Chapter 291 Wait for Me
Charles's head drooped slightly, feeling that he might have disappointed Mr. Carnegie. "Mr. Carnegie, how about giving us a little more time?"
Raymond remained silent.
Charles continued to argue, "It's not that we haven't tried. The main issue is that we haven't managed to get a clear shot of the bodyguards around Mrs. Carnegie. They seem to be specially trained, always extremely alert and cautious outside. We didn't want to alert them, so we didn't get too close. As of now, we still can't verify anything."
What Charles meant was that they had ruled out the possibility of ordinary bodyguards.
Raymond emphasized the words, "specially trained."
Indeed, if they were from a regular bodyguard company, it would be easy to investigate their backgrounds. Since they weren't from a regular company, it was worth digging into their origins.
Typically, top-tier families like the Carnegie family maintain their own long-term bodyguard teams. This provided more peace of mind.
The people around Raymond were all from the Carnegie family's bodyguard team. They would select outstanding talents early on, sponsor their training, and even recruit high-priced security experts or higher-level mercenaries from outside. Of course, the latter was rarely used.
In the past, Francesca rarely traveled with bodyguards. Even when she did, they were usually from the Carnegie family's internal team, whose details Raymond could easily inquire about from Charles.
But recently, the people around Francesca were strangers and not from regular bodyguard companies.
Charles observed Raymond's expression, trying to gauge his mood.
Raymond said, "Keep an eye on them, but don't alert them."
Charles replied, "I understand! Mr. Carnegie, it seems obvious that Mrs. Carnegie has privately hired these bodyguards. If they find out we're investigating them, won't Mrs. Carnegie confront us directly?"
Raymond said, "That's why I told you not to alert them. Just find out their origins and capabilities. Digging deeper might be difficult."
Charles nodded in understanding.
Raymond only needed to know the origins and capabilities of these people to gauge Francesca's security needs.
From this, he could also determine Francesca's intentions.
He didn't necessarily want all the details of the security personnel, just their potential for damage and protection. This way, he could adjust the configuration of his security team to ensure the safety of himself and Paige.
After Charles left, Raymond didn't go upstairs to disturb Paige. She needed time to heal emotionally, and having Xena, the little toy, around could somewhat comfort her.
Paige, yawning while playing a 'little game' to pass the time, felt unusually sleepy, possibly due to a recent minor illness and an injection. Even though it wasn't very late, she was extremely tired.
Paige frowned slightly, "You're too slow." With that, she lost interest in watching further, shut down her computer, and went to the master bedroom to sleep.
It was rare that Paige had already gone to the master bedroom, and Raymond hadn't come upstairs yet.
After washing up, Paige lay in bed and checked her phone to see the status of the bait they had set. Raymond then came upstairs. "What are you looking at so intently?"
Paige glanced at Raymond and said, "I'm checking on the bait we set. When do you think Lily will expose her backer? Her backer clearly knows more than we do. How many more pieces of the puzzle are we missing?"
Raymond walked over, seeing that Paige had already washed up and was lying in bed, gently touched her head.
He said, "Don't worry about it. We have people watching her all the time. Any news will be relayed immediately. You're rarely in a good mood. Watch something light and wait for me in bed. I'm going to take a shower."
Paige looked up at Raymond, noticing the burning desire in his eyes.
She realized that she had somewhat neglected Raymond's needs lately.
Before Luna passed away, when things were stable, Paige was in a good mood, and their sex life was harmonious.
But recently, she had indeed neglected Raymond.
However, tonight, Raymond's eyes were clearly burning with desire, illuminating Paige's beautiful face.
Paige blushed slightly, her ears also reddened, making her delicate skin look even more pink and beautiful.
A shy Paige was simply stunning.
Raymond lowered his head, cupped Paige's face, and planted a kiss on her forehead. "Wait for me, I'll be quick."
Raymond left her blushing even more and quickly turned into the bathroom.
Paige watched Raymond disappear into the bathroom, smiling warmly.
Raymond showered at twice his usual speed but still cleaned himself thoroughly.
Both were excitedly preparing. Paige even dimmed the room lights to a warm tone, lit scented candles, and sprayed a light perfume.
With everything ready, Raymond happily emerged from the bathroom, stylishly flicking his hair as he exited.
As Raymond closed the bathroom door, he lowered his voice, "Baby, here I come."
