Chapter 1030 Once Someone Who Dares Not Love Takes The Step

Ann walked up to Selena's desk, unsure if she should wake her. Selena had dozed off, and given how exhausted everyone was lately, Ann figured it was best to let her sleep.

Over at Manston Manor, the food on the table had been reheated so many times the chef had stopped asking. It was cold again. Raymond glanced at the clock; it was 10 PM. Selena hadn't called, and she wasn't picking up his calls either.

Raymond was busy too, but he always made time for her calls, even during meetings.

He wanted to light a cigarette but hesitated, worried she'd show up just as he did and the smell would put her off.

He held a cigarette between his fingers, fighting the urge. When the clock hit 10:30, he finally gave in and lit it.

The chef had gone home, and there was no one left to reheat the food.

Raymond sat there, almost like he was in a standoff with someone.

The atmosphere was so tense that John didn't dare approach, standing quietly at a distance.

At 11 PM, Raymond told John, "You should go rest."
