Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 215 Curtis Says One Thing And Does The Other

The long and passionate kiss dizzied Rayna. For a moment, she lost herself in the intimate exchange but soon punched his chest from the lack of breath.

Once Curtis let go of her, she immediately backed away and stuck herself close to the shelf. “Mr. Faymon, I’m going to sue you for sexual harassment!” she snarled, glaring at him.

At that, the man loosened his tie even more. His narrowed eyes carried a hint of playfulness, showing how scheming he could be. “Sure. Let’s also include the incident at the bar from half a year ago.”

“Y-You’re shameless!” Every one of his actions on that day gave Rayna the impression that she barely knew him. “You were the one who said we’ll write off that incident if I followed you to seal that business deal in Tyrandas.”

“That’s right, but that business deal wasn’t sealed.” Curtis took advantage of the loophole in her words as he gently placed his arm next to her head. “Besides, after that, I helped you again.”

Rayna was choked with fury.

Did he lose his mind or something? Why did he become so flirty?

“Rayna, the car accident was my fault; I used you.” Curtis’ tone suddenly became serious. “But I’ve never thought of you as a pawn. You’re worthy of my trust.”

He had been in the business world for so long, and the women around him consisted of businesswomen, celebrities, lawyers, and even socialites. All those years, the only person he could trust was Kristie.

As of then, he could also place his trust in Rayna.

When he sought her help, it was undeniable that he thought of using her to achieve his own goals. However, it was more accurate to say that he wanted to push her to her limits and make her shine.

His words brought up the pain in Rayna’s heart.

If it were not for Curtis’ nudge, she would not be where she was then. Indeed, she should thank him, but she still could not reconcile herself to Julian’s death.

A person died. This isn’t a data spreadsheet that can be restored if it’s gone.

“Mr. Faymon, it’s all in the past now. There’s no use bringing it up.” Rayna titled her body and brushed past him to leave. Her flat tone of voice caused Curtis to press his lips together tightly.

Annoyance filled his heart, and he slammed his fist on the shelf.

Later, when the two of them walked together once again, it was evident that there was an awkward tension between them. Rayna was purposely putting some distance between Curtis and herself. Even when they were paying for the groceries, she insisted on paying for them herself.

Gabriel was also bemused.
