Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 525

Chapter 525 And Yet, Why Do You Pursue Me?

Selena had two phones, each typically housing a single card, though there were times when both cards were operational within the same device. Standing on the balls of her feet in a state of irritation, she reached for her phone. However, Raymond, with a heavy gaze, purposefully held the device just out of her grasp.

"So, this is indeed a business line?" he questioned.

"No, it isn't," she retorted.

As the words left her lips, her phone rang. The screen illuminated, revealing an incoming call on card 1, identified as Caterlington. Card 1 was her personal line. Given that Caterlington was privy to her true identity, there was no need for subterfuge. Consequently, he was aware of both her numbers.

Upon recognizing Caterlington's call, Raymond promptly disconnected it. He then dialed Selena's number from his own device.

This time, the screen lit up with an incoming call on card 2, labeled as Mr. Montague. The difference between Caterlington and Mr. Montague was clear; it was evident who held a closer relationship with Selena without needing to voice it. A laugh of frustration escaped Raymond, the humiliation of the moment weighing heavily on him. His gaze upon Selena hardened, his lips pressed into a thin line, sharp as a blade's edge.

"What's your personal number?" he demanded. If Caterlington had access to it, why shouldn't he?

Selena's face hardened in response, and she extended her left hand.

"Mr. Montague, I insist you return my phone."
