Chapter 16 Mr. Montague Raymond stood by the bathtub, his suit pants wet from the splashing water. His physical reaction gave him away, and the vague memories from that night only made things worse.

It had never occurred to him that he would get hard just because a woman called him honey.

"If so, get out." Even his voice was hoarse.

Selena's clothes were completely wet, outlining each part of her body clearly. With her long black hair clung to her cheeks, she looked like a mermaid emerging from the sea out of the blue, innocent yet seductive.

She began to feel hot again. Smiling at Raymond, she struggled to get out of the tub.

Raymon pushed her back in without any hesitation. Then he turned on the showerhead, spraying cold water all over her.

He was not at all gentle. In fact, he was quite rude.

Selena had to keep her eyes closed. She had only had sex once, and it happened when she couldn't think straight, so of course, she couldn't resist the heat after the drug kicked in at all. She felt so uncomfortable that she was about to collapse. Raymond eased up on his strength, wanting her to sober up here on her own. However, before he stood up, she grabbed his collar, causing him to lean forward.

Her face was right in front of him, and in the next second, they kissed. One of their lips was cold, the other hot. A dull sound rang out.

The showerhead fell onto the floor as Raymond's Adam's apple rolled a few times.

The second he cback to his senses, he stood up and walked out, not even glancing at the woman in the tub. He shut the door with great force, causing a loud noise.

Back in the living room, he sat silently on the couch and glanced sideways outside the window.

When John walked in, the temperature in the room was so low that everything seemed to be freezing.

He noticed that Raymond's trousers were half wet. He frowned but didn't dare to ask.

"Mr. Montague, these are the files you need for tomorrow. The online meeting will start in about half an hour." Raymond nodded nonchalantly and heard a sound coming from the bathroom. Perhaps something heavy fell to the floor.

He frowned but didn't do anything.

John heard the sound, too. Puzzled, he glanced at the closed bathroom door, wondering if he was hearing things. After briefing Raymond on his schedule, John was about to leave. To his surprise, Raymond instructed, "Send a set of women's clothing later." John was very surprised, thinking, 'No way Mr. Montague is with any woman. Who's in there?' "What size?" Selena's figure emerged in Raymond's mind vaguely. He frowned. "Average size will be fine." John nodded and left.

Raymond lowered his head to read the files instead of checking up on Selena in the bathroom. He figured that she should be grateful he was gentlemanly enough not to kick her out. After reviewing the files John had sent him, he turned on the laptop he carried everywhere and began the online meeting.

"Toss out the reports full of crap. Focus on key points," he said sternly.

None of the participants dared to say anything, as they could tell that their boss wasn't in a good mood tonight.

In the bathroom, Selena was soaked in cold water for almost an hour and finally sobered up.

She looked around and was instantly pale. She hurriedly lowered her head to look at herself, thinking, 'I'm glad I'm still wearing the clothes before I left the apartment. 'Where am I? Is this the hotel?' She stood up against the wall, biting her lips hard, the pain making her more conscious.

As she recalled, she was held by two men to get into the car. But what happened after that?

Looking into the mirror, she saw her flushed cheeks. She frowned slightly as fragments of memories flashed Π across her mind. Memories started to flow back to her, and she recalled seeing Raymond. And there was something else she did...

The more she recalled, the more stunned she felt. It also cback to her that she called Raymond "honey" several times.

For a moment, she felt herself burning with embarrassment, and her mind went blank. After mentally preparing herself for a longtime, she finally opened the bathroom door only to see Raymond sitting calmly on the couch. Raymond was so engrossed in the presentation that he didn't notice she had cout. He was about to point out a mistake when he heard her cautious voice. "Honey... No, wait. Mr. Montague..." Selena was utterly nervous. Her mind was occupied by the word "honey", and she accidentally blurted out the word again.

She clenched her fists with great force. "Sorry. I was just..."

Blood was rushing into Raymond's head. The microphone in front of him was flickering non-stop, and them ongoing meeting turned weirdly silent all of a sudden. He had to control himself from strangling her. He adjourned the meeting and looked at her, his expression grim.
