His Precious Love

Chapter 229 Appeasing Curtis

How will Curtis be able to change his term of address when he finds out about it later?

“How could I not take his words to heart when he has entrusted me with an important task?” Rayna replied. “I’m in a real quandary right now. After all, I don’t have many female friends.”

Curtis sensed that something was amiss, so he asked, “What did he say to you?”

She shot him a look and teased, “Old Mr. Faymon said you’re no longer young since you’re already in your thirties and that if I have any friend whom I think may be a good match for you, I should introduce her to you.”

“Are you trying to aggravate me?” he questioned.

“No. Old Mr. Faymon did say that,” Rayna replied. Stroking her chin in contemplation, she suggested, “How about my younger sister, Roxanne? Even though she’s not that bright, I think most guys find her adorable.”

The car came to a sudden halt, and the inertia almost threw her toward the windshield.

Curtis quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the car door on her side, and ordered in a cold voice, “Get out!”

“You’ve got to be kidding me! The road’s full of cars.” Rayna noticed there were vehicles in front and behind them, so she used all her might to close the car door. “If you don’t want to get to know Roxanne, I can just help you look for another girl.”

Curtis was rendered speechless.

The drivers behind them started honking at them.

Noticing that Curtis would not budge, Rayna urged, “Hey, start driving. What if we bump into a driver with road rage?”

Without uttering a word, he started the engine. However, he took a turn after passing the traffic light.

“This isn’t the way to my office or house,” Rayna remarked. Thinking that he had taken a wrong turn, she added, “Take a U-turn at the next traffic light.”

“Rayna Garland!” Curtis called out, a sneer playing about his lips. “It seems like I’m being too lenient with you!”

Rayna looked at him warily and asked, “What do you mean?”

“Oh, you’ll know what I mean later,” he said.
