His Precious Love

Chapter 241 Lend Me A Few Employees

Curtis said nothing. Evidently, she had made the right guess.

Rayna sneered, “Mr. Tylinski is most probably the most ‘responsible’ assistant in all of Norwal City! Mr.

Faymon, you’re lucky to have him.”

“If you like, you can bring him to Hatchair Group.”

“That I dare not. Hatchair Group cannot afford to hire him.” Rayna waved her hands hastily. Curtis’ words

reminded Rayna of the upcoming bidding for the high-speed railway station, causing her to lean back in

her chair and let out a sigh.

Rayna explained, “As for the bidding for the high-speed railway station in the eastern district, I’ve

assembled a team of people from other companies. They did their best, but they didn’t meet my

expectations.”

“You haven’t completed the bidding document yet?”

Rayna’s brows were knitted in worry as she replied, “If it was easy, I wouldn’t be so worried. This is my

first time leading a project like this, and I’m not very good at it.”

Curtis grinned. “So what are you getting at?”

He had seen right through her, so Rayna grew shy. She coughed awkwardly and answered, “Everyone in

the industry knows that Faymon Group only hires the best. I’d like to borrow a few employees from

Faymon Group.”

“Hatchair Group is incapable but wants to win the tender for the high-speed railway project?” Curtis

tutted. “Are you overconfident or just a fool?”

Rayna flew into a rage. “Never mind if you refuse to lend me your employees. Why did you have to insult

me too? Well, money can work wonders. I trust that I can hire experienced team members if I offer them

enough money. I must win the tender!”

If they were able to win the tender, it would be a major achievement for Hatchair Group and would also

serve as a validation of Rayna’s abilities. It would be a huge step forward for the company and Rayna’s

career.

The sight of her confidence made Curtis’ lips curl up. “You can borrow Faymon Group’s employees if you

like,” he offered.

Rayna asked, “Is that a yes?”

Curtis considered the idea and responded, “Each person in Faymon Group has specific duties and

responsibilities. If I were to send someone to Hatchair Group, it would likely reduce the productivity and

efficiency of our group.”

Rayna understood the underlying meaning of his words. She harrumphed and snapped, “Just tell me

how much you want.”

“Ms. Garland, it is you who need my help. Why are you acting like you’re the boss, hmm?”

“Mr. Faymon.” Rayna forced out a smile to look sincere. “I would like to request the temporary assistance

of a few of your employees. Please allow me to compensate you for their time and efforts.”

“We can talk after dinner.”

“Okay, let’s do that.” Rayna was about to suggest having Adrunian food when she noticed he was

glancing at her. “Mr. Faymon, what do you want to eat? Let’s head to the supermarket to get some

groceries.”

Curtis was pleased by Rayna’s attitude and responded, “You were the one who suggested it.”

Rayna’s lips twitched. Capitalists are the most annoying people ever. All they do is milk others all day!

While at the supermarket, they were about to shop for food when Rayna received a call from James

asking her whereabouts. He told her that he and Kristie had not yet had dinner, so she invited them to

come to Curtis’ house to eat.

Curtis frowned unhappily. “Is my house a shelter that takes anyone in?”

“Not just anyone is allowed in, but there have been a few exceptions,” Rayna said impatiently. “My

brother is going to be your future brother-in-law, right? Why are you upset about him having dinner at

your house? You didn’t seem this upset when Ms. Sanders came over. You even took her upstairs to

speak with her privately!”

Curtis inched nearer until they were pressed against each other intimately. “Ms. Garland, are you

jealous?”

“I was just stating facts. Step back!” Rayna slapped his head away and pushed the trolley ahead.

Chuckling lowly, he followed behind her.

After spending an hour at the supermarket, Rayna purchased three large bags of groceries that Curtis

carried for her. It was at this point that she realized he was quite helpful.

He could help her carry shopping bags and be her driver.

When they arrived at Curtis’ place, Rayna held a small shopping bag and entered his house using the

access card. Inside, she heard Kristie’s coy voice that gave her goosebumps.

“Rayna, you’re back!” Kristie exclaimed as she stood up from James’ lap and ran over to help carry

Rayna’s bag. “Let me help you!”

Rayna looked at Kristie’s bright smile and had the urge to tell her to act more naturally. However, she

remembered that it was the first time James had found such a pretty girlfriend at his age, so she

suppressed the urge and didn’t say anything.

Forget it. She’s Mr. Faymon’s sister, after all.

After leading Rayna to the couch in the living room, Kristie brought her some water and began

massaging her shoulders. “Rayna, LV is hosting a fashion show next month. Would you like to go with

me?”

“Rayna, do you like to act? My new movie is about to start filming soon. Do you want to cameo in it?”

“Rayna, is your company in need of money?”

“Rayna—”

“Okay, that’s enough shoulder massaging,” Rayna said as she moved away, not used to Kristie’s

enthusiasm. “I won’t make you break up, so there’s no need to do this. You’re being a bit too eager.”

Kristie quickly moved to hold onto Rayna’s arm affectionately. “I really like you, Rayna. You’re so

beautiful and kind. I want to introduce you to all the nice guys I know.”

Curtis’ cold voice rang out. “Who do you want to introduce to her, hmm?”

“Hey, Curt! How could you eavesdrop on our conversation like that?” Kristie huffed in frustration. She

didn’t dare act mischievously in front of Curtis and quickly retreated back to James’ embrace.

James was accustomed to Kristie snuggling up to him. He furrowed his brows and gravely told Rayna,

“His son is an obsessive fan of Kristie. He somehow obtained her schedule and has been secretly

stalking her.”

“Harry Verlice?”

James nodded. “He kidnapped Kristie when her assistant wasn’t paying attention. I was on my way to

rescue her when I realized you had activated the tracking device on your ring. That was why I called Mr.

Faymon.”

Hearing that, Curtis was pretty bothered.

Can’t he call me by my name, Curtis? Why does he call me “Mr. Faymon” as though we aren’t close to

each other?

“That obsessive fan is insane. He wants me to die with him.” Kristie then added, “Rayna, don’t be mad at

James for not coming to save you.”

Rayna finally understood why Kristie was so enthusiastic earlier. Oh, I see.

She explained, “I’m okay. Elijah asked for my help a few times, but I refused, so he hired someone to

kidnap me and bring me to the hospital to extract my bone marrow by force.”

Kristie panicked instantly. “Did they succeed?”

“No.”

“Oh, I’m glad to hear that,” Kristie said with a sigh of relief. She muttered, “Curt would seem useless if

they were to succeed since he couldn’t even protect his own girlfriend.”

Rayna, who was eating an orange, stopped when she heard Kristie’s words.

“You must be starving. I’ll go start cooking now!” She quickly stuffed the remaining orange slices in her

mouth and rushed to the kitchen.

Curtis was in a good mood, so he followed her to the kitchen. “I’ll wash the vegetables.”

“Wow, did you hear Curt?” Kristie exclaimed, holding her cheeks in amazement. “He never does any

housework, but he just offered to wash the vegetables!”

James didn’t feel like replying to her.

It was pretty tiring to have an energetic girlfriend.

Rayna noticed Curtis entering the kitchen to help, but she didn’t say anything. It would be easier with an

extra pair of hands. “The kitchen is going to get smoky. Why don’t you change out of your shirt?”

“It’s fine. My other clothes aren’t cheap, anyway.”

Rayna rolled her eyes. Fine then!

The German Shepherd puppy also snuck into the kitchen. Curtis had been feeding it well, so it had

grown significantly in size. It wagged its tail eagerly and followed Rayna everywhere.

“Hey, stay away from me. I might accidentally step on you!” Rayna pushed it away with her leg, but it

continued to stick close to her. Amused, Rayna ultimately decided to let it stay near her.
