Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 186 Finding a Fake Husband The next morning

Selena waited until Raymond left before going downstairs.

She arranged to meet Shelley at the café. "Shelley, help me replace someone to temporarily play the role of my husband." When she said this, Shelley, who was drinking coffee, almost sprayed it out. "Cough, cough, cough."

She coughed for a while and looked at Selena in disbelief.

"Raymond still doesn't know your identity?" Selena nodded and held the coffee cup in front of her with both hands.

In her heart, she saw Raymond as her boss, her benefactor. But she couldn't completely ignore their night together. Besides being too intense and causing her some injuries, Raymond's skills were actually quite good. And that thirty-second kiss, though brief, felt like a hook being scratched on her heart from her throat from time to time.

Selena controlled these emotions very rationally, and even now, her gaze towards Raymond remained unchanged. After finishing Raymond's house, when his ex-girlfriend returned to the country and he explained everything to his grandfather, Selena could retire successfully. She never thought about having any kind of relationship with him, especially since she had a secret in her heart.

Shelley was briefly shocked, realizing that Selena was serious, and began to consider potential candidates in her mind.

Selena looked at Shelley, who was exquisite from head to toe, with her hair meticulously taken care of, and her nails attended to by professionals daily. Additionally, her expensive clothing and bags made it clear that she did not come from an ordinary family. Any discerning person could tell at a glance that she came from a well-off background.

But, Shelley was with Philip and, up until now, Philip believed she was a waitress, someone genuinely simple.

So, was Shelley just putting on an act?

Selena and Shelley's backgrounds and upbringings were completely different.

Back in school, Selena had been framed by others and even after she started working, she encountered all kinds of people, making her cautious towards others.

However, Shelley was like a princess who had come out of an ivory tower, closely supervised by her family. Because of her privileged background, no boy dared to approach her during the school day.

I heard that there were a few guys in the New York circle who were pursuing her, but she didn't have any interest in them. She said those men all looked like elites, filled with financial data, and she was already tired of them.

Philip did have a good-looking face. He was a guy who often made confessions on the expression wall at school.

But thinking back to what happened at the hotel last time, Selena remained cautious and couldn't help but say something.

"Don't you think Philip would suspect anything when you dress up so exquisitely every day?"

Upon hearing this, Shelley immediately broke into a smile.

"Oh, Philip is just a simple guy. I told him that all these things I have are knock-offs, and he believed it all. He even said he would work hard to earn money to buy me designer goods."

Whenever Philip was mentioned, Shelley's face was filled with happiness.

"And, you know what? He has never been intimate with anyone before. The way he exerts himself in bed is amazing."

Selena was not as open as Shelley, and she looked around with a hint of helplessness.

"Alright, I get it. But instead, help me think about my own matter."

"Selena, I don't have many options here. The people I know are all part of his circle. It's inevitable that we'll come across Raymond in the future, and if that happens, you will be exposed. If you really want to keep it a secret from Raymond, it's better to hire someone yourself."

As soon as the words fell out of her mouth, a bright idea came to Shelley's mind.

"By the way, Philip has a good friend whose family background is similar to his, and he is not part of Raymond's circle. He can definitely help."

Selena did not refute. Philip was far removed from the circle she was in, so the chances of exposure were extremely low.

"Alright, help me get in touch with him."

Shelley made a phone call to Philip.

On the other side, Philip held a cigarette in his hand and was playing cards with a group of people.

The atmosphere around them was smoky, with cigarette butts and mineral water bottles littered all over the ground. There were also stacks of cash on the table. Someone made a teasing remark.

"Philip, I heard you recently found a rich girl? Not bad, my man."
