Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 484 A Common Tactic Used by Men in Relationships

In a conference room abroad, a meeting that was scheduled to only last a few hours was extended by three more.

The executives present could sense that Raymond was in a bad mood. He had a cold expression throughout, making everyone afraid to speak out of turn.

Raymond didn't know why, but a sense of restlessness suddenly overwhelmed him, causing him to lose his usual calm.

However, he remained stoic. He watched the projected slides for a long time before finally saying, "Dismissed. Assign two people to negotiate with the company."

The executives present all breathed a sigh of relief as they wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

Raymond stood up and strode out, with John closely following behind him.

After his plane landed, Raymond hadn't even adjusted to the time difference before heading straight to the meeting room, where he remained until now. But matters here were still not yet settled. His eyes showed a hint of fatigue. He took his phone from John and turned it on.

"Mr. Montague, would you like something to eat?" John asked.

Raymond shook his head while rubbing his brow. "You go rest. When you wake up, prepare the materials needed for tomorrow. We'll delay our return by a week." "Alright."

Once John left, Raymond took a shower.

When he came out, he dried his hair with a towel while scrolling through his phone. Restlessness still hovered over him.

He frowned, threw his phone aside, and picked up a hairdryer.

But seeing the hairdryer reminded him of the night Selena had dried his hair for him, and her obedience when she was winding the wire.
