Dear Sweetheart

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 117

Chapter 117 A Gift From Uncle Curtis

The agitation in Rayna was about to subside when she suddenly noticed the glaring wedding favors and monetary gift on the table that burned her eyes.

It just so happened that Jordan came in to deliver some documents.

Rayna threw the wedding favors and monetary gift to him. “Take these. I don’t want them.”

“Oh, okay.” Jordan was stunned for a moment before asking cautiously, “Ms. Garland, you seem to be in a bad mood these days. Is it because we aren’t doing our job properly?”

Can they see that I’m in a bad mood too?

Slightly taken aback, Rayna forced a smile. “No, you’re doing a great job. It’s my problem.”

“Tell me if you need anything.”

Jordan soon left, but he merely took the wedding favors, not the monetary gift.

After staring at the document in front of her for a while, Rayna felt that the words in the document became jumbled up and ended up becoming the content of the newspaper she previously saw. She could not help but bring the palm of her hand to her face in exasperation.

What’s wrong with me? Why am I so upset? I barely interact with Uncle Curtis except during the business trip to Tyrandas, where we spent some time together. After we came back, we go about our daily life. Why would I fall for him?

The screen of the phone on the table lit up. There was a new WhatsApp message.

Curtis: Ms. Garland, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. Let’s meet at Red Bricks Restaurant at seven o’clock.

Rayna’s hand trembled when she clicked to view the WhatsApp message.

Uncle Curtis hasn’t contacted me for so many days. He did not even send me a single WhatsApp message. Why does he suddenly invite me to dinner tonight? Has he texted the wrong person? But then there’s “Ms. Garland” in his text.

His WhatsApp message left Rayna absent-minded for the rest of the day. She had been hesitating, unsure if she should accept his invitation. When it was time to get off work, she decided to go home with Jessica.
