His Precious Love

Chapter 611

“This looks like the spring season limited edition haute couture from CL.” Rayna took out her phone and continued,

“It's quite expensive. I'll text you the exact price.”

Chandler waved his hands. “It's fine. Moreover, I was the one who stained your clothing. I should be the one to

compensate you for a new set of clothing.”

“Don't worry about it. I know it wasn't intentional. Also, you're not a top celebrity, your income is limited, and I don't

like to owe others favors.”

Seeing Rayna's insistence, Chandler stated an estimate and had her transfer the money to his account.

On the way back to the private room, Rayna's heel snagged onto the red carpet lining the floor, causing her to lose

her balance and spraining her ankle.

She had an old injury at the same spot, which amplified the pain. The sharp pain buckled her knees, nearly sending

her to the floor.

Chandler hurriedly went up to her and held her steady. Noticing the pale look on Rayna's face, he requested a

passing server to get some medication for Rayna while kicking the door to a nearby private room open and helping

her into a chair.

Before long, the server came back with an ice spray.

Chandler held the spray can to Rayna's sprained ankle and sprayed the cool mist. He heard a gasp of pain from

above and lifted his head in a rush, looking at Rayna with concern in his eyes. “Is it painful?”

“I'm fine.” Rayna glanced at her ankle. “Thank you. You can go ahead to the private room first. I'll take a break

here.”

I can't return to the room in this state. It looks like I'll have to go home.

Rayna thought he would leave after telling him directly, so she reached for her phone, ready to make a call.

At that moment, a call from Curtis came, and she urgently connected the call.

“Don't be mad. I have no choice but to be absent from the celebration dinner. Darling, I accidentally sprained my

ankle. It hurts so bad,” Rayna complained in a soft tone.

“Why didn't the pain send you keeling over?” His voice was deep and carried a sense of resignation. “Where are

you?”

“At Gratia—”

Rayna was about to reply with a chuckle when a man's body intruded on her personal space and wrapped her in an

embrace.

“I like you, Rayna,” Chandler whispered right by her ear.

Rayna reacted quickly. To avoid making it hard to explain to Curtis later, she disconnected the call immediately and

then shoved Chandler away with force. With a stony expression, she raised her hand and slapped him across his

cheek.

Chandler was surprised by the slap. His confusion was reflected in his eyes.

“Chandler, please get things straight. I'm your superior!” Rayna's chest rose and fell with rapid breaths as she

warned, “The company is mine. It only takes a word from me to shut you out from the media!”

He looked nice and seemed likable when he first came into the room. I didn't imagine he would do something

inappropriate!

Chandler's throat bobbed a few times before he looked at Rayna with helplessness. “I'm sorry, Rayna. I've always

liked you. I couldn't help myself when I saw you today...”

Rayna rebuked coldly, “Didn't you see I was on the phone with my husband? Are you trying to cause a

misunderstanding between my husband and me? Are you trying to imply there was something between you and

me by hugging me abruptly and saying those words?”

“Rayna, that's not my intention—”

Rayna interrupted him and cautioned, “I don't care if it's toward me or other female celebrities in the company, but

I hope you can control yourself! Don't ruin your career due to a moment of stupidity!”

Chandler dropped his head and clasped his hands together in remorse. “I'm sorry, Rayna—”

“It's Ms. Garland to you!”

After Rayna cut him off, Chandler quickly corrected, “I'm sorry, Ms. Garland. I won't do something like this again.”

Rayna pointed at the door. “Get out!”

After he left, Rayna instantly called Curtis back.

However, she didn't expect his phone to be turned off.

The last thing she wanted to do after returning home was to get the silent treatment from Curtis. She cussed

Chandler under her breath and massaged her ankle.

When she tested out her leg and was sure she could still walk, she made her way back to the private room to get

her things.

She no longer cared what Larry Wingate and the investors wanted to discuss. She was still going to leave even if

they asked her to stay. The most important thing for her was to go back home and coax Curtis.

Rayna hobbled across the carpet without her heels on. She was walking with a limp due to the pain in her ankle.

When she finally got to the private room after much difficulty, she noticed the atmosphere in the room had

changed.

Larry wasn't chatting with any of the investors. Instead, the investors were talking with a man in a careful tone. The

celebrities and producers didn't dare to utter a single word.

Rayna was rooted in place, not daring to make a move. She held her breath, unsure whether she should enter the

room.

How did he get here so fast? Did he drive his sports car?

“Why are you standing in the doorway, Ms. Garland?” Larry crossed the room to her and noticed her bare feet. “Did

you hurt your foot?”

“Oh, it's nothing serious.” Rayna forced a smile on her face.

“Ms. Garland, we have a new guest. Let me introduce you.” Larry helped Rayna into the room, completely oblivious

to her mortification. “Do you know Mr. Faymon from Faymon Group?”

I not only know of him...

Larry moved a chair for Rayna to sit on and introduced Rayna to Curtis. “Mr. Faymon, this is our company's CEO,

Rayna Garland.”

Curtis raised his head and looked at Rayna with a piercing gaze. He had a faint smile on his face.

Curtis didn't comment. Instead, Taylor Thompson, who was seated to his left, said, “I'm sure you haven't heard of

her, Mr. Faymon. Ms. Garland is competent. She came from a poor background. Every accomplishment she

achieves is due to her hard work and effort. She's a capable woman. Say, Ms. Garland's company sure is lucky. She

acquitted Happy Entertainment and signed a celebrity like Chandler. Alas, Ms. Garland got married too early.

Otherwise, the line of men pursuing her would've stretched to Frosa.”

The corner of Rayna's lips twitched uncomfortably as she held her fake smile in place. At that moment, she wanted

nothing more than to grab Taylor by the collar and throw him out the window.

Is there something that's keeping his mouth open? Why can't he just shut up?

Curtis' gaze traveled to Rayna's swollen ankle. A frown marred his forehead. “You didn't treat it?”

“I did, but I sprained it over my old injury. It's a bit... serious.” With so many pairs of eyes focused on her and Curtis,

Rayna felt awkward as she spoke. “I'm just coming back to get my purse—”

Curtis ordered Larry, “Bring her purse over.”

The others in the room still couldn't grasp the situation.

Don't the rumors have it that Mr. Faymon had gotten married in secret, has a loving relationship with his wife, and

avoids women like the plague? But this situation...

Taylor's gaze darted between Curtis and Rayna before he finally smiled and said, “I never expected you to be such

a gentleman, Mr. Faymon. However, won't Mrs. Faymon be jealous of you treating other women kindly?”

Curtis unfastened a button on his suit before loosening his tie. “Who is the other woman you're referring to, Mr.

Thompson?” he drawled out.

Taylor was taken aback by his question and answered, “Ms. Garland, of course.”

“Then, that's only your opinion, Mr. Thompson.” Curtis shot Taylor an icy glance. “She's not any other woman.”

What is he saying?

Curtis pushed his chair back and rose to his full height. “I'm here to pick up my wife,” he said casually.

Larry had just handed over Rayna's purse to Curtis when he heard the shocking statement. Larry was dumbfounded

as his round eyes darted between Curtis and Rayna.

When his gaze finally returned to Curtis, he saw Curtis had already carried Rayna into his arms.

Rayna leaned into Curtis' embrace. When she caught Larry's eyes, despite the bewildered look on his face, she

flashed him a smile. “I'll leave the rest to you. I'm heading home.”

“Sure...” Larry nodded his head stiffly.

After Curtis left with Rayna in his arms, the room fell into a dead silence. Finally, five minutes later, Taylor broke the

silence. “Larry, don't you know about... your superior being Mrs. Faymon?” Larry chuckled. “I'm sure you jest, Mr.

Thompson. I'm a talent director. My job scope is to handle company matters. I'm not those reporters from gossip

columns who want to monitor my superior's every move and surveil her private life.”

Another investor sighed. “I thought Ms. Garland didn't have anyone supporting her. Yet, it looks like there's more to

her than meets the eye. One of them is the CEO of Excellent Entertainment Company, while the other is the CEO of

Happy Entertainment. This couple is a powerful one.”

Excellent Entertainment Company had Kristie, who was famous despite not being active in acting for a year.

However, following her continuous TV shows premiering, she managed to keep her number one spot on the

trending news. Moreover, after the nasty scandal Happy Entertainment had been through, they got Chandler under

their wing. With Larry as his manager, it was only a matter of time before Chandler started receiving awards for

best actor.

The crowd was stunned by the secret marriage between Curtis and Rayna.

Only Chandler was silently chugging down alcohol. A dejected expression crossed his face beneath his cap.

I have no chance of winning a guy like Curtis.
