Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 37

Selena knew that Jane was deliberately taunting her. She had no intention of responding and sat down at her desk.

Jane felt resentful. If Matthew had allowed her to contact Raymond, she could have landed this order as well. After all, Raymond had agreed because of his high school friendship with Matthew, not Selena’s personal relationship.

So she had only picked up a bargain but ended up with a lot of fame.

Why did all the good things happen to her? It was making Jane sick to her stomach.

Jane felt like she was holding a bomb inside her chest, ready to explode at any touch. Now seeing Selena’s disdainful attitude made her even more furious.

“Some people think that just because Raymond entrusted them with designing his house, they can use it to climb to greater heights. But he has a crush on someone else, who doesn’t know that he’s waiting for her in New York City, where Manhattan is their wedding home.”

It was true that those working in interior design were more likely to come into contact with wealthy people. There had been several rumors of colleagues sleeping with clients and being caught red–handed by their spouses.

Jane was strikingly beautiful, and she had always wanted to rise through the ranks quickly by taking shortcuts. Flattering Matthew was just her first step.

But she didn’t get any benefits from it.

She had set her sights on landing the Raymond order long ago and had talked to Matthew many times about it. She even invited him out on her birthday.

However, Matthew had said that he wasn’t familiar with Raymond and that everyone would have to rely on their own abilities.

But if he really wasn’t familiar with Raymond, how could Selena have met with him?

So she hadn’t climbed up Matthew’s tree, instead, Selena had, and then used him to land Raymond.

They all had the same goal, so why was Selena being so arrogant?

It was utterly disgusting!

Jane’s words were almost pointing fingers at Selena. Naturally, Selena wouldn’t sit idly by, so she looked up.

“Is Jane talking about me?”

Jane sneered, “Who else would I be talking about? Do you think I’m talking about someone else?” All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Selena nodded and replied, “No one else has ever landed a Raymond order.”

Every word pierced Jane like a steel needle, making her face turn red with anger.

“You’re feeling smug now, aren’t you? Raymond only agreed because of Mr. Clark. What do you have to do with it?”

Matthew frowned. He knew he had little to do with it. Selena had done it all by herself.

“Jane,” he didn’t want anyone in the studio to make a scene. The studio was currently on an upward trajectory, and Jane had some strength.

Jane felt wronged, her eyes tearing up. “Mr. Clark, I know you and Selena went to the same university, but you shouldn’t be blased like this.” This statement struck a chord with everyone in the studio.

“I didn’t help with this Raymond project. He doesn’t even remember me as his high school classmate. Selena did it all by herself.”

Upon hearing this, everyone secretly criticized her.

Wasn’t she helping Selena again?

Selena didn’t want to bunden Matthew, after all, the studio wasnt big, and he intentionally created a relaxed work environment. So except during meetings, everyone got along like partners.

Selenia rose slowly from her seat.

*If anyone feels dissatisfied, then go and find out what the client likes, Subunit your designs to Mr. Clark and let him present them to Raymond. It’s up to him to decide who he wants to choose!

Meaning, her report would also be submitted.

And it would be submitted anonymously.

Selenas gaze fell lightly on everyone else in the room. “Does anyone want to join me?”

Selena had always known that many people in the studle had grievances against her, and she didn’t care about submitting any friends, making connections, or anything like that.

After all, in this line of work, it wasn’t about relationships. It was all about satisfying the client.

If they were dissatisfied, then let them kise again.

Jane heard Selena’s invitation and slammed the table, “Alright, If you dare to submit anonymously, then everyone should do so too, Let Raymond decide for himself. Who do you think you are?! We’ve all graduated from prestigious universities, who are you?!”

Selena kept her tone light. “So, will you submit your designs?”

Jane was even more furious and glanced at everyone else in the mom.

In the studio, everyone was aware of Selena’s ability. Every design she created received endless praise from clients, and therefore, everyone else benefited as well.

ing for an amateur to ride on the coattails of a group of professionals.

But it wasn’t a good thing

If they submitted their designs and Raymond still chose Selena, the embarrassment would be a hundred times worse than it was now, and maybe they wouldn’t be able to stay in the Industry.

This was a high–stakes gamble.
