Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 439 A Forbidden Affair

The thought of Raymond's words in the underground parking lot about having an affair echoed in Selena's mind.

She couldn't shake the sensation that she was indeed engaged in a clandestine romance with her boss-the same boss who had orchestrated her husband's transfer. But why would Raymond go to such lengths?

Surely, Selena didn't delude herself into thinking her allure was irresistible, sweeping Raymond off his feet on a whim.

A man in his position had crossed paths with endless numerous women. Most crucially, everyone in New York knew Olivia was the only woman he acknowledged as his girlfriend. He had even braved Wall Street alone, abandoning everything there to defy an arranged marriage.

Could such a man fancy her? The thought seemed ludicrous to Selena; overconfidence often led women to make fools of themselves.

Due to a nagging knee wound and a light dizziness, Selena settled into her seat with painstaking slowness. With just the two of them and a snoring dog on the balcony filling the space, she turned on the TV to break the stifling silence. Of all things, it had to be a drama starring Austin.

Raymond's features twitched subtly in response.
