Chapter 8 Raymond froze for a beat , then a smirk came to his lips . " Sorry , I haven't been around much . Once Elnora is back , I'll free up a few days and take you on a trip . You pick the place , okay ? " He knew how to charm her . Back in the day , if he had taken time out of his busy schedule to travel with her , she'd have been overjoyed . But now , when she thought about it , a lot of things didn't add Raymond gave her lots of gifts , and they spent a lot of time in bed together , but other than that , they hardly hung out . And gifts were nothing to him because he had money to burn . Just then , his phone rang . He let go of Josephine and pulled out his phone . She caught a glimpse of the name " Lena " flashing on the screen out of the corner of her eye . He hung up , but the phone rang again right away . Chapter 8 This time , he answered it . After a bit , he frowned and said , " Okay . I'll be right there . " Pocketing his phone , he pressed a kiss to Josephine's cheek . " Your period started . I was worried you might have cramps , so I came by this morning with some soup . Make sure you eat it . I gotta run to a meeting . Take care of yourself , okay ? " Josephine gave him a faint nod . Then he turned and left the closet . She trusted him . He had always rushed off after answering calls , and she never even bothered to glimpse his phone screen . She was so naive . She actually believed that a guy like him , who was always chasing around , would only have eyes for her . If she had paid a little more attention , she would've seen that over the past two years , he had her , Lenora , and maybe many other girls . She had been nothing short of a fool ! Josephine walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror . She wiped her cheek , where Raymond had kissed her , with a Chapter 8 washcloth . When she came out , she noticed a crystal plate on the dining table . She picked it up , and it was still warm . La * = It was at least a half - hour drive from the Bautista family's place to here . 67 Crystal plates didn't keep things warm , but this one was still pretty hot . Raymond had a keen eye for details . And that was what made him irresistible to girls . 72 But Josephine didn't want to get caught up in this stuff anymore . She threw the plate in the trash . www She set an alarm . When she woke up , it was already after three . She got up and saw a text on her phone . It was from Raymond : " I got you a new Bugatti . The license plate is your birthday . The keys are in the milk box by the door. Remember to grab them ." He was big on giving . ww No wonder all the girls rumored to be involved with him Chapter 8 thought he was great . But with Josephine , it was a definite thumbs down . After she got cleaned up , it was almost four . Since Raymond was giving her a car , she figured she might as well take it . It'd be pretty dumb to turn down free stuff . With the keys in hand , she went to the parking lot and immediately spotted a pink Bugatti sports car . The shiny paint was sparkling in the sunlight . She drove to the airport and waited at the exit . In less than ten minutes , she saw Elnora weaving through the crowd . Her long , straight hair was neatly pulled back into a low ponytail and coiled up , showing off her smooth forehead . Gray , smoky eyeshadow , and bright red lipstick made her look glamorous . Her well - fitted beige business suit showed how sharp she was . The thin heels of her shoes clicked crisply against the floor . She moved through the crowd with a strong , confident stride , like she owned the place .
