Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1005 Taking the Initiative to Hug Him

Carter grinned at Selena and said, "You know, back when I used to drink with my buddies, Raymond wouldn't even bother picking up my calls; he'd just hang up. But now, with all the Montague Group drama, he's been answering. Still, no way he's showing up in person. I bet you, he'll call in less than a minute."

Right after he said that, his phone rang. It was Raymond.

Carter didn't pick up but nudged Selena. "See? He never calls me. This time, he's desperate."

Carter let the call go to voicemail in front of Selena.

But then, Raymond called again.

Just like Carter predicted, Raymond was in a rush.

Carter ignored the call again, and this time Raymond tried to video call him.

Carter almost dropped his wine glass. He knew Raymond was in a hurry but didn't expect him to be this frantic. He never thought he'd see Raymond initiate a video call.

Carter started to get a bit nervous, worried that if Raymond showed up, things might get ugly.

He quickly turned to Selena. "If Raymond comes after me, you gotta back me up. Penny, I'm doing this for you, to show you how Raymond really feels. If he didn't care about you, why would he be acting like this? I found out he's still in a meeting right now; it must've been interrupted."
