Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 220 I Will Swallow This Liquor Bottle

The news of Rayna and Emma chatting at a cafe reached Curtis in just an hour, turning Curtis’ face as grim as death during a meeting.

All the executives in the conference room immediately shrank into their seats for fear of further upsetting the man.

“The meeting’s over!” With that, Curtis pushed his chair away and left the room before hurriedly dialing Theodore’s phone number.

At that moment, he was nothing if not troubled.

Curtis could not reach Theodore even after calling the man twice, unfortunately. On top of that, he received a few documents from Gabriel that required his immediate attention and had to join an international video conference, so he had no choice but to suppress his emotions until the business at hand was taken care of.

Sometime past six o’clock in the evening, Wyatt called. “Curtis, we’re waiting for you at the usual place! Did you see the news this morning? That was really something, huh?”

“Shut up,” ordered Curtis sternly before inquiring, “Is Theodore with you?”

“Yeah!”

After Curtis was done handling the work at hand, he drove over to the clubhouse and entered the usual VIP room filled with people he knew well.

“Hey, Curtis is here!” Wyatt removed his long legs from the table to make room for Curtis and poured the man a glass of brandy. “Would you like some?”

“No.” Curtis rejected by pushing the glass away.

“D*mn! I just got this delivered from Epea two days ago. Why would someone who appreciates good alcohol like you turn it down? Do you think it’s not high-end enough for you, Curtis?” responded Wyatt with an exaggerated expression.

With a half-smile, Jeremy teased, “It has more to do with the high alcohol percentage of the brandy than whether the drink is high-end enough. Why would Curtis want to get drunk in front of us?”

“Oh, I understand now.” Wyatt smiled deviously at Curtis. “No wonder you refuse to drink. It’s because Ms. Garland isn’t around.”
