Singed Once Always Wary

Mia still had the innocence of a child. Her eyes shone as she spoke, and she was more talkative than she should be.

Perhaps because she dealt with difficult people often, Selena felt unusually relaxed around her. She looked at Mia’s drawing without saying a word. Mia sighed with a pen in her hand.

She didn’t expect Selena to really offer any constructive criticism, but seeing her suddenly take the pen from the side and make a few changes on the paper, the originally lifeless image suddenly came alive, even the brushstrokes were dynamic.

Mia’s eyes widened unconsciously, and she rubbed her own eyes.

“You…you just changed the color, right? Oh my god, it’s like a completely different painting, are you also trained in painting?”

With such skillful strokes and color correction techniques, it was clear that Selena was an expert.

Selena nodded and put down the paintbrush.

“Actually, your foundation is pretty good, but the color matching is a bit off.”

Mia’s excited little face turned reil, her lips curved into smiles.

“I know, I’m very confident now that you’ve made these changes. Actually, I was planning on using this painting for a competition, but my mentor asked me to come back and find inspiration. I was going to ask my cousin, but he and his wife stood me up.”

She complained, staring at Selena with bright, shining eyes.

“Thank you. Your name is Selena, right? Where do you live? Can I come visit you often?” NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Selena frowned, not because she didn’t like Mia, but because she was worried about getting too involved with the Montague family and being seen as having ulterior motives.

“Sorry, my place might not be convenient.”

Innocent like Min, she did not realize this was a polite refusal.

She had never been rejected before in her life.

“How about adding you as a WhatsApp friend?”

Selena thought for a moment and took out her work WhatsApp.

Mia happily added her and started adjusting the colors next to her while cutting.

“This studio belongs to my cousin. He used to love reading here.”

Raymond’s room?

Selena couldn’t help but take a look, it was a conventional style, but there were several hollow designs on the walls that emitted light, giving it a unique flavor. It was clear that it had been carefully designed.

At this point, Selena was both struggling with how to explain things to Raymond and secretly admiring the decor.

This was Raymond’s preferred style?

The door and cabinet were made of dark brown solid wood, most likely custom–made, even the handles were full of details.

It was clear that the owner had a strong sense of taste and extreme attention to detail.

At this point, Selena really appreciated Mia. She had been going back–and–forth with Raymond without learning anything useful.

Now, Mia had inadvertently led her into Raymond’s private domain, where his personality a

and style were revealed,

“The details of this mom were all added by my cousin, did you see those hollow designs over there?

Selena’s favorite part of the whole rooms was this area. The light seeped out from inside, and at night, the holes should look like mirages,

When the light was turned off, it lit up a corner with a special place for contemplation.

Suddenly, she remembered what Carter had said: that person wasn’t just a business magnate, he was also uniquely gifted in art.

How is it? My cousin has good taste, right?”

Mia put down her pen and spoke proudly, showing that she greatly admired her cousin.

After speaking, she frowned, ‘Unfortunately, my grandfather insists that my cousin marry a useless woman. Although Olivia isn’t anything special, at least she’s educated and decent–looking. Now that…I feel sorry for my cousin!”

Selena:

She felt a bit complicated and even more convinced that she couldn’t reveal her identity.

If Mia found out that she was the wife she ilespised, she didn’t know what kind of reaction she would have,

Hopefully, they won’t have any mure dealings with each other in the future.

After venting, Mla probably realized that she had said to much and quickly changed the subject.

“Can I ask you questions on WhatsApp if I have problems in the future?

“Sure, but I have to go now,”

“I’ll escort you downstairs,”

After leaving Wolfland, Selena went straight back to the office.

During this time, Mia sent her many grateful messages, but she didn’t read them.

As soon as she entered the oflice, saw Matthew.

“There was also a female employee from the studio named Jane beside him.

It was the person that Sarah always complained about who was always pestering Matthew.

Jane saw her and her face turned sour, forcing a smile on her lips

‘Hey, our heroine is back.”

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the office lifted their heads.

Everyone had heard about Selena landing the Raymond order, and now it was no secret in the design community. Their studio was also riding high on the tide.

In just one day, orders had increased tenfold.
