Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 266 Speaks With A Forked Tongue

Soon, Saturday arrived.

Rayna had quite a few evening gowns in her closet, so she was planning to wear one of those to attend the banquet. When she was getting ready, Johnny Haeg, a secretary at Faymon Group, arrived with two huge boxes.

One of the boxes was for Rayna, while the other one was for Jessica.

In a helpless tone, Johnny said, “When I was collecting the gowns from the shop, I bumped into Mr. Lopez. Mr. Lopez told me to bring this here for Ms. Jessica. He has already gone to the hotel with Mr. Faymon.”

“I’m not interested in attending cocktail receptions…” Jessica muttered while opening the box. Once she caught a glimpse of the gown, she changed her tone instantly. “I shouldn’t keep sitting at home! I should go out!”

Rayna was amused.

Upon putting on the gowns, Jessica and Rayna left the house together. When they were getting their hair done at the salon, Jessica glanced at her phone and gasped before saying to Rayna, “Do you know what I’ve just found out?”

“What?” Rayna asked.

“We’re wearing designer gowns that are only supposed to launch in spring next year during the fashion show!” Jessica exclaimed. “I’ve never worn something that hasn’t been launched yet! This is so cool!”

“It’s so nice to be rich, isn’t it?”

Rayna would occasionally splurge on herself and buy high-end gowns. However, she didn’t wear them often, so she never thought she would need to spend so much money on gowns that weren’t launched yet.

She fiddled with the ring on her ring finger and thought about something. Ever since I started mixing around with Curtis, my mindset has gradually changed. Besides, I’m also meeting different people. People such as Theodore, Wyatt, Jasmine, and Mr. Chambers are all the elites of the social circle. They’re different from the people from the high society Jefferson introduced me to. Those people from the high society made me feel uneasy. On the other hand, hanging out with Theodore and the rest is a walk in the park. I never needed to do anything to blend in. In other words, they don’t make me feel inferior. Over the past year, Curtis has really given me a lot of things.

“What’s on your mind, Nana?” Jessica caught Rayna smiling. “Look at you! You look like you’ve skipped winter and landed in spring all of a sudden.”

Rayna flashed a faint smile and answered, “It’s nothing. I suddenly realized how nice Mr. Faymon is.”

Feeling shunned, Jessica grumbled, “You’re a woman who speaks with a forked tongue! Before this, I asked if you were into Mr. Faymon, and you said no. Now, you’re saying you like him. Oh, women are so fickle-minded.”

Rayna simply ignored her.
