Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 872 Raymond Must Be Crazy

As soon as Austin bounced, Sophia bolted over like a bat outta hell.

When she found out she snagged a Hollywood gig, she nearly jumped outta her skin, hugging Selena and smooching the contract like it was her long-lost love. She swore up and down she wouldn't let Selena down, then took off with tears streaming down her face.

Well, at least she wouldn't have to deal with him anymore.

Selena didn't even bother opening her eyes. Her throat was dry as a bone. "Fiona, what's up?"
