His Precious Love

Chapter 262 Doing You A Favor

Curtis’ gaze turned dark as he listened to those words. “I asked Wyatt to check the surveillance footage and saw Mr. Ziegler walking past you. He even smiled and said something to you. I didn’t expect him to pull off such a trick.”

“He was only reminding me to be careful.” Speaking of which, Rayna was inundated with fear upon recalling the scene on that fateful day. “Had I not gone to chat with Mr. Xavier, I would’ve been…”

A wave of guilt washed over Curtis on that note. The man caressed the woman’s dainty cheek and apologized, “Sorry. It was my negligence.”

Rayna shook her head instead. “No, I’m the one who should’ve been more careful. Besides, you’re the organizer of the cocktail reception of Faymon Group, so if you had been giving ear to me all the time, you’d only be opening up avenues of gossip.”

“But I worry about your safety. It’d be best to also let Wyatt give you a hand on this matter.”

“No way. You guys shouldn’t intervene,” refuted Rayna, wearing a grim visage. “You should know better than anyone how paranoid Mr. Ziegler is. If Wyatt were to step in now, I bet he’ll notice it and flee. Plus, don’t you underestimate my little brother. He’s really something, I must say. Just let us handle it ourselves. We’ll be fine. If you really want to offer your help, maybe you could secretly freeze all his assets and prevent him from going abroad.”

Arching a brow, Curtis flashed a faint grin. “There’s someone watching at the customs, so he won’t be able to leave this country.”

Then came an astonishment on Rayna’s face. “You’ve even arranged for that already?”

“I’ve long laid the trap,” said Curtis nonchalantly, brushing his fingers across her cheek. “However, since my girlfriend is so capable of taking matters into her own hands, I ought to show her some respect.”

“Hey!” Glaring at Curtis, Rayna mumbled in dissatisfaction, “Who are you calling your girlfriend? What a thick-skinned guy!”

“Don’t you see me as your boyfriend, Ms. Garland?”

“Of course, not!”

Curtis grunted in return while falling into deep thought. “So, Ms. Garland, do you remember bringing me to the amusement park, forcing me to change clothes, kissing me, and catching a movie with me? What were you trying to tell me?”

Rayna was bereft of speech then and there. “T-That… I was…”

“I know you have a thing for me, Ms. Garland.” Curtis curled his thin lips upward and chuckled softly. “But you’re too shy to say it. It’s okay, though. I can feel it.”

“No, I don’t!” came Rayna’s retort, her gaze flickered. Daily new chapters upload Only On Alaniniz(dot)com “What a cosmic level of narcissism you must possess.”

“Oh, really?” The man sidled up to her and leaned his face toward hers. His scent enveloped her tightly like vines. “Don’t you ever feel entranced? Not even when we locked our lips?”
