NovelsBestChapter 993 Did We Do Something Wrong? Ann froze, not sure what to do next.
She stood there for a few minutes until she spotted Tessa coming out of the elevator and heading her way. When Tessa reached the front desk, she asked sharply, "Is Raymond not in the office today?"

Tessa had already done her homework on Selena and knew who was in her circle.
Plus, Ann was one of Selena's trusted assistants.
Ann suddenly realized this was Tessa Smith, the rumored girlfriend of Raymond. She quickly tried to leave. Tessa sneered, "So, Selena can't reach Raymond, so she sends you to bother him? How pathetic for a CEO. Raymond wants nothing to do with her, but she still won't give up." Ann's fingers clenched at her side, her anger rising at Tessa's naive tone. She gritted her teeth.
Tessa stepped closer, blinking her big eyes. "Didn't I already tell Selena to stop coming here?" Ann shot back, "Ms. Smith, this is Mr. Montague's company, not yours. I don't need your permission to be here." Tessa smirked and looked Ann up and down. "No wonder Selena picked you as her assistant. You're just as sharp- tongued, but sadly, you have no skills. You can't even get to the top floor, so what are you showing off for?" Tessa smiled at the receptionist and then lifted her skirt, walking away.

Meanwhile, in a private room...
Selena had arranged to meet a director here, but the director had been waiting for an hour without seeing Selena. He hadn't even received a call from her.
He had directed several blockbuster films and didn't want to sign with any company. This time, he cbecause he trusted S.M Corporation.
After all, several people had spoken highly of Selena in front of him, and he had inquired about the employees' status at S.M Corporation. Everyone there seemed very content, even Andrew said Selena was a great boss.
But now, she hadn't kept her appointment with him.
The director was furious and stood up, calling Selena's phone, but she didn't answer.
Selena was an hour late and didn't even answer his calls. He immediately felt that all the good things he had heard about her were lies.

He recognized the man in the middle as Raymond, the CEO of the Montague Group.

The Montague Group had been expanding into the entertainment industry for the past six months and was likely planning to make a big movie.

When asked why he was there alone, his expression turned sour. "Ms. Fair arranged to meet me. I heard she had a good reputation, but she's an hour late, and she didn't answer my calls. I'm furious; I put my work on hold to chere." The other producers, not being part of Silver Bay City's high society, hadn't heard about Raymond and Selena, so they made slight conversation.
"Is the CEO of S.M Corporation a woman? Women aren't suited for business." "Yeah, she's probably still at hputting on makeup, haha."
The men made sjokes and opened the adjacent suite door,m respectfully saying to Raymond, "Mr. Montague, please." Raymond didn't go in but said indifferently, "No need to discuss."
The producers' faces changed instantly, looking uneasy. He uneasy. "Whatten wrong, Mr. Montague? Did we do something wrong?" Raymond had already turned around, his expression cold. "Cback when you've changed your attitudes." The producers stood there, faces red with humiliation, not knowing which of their words had upset him.
As Raymond stepped into the elevator, the director followed, nervously standing in the corner mem having just seen him reprimand top producers and guessing that Raymond had a bad temper. Raymond slightly raised his head, meeting the director's gaze through the reflective surface. The director quickly lowered his head.
Raymond asked, "Selena was an hour late?" The director nodded, "Yes, I called Ms. Fair, but she didn't answer."
