Singed Once Always Wary

Selena got in the car with a heavy heart and arrived at Wolfland twenty minutes later. The servant opened the door and saw her. A hint of displeasure crossed her face. “Miss Fair, what are you here for again? Madam is not in.”

Selena saw that besides the cleaning staff, no one else was in the hall. She looked up to ask if Raymond had been there but saw him turning impatiently already. Well, every time she came over, Catherine never had a good look on her face. Everyone knew that this daughter–in–law would be abandoned sooner or later so it was better not to pretend basic politeness.

“Who’s here?”

The garden door w

was pushed open, and a pretty girl stood there laughing lightly. “Is it the new nanny? She looks quite pretty.”

There was no malice in her eyes. She just asked innocently.

The servant chuckled softly with a touch of disdain in her eyes. But Selena did not get angry as expected; instead, she calmly said, “No, all household nannies wear uniforms. I’m here today looking for Mr. Montague.” She spoke too calmly without any extra emotions.

The girl realized she had asked a stupid question and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention. Are you looking for my cousin? He left half an hour ago.”

Cousin?

Selena looked at Mia Montague before smiling faintly, “Okay, thank you for telling me.”

Perhaps sensing that Selena really had something important going on, plus feeling guilty about misunderstanding earlier, led Mia to add more Information, “Ray should have gone back to The Montague Family building for meetings since he answered his phone when he left earlier.”

After speaking, Mia turned towards the servant with furrowed brows, “This lady is a guest. Why didn’t you offer her tea? Don’t you know how to treat guests?”

The servant pursed her lips and was about to retort when she heard Selena’s response. “It’s okay.”

The servant breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Selena still spoke up for her. Emboldened by this, the servant said, “Miss Montague, see? She said it’s okay.”

“Is that so?” Mia’s expression turned cold. “You don’t need to stay here anymore.”

The servant was taken aback. The Montague Family treated their employees very well. If she lost this job… She looked at Selena pleadingly, but Selena did not say anything.

If the other party made one or two mistakes, she would not have felt offended, but if it happened every time, then it meant they did not recognize her identity. Moreover, dismissing someone was not within her power. It was up to The Montague Family people whether or not they wanted to dismiss the employee.

The servant turned pale and trembled as Mia led her out of the house.

Mia asked Selena, “Who are you i in relation to Ray?”

“I’m an interior designer.”

“I know that. You’re in charge of Manhattan, right? We’ve all been asking around about you. It wasn’t easy for my cousin to choose you for his project.”

There was excitement in Mia’s eyes as she took a few steps closer, “I’m Mia, nineteen years old this year. You look almost the same age as me, but really amazing!

Only nineteen years old yet being held high by everyone in The Montague Family completely like a little princess living inside an ivory tower.

Selena smiled faintly and replied, “Mr. Montague fought hard before he got the order.”

Mia had pure thoughts and never thought an interior designer would come to Wolfland looking for Raymond. They should have gone to The Montague

Family building even if they were discussing business,

“You don’t need to be modest. Fus praising you from the bottom of my heart. I didn’t expect you to be so beautiful and capable–much stronger than Olivia.” Harely did she meet someone who caught her eye, so Mia’s words flowed out like a river, “You’re probably prettier than my cousin’s wife, whom I’ve never met before, I don’t even know what she looks like now“

Selena’s lips curved slightly. Althoughs she had not appeared in front of The Montague Family people, she lived in their mouths.

Min was very curious about her and pulled her to sit down. “I have a friend who is asking about you, I don’t know if you have time, but there are a few houses that I want you to help me take a look at.”

Althougli Selena knew the benefits of taking Raymund’s under early on, which could increase her reputation, she was still somewhat surprised. She smiled and said, “Miss Montague, in sorry, While serving Mr. Montague, I am not planning to take any other orders for now. If your friend has any needs, they can also find my colleagues.”

“Oh, Mia was disappointed but then brightened up again with excitement in her eyes. “Since you’re goal at design, you must be good at drawing toot Come with me. Without hesitations or suspicion, she took Selena’s hand and led her upstairs.

Mia had been staying in Wolland for the past few days because it was close to where she and her friends agreed to sketch together.

“Can you help me take a look at this painting? Is there anything that needs improvement? I’ve been thinking about it all afternoon. Mia pouted slightly us she spoke.

“Originally, I planned on coming over to ask Bay for advice, but he didn’t look happy, so I didn’t dare ask him more questions. Apparently, he had an appointment with his wife but got stood up?
