Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 366 No Worries about Getting Marriage
Lucas had been in his original department for a long time, suppressed by his former superiors, but recently, he was promoted. Despite his lack of educational background, he had always been capable, and after his recent achievements, the president of Cornerstone Construction chose to nurture him.
The moment Raymond entered the private room, Alan Hughes, the president of Cornerstone Construction, and his assistant Lucas were already waiting, accompanied by several other high-level executives from Cornerstone Construction. Alan greeted Raymond warmly and stood up to welcome him.
"Mr. Montague, thank you for coming."
Raymond's gaze passed through a few people and landed on Lucas. Alan, being astute, noticed Raymond's curiosity towards Lucas and introduced him.
"This is my newly promoted employee, Lucas. Please meet Mr. Montague."
Lucas had an unremarkable appearance, the type that could easily blend in with a crowd.
"Mr. Montague, I've heard so much about you."
In fact, they had already met a few times, and he always felt that something about this Mr. Montague was peculiar. He couldn't quite put his finger on it.
As they all took their seats, Alan seized the opportunity to express his gratitude and ordered the most expensive dishes when it was time to choose. This type of restaurant was specifically designed to financially exploit high-profile businessmen, with the bill for a table easily reaching several hundred thousand dollars.
Raymond remained composed throughout, either nodding or raising an eyebrow. Olivia, sitting beside him, could sense his occasional, lingering gaze on Lucas.
After a few rounds of drinks, Raymond set down his glass.
"Lucas, are you planning on getting married?"
His finger tapped gently on the glass.
Raymond turned the rim of the cup absentmindedly, as if asking casually.
Cornerstone Construction is a major player in the construction industry, but everyone is somewhat fearful and respectful when facing Raymond, especially since Lucas is just an insignificant figure.
He never expected Raymond to condescend and ask him personally, so he quickly replied, "Not yet."
Raymond raised an eyebrow, a hint of depth flickering in his eyes, followed by a cold sneer. "I see."
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie, and Alan quickly laughed it off. "Lucas is still young, there's no rush for marriage. But as for you, Mr. Montague, I imagine your wedding with this beautiful and elegant lady next to you must be approaching soon, right?"
Olivia's eyes immediately brightened, and a smile curved on her lips.
Raymond placed his glass on the table and spoke gently, "Fate will decide."
At least he didn't deny it.
Olivia breathed a sigh of relief and realized that her persistence towards him today was not in vain. She had been so restless since Sofia was sent abroad.
At this moment, the waiter brought in a new dish. Lucas knew how to seize the opportunity and helped the waiter arrange the food on the table.
Alan was very satisfied and patted him on the shoulder. "Someone who has a good eye for detail is a reliable person."
Raymond unbuttoned his suit. He had forgotten to hang it on the coat rack when he came in. Lucas hurried over and took his suit from him. "Mr. Montague, let me do it."
Raymond furrowed his brows but didn't say anything.
As Lucas was about to hang the suit, he heard a crisp sound from the floor. Two silver-blue items had fallen.
He was startled and was about to retrieve them, but could only replace one. The other one seemed impossible to locate.
Alan, seeing Lucas bending down alone not far away, asked, "Lucas, what's wrong?"
Lucas's forehead was sweaty and his throat felt dry. "It seems that Mr. Montague dropped something; only one was found."
Olivia, sitting next to Raymond, immediately noticed that it was the cufflink she had given him and felt a bit angry.
"This is the cufflink I gave you, with significant meaning. How could you be so careless?" Olivia's temper within the Stone family was not good, as seen from the incident when she slapped a servant directly. However, she still maintained a gentle demeanor in public.
But this was something she had given to Raymond, who rarely received gifts.
Lucas became even more fearful. "Miss Stone, let me continue searching for a bit longer."
Olivia stood up and glanced at the floor, but didn't replace anything. The item was small, and the surrounding decorations weren't flat, making it even harder to replace.
After only a few glances, Olivia sat back in her seat. "You should replace it quickly."
That cufflink was Raymond's, Alan did not expect that Lucas would remove the item that was placed in the suit pocket. Just as Alan was about to make a request, the door of the private room opened, and Caterlington came in with Selena. The Walsh family's company has had many opportunities for collaboration with Cornerstone Construction. Caterlington, who has recently taken over his father's business, may be skilled in his methods, but he knows better than to take any chances with important relationships, especially considering that Raymond is present.
When Selena was pulled over by Caterlington, she immediately sensed something malicious from the smug smile on his face.
