Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 152 Avoiding Curtis

“What kind of terrible doctor would say such a thing?” Rayna frowned. She unlocked her phone, pulled up a doctor’s contact card, and slid her phone over to Wyatt. “Call up this doctor instead. Get him to attend to Mr. Faymon from now on.”

Wyatt glanced at the screen. Then, he leaned forward conspiratorially and asked in a teasing tone, “Ms. Garland, you seem to care a lot about Curtis’ wellbeing. Why is that so?”

Although Curtis did dismiss some of his housekeepers, it was merely because he wanted some peace and quiet. In fact, he was, doing perfectly fine in his mansion. Wyatt, on the other hand, was feeling bored, so he was up to mischief. He had always noticed that Curtis accorded special treatment to Rayna, which was why he swung by to sound her out.

Well, well, well. This is getting more and more fun!

Rayna pursed her lips and replied in a calm voice, “You’re overthinking it, Mr. Lopez. After all, Mr. Faymon is my boss. It is in my best interest that he pulls himself together so that I can be relieved of my responsibility.”

Wyatt laughed. “In that case, you’re a very dedicated employee indeed. Anyone who isn’t aware that you are working for him would think that you are his lover.”

She was stunned speechless by his audacity.

I knew I shouldn’t have entertained his shameless banter!

Rubbing her brows, she tried to make him leave again. “Mr. Lopez, I’m very busy. Please see yourself out!”

“Come on. Don’t be like this. I’m being serious here. Curtis is in bad shape,” Wyatt insisted. “Do you want to come with me to go check on him?”

“No, I don’t have the time. I’m busy.”

“Ms. Garland, are you avoiding Curtis?” he asked curiously.

Before Rayna had the chance to reply, Wyatt stroked his chin in mock contemplation and continued, “Every time I bring up Curtis when you contact me, you would reply to me perfunctorily. Has he done something terrible to you?”

“No.”

“Then why are you making excuses?” He raised his eyebrows at her. “Is it because you’ve fallen in love with Curtis and want to put some distance between the two of you after learning that he and Ms. Sanders are engaged?”
