His Precious Love

Chapter 100 That Time Of The Month

“No,” Rayna replied honestly. Although Edith had been bullying her many times, Rayna was content with making sure Edith didn’t get that position. She never once wanted that position for herself.

I knew it was a tough position to hold ever since I chatted with Mr. Lawson at the golf course. Even to this day, I still don’t believe that he died of a heart attack. The workplace politics at Faymon Group is incredibly complicated. Most of the employees are either on Mr. Saunders’ or Mr. Grant’s side. They’re all fighting for power, whereas I just want to do my job and get paid. I want no part of this power struggle at all. I’ve already done my part by accompanying Uncle Curtis on that business trip to Tyrandas.

“I can tell you have no ambition, Ms. Garland,” Curtis said with a chuckle and stared at her in amusement.

Feeling uncomfortable by his gaze, Rayna asked, “W-Why are you still here, Uncle Curtis?”

For some reason, she would always panic whenever Curtis looked at her like that. Every word he said felt like a trap that was just waiting for her to walk into it.

Is Uncle Curtis trying to pull some kind of trick on me again?

“Well, you are an employee of Faymon Group. I can’t just leave you here all by yourself,” Curtis replied as he glanced at his watch. Half an hour had passed, and there was still no sign of anyone coming over to pick her up.

Eventually, it was Naomi who arrived to pick Curtis up.

“I don’t think your friend is coming, Ms. Garland. How about I send you home instead?” Curtis asked.

“Oh, that won’t be necessary! She’s probably stuck in a jam or something. Let me call her again…” Rayna replied after a brief pause.

As she bent over to search for her phone, she lost her balance and fell forward. Fortunately, Curtis had fast reflexes and managed to catch her in time. Rayna burned bright red as she looked up at him. She was about to say something but ended up burping all of a sudden.

The sweet stench of alcohol hit Curtis square in the face.

Rayna felt so embarrassed that she forgot to thank him for catching her.

Curtis couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement. She sure is an interesting one! I watched her outsmart a bunch of people with her wits, only to have her burp in my face like a child.
