Singed Once Always Wary

Selena looked up just in time to catch Raymond’s cold expression that lasted only for a second.

A group of people in suits and ties passed her without glancing at her. The man in the lead talked and walked with all his attention on Raymond, wanting to butter Raymond up but didn’t dare to be too aggressive.

Selena felt that they were from another world.

She stood in situ for a while before going out with the golf bag over her shoulder.

Joseph was wearing designer sportswear, and his look didn’t exactly stand out. The white ball made a beautiful arc in the air, and then he holed neatly. Seeing Selena, he handed the club to the caddy beside him.

“Ms. Penny, finally. So hard to meet you in person.

Selena smiled gracefully and sat down next to him, “Mr. Anderson, stop teasing me. I’m just a nobody.”

Meanwhile, some staff not far from them began clearing out. Clearly, some big shot was expected.

Noticing she was looking at them, Joseph boasted, “You know the Montague Group, right? My dad set up today’s game especially to invite the CEO over. If things go well, we may earn at least 3.3 billion dollars.”

Having met various kinds of clients, Selena was no stranger to braggers, and she knew she just had to do echo with him for now.

“Mr. Anderson, everyone knows that the land you bought last year alone cost 50 million dollars. You’re the future heir of Citibank, and I’m sure 3.3 billion dollars is nothing to you.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Joseph’s eyes shone as he said smugly, “Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration. But we’re indeed the first to work with Mr. Montague since he came back. I guess that means something.”

“Mr. Montague’s return has indeed caused quite a stir,” Selena said.

She sounded lukewarm, but her praise of Raymond was appropriate.

Joseph took water from the caddy while walking towards the grassland, and Selena had no choice but to tag along.

Chapter 11

Yeah. Well, a lot of women might be heartbroken. My dad said Mr. Montague was married.”

“Really? He doesn’t strike me as a married man.”

Selena took her club out while responding to Joseph. She realized that he was the gossipy type, and she ought not to be a wet blanket.

“Agreed. If he’s really married, I’m sure he’ll show up together with his wife in public, unless she’s ugly enough to embarrass him.”

Selena was about to make a swing, and she paused at Joseph’s words. She soon quickly adjusted her posture imperceptibly. “Maybe.”

Her ponytail waved beautifully in the air, her skin shining brightly under the sunlight. Joseph happened to capture it, and his Adam’s apple rolled uncontrollably. “Ms. Penny, if Mr. Montague marries a beauty like you, I bet he’ll take you out to show off every day.”

“Mr. Anderson, you’re flattering me,” Selena said.

They chatted casually while playing for a few more rounds. Then Joseph suggested taking a break.

Selena wanted to take the chance to ask him about the design, yet he said before she could do so, “I’ve sweated quite a bit. Wanna go change clothes?”

It was indeed inappropriate to discuss business dressed this way, so Selena nodded and went to take a quick shower.

She had just put on her clothes and come out when someone pushed open the door.

She frowned, thinking, “The changing rooms are all separate. And someone came in without knocking?‘

As she looked up, surprisingly, she saw Joseph.

Joseph had just come out of the shower, and he was standing in situ casually with only a towel around his waist. He didn’t have much muscle, indicating that he had been immersed in drinking and lust for years.

Sensing something was wrong, Selena said warily, “Mr. Anderson, in case you didn’t notice, this is the women’s changing room.”

Joseph smiled while sizing her up unscrupulously, “Has anyone ever told you how pretty you are?”

He approached her with a smile. “I reached out before, yet you were so cold. How come you easily

agree to be here today? Tell me. Do you need money?”

Selena took a step back. “Mr. Anderson, behave yourself.”

Her indifferent demeanor happened to be Joseph’s taste. He was into women who were hard to control, as it would turn him on more when he forced them.

“Relax. Make me happy, and I’ll throw you hundreds of thousands of dollars more.”

Disgusted, Selena wanted to leave, but Joseph quickly grabbed her waist. “I have people in the hallway. You really think you can go anywhere?”

Holding her in his arms, Joseph could hardly control himself.

“I’m not trying to go anywhere. Mr. Anderson, are you sure you wanna do this?”

Selena took a deep breath and stayed calm. She knew she was no match for Joseph physically, not

to mention that he had guards outside the door.

“Citibank made great efforts to get to meet with Mr. Montague. Mr. Anderson, you don’t want

everything to fall apart because of your impulse, right?”

Joseph sized her up before sneering, “Are you saying that he’ll cancel his partnership with us because of you?”

“Yes,” Selena said without hesitation, catching Joseph off guard momentarily.

“Who are you to him?”

“He’s my husband.”

Joseph burst out laughing when Selena said, “Mr. Anderson, if you don’t believe me, I’ll call him to

get him here right now.”

Joseph froze. He pondered, ‘If she’s not lying, Raymond will be here and see her with me alone in

the changing room.

‘She is his wife. No men in the world would wanna see their wives with some other man along in a

room no matter what.‘

He couldn’t be sure, so he didn’t dare to come closer to Selena again. He reluctantly let her go, his

face sullen.

Selena was counting on his uncertainty. Secretly relieved, she took her things and opened the

door.

The second she stepped out, however, she froze.

Even her back stiffened when she saw the figure coming toward her in the hallway. 1
