over.

“Mr. Montague, I still wanna know which style you prefer. I can try it out, and if you’re not satisfied, I won’t charge you.”

Raymond didn’t expect her to be so shameless. He was choked with words for quite some time before he finally said, “But you already have many clients, don’t you?”

Selena didn’t see this coming. ‘Is Raymond worried that I’m gonna be distracted?’ Some designers might work with several clients at once, but Selena always pursued quality over quantity.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Montague. If I take your order, I won’t accept any others in the short term. If Mr. Montague is interested, we can talk more in detail for five minutes.”

“I’m not.” Raymond walked out first, and Selena couldn’t catch up while holding Matthew.

She had to hold Matthew and check where the driver was. Even though Matthew was drunk, he still kept a distance from her.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

As soon as they left the 54 Club, Selena saw car lights flashing twice nearby, followed by a delicate woman getting out of the car. She walked towards them and without saying anything, she slapped Selena in the face. “It’s you, isn’t it?! Always pestering him with questions at his studio?!”

As Selena was holding Matthew, she couldn’t dodge the slap. Her cheek hurt.

The woman was so angry that her chest heaved and her eyes turned red. “Women like you always like to ruin other people’s families. Listen up, bitch! I’m telling you that all Matthew’s money is with me. Even if you’re with him, you won’t get anything!”

Selena almost laughed out of anger. She hadn’t gone to the studio often but knew that several girls liked to pester Matthew. Maybe some did have such thoughts, but she didn’t.

Matthew seemed sober now and quickly grabbed Sarah Clark’s wrist. “Sarah, calm down.”

Sarah seemed touched by a certain nerve as she shook off his hand in one go. “How can I?! This slut has no shame! She knows you’re already married, yet she still pesters you. She even called you out on her birthday tonight behind my back?!”

Her anger swept through like wildfire. She wished she could tear Selena’s face apart. “Such a beautiful girl only ends up being a promiscuous slut who hooks up randomly!”

Matthew felt a headache coming on and hugged Sarah while apologetically approaching Selena. “I’m sorry, Selena, please go now.”

Selena felt it wasn’t his lucky night. Yet Sarah was her boss and senior’s wife. She couldn’t just slap her back, could she?

Raymond watched the scene in his car.

John sighed as he saw Selena over there, ‘They should be grateful that no one else is around. If someone posts them online, they’re gonna get so famous.’

Raymond coldly withdrew his gaze and said to John, “Drive.”
