Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 252 No Way I Am Cooking For You

While taking the elevator to the CEO’s office, Rayna thought it would be too conspicuous of her to go up just like that and got off halfway. There, she bumped into an ex-colleague from the Department of Regulators and briefly chatted with the latter.

The department did not get disbanded after Faymon Group’s reshuffling. The company retained the department’s staff, and they continued going about their usual investigations.

However, since there was not much to do, they were usually quite free most of the time.

The ex-colleague even greeted Rayna as “manager” and asked, “When are you coming back? Our department has no leader at its helm, and we don’t have much work. We worry about when we’ll get fired every day!”

She chuckled and answered somewhat vaguely, “Indeed, I’m here because I have some business to attend to. However, where I’m to be assigned is up to Mr. Faymon. I’ll be heading up, then.”

After walking away, she took out her phone and sent Gabriel a text.

However, Curtis was the one using the WhatsApp account at that moment. In other words, that meant her text was sent to him.

Rayna: Are you busy, Mr. Tylinski? Could you help me take Mr. Faymon’s lunch up to him? There are too many people on the top floor, and they’ll gossip when they see me.

Curtis was displeased when he saw that message.

Honestly, this woman chats happily with Gabriel every time and can talk to him about everything under the sun but hides from me as though I’m some disease. Is she still afraid of others finding out? Am I that disgraceful?

He replied: It’ll be better for you to deliver it yourself, Ms. Garland. I’m swamped as I’m leaving this afternoon.

Rayna: In that case, could you ask one of the secretaries to come downstairs?

Curtis: Is Mr. Faymon someone you can’t be seen with? Besides, aren’t you returning to Faymon Group? Does this mean you’re not going to report to him about your work in the future?

Rayna: Argh! He really has a big mouth and is even more unreliable than a woman!

Curtis could not help thinking that it did not count if he was the one who said it.

After exchanging a few more texts with “Gabriel” without getting anywhere, Rayna finally closed the messaging app and slowly made her way to the top floor.
