Curtis rummaged through the kitchen and was slightly surprised to see that the cupboard was stocked with snacks.
Why in the world did Gabriel buy so many snacks?
After checking the production dates, Curtis chose a few that looked delicious for Rayna.
“There’s more in the cupboard if this isn’t enough.”
“Thank you.” Truly famished, Rayna ripped open a bag of chips unabashedly and began digging in. At the same time, she felt for the remote and turned on the TV before slumping languidly onto the couch.
Happy jumped up to join her and nestled itself by her legs, whereas Lucky lay down on the carpet with its tail wagging in glee.
Curtis couldn’t help but smile as he took in the scene.
She really has made herself at home.
Worried that he would say something wrong and cause her to cry again, Curtis settled down by the side to deal with his work.
Just as he had gone through a few emails, Gabriel, who was sent to buy buns, finally returned.
At the sight of him entering with a few bags in hand, Curtis dropped what he was doing to help Gabriel. “What else did you come back with when I only asked you to get some buns?”
“Mr. Faymon, I didn’t manage to get any. All the shops selling them are closed,” Gabriel said as he changed out of his shoes. “Fortunately, the supermarket is still open. I got some flour and cheese instead. I can make the buns for you!”
Curtis’ brows knitted slightly. “You actually know how to make them?”
“I do. I know how to make all sorts of buns and I guarantee Ms. Garland will find them delicious!”
Curtis was at a loss for words.
When he saw Curtis standing motionless, Gabriel added, “Mr. Faymon, please step aside. The flour still needs time to ferment. Once Ms. Garland finishes them, I’ll send her home right away. The rain is getting heavier. I have no idea when it’ll stop.”
“You head home first, then.” Curtis took the bags from him by force. “It’s time you go back and rest. You still need to take an early flight to Yeringham tomorrow.”
