His Precious Love

“Oh, I understand now.” Wyatt smiled deviously at Curtis. “No wonder you refuse to drink. It’s because

Ms. Garland isn’t around.”

“Curtis, you can drink if you want to,” uttered Jeremy before taking a pill out of a small box. “I got this

from the research center. You won’t ever get drunk again after taking it.”

Then, Wyatt thoughtfully poured Curtis a glass of warm water to go with the pill. “Water will make it

easier to swallow.”

“You just wasted your capitalists’ money on useless research!” scoffed Curtis.

“How is a pill that could prevent someone from getting drunk useless?” asked Jeremy. “Since it’s

unavailable in the market, many would pay a fortune to get some.”

“I think Curtis doesn’t want it because he’s afraid that it would get in the way of his relationship with Ms.

Garland,” stated Wyatt directly.

In response, Curtis looked daggers at the man. “You sure do have a lot to say, don’t you? Maybe I should

sew your mouth shut.”

After Wyatt sighed and slumped into the couch, Curtis looked around for Theodore. “Where’s Theodore?”

“He went out to answer a call,” replied Jeremy. “His phone rang before we could ask him about the news.

Then, you arrived.”

“Theodore couldn’t have fallen for Rayna, could he?” Wyatt inquired curiously like a gossipmonger while

touching his lips. “I couldn’t tell at all since he always treated Rayna so coldly.”

“First, you announced that you’d be marrying Ms. Sanders next month. Then, Theodore was rumored to

be marrying Ms. Garland soon. What the heck is going on?” Jeremy felt as though he was about to have

a serious headache.

“Curtis, you know Theodore still hasn’t gotten over Ms. Sanders, right? What’s going on between you

two? Are you fighting over a woman?” questioned Jeremy while giving Curtis a strange look.

“Jasmine needs my help to get six percent of the shares from Mr. Sanders, so as soon as she gets it,

we’ll hold a press conference to clarify our relationship to the public,” explained Curtis calmly.

Being the troublemaker that he was, Wyatt uttered, “Curtis, you’ve always been heartless. You don’t

seem to have any problem using Ms. Garland, so why would you risk your reputation to help Ms.

Sanders? Have you fallen for her?”

Click! Suddenly, the door to the room opened, and Theodore walked in with his long legs. Even though

he had heard Wyatt’s words, his face remained stoic.

“Theodore, care to explain what the morning news was about?” Curtis was the first to question Theodore

after he and the others instinctively shifted their attention to the man.

Despite knowing that Theodore was not the type of person Rayna would fall for, Curtis still felt

uncomfortable after seeing the news.

“My mother saw me meeting with Rayna last time.” Theodore did not bring up the contract. “She thought

I had feelings for Rayna, so she went to Rayna and even got a reporter involved.”

“Haha! Your mother did all that just to force you to get married, huh? She’s pretty crafty if nothing else,”

remarked Wyatt, amused by what he had heard. “Is she worried that you can’t find yourself a wife?”

Curtis’ eyebrows finally relaxed after listening to Theodore. “Since it’s only a misunderstanding, I’ll let the

Public Relations Department handle the situation.”

“No need.” Theodore turned down the offer. “I’ll handle it. You’re marrying Ms. Sanders next month, so I

don’t want you to be connected to any scandal.”

“Theodore, the relationship between Ms. Sanders and me is purely professional,” explained Curtis

because he knew Theodore had misunderstood. “We only arranged for a fake marriage so she could get

Sanders Group’s shares.”

A fake marriage? So they don’t have feelings for each other? Theodore furrowed his eyebrows tightly in

silence.

“Theodore, I don’t want you to misunderstand my relationship with Ms. Sanders. In fact, I only agreed to

help her because of you,” added Curtis.

“Curtis, Ms. Sanders promised you something, didn’t she?” Jeremy was clever, so he guessed there was

more to Curtis’ cooperation with Jasmine than the man let on. “Knowing Theodore’s relationship with her,

you wouldn’t have worked with her for no good reason.”

“A high-speed railway station is to be built in the eastern district, and bidding has begun,” Curtis revealed

since there was no point in hiding the truth.

“Well, I’ll be d*mned! That’s quite the lion’s share!” With his interest piqued, Wyatt curiously inquired, “But

why have I never heard you mention this during the meetings? I’m at Faymon Group too.”

“That’s because Curtis is trying to help a certain someone’s company,” chimed in Jeremy with a half-

smile.

“A certain someone… Hatchair Group?” Wyatt was so shocked that he spewed his brandy. “I’ll swallow

this liquor bottle if you still deny that you have feelings for Ms. Garland, Curtis!”

“Theodore and Curtis may look heartless, but they’re actually hopeless romantics,” stated Jeremy with a

sigh. “I’m glad we cleared things up today. Otherwise…”

“Otherwise, we’d probably get one heck of a show!” joked Wyatt, chuckling.

Curtis ignored the others and turned to Theodore instead. “I’ve already told you everything. All you have

to do is say the word, and I’ll stop working with Ms. Sanders immediately; we’ll cancel the fake marriage.”

However, Theodore simply kept quiet and stared blankly at the floor.

Ten seconds later, the glass in his hand suddenly shattered. “What did I do to deserve to fall under her

spell?” Theodore could not understand why his path had to be intertwined with Jasmine’s again.

“Why don’t you tell me about you and Ms. Sanders, Theodore? Let me help you with your trouble.” Wyatt

then leaned in and acted as if he was a caring brother.

In response, Theodore glared at the man. “Get the heck away from me!”

“Come on. I just want to be helpful.”

“Get lost!”

Just when Wyatt was grumbling while moving back to his seat, somebody suddenly kicked the door

open.

The person who stormed in was none other than Jessica.

After finding Wyatt, she started swinging her handbag at the man as tears flowed down her cheeks. “If

you wanted to break up with me, you could’ve just told me! You didn’t have to be such a jerk!”
