His Precious Love

Chapter 214 An Evil And Eloquent Woman

Rayna’s face immediately turned red as she retorted, “I don’t know him, ma’am.”

“You don’t know him? Then why did he ask if you needed help?” The middle-aged lady looked at her

skeptically before continuing, “By the looks of it, this must be a lovers’ spat, right?”

“It’s not—”

Before Rayna could finish her sentence, the middle-aged lady shook her head and scolded Curtis,

“You’re so dashingly dressed, yet you don’t know how to appease your girlfriend? How can you be such

a failure?”

Her tone was sharp. Upon seeing Curtis’ changed expression, Rayna could not help but laugh.

Afraid that she might be caught laughing, she quickly turned away.

“You’re right.” Surprisingly, Curtis was not angry. He even walked over and talked to the lady. “Judging

from what you said, you must have a son, and you’re worried sick about him, right?”

The lady immediately replied, “That’s right.”

Just like that, the two of them hit it off and had a pleasant chat.

Rayna was bemused.

Just as she was about to listen in on their conversation while picking up a fish with the net, the duo had

finished chatting.

“Young man, not only are you handsome, but you also have a silver tongue.” The female fishmonger

smiled as she added, “Still, you have to treat your girlfriend better. Otherwise, it’ll be too late to cry over

spilled milk if someone were to snatch her away.”

Rayna denied it for the second time. “Ma’am, I don’t know him.”

“Oh,” was all the older lady said before she asked enthusiastically, “Have you chosen a fish, dear? Which

one would you like?”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

After buying the fish, Curtis helped to push the shopping cart.

They left together. Rayna shot him a sidelong glance as she mocked, “Mr. Faymon, didn’t you hate

places with pungent smell? Are pigs flying now?”

“You’ll be cooking the meal, after all. It would be rude of me not to make any contributions,” he replied.

His response evoked a sneer from her. “I’m impressed that you have the nerve to say that, Mr. Faymon.

When have you ever contributed during the times I cooked for you previously? Besides, I’m cooking for

Mr. Tylinski this time around. I never invited you.”

Nevertheless, Curtis was full of confidence, drawling, “I’m his boss, and I also have something important

to discuss with him. He won’t kick me out during a meal.”

He paused for a moment before he continued, “Ms. Garland, if you feel like you’ve suffered a great loss

from the previous meals, I can compensate you.”

“It’s not like I’m dirt poor and want to cheat you out of your money!”

“There are other ways to compensate you.”

Rayna shot a disdainful look at Curtis and mocked, “Mr. Faymon, do you have anything else apart from

money?”

All of a sudden, he stopped in his tracks.

Rayna followed suit. That was when she saw him loosen his tie and undo the first button of his shirt to

reveal a peek of his collarbones. It was a seductive sight.

“I can compensate you like this,” he uttered.

It took the stunned woman five whole seconds to return to her senses. Once she did, she quickly turned

around and put some distance between the two of them. At that moment, her heart was beating like

crazy. She could not believe he was the same aloof Curtis that she knew.

He’s lost his mind! How can he say something like that?

Curtis’ attire and aura were too eye-catching. Every so often, a woman would purposely walk past them,

and their ardent eyes would linger on him.

Unable to stand it any longer, Rayna took the shopping cart from him and said through clenched teeth,

“Mr. Faymon, please wait for me at the checkout counter. I still need to buy vegetables!”

“It’s not like I asked them to look at me.”

It was impossible for her to come up with a response.

At that moment, a young woman walked forward and cast them curious looks. “You are Mr. Faymon,

aren’t you? I saw on the news that you and Ms. Sanders will get married on the twentieth of next month.

Is that true? If so, what’s your relationship with the woman next to you?” Her voice was filled with

excitement.

Rayna pursed her lips.

That’s right. Last night at the cocktail reception, Curtis announced his marriage to Jasmine before all

members of the upper-class society. A union between two families of magnates is bound to cause a

huge sensation.

The words from the young woman who appeared out of nowhere caused Curtis to frown. Judging by her

tone of voice, it was evident that she was not a reporter. However, he still grabbed her arm since she

looked suspicious.

The young woman was holding onto a phone, and the voice recording application was shown on the

screen.

Curtis snatched the phone from her hand, exuding an oppressive sense of formidableness. “If you know

me, then you should be aware of my temper. I hate it the most when people do things behind my back.”

“S-Sorry.” The young woman paled and backed away in fear. “I didn’t do it on purpose.”

If she were to be blacklisted by Faymon Group, the leading magnate of the business world, then she

would have zero chance of getting decent positions in any companies in the future. That was why she

apologized to Curtis.

Curtis demanded, “Your ID and password.”

The young woman did not hesitate and told him her phone’s ID and password, trembling terribly as she

did so.

He unlocked her phone and scrolled through it for a minute before he broke it in half and threw it into a

nearby trash can. Gabriel, who had been gone for some time, appeared at the opportune moment.

“Check the price of this phone and reimburse it to her,” Curtis ordered.

“Miss, come with me.” Gabriel brought the young woman away. “Let’s talk about the reimbursement.”

The whole process took less than three minutes.

Rayna was impressed by Curtis’ bizarre method of dealing with the matter. It was not her first time

seeing it, but it did not stop her from grumbling. “You should’ve just deleted the video permanently. Why

did you have to delete her ID too?”

“I was afraid she might have synced it to a drive or something similar,” he replied.

Annoyance bubbled up inside Rayna. “Mr. Faymon, you must have a persecutory delusion disorder! I’m

not working at Faymon Group anymore. Even if this video gets onto the internet, it won’t affect you in any

way.”

Is he that bothered about his marriage with Ms. Sanders?

Curtis glanced at her, and the corners of his lips curved upward as though he was smiling. “I’m not

worried about myself but you. You’ve just joined Hatchair Group and even took over as the vice CEO.

Considering your unstable foundation, it’d be hard for you to discuss any business deals in the future

should someone use this video to destroy your reputation.”

He then explained, “Jasmine and I are not getting married for real. There won’t be a marriage certificate,

rings, or the like. Once she gets the shares of Sanders Group, we’ll hold a press conference to clarify

things.”

So, it’s a fake marriage?

Rayna was relieved by his explanation. However, her expression remained cold, and she even jeered at

him. “I didn’t think that the unscrupulous Mr. Faymon would be so kind as to help Ms. Sanders with such

a big favor. I think it’s best if you two get married for real since you two are a match made in heaven!”

Unexpectedly, Curtis pushed her against a shelf and seized her hands. “Ms. Garland, it’s been a few

months since we last met, but you are still as eloquent as before.”

“Let me go!” Rayna struggled to break away from his grip. Such a situation filled her with a sense of

embarrassment. “This is a supermarket, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Be shameless

all you want but count me out.”

However, he still maintained an iron grip on her So, hands, even leaning forward and bringing their faces

closer together.

His warm breath on her face made her feel terribly uncomfortable, so she tried to back away. Alas, the

shelf behind her rendered it impossible for her to hide from him. Just as she parted her lips to say

something, they were sealed by another pair of lips.

Curtis used his tongue to pry her mouth open. The kiss was fierce and passionate, all part of his attempt

to envelop her with his aura. It was as though he was punishing her for giving him the cold shoulder for

months.

That’s right. Why would I help someone if I get nothing in return? Of course, I’m doing it because of you!

Curtis could smell a fragrant scent on her. It was faint, not the least bit pungent, making one’s senses

tingle. He forcefully pulled her into his arms and deepened the kiss.

It’s all because of this d*rned woman! Half a year ago, she pretended to be drunk in that bar, fell into my

arms, and openly seduced me. She’s the one who forced herself into my world and messed up my life!

This woman is so evil and full of wit.
