Mr. Billionaire Boundless Love

After Selene recovered from her shock, her mind became a chaotic haven for a mixture of emotions. This was a new apartment that had been bought for their marriage, and they had lived there together for several months. But, at that moment, there was a different woman there.

Selene saw the woman in front of her as an intruder. She felt that Clint had simply replaced her with Jennifer.

But Selene soon broke out of that state and smiled slightly. She then handed the bag to Jennifer. “Okay then. Please give these to him.”

Without any hesitation, Selene turned around and left.

“Selene!” Jennifer called her back.

“What?” Selene asked without turning around.

“You should feel happy for me.”

“Why?” Selene turned slightly, raising an eyebrow.

“Because I finally made it. Didn’t I?”

“Well done, Jennifer!” Selene said, without showing any emotion on her face.

“Listen here,” Jennifer said. ”Be it Clint or fashion design- I won’t lose to you!”

“Don’t worry. Clint doesn’t belong to me.”

“Still, I hope I’ll never see you around him again.” Said Jennifer.

“I’m afraid you’ll be a little disappointed there,” Selene said smugly, then turned around and left.

Jennifer dropped her smile, put down the bag, and went inside the apartment, locking the front door behind her.

She quickly dressed up. A few moments after she finished, Clint suddenly opened the door of the bedroom and massaged his forehead. “Hey, Jenni. Was someone else here just now? I heard some voices.”

Jennifer shook her head. “Not at all. You must’ve dreamed it.” She said. “Please go back to sleep. I won’t disturb you.”

“If you’re finished here, maybe it’s time for you to get going. Unfortunately, I’m too busy to keep you company today.”

It was obvious that Clint was unhappy with her being there. Jennifer froze for a moment but broke into a smile soon after. “Okay, Clint. Take care. I’ll come by tomorrow.”

“That won’t be necessary. I have a fever, and it will take me a while to recover. Besides, I need some alone time.”

“Okay then.” Jennifer smiled.

When she got out of the apartment, she took the bag which Selene had brought with her. When she arrived at the front desk of the apartment complex, she handed the bag to the man who worked there. “This is for Mr. Denovan. Please give it to him and tell him that it’s from Selene Morris.”

“Miss Morris just left a while ago.” The man said with a surprised expression.

“Just do as I say. Do you understand?” Jennifer said while handing him some money.

The man took the bag and the money, then smiled. “Sure thing, Miss. I heard you, loud and clear.”

Jennifer smiled with satisfaction and left.

It was dark outside by the time Clint awoke, and he felt much better. He felt a little hungry, as he hadn’t eaten in quite a while. He opened the fridge and looked for something to eat, but he didn’t find anything, so he decided to go out to eat.

When he walked past the front desk of the apartment complex, the man who worked there called out for him and handed him a bag.

“What’s this?” Clint asked with a surprised look.

“This is from Selene Morris.” The man answered.

Clint looked inside the bag and saw two suits. “When did she come? Did she leave any messages for me?”

“She came by at ten past five. She left the bag, then walked away without saying anything.”

“Okay. Thank you!” Clint nodded.

He went back to his apartment, took out his cell phone, and called Selene.

“Hello.” He heard the cold answer from Selene.

“Thank you for bringing me the suits. I thought about coming by myself to get them, but I’ve got a fever, so I decided just to rest.”

“Okay,” Selene answered without any emotion.

Clint detected something strange in her tone. “What’s wrong?” He asked.

“Nothing.”

“Have you had dinner?” Clint continued asking.

“Yes, I have.”

“Wanna go out for some food?”

“Can’t. I’m busy.”

Clint was surprised by her answer, but he kept smiling. “Okay. That’s all right. Have a rest, and let’s look forward to our trip to New York.”

“Clint!” Selene suddenly said.

“Yes?”

“Sorry. Something suddenly came up, and I won’t be able to go to New York with you. I have to attend an important meeting.”

“Is it that important? What about us going to the Fashion Show together? It’s held only once a year. It would be a shame for you to miss it.”

“Sorry, Clint. The meeting is also very important.”

“Could you at least tell me what this meeting is for?”

“That’s private.”

Clint felt that Selene had an ulterior reason for canceling their plans.

“Okay. I won’t force you to go there with me. I’ll see you when I’m back from my business trip.”

“I hope you’ll have a nice trip,” Selene said.

Selene hung up the phone and stared at it. The image of Jennifer and Clint together played in her mind.

She thought that there probably wasn’t anything happening between the two. Jennifer must’ve been at Clint’s apartment for a different reason, and she was only using that as an opportunity to play a nasty prank on Selene.

However, she suddenly noticed that her meeting with Jennifer had brought out hidden emotions and made her realize that she still had feelings for Clint.

Due to her canceled trip to New York, Selene found herself with some time off from work, as she had kept those days free. Since New York was no longer happening, going back home for a few days seemed to be the logical choice.

Huston was not too far from her hometown, Cloudy Town, and it was less than a four-hour bus trip away. She went back once every 2 or 3 months. She did not go back home very often, even when she was free.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She did not let her father, Harry Morris, know in advance that she would be visiting.
