Chapter 349 If Penny Wants to Cling to Him, He Will Accept it
Alex held a glass of wine, looking a bit puzzled. "What do you mean, what is she thinking? I mean Penny."
"I'm talking about Olivia!" Raymond's hand paused, lowering his lashes.
"Oh." Alex found it amusing, stifling a laughter. "So, you're saying in your relationship with her, what you think doesn't matter; it's all about what she thinks."
If Penny wanted to cling to him, would he go for it?
But Raymond didn't want to answer anymore.
Alex was scratching his head in frustration. "Is that what you mean? I was talking about Olivia, and you didn't hear a word. Your mind's all wrapped up in married Penny?"
"I am not."
Alex rolled his eyes and pointed to a woman nearby. Taking advantage of Raymond's tipsy moment, he asked, "How does that woman compare to her?"
Raymond's cold gaze lifted, glanced once, and then withdrew. "Not as good as her."
Alex glanced at the empty bottles on the table. Was Raymond drinking alone in silence?
That was rare.
He quickly took out his phone and started recording. "Raymond, what about the woman on the right, the one with the hot body? How does Penny compare to her?"
Sending this recording to Raymond tomorrow would be thrilling.
But Raymond didn't reply, just squinted his eyes slightly, looking at Alex with a commanding presence.
Alex suddenly felt a bit guilty. Even drunk, Raymond was still so guarded?
But he got it now; Raymond definitely had some feelings for Penny.
Alex had few pleasures, but he loved watching smart people get tangled up in love. As he put it, the hall let him see elites shed their masks and mingle, inspiring his writing.
At that moment, he helped Raymond up, and they ran into Alice, who knew Alex as Raymond's good friend and a famous screenwriter.
Seeing the drunk Raymond, her eyes sparkled, and she quickly approached. "I'll take Raymond home. I came here specifically to pick him up tonight."
This was an opportunity given by god!
Alex, supporting Raymond, glanced at her, smiled faintly, his eyes sharp. "You want to sleep with him? Look at yourself. Do you think you're worthy? Don't use such lowly tricks on him."
Alice froze in place, stunned by his gaze, feeling a chill all over.
Alex took a step away, then turned back. "Raymond is not someone you can mess with, no matter who you are."
Alice felt deeply hurt, trembling all over, her nails digging into her palms.
Alex's words were already very polite. After all, many women had tried to cling to Raymond over the years.
And Alice's face was full of calculation; it was clear what she was thinking.
He helped Raymond into the car and directly sent him to Ashbourne Manor.
And tonight, Selena was staying at Ashbourne Manor.
Since it was already midnight, she and Fiona thought Raymond wouldn't come.
When Raymond was helped out of the car, he raised his hands to rub his temples.
Alex saw that he seemed a bit more sober and got back into the car. "Get yourself inside. I still have to work overtime on my script."
Selena was working overtime alone in the hall, still looking into that $700 million deal for the company, oblivious that the hall door had already been opened.
