His Precious Love

Chapter 318 Work For Me

Upon arriving at the CEO’s office, Rayna vaguely heard voices inside. I wonder if there are guests

inside.

She knocked on the door politely.

“Come in,” Curtis said before continuing his conversation.

Rayna opened the door and entered, but she didn’t see any guests. Instead, Curtis was sitting at his

desk, in the middle of a video call. Sensing movement, he lifted his head to glance at her before

focusing on his laptop again.

Rayna tiptoed her way to his desk, then placed his lunch box on it and waited for him silently.

Curtis spoke in rapid Anglandurn, but his pronunciation was clear.

Rayna could tell it was regarding exports and trading, and there were a few documents about it on his

desk. Every time Curtis reached out to grab a document, she would hand it over to him first.

The conversation regarding exports and trade lasted for half an hour.

After the call ended, Curtis removed his earpiece.

Although the video conference lasted nearly two hours, he was still energetic, showing no sign of

fatigue.

Rayna handed him a cup of coffee and said in admiration, “You live up to your name, Mr. Faymon.

They are a difficult company to work with, but you managed to convince them and even set a date for

the signing of the contract.”

Curtis arched his brows and explained, “Know what the other party wants and offer them that. Since he

thinks the profit is low, I’ll give him the price he wants.”

Rayna gave him a sidelong glance. “Are you really that kind?”

“I can’t control whether or not he deducts fees in other areas.” Curtis took a sip of coffee. “One can’t

only make money and not spend money when it comes to business.”

“Indeed, a capitalist is intelligent. You’re amazing.” Rayna knew she could not match up to him. She

opened the lunch box and took out the food. “My mom asked me to bring you lunch. I remember you

don’t like to eat grilled pork, so how about I finish that for you?”

Pulling the lunch box to his side to prevent Rayna from taking it, Curtis said, “My taste has changed.

Besides, I cannot let my mother-in-law’s kindness go to waste.”

Rayna rolled her eyes. “You’re so shameless. You didn’t even propose to me, and you’re already

calling her your mother-in-law.”

Curtis glanced at her hand. “Aren’t you wearing a ring?”

“We got it from winning a game!”

“I get it now. You think it’s not grand and romantic enough.” Curtis reached for his phone. “I’ll ask the

designer to come over and talk to you. You can tell him the design of the ring you want.”

Immediately, Rayna snatched his phone away. “It’s a waste if you buy another ring! Just eat your food!”

If the designer really comes over, everyone in Faymon Group will know about my relationship with

Curtis this afternoon.

Curtis chuckled.

To prevent others from gossiping, Rayna planned on leaving after giving Curtis his lunch, but when he

offered to tell her about the project with Kingdoms Group, she walked back and sat beside him.

Curtis spoke about the project in an organized manner, while Rayna listened attentively.

When he finished telling her about the main points regarding the project, he, too, had finished eating.

“Leave it to me! I can do it well! If I don’t find something to do soon, my brain will turn rusty,” Rayna said

confidently while keeping the lunch box.

Curtis stroked his chin and asked, “Are you interested in becoming the vice CEO? You will have to

attend to lots of things, so you won’t have much free time.”

“Nope,” Rayna rejected without a second thought. “I would have accepted the position if I were in

another company since it’s a good opportunity to gain experience. But since I’m in Faymon Group, no.”

“Why?”

Rayna furrowed her brows. “Although our relationship is still a secret, some people have already

guessed there’s something between us since I come by your office so often. Many people were already

displeased when I was at the Department of Regulators. If I become the vice CEO, all the nasty words

will travel to the shareholders’ ears, and they will be dissatisfied with you.”

Curtis smiled faintly. “I own the most shares in Faymon Group, so why are you still afraid that the

shareholders will impeach me?”

“I’m not. I’m just afraid that something unpleasant will get out. I prefer to prove myself using my abilities

so that there’s nothing else they can say about me.”

Rayna flashed a confident smile that could melt anyone’s heart.

Curtis pulled her into his arms and kissed her long, soft fingers. “Seeing you grow every day and

become so capable makes me scared that I will be left behind,” he said with a chuckle.

Rayna grumbled, “I wish, but I know my abilities. If only you were dumber, then I wouldn’t have to feel

so stressed.”

“Mrs. Faymon, are you blaming me for being too smart?”

“Mm-hmm! I’ve decided! After I’ve gained the necessary skills at Faymon Group, I will start my own

company!” Rayna announced her future plans.

“Nice ambition.” Curtis nodded in approval. “Then, all the more you need to stay with me and observe

what kind of people I interact with to build your connections in preparation for starting your own

company. Where do you want to open the company?”

Rayna pointed outside the window and said confidently, “I’ll buy the building beside Faymon Group!”

“Sorry, but that’s also the property of Faymon Group.” Curtis sighed. “If I am to sell it, the price will at

least be three billion.”

“Three billion? Are you crazy?” Her eyes wide, Rayna took a deep breath. “Fine. Although I can’t afford

to buy it, I can rent it! I’ll snatch away all of Faymon Group’s business and make you bankrupt!”

Curtis’ eyes twinkled. “Judging from your confidence, I believe you have a high chance of succeeding.

Tell me, after you destroy Faymon Group, what do you plan to do?”

Rayna stared at him and smiled mysteriously. “I’ll make you work for me. I’ll be your boss!”

“Is this why you want to start your own company, Mrs. Faymon?”

“What’s wrong with that? You kept ordering me around back then, and I will never forget our business

trip to Tyrandas! I will put you, arrogant capitalists, in your place and make you all understand what

goes around comes around! I have long imagined the scene of you working for me.”

Curtis could not help but laugh.

She’s so cute when she speaks such bold words.

Rayna gave him a punch. “What are you laughing at? You don’t think I can do it?”

“No, I think you can, Mrs. Faymon,” Curtis said seriously, but his lips were still curled into a smile.

“When Faymon Group goes bankrupt, I’ll beg you to take me in and support me.”

Rayna rolled her eyes.

They chatted for a while longer before Rayna stood up to leave. She was afraid that the secretaries

would see her when they came in to deliver documents to Curtis.

At the door, she suddenly remembered the talisman and retrieved it from her pocket. She glanced at it,

then walked back and gave it to Curtis.

“Did you get this?” he asked.

“No, a friend in Jetroina got it,” Rayna replied as the image of that woman pleading when handing her

the talisman appeared in her mind.

I wonder why she did that.

“Then shouldn’t you keep it?” Curtis returned her the talisman.

“You keep it,” Rayna said, pushing it back.

She had a feeling that she would only be reassured if Curtis took the talisman.

“Consider it from me since I had it in my hands.”

Curtis chuckled.

As an atheist, he didn’t believe a talisman could keep him safe. However, since it was a token from the

woman he loved, he kept it.

After Rayna left, Curtis opened the drawer and put the talisman inside. It was then he accidentally

caught a glimpse of the images of the ancient gods embroidered on it.

Feeling an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he took the talisman out again to examine it.

The images of the ancient gods were not sewn by a machine but by someone, and their work was

brilliant. The ancient gods looked alive and awe-inspiring.

Curtis creased his forehead as that uncomfortable feeling from before welled up within him.

Why does the embroidery technique look so familiar?
