Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 937 Can't Stand Others Insulting Selena

Sophia suddenly got it and downed a glass of vodka in one go.

Ann couldn't take it anymore. She noticed Selena about to answer a call. The music in the private room was blasting, so Selena stepped out to take it, and Austin trailed behind her. It was Raymond on the line. It was ten o'clock, and he hadn't seen Selena yet. She had mentioned she'd be at Manston Manor tonight.

Selena found a quiet spot and answered, "Hey, what's up?"

Raymond asked, "Selena, where are you?"

"Grabbing dinner with the team." She leaned against a wall, remembering she was supposed to meet him tonight.

"I might be a bit late." Just as she said that, she heard Austin's voice behind her.

Austin called out, "Ms. Fair."

Selena, clueless about his intentions, thought he had some Hollywood updates. She covered the phone and said, "Austin, head back inside. I'll be done soon."

But Raymond had already heard Austin's voice. 'Staff dinner? Or are you on a date?'

After dealing with Austin, Selena got back to Raymond. "I need about two more hours here."

Raymond wasn't happy but didn't want to come off too eager.

Raymond's way of showing he was upset was to stay on the line.

Since he didn't hang up, Selena couldn't either.

After three minutes of awkward silence, she asked, "Anything else?"

Just then, a woman screamed behind her, "It's Austin! Oh my God! He's back from filming 'The Last Fight"!"

The woman's shriek practically shook the hallway. Selena quickly hung up and pulled Austin into an empty private room.

The room was perfect-private and lockable.

As soon as they got in, she used a pillow to cover the small window on the door.

Austin was too famous now; even with these precautions, he could still be recognized.

Selena quickly called a few company bodyguards and had the PR team work overtime to keep an eye on the trending topics tonight.

Sure enough, Austin soon became a trending topic, but the rumors were way off.

[I just saw Austin at a karaoke bar. Is he being forced to hang out with Selena?]

[Austin just got off the plane and hasn't even adjusted to the time difference. Selena is so heartless!]

[What good intentions could such a fat have?]

[You guys bash Selena, but at least she got Austin some gigs in Hollywood.]

[Selena only got Austin those gigs to sleep with him. Isn't it just because he's hot?]

Soon enough, both Austin and Selena were trending, and witnesses even claimed that Austin was pulled into a private room by a woman at the karaoke bar.

Now, everyone was losing it, demanding that the "ugly" Selena let go of Austin.

Selena sat in the private room. With the window covered, the crazed fans outside couldn't see what was going on inside.

Austin sat across from her, nervously taking off his mask and hat.

Being alone in a room with Selena was something Austin never even dreamed of.

Selena was waiting for the bodyguards to arrive. Later tonight, the bar would be cleared out, and they could leave. But she definitely couldn't make it to Manston Manor tonight.

She sat on the couch, sensing Austin had something to say, so she spoke first, "Did anyone give you a hard time on set?"

Austin replied, "No, everyone was pretty nice."

Selena nodded, all business. "From now on, you need to be more careful picking roles. I'll have your agent find good scripts, and Ronald and I will review them. As for endorsements, once word gets out that you're back, offers will pour in. Those companies aren't dumb."

What happened with Ford last time wouldn't happen again, and Ford had already taken a hit. Their performance tanked this month, and they deserved it.

Austin was already nervous, and seeing that Selena only cared about his work, he didn't dare say much. He just listened, hands nervously clasped together. Manston Manor.

Raymond was restless. Several entertainment news notifications popped up on his phone. When he opened them, he saw that Selena and Austin were trending together.

The comments said Selena was obsessed with Austin's looks, which was why she spent a lot of money to get him the role.

They also said Selena wasn't good enough for Austin.

Raymond read these messages and felt a surge of anger.

Because Austin's role was indeed obtained by Selena at the cost of selling Raymond out, he had been holding a grudge for so long, and now Selena and Austin were trending together.

His hand gripped the phone tightly. He couldn't stand seeing others criticize Selena like this.

Although he did think Selena was quite heartless, he could criticize her, but what right did these netizens have to say such things about her?
