His Precious Love

Chapter 116 Because You Have Fallen For Him

Rayna’s action sent shivers up Jessica’s spine. While walking to the elevator, Jessica could not help but advise, “Don’t take it out on your car since it didn’t do you wrong. What if you damaged the door? You’ll have to send it to the workshop for repair.”

Rayna responded in a calm voice, “Am I angry? I don’t think so. Why should I be angry?”

“Look at you. Pretty sure everyone can read the expression on your face,” Jessica muttered. “I know you’re feeling down. Why don’t you talk to Mr. Faymon? Tell him you don’t want him to get married.”

“He can marry anyone he likes. It has nothing to do with me,” Rayna uttered.

Jessica said, “You’re in love with him.”

“No, I’m not,” Rayna denied.

“If you’re not in love with him, why would you be mad when you learned about his engagement?”

“I’m not mad. I’m just…” Words caught in Rayna’s throat. She scratched her head as her frustration grew. I don’t even know why I’m so annoyed!

Jessica tapped the back of one hand against her other palm as if she saw through Rayna. “See? You’ve fallen for him, but you refuse to admit it. Why are you hiding your feelings? Mr. Faymon is wealthy and handsome, and you’re a good match for him! Even though you didn’t come from a prominent family, you’re a Norham University graduate! Besides that, Mr. Faymon knows you’re smart. That was why he transferred you to a new department and made you a manager. There’s a vast difference between a manager and an ordinary employee. You know that, right?”

“That’s not how I think of him. Besides, he’s Julian’s uncle, so…”

Realization dawned on Jessica upon hearing that. “So that’s your concern, huh? Why let that bother you, Rayna? Now that you’ve divorced Julian, you can marry anyone you like. I’m sure the Faymons will have no problem with you dating Curtis.”

Frustration continued to overwhelm Rayna. She interrupted Jessica, “Enough. So what if I have feelings for him? He’s engaged now. Let’s just put this behind us.”

‘But you…” Jessica did not want to give up persuading Rayna, but upon noticing the murderous glance Rayna shot her, Jessica became ashen-faced.

Knowing Rayna was having a tough time accepting the news, Jessica decided not to rub salt into her wound anymore.

The two women did not speak to each other throughout the walk to the supermarket. Even after they had filled the shopping carts with groceries and made the payment at the counter, they remained silent. While Rayna did not feel like talking because she was frustrated, Jessica kept mum because she dared not add fuel to the fire.
