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 , 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 tRaymond 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 backup. 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." Selena looked doubtful, so Carter handed her his phone.

Carter said, "If you don't believe me, call John yourself and see what Raymond's up to." Selena hesitated, not wanting to get her hopes up and then be let down.

But Carter dialed John's number for her.

Selena had no choice but to take the phone and ask, "John, what's Raymond doing?" John glanced at Raymond, who was pacing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows making calls, and then at the executives waiting in the conference room. He said softly, "He's in a meeting, but he's on the phone with someone right now, so he didn't get your call." John had no idea what was going on and thought Selena had called Raymond's phone, and since Raymond didn't answer, she called him instead.

So Raymond was indeed in a meeting.

Selena felt a wave of happiness and asked softly, "Is it an important meeting?" John replied, "A third of the Montague Group's executives have left, and a lot of new people have been promoted. This is Mr. Montague's first meeting with the newly appointed executives, so it's pretty important. But the call he's on must be even more important; he's probably negotiating a deal." Selena's lips curled into a smile as she glanced at Carter's phone, which was still buzzing with video call requests.

Carter was sweating bullets, not expecting Raymond to be this relentless. He was getting seriously freaked out and didn't dare touch his phone.

But Raymond kept calling, like he wouldn't stop until the phone battery died.

Carter was genuinely scared now. He'd already ignored several calls and video calls, and now he was even more afraid to touch his phone. He even considered chucking it in the trash and making a run for it.

One of his useless friends chimed in, "Dude, the phone's been ringing forever. Why aren't you answering? It's gonna die soon." Carter gritted his teeth and turned off his phone.

Selena had finished her chat with John and hung up.

Carter patted her shoulder, "Raymond's gonna be here any minute. You stay put. I'm hiding in the bathroom. When you guys leave, shoota text." "Raymond isn't that scary, is he?" Selena's tone had a hint of amusement.

"Not to you, but to me, he's terrifying. Anyway, I'm outta here." Carter then quickly slipped away.

Carter was right; Raymond showed up at the private room fifteen m minutes later As soon as he opened the door, he locked eyes with Selena and made a beeline for her.

The guys who were still playing dice in the private room shrank backlin ear. They all knew Raymond and his infamous temper. Raymond grabbed Selena and pulled her outside, his tone icy, "Cwith me." Selena didn't resist. Once they were in the hallway, she asked, "Aren't you still in a meeting?" Raymond nodded, "Yeah." He kept pulling her along, heading down the long hallway.

Raymond was so mad his chest was heaving. Carter had actually left her alone in the private room with those useless friends who only knew how to mess around with women. Raymond's face was dark, and the aura around him was practically freezing the air. The hallway lights were dim, filled with the smell of alcohol and expensive perfume.

Just as Raymond was about to turn a corner, he felt her soft body press against his back. He stiffened, thinking the chaotic environment had made him hallucinate.
