Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 201 A sense of embarrassment

Raymond looked around and picked up a disposable cup that had been prepared nearby to get some water.

Lucas looked at the man and couldn't help but feel that he didn't match with these cheap wholesale paper cups. His hand seemed destined to hold a tall glass of red wine. The space seemed to automatically divide into two areas. Since he came in, no one paid attention to the others.

The two people standing in the corner also felt this way, feeling a sense of embarrassment.

Raymond's movements were calm and unhurried, but he had never used any type of paper cup before. When he held it to his mouth, there was a strange smell.

He unconsciously frowned, hesitated to drink, nodded politely to the two people in front of him who were as still as statues, and then took the water back to the meeting room. The male employee next to Lucas nudged his shoulder in surprise.

"Who was he?? His presence was so strong. Our president doesn't command that much presence."

Lucas scoffed, "Even our president lowers his head and bows to others in front of him. I don't know who he is. Haven't seen him before. I don't pay attention to the financial newspapers." The two of them continued to mock their leaders and returned to their workstations.

When Raymond returned to his seat with the water in the paper cup, everyone at the scene fell silent.

The president of Cornerstone Construction even stood up anxiously, a look of fear on his face.

"Mr. Montague, I apologize for the inadequate hospitality."

He signaled to his assistant who quickly brought a glass that had been specially disinfected several times and handed it to Raymond.

But Raymond didn't drink a drop. He just listened to them continue discussing the matters of the upcoming project.

After the meeting, everyone shook hands with each other.

Raymond walked in the front, followed by John. They were accompanied by the high-level personnel from Cornerstone Construction, as they all left the building.

After getting in the car, Raymond remained silent.

John was driving and glanced at the CEO through the rearview mirror. For some reason, he felt that the CEO's presence today was different.

He couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, but it just felt strange.

Raymond was just like before, looking at the documents on his lap with no expression on his face, seemingly focused on the corrections.

After returning to the Rose Garden, Selena rested at home for a while and then received a call from a previous business partner who had recently canceled her order. The order was back on. She breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her temples with her hand.

She also thought about Raymond's injury. For some reason, she felt she should talk to Mr. Montague Sr.

Although she understood Mr. Montague Sr's desire to scold his great-grandchild, punishing him without replaceing out the truth was truly was very hurtful.

Furthermore, she understood very well...

The reason Raymond was willing to tolerate this marriage was solely out of consideration for the old man's health.

Around seven o'clock in the evening, Selena was about to call the old man, but instead she received a call from Fiona, saying that the old man had sent a pile of gifts to Ashbourne Manor again. Selena thought of Raymond's injuries and instantly understood that this was the old man's way of compensating her.

She couldn't help but replace it funny and frustrating at the same time.

After hanging up from Fiona's call, she no longer inteded to call Mr. Montague Sr.

At this point the matter was already in the past for the old man. He was so sharp that as soon as she mentioned the topic, he would guess that she knows about it and things would only get more complicated.

If she had made up her mind to reveal her identity, it would have made things easier. But since she decided to conceal it, she had to think about whether the old man wanted to have a meeting with them, as a couple, after receiving this call. At that time, they wouldn't be able to hide anything, and the consequences would be even more serious.

Selena opened her computer and searched the internet to replace out which scar removal cream had the best effect.

Thinking about those intertwined scars made her feel guilty.

She placed an order for a scar removal cream and had it delivered to the hotel where Raymond was staying.

Raymond heard a knock, on the door of his room, and thought it was John. When he opened it, he found the hotel manager standing outside.

"Mr. Montague, a delivery arrived just now."

The packaging of the delivery bag had receipts on it. Raymond took the bag and closed the door.

He was about to look at the name on the delivery receipt when someone knocked on the door again.

He thought the hotel manager had something else to say, but when he opened the door, he saw a fragile-looking woman standing outside, looking pitifully at him. "Mr. Montague."

Alice's red cheeks stood out against the thin dress she was wearing.
