NovelOnlineChapter 809 Are You Following Me? Selena got a call from Brian's job. They said he had sstuff left behind, and since they heard someone was handling his affairs, they hit her up real quick. She rushed over and dug through a bunch of random junk to find Brian's things.
Honestly, it was all pretty useless.
Clutching the small box, she started walking from the riverside in Ridgefield towards Harmony Garden.
She couldn't shake the feeling that someone was tailing her tonight.
She frowned, spun around to check, but nada.
A shiver ran down her spine, and she picked up the pace. But she was so jittery that she tripped near the greenbelt and almost tumbled into the river.
She slid a bit, but luckily, it didn't hurt. Just as she was about to get up, she heard a worried voice from the roadside.
"Selena, you okay?" "Selena!" She thought she was hearing things. But then she saw a guy sliding down towards her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe path was super slippery, and it had rained a bit last night, making it all muddy.
Raymond tried to run down, but he was in dress shoes and ended up sliding way past her, one foot already in the water.
Selena was still in the greenbelt, her voice icy. "What are you doing here?" Raymond pretended to brush off the mud and ignored her.
Selena got pissed, gripping the box tighter. "Raymond, are you following me?" "No." "Then why are you here?" "Had a project issue in Ridgefield, and they calledto check it out. Only realized you were here when I got to Harmony Garden." Selena wasn't buying it, gave him a side-eye, and started walking up.
Raymond got up from the river, his pants and shoes soaked, and followed her up the small path.
Selena was ahead but not on the path, so she tripped on a branch and fell again.
The box flew out of her hand, and her chin almost hit the ground.
Raymond quickly got to her, squatted down to help her up.
But she acted like she didn't see his hand and hurried to grab the box.
Raymond's hand hung awkwardly in the air before he asked, "Am I skind of plague or something?" The night was dark, the river was quiet, and spring was coming, but it was still a bit chilly.
"No, you're not," Selena replied.
He was about to relax when she added, "Your family's way scarier than any virus." Raymond was speechless. He opened his mouth but then just let his hand drop weakly.
He stood there for a few minutes before trudging up the path. By the the hit the roadside, Selena was already way ahead.
He didn't dare to sprint after her, keeping a safe distance-close enough to see her, but not too close. When they finally got to the entrance of Harmony Garden, a staff member rushed up, looking worried. "Mr. Montague, what happened to you?" Raymond's suit was a mess, covered in mud and leaves, and his pants were soaked.
"Nothing," Raymond muttered, lifting his foot and heading to his room. As he opened the door, he couldn't help but glance at the room next door.
The door was shut tight; he had no clue what she was up to inside.
Selena sorted through Brian's stuff, set the box aside, then took a shower and got to work on scompany documents.
She tried reaching out to Sophia again, hoping to set up a meeting.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophia was still playing hard to get, saying she wouldn't talk unless Ronald chimself.
It was clear she wanted to see Ronald.
But Ronald wasn't about to go see her. He'd already laid down the law with Selena, saying he wouldn't deal with Sophia Even if Sophia showed up later, he wouldn't take over. Selena texted: [Mr. Moore is currently busy with other artists and probably doesn't have tto see you.] Sophia replied: [Then there's nothing to discuss.] Sophia was fuming when she saw that message.
'Great, Ronald's been gone for how long, and he's already got new artists?' she thought he didn't get еч to SM Corporation soon, would he completely forget about her? Just like senior year, when he left without a word and never cback. Sophia felt a sudden panic, almost ready to accept Selena's offer right then and there.
But would chasing after him all the twork? He didn't like her and was even against marriage.
Selena texted again: [Ms. Turner, please reconsider. I sincerely want to sign you.] After sending the message, Selena went back to handling the documents.
Soon, there was a knock on the door. She frowned, worried it was Raymond again.
But when she opened the door, it was a staff member holding ginger tea.
"Ms. Fair, this ginger tea is specially If prepared for our guests. If you need a late-night snack, please let us know." Selena wasn't into late-night snacks. Just as she was about to refuse, she saw the door next door open, and there was Raymond. Raymond saw her and froze for a moment. The staff member quickly smiled and asked, "Mr. Montague, have you finished your tea? Do you need a late- night snack?" "No, thank you," Raymond said, placing the empty bowl on the tray and quickly closing the door without looking at Selena again.
