His Precious Love

Chapter 256 Never Thought I Would Like You This Much 1

“Why are you here?” Rayna was taken aback and yanked him inside when she remembered they were still in the office, turning on the frosted glass panels to shield themselves from prying eyes.

“Ms. Garland, we’re at Faymon Group,” Curtis reminded her brusquely. “It’s well within my rights to visit any department I want. You’re behaving… like a criminal now.”

I’m not someone to be ashamed of!

She huffed, “It’s fine if you go to other departments, but now people are starting to talk about us. What will they think when you show up here?”

“So you’re avoiding me, but not Gabriel?”

“Why would I have to avoid him?” Rayna was bewildered. “He’s an assistant, so even if he shadows me frequently, people will assume we’re doing our jobs and wouldn’t think twice.”

She quickly made the connection and shot Curtis a wary look. “Mr. Tylinski was suddenly transferred to the Norham branch…”

“There’s a manpower shortage; I have nothing against him,” he replied evenly as if he hadn’t driven Gabriel out of the office two days ago from sheer jealousy. “I can bring you to Norham if you don’t believe me.”

“It’s too cold. I’m not interested,” Rayna declined before asking again, “Is there anything else, Mr. Faymon?”

Curtis waved his phone at her, his gaze darkening. “You read my WhatsApp messages, but why didn’t you respond?”

“I’m a little busy at the moment.”

“It only takes a few seconds.” He took a step closer to her.

She retreated until her back pressed against the wall, and she had nowhere to go. At that point, both of them were standing very close together.

Hunching her shoulders, she tried to pull away from him.

“Mr. Faymon, if you have something to say, then say it, but keep a proper distance between us.”

The more nervous she was, trying to avoid arousing suspicion, the more Curtis wanted to tease her. He propped his arm on the wall, chuckling as he leaned forward to look into her eyes. “There have been far more intimate moments than this.”

“Curtis Faymon!” Rayna’s face flushed all the way to the tips of her ears. She whacked him with her fist and glared at him. “Act your age, and stop behaving like a rascal!”

“Am I wrong—”
