NovelEnglishChapter 1024 Jealousy Richard grabbed the menu and ordered something without much thought.
Raymond smirked, "Still single, huh? They should have a special meal for singles here. If not, I'll have the chef whip one up." Richard slammed the menu down. "Raymond, cut it out!" Raymond was about to say something even more annoying, but Selena jumped in, "Mr. Smith, ignore him. We're here to talk about our previous deal. I messed up, so I want to make it right." Richard's eyes were locked on Raymond.

He shot her a disapproving look. Selena lightly coughed and then gently patted the spot she had pinched. Raymond calmed down instantly. Richard could tell something was going on under the table.
Richard took a deep breath. "No need for compensation. It's just three Hollywood tickets. Consider it a gift." Raymond's face darkened, his eyes narrowing.
Richard felt like he had the upper hand and quickly softened his tone towards Selena, "Think of it as a friendly gesture. You're with him now, and I can't cbetween you two." Selena said, "Mr. Smith, that's too generous." Richard was about to say, "You deserve it; I feel a connection with you." But Raymond cut in, "Take it. The gifts he gave to his twenty-something exes were way more expensive." Richard was fuming. He held back, resisting the urge to throw the dish the waiter brought at Raymond's face. He couldn't understand why someone as amazing as Selena would be into Raymond, who was so arrogant. Selena gave Richard an awkward smile, feeling a bit helpless.
Richard gritted his teeth, unable to eat. Just seeing Raymond's face made him furious.
He took a deep breath, noticing the couple's set meal had arrived, but his order was still missing.
Richard was even more frustrated, feeling like today was just not his day.

Richard watched them, frowning slightly, feeling an odd sense that they actually made a good pair.
Raymond suddenly looked up at Richard, "Your single set meal isn't here yet. Guess the waiter thinks you're a nuisance too." Richard immediately stood up, holding back the urge to throw the coffee next to him at Raymond.

Hearing that Selena wanted to treat Richard alone, Raymond was m instantly annoyed. He removed her hand, about to say something, but she glared at him, making him sulk.
This made Richard happy. He took a deep breath, feeling instantly refreshed. "That works, but I haven high standards for restaurants. It has to be a very quiet private room." Someone as easily jealous as Raymond could already imagine many scenarios, and his face instantly darkened. Richard smiled and continued, "I'll wait for you to contact me. Just make sure not to bring Raymond along."
