Chapter 989 Clearly Liking Her but Not Daring to Pursue Paul strolled over, looking all serious. "Raymond, the government warnedto back off from digging into Christopher's stuff." Paul was using the Adams family's connections to find out that Christopher's research involved human experiments, which are a big no-no everywhere.
If this got out, every country involved would get roasted by the international media. No one wanted that heat. Raymond's eyes were glued to the computer screen, showing the poem they found earlier. It was their only lead.
But Paul shut the computer down and gathered all the papers. "Christopher's situation is a mess. We're not gonna crack it anytsoon. It'd be awesif we could find someone who talked to him recently, but no luck there." Raymond put down the documents. "I'm heading back." Paul smirked, "Heading back already? Tessa waiting for you? Heard she's been bringing you food lately." Raymond ignored him and went straight back to Manston Manor.
Carter was already there on the couch, holding a gift he got from abroad-a tie clip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaymond didn't even glance at the gift. He took off his cufflinks, tossed them in a nearby box, and shrugged off his formal jacket before sitting down.
Carter asked, "Raymond, are you really dating Tessa? Everyone's talking about you two. What about Penny?" Raymond shot back, "Did she tell you that?" By "she," he meant Selena.
Carter shook his head, "No, I just called Penny. She sounded pretty down." "She's down?" Raymond found it hard to believe and pursed his lips. "I'll get you a job at Montague Group. You can start there." Carter got anxious. "Raymond, I didn't chere for that." Raymond replied, "I know, but you need something to do." Carter stood up abruptly. "My family's money is enough forto live comfortably forever. I don't need a job. Everyone says I'm unambitious, that I'm useless. I don't care. I was lucky to be born into the Montague family, which means I never have to work." Carter added, "Raymond, I think being happy is what matters." Raymond had already stood up and was heading upstairs.
Carter continued, "If I liked a woman, I'd go after her, no matter her status. You all probably thought my ex- girlfriend was no good; she was just a receptionist. But she madehappy. I'm so carefree that I'll probably have another girlfriend soon. But at least when I'm with her, I'm sincere. I wouldn't be like you, clearly liking Selena but not daring to pursue her." Raymond's brow furrowed. Just as he was about to say something, Carter had already pushed the door open and walked out.
When Raymond cout of the shower, Carter's words kept echoing in his mind.
Raymond smiled bitterly. He had already tried, but Selena had someone she liked.
He opened his phone and checked Twitter to see the current buzz. People were still bashing Rachel.
He clicked on Selena's Twitter.
She hadn't posted much lately, but the few posts she had were getting tons of comments. The last one had over two million comments. Raymond didn't have a Twitter account. Even though his interviews were popular, he never bothered with Twitter.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSelena had only posted a few updates. He scrolled through them quickly.
He then checked her Facebook updates and finally got why shem hadn't wanted to give him her personal number back then. Turns out he already had it.
He scrolled through all the updates on both of Selena's accounts. The work account had more stuff, account including a few posts about Max and one about Blizzard. But her personal account had barely any updates, just two posts, as uninteresting as she was.
But then he thought, she probably didn't have many relatives left, and her personal account likely had very few contacts.
His heart suddenly ached, the pain unbearable.
