His Precious Love

Chapter 277 You Are So Cruel

It took Rayna a long while to recompose herself.

Examining the photos again, she noticed that they looked familiar.

Opening her album, she compared it to the picture of Curtis she had accidentally taken a long time ago

in the hotel. Other than his head being cut off, the rest of the picture was a match.

This picture has been in my phone album. How did Mrs. Xavier get it?

Rayna brooded over the matter. She was filled with frustration at the thought of Theodore’s father’s rank

and his mother’s behavior.

This woman is really wicked!

She took a deep breath and gave Jasmine a call. “Did you see the news in the entertainment section?

The reporters made things up. It isn’t me and Theodore in that photo.”

“I know.” Jasmine chuckled over the line. “I can recognize the body of my man with a single glance.”

Rayna cleared her throat before changing the topic. “Mrs. Xavier is the one behind this. When I was

eating with Carl at the cocktail reception last night, she approached me to force me to marry Theodore.

Both of us got into an argument thereafter.”

Rayna went on to tell Jasmine about the contract.

Jasmine seemed to be even more elated after listening to Rayna’s words. “Thanks for this. That’s how

she has always been. She’s willing to do anything just to get rid of me.”

“You sound… happy?” Rayna was baffled. “How can you be happy over something like that?”

Jasmine smiled. “Shouldn’t I be happy to know that my man cares about me? By the way, are you free

on Friday? I would like to treat you to a meal to thank you.”

After checking the calendar, Rayna realized she couldn’t spare the time. “I’ve taken leave and will be

going on a vacation.”

“With Mr. Faymon?”

“No. My friend won three tickets to an all-expense-paid trip to Jetroina via a lucky draw,” Rayna said.

“Since I’m due for a break, I decided to go with her.”

“I see… It’s been a long time since I had a break too. Can I come along with you?”

“Sure. I’ll let her know.”

“It’s fine. Just give me her number. I want to talk to her about something else.”

“All right.”

Before they ended the call, the sound of shuffling documents could be heard from Jasmine’s end. Daily

snacks and wine. Sanders Group currently owns a few stores in Obelisk Mall. One of their tenancy

agreements has ended. I’ll get my assistant to send the contract over to Faymon Group. It will be my way

of thanking you.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Rayna declined cordially. “Treating me to a meal is enough.”

“I’m sure you know how reluctant I am to rent the place on the cheap. I might as well let you have it to

repay my debt of gratitude. If you think it’s too much, just send me the delicious snacks your mother

makes next time.”

“Sure. Thank you!” Rayna felt it rude to refuse.

“You’re welcome.”

After giving Jasmine Jessica’s number, Rayna watched as her colleague enter with documents in her

hands.

“Ms. Garland, Mr. Faymon wants you to sign this.”

“Why does he insist on having me deal with this when he can do so himself?” Rayna grumbled as she

quickly signed her name on the last page. As Curtis had gone through it, it wasn’t necessary for her to

take another look.

No sooner had the colleague closed the door behind her with the signed document than a group of

people surrounded her. “We heard the secretarial department mention that this contains the

management rights of Obelisk Mall. Is it true? Show us!”

“In your dreams!” The colleague shooed the group away with the document. “Mr. Faymon said to keep

this confidential, yet you guys had to gossip about it. Do you want to get yourselves fired?”

“We were just discussing it among ourselves. It’s not like we’ll reveal it to any outsiders.”

Within Faymon Group, it was effortless to trace any leaks to their source. As Rayna was also their

department manager, the last thing they wanted was to be fired by her.

The colleague relented with a nod. “It’s indeed the management rights of Obelisk Mall.”

“Wow!”

Everyone gasped in shock and turned to look at Rayna, who was sitting behind the glass door. Filled with

admiration, one of them commented, “Obelisk Mall rakes in a profit of a few hundred million annually. Did

Mr. Faymon really give it to Ms. Garland just like that?”

Another speculated, “You guys saw the news, right? The Xavier family is also considered one of Norwal

City’s most influential families. Do you think Mr. Faymon presented the gift to Ms. Garland because he

was jealous after reading it?”

“Mr. Faymon is really generous to give away a mall just like that. I’m really impressed!”

“In that case, who’s Ms. Garland going to choose?”

“I’m dying to know too.”

All of a sudden, a mischievous laugh rang out. “I think Ms. Garland should accept more presents from

them. That way, she’ll soon be rich enough to be her own boss. Wouldn’t that be great?”

Buried in her work, Rayna was oblivious to the fact that Curtis had given her another present.

In the afternoon, Jessica arrived at Rayna’s office with two boxes of food.

They were from Good Times Restaurant, and everyone in Rayna’s department received a lunch box

each. Throwing the food a glance, Rayna asked in surprise, “What’s the occasion? Why are you treating

us to lunch all of a sudden?”

Jessica replied with a giggle, “I struck it rich!”

“Did you win a bet with Wyatt?”

“It’s meaningless to win his money. They’re mine anyway.” Puckering her lips, Jessica opened Rayna’s

lunch box for her and said mysteriously, “I got it from Ms. Sanders.”

“Oh… I gave her your contact. She wants the buy the third ticket to join us on our trip.”

“Do you know how much she gave me?”

“How much?”

Jessica made a “V” sign with her fingers and her smile broadened. “Two million!”

Rayna choked on her food. After getting a quick drink of water and regaining her composure, she asked,

“The trip costs twenty thousand at most. Why did you take two million from her?”

“She insisted on giving me that much. What am I supposed to do?” Jessica shrugged before grabbing

Rayna’s hand abruptly with a pitiful expression. “Nana, you have to forgive me if I have done anything

wrong!”

Her gesture caused Rayna’s hair to stand on end. “Did you sold me out?”

“Not really…” In a way, it’s not far from that.

An hour later, Wyatt discovered Jessica’s social media post, which was hidden from Rayna.

“What the hell?” He sprang up from the couch in shock.

“What’s wrong with you this time?” Curtis snapped. “Just a moment ago, you were being lackadaisical

during our discussion. And now, you got all excited all of a sudden. I think you’re really suited to become

a doorman at a hotel.”

Wyatt exclaimed, “Jessie and Rayna are going to Jetroina with Jasmine!”

Curtis let out a snort. “So what? Do you always need to keep her by your side?”

“F*ck! Since when did I put any restrictions on her social circle? Jessie posted it online herself!” Wyatt

showed him the phone. “Look what she posted.”

Jessie: Hurray! I’m going to Jetroina with my girlfriends. We’ll be going on the Blue Whale cruise ship.

Are there any handsome guys out there going at the same time as us? There are two single girls among

us!

Rayna’s and Jasmine’s photos were attached below. Looking perfectly gorgeous, they could captivate

anyone who laid eyes on them.

Curtis’ gaze darkened in response. “What in the world is she up to?”

“I just checked her Twitter account with an alternate account of mine. It appears that she won three

tickets to Jetroina.” Wyatt placed a hand on Curtis’ shoulder. “Despite how handsome I am, my other half

is still looking to date other men.”

“Get your hands off me!”

Wyatt gradually retrieved his hand. “You’re so cruel. You’re no longer the friend you used to be.”
