Chapter 401: A Little Tenderness Goes a Long Way Paul clearly lacked interest in the scene unfolding before him, stepping past the figure on the ground and entering the nearby private room without a second glance. Selena Fair marveled at her own composure, slowly picking up the items scattered across the floor.

She was about to squat down to help when she heard Raymond Montague's cold voice, "Alex, go inside." Alex Reed chuckled, "Oh boy, someone's in for it now." With Alex gone, only Raymond Montague and Selena Fair remained.

One of the small toys had fallen near Raymond Montague's foot. Selena moved to pick it up, but his dress shoe gently pinned it down.

He crouched, fixing his gaze on her.

Selena was putting on a brave face; she hadn't expected Shelley Harper to prepare such things. She tugged at the toy, but Raymond didn't budge.

Taking a deep breath, she offered, "If Mr. Montague likes it, you can have it." Just as she tried to rise, he grasped her chin, causing her pain, her brow furrowing.

"Only two days apart and this thirsty?" he mocked, picking up the item with his other hand, examining it still in its packaging.

"Who did you plan on using this with?" Selena was on the verge of tears, her eyes reddening with distress.

At that moment, Austin Reed arrived, calling out, "Selena." His eyes narrowed upon seeing Raymond Montague. Though he didn't recognize him, the aura around Raymond was clearly not to be trifled with. But there was Selena, her chin clutched in his grip, tension crackling between them.

After hesitating, Austin approached cautiously.

Raymond had already released her, his gaze now on Austin.

Austin, remembering Shelley's warnings, thought Selena was in trouble and tried to pull her away.

But Selena spoke up, "Austin Reed, you go ahead." Stunned, he looked at Raymond, hesitating before asking, "Are you alright?" Selena managed a smile, and started to say "I'm-" Before she could finish, Raymond pulled her into the nearby elevator.

He remembered what Alex had said that if she could cheat with you, she could do the swith others. Such people have no moral bottom line. As the elevator doors closed, Raymond swiped his card for the top floor.

The Skywalk's top floor was never open to the public.

Selena's legs shook. She tried to explain, but Raymond kissed her.

"Mr. Montague, mm..." His bite was harsh on her lip, "Two days apart, and you've found another? Your husband can't satisfy you, and neither can I?" He scoffed, glancing at the bag in her hand.

"Were you planning to play with that young star if you hadn't run intotonight?" Selena didn't respond. She wanted to say it was a gift, but who would believe such a thing? And why should Raymond be angry? She really didn't understand.

Selena was pulled into a suite, its luxury rivaling Raymond's hotel room.

The door shut, and she was pressed against it.

The lights remained off, their breaths mingling in the dark.

"Mr. Montague!" Her neck hurt, and she couldn't help but ask, "I don't understand why you're angry." The light from outside illuminated her clear eyes.

"Did you get laid with him?" "No." Her answer was quick, her lashes lowered as she suddenly understood.

She still owed Raymond seven times, and he had a thing for cleanliness, If she had been with someone else, it would disgust him. She hurriedly added, "And nothing with Lucas Den either." Her words struck a chord with Raymond.

Realizing belatedly, she coaxed, "These toys were recommended by a friend. You seemed happy with the white set last time, so I thought..." It was hard for her to say, but to soothe the lion, she had to go against her conscience.

Sure enough, Raymond's anger dissipated.

Selena pressed on, "Mr. Montague, after you left, I stayed in the hotel for two days! Could I rest for a week?" She waited a minute for his response, which didn't come.

She remembered Shelley Harper's words: men, like women, just need a little coaxing.
