[Bitch, what makes you think you can go after Mr. Montague? Even if you were naked in front of him, he wouldn't give you a second look!] [You greasy old hag, you really dare to dream. Why don't you just drop dead?] [Seems you don't know your place! Boycott S.M Corporation, boycott Selena! We're not watching any shows from your company anymore!] [Mr. Montague would probably puke if he heard this.

But now, he stayed quiet for a minute before chuckling, "I'll cover." Tessa's eyes lit up, "When will you cover? Let's grab a meal together." Raymond said, "You decide. I'll leave in a bit." Tessa chirped, "Okay, I'll wait for you!"

A day later, Selena got a photo on her phone of Raymond sitting in a fancy restaurant Candlelight, red wine, a romantic dinner. [Raymond cto stay with me.] Selena stared at the photo for ages, not seeing any reluctance on Raymond's face.
There was even a jewelry box in the corner, probably a gift for the princess.
While Selena was still in a daze, her phone buzzed again with another text. [Selena, know your place. You were always just a passerby.]
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, another photo cthrough. This time, it was a box of condoms, already opened.
