Chapter 16
Standing by the bathtub, Raymond's pants were drenched from the splashing water. His reaction was undeniable, and the scattered memories of that night kept replaying in his mind.
Raymond never thought he'd get turned on just by Selena calling him "honey."
His voice came out hoarse, "Get out when you're clear-headed."
Selena's clothes were soaked, clinging to her body and outlining every curve. Her long hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look like a seductive succubus emerging from the water.
The heat in Selena's body started to rise again. She smiled coyly at Raymond, struggling to get out of the bathtub.
Raymond's handsome, stern face showed no hesitation as he pushed Selena back, turned on the shower, and sprayed her with cold water.
Raymond's actions were rough, not gentle at all.
Selena was forced to close her eyes. She had only experienced sex once when she was not fully conscious and couldn't resist the desire brought on by the drug. She was on the verge of breaking down.
Raymond eased up, thinking of letting Selena sober up alone. Before he could get up, she grabbed his collar and pulled him forward.
A magnified face appeared before him, lips touching—one cold, one hot.
The showerhead fell to the ground, and Raymond's Adam's apple bobbed several times.
Realizing what was happening, he got up and walked out without looking back at Selena in the bathtub.
The bathroom door slammed shut loudly.
Back in the living room, he sat silently on the sofa, glancing coldly out the window.
When John came in, he felt the temperature in the room drop, like everything was covered in ice.
He noticed that Raymond's pants were half-wet and hadn't been changed, frowning slightly but not daring to ask. "Mr. Montague, these are the documents needed for tomorrow. The video conference will start in about half an hour."
Raymond nodded indifferently. He heard a noise from the bathroom, like something heavy falling.
He frowned but didn't check.
John glanced curiously at the closed bathroom door. Was it his imagination, or did he hear something inside?
After explaining the schedule, he was about to leave when Raymond instructed, "Send over a set of women's clothes later."
John's face showed a hint of surprise. Raymond, of all people, seemed the least likely to have a mistress. Who could be in the bathroom?
John asked, "What size?"
Raymond recalled a rough impression and frowned. "Just a regular size."
John nodded and left.
Raymond looked down at the documents, not getting up to check the bathroom. Not throwing Selena out earlier was already a sign of his good manners.
After reviewing the documents, he opened his laptop and started the video conference. "Cut out the lengthy reports and focus on the key points."
The attendees didn't dare to say much, guessing that Raymond was probably in a bad mood tonight.
In the bathroom, Selena had been soaking in the cold water for almost an hour, finally clearing her head.
She looked around, her face turning pale, and quickly checked herself.
Fortunately, she was still wearing the clothes she had on before leaving.
Was this a hotel?
She got up, leaning against the wall, biting her lip hard to stay awake.
She remembered being helped into a car by two men, and then?
Her reflection in the mirror still had a blush on her cheeks. She frowned slightly as some fragments flashed through her mind.
It seemed she had seen Raymond, and she even did something awkward.
Selena felt a sudden shock in her brain, especially remembering that she had shamelessly called Raymond "honey" several times.
She felt so embarrassed that her whole body heated up and her mind momentarily went blank. After a long mental preparation, she opened the bathroom door and saw Raymond sitting calmly on the sofa.
Raymond was listening to the meeting report and didn't notice she had come out. Just as he was about to point out a mistake, he heard a cautious voice.
Selena uttered, "Honey, no, Mr. Montague."
Her mind was too tense, fixated on those calls of "honey," and it slipped out.
Selena's nails almost dug into her palms. "I'm sorry, I just..."
The veins on Raymond's forehead throbbed. The microphone in front of him flickered, and the ongoing meeting fell into an eerie silence.
He had an urge to strangle Selena, abruptly ending the meeting and looking up at her with a dark expression.
