ReadGoodChapter 810 Only Hearing Selena's Voice Raymond slammed the door shut, worried Selena might throw smore shade his way.
He'd been on the receiving end of her sharp tongue before and wasn't keen on a repeat performance. After closing the door, he lingered for a bit, eavesdropping on the staff chatting with Selena.
"Ms. Fair, fancy a late-night snack? The chef whipped up sspecial corn chowder." Selena was about to pass, but "corn chowder" caught her interest.
"Where can I get it?" she asked.
"We'll bring it to you," the staff replied.
She nodded, and her stomach growled right on cue.
The staff member chuckled. "Hang tight, we'll bring it over." Raymond stayed by the door, not budging. Only when the voices faded did he finally head to the sofa.
The room was pretty soundproof, but he could still hear Selena showering earlier.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA wave of desire hit him, and he couldn't help but think about her in bed.
He never thought of himself as a lustful guy before.
He went to take a shower, and as he cout wrapped in a towel, Alan from Cornerstone Construction called him. "Mr. Montague, the finance department just flagged an error with a batch of material payments. I'd like to go over it with you and Ms. Cooper personally. Can I add the three of us to a meeting group to review the accounts?" This kind of mistake was a big deal for the company. Alan expected Raymond to blow a fuse, but after a few seconds of silence, Raymond surprisingly agreed.
Alan always thought Raymond was a tough nut to crack, but he agreed so easily.
The renovation of Manston Manor had been done months ago, and finding an error now was clearly Cornerstone Construction's fault.
Raymond plopped down on the sofa and saw himself added to a meeting group, and soon Selena's avatar popped up.
He had her as a contact and knew what her avatar looked like.
Selena turned on her mic, and Alan did the same, starting to apologize, "Ms. Cooper, I'm really sorry. One of our finance staff was just found to have issues and has been taken away by the police. The finance department rechecked the accounts he handled and found discrepancies in the payments for the Manston Manor renovation. So I cto you specifically to apologize." Selena didn't expect such a mess from Cornerstone Construction. Financial problems could sink a company, but luckily, it was caught early.
She immediately pulled up the records from her computer and began verifying each transaction with Alan. Alan had invited Raymond just to have him as a witness.
After all, the renovation dough was Raymond's, and he had every right to know. Plus, Cornerstone Construction and the Montague Group had always been tight.
Selena's voice was clear and steady, and she remembered every transaction like it was yesterday.
As Raymond listened, he flashed back to the first night he saw her at Harmony Garden, the way she looked up and called him "Mr. Montague." He lowered his gaze, looked at his junk, and couldn't resist touching himself.
He muted Alan and just soaked in Selena's voice.
Alan must've cracked a joke because she laughed, and Raymond got goosebumps, feeling insanely turned on. Raymond's eyes got a bit red, never thinking he'd do something like this.
As he was about to hit the peak, he couldn't help but let out a sound.
After a bit, he noticed Selena suddenly went quiet.
His heart skipped a beat. Did he forget to mute his mic? He checked the mic icon; it was muted.
He was so close but couldn't quite get there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen Selena's voice cut through, "Mr. Montague, what are you doing? Mr. Hughes has been asking you for a while." Though her tone was calm, Raymond caught a hint of reproach.
He unmuted his mic just for her. "What?" Selena stiffened, wondering why his voice sounded so rough.
"I said Mr. Hughes has been asking you several times. Didn't you hear? If you don't want to listen, you can Her leave". Her tone got a bit sharp.
Raymond was quiet for a moment before grabbing a tissue. He then unmuted Mr. Hughes' mic too. "You two go ahead. I'm listening."
Alan thought he had ticked off Raymond somehow, but seeing his response, he quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Mr. Montague, we've reconciled the accounts with Ms. Cooper. We overcharged you by two hundred grand, which we'll refund to your account." "Okay," Raymond replied; he heard them exchange a few more polite words before ending the call.
Raymond shut down his computer and kept wiping his fingers with the tissue. Just then, he heard a knock on his door.
He got up to open it and found Selena standing outside.
Selena had the staff print out all the material lists from that time. "Mr. Montague, you can have the Montague Group's finance department verify these again." She looked up at him and noticed a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, but also a lingering desire.
Having hooked up with Raymond many times, she knew that when he was turned on, his exes would get red NO with excitement, and he'd say all kinds of dirty things, just like his current expression.
