Chapter 184 I Will Stay By Your Side
After pressing the record button, she said, “Repeat what you said earlier, Jefferson.”
“You’ve learned your lesson, huh?” Jefferson smirked and repeated his words.”
After that, Rayna handed him the document. “Don’t worry. I won’t take advantage of you. Sign this document.”
Jefferson flipped through the pages and dropped his signature on the document.
They had finally reached a deal.
After the dinner, Jefferson instructed his driver to send Rayna home because he felt it was dangerous for Rayna to drive since she had had a few glasses of red wine.
When they arrived at Rayna’s residence, Jefferson asked, “When should we leave?”
“The day after tomorrow. I’ll meet you at the airport in the morning.” Rayna just wanted the seven days to end as quickly as possible, but before this, she must get Curtis’ permission first as she still had a lot of office work to take care of.
“All right.” Jefferson agreed. “I’ll see you the day after tomorrow.”
After watching Rayna enter her house, Jefferson retracted his gaze and ordered his driver to leave.
Meanwhile, Rayna was stunned when she saw Curtis sitting in the living hall. “Mr. Faymon, you’re still awake?”
“It’s only nine in the evening.” Curtis poured her a cup of tea because he could tell she was a little tipsy from her flushed face.
The warm tea instantly perked Rayna up. Once she felt better, she said to Curtis, “Mr. Faymon, I’ll be away for a few days, and I’ll get Mr. Lopez to take over my work.”
A glint flashed across Curtis’ eyes. “is it something urgent you need to attend to immediately?”
Rayna nodded in response. Let’s just treat it as my way of repaying his kindness.
Over the next two days, Rayna handed her work over to Wyatt and hired a housekeeper for Curtis. After packing her suitcase, she hailed a taxi and went to the airport.
Jefferson was already waiting for her at the concourse. Once she arrived, he stepped forth and helped carry her suitcase as if he was used to doing it.
“Let’s go to the departure gate.”

Rayna was not used to how tactile Jefferson was, so she gradually maintained a distance from him.
“Belle, I’m willing to forgo shares that are worth billions in exchange for only seven days with you. You should know who has gotten a better deal out of this.” Jefferson wrapped his hand around her shoulder and pulled her into his arms. “I hope you can treat me like how you did when we were dating.”
Rayna took in a deep breath. Since I accepted the deal, I must suck it up and go through with this. Come on, Rayna! You can be nice and act womanly. It’s just seven days. You can do this!
After giving herself a little pep talk, Rayna was confident she could handle this. After plastering a smile on her face, she asked, “What time is our flight?”
“We can leave anytime since it’s my private jet.”
His answer rendered Rayna speechless.
At the airport’s apron, Rayna noticed a private jet tucked at a corner. It might seem small, but its interior was quite spacious. She felt as if she had entered a luxurious hotel suite.
A few minutes later, an air stewardess came over and asked, “Would you like a drink or a dessert?”
“A glass of orange juice will do,” Rayna replied.
“All right.” The air stewardess then turned her attention to Jefferson and spoke more respectfully. “How about you, Mr. Hamilton? Would you like a glass of wine?”
Jefferson did not bother to look at her. “I’ll have what my girlfriend ordered.”
“Oh, she’s your girlfriend.” The air stewardess’ expression changed. She left their seats after responding with an awkward smile.
Once the air stewardess had left, Rayna turned to Jefferson while trying to suppress her anger. “Are you insane, Jefferson? I said I’ll spend seven days with you at Hallsbay, but I never agreed to be your girlfriend.”
Jefferson crossed his arms and smiled elegantly. “I thought I made it clear? I told you I hope you can treat me like how you did when we were dating. So what’s wrong if I call you my girlfriend now?”
Rayna was fuming. D*mn it!
She did not expect she would fall into his trap. Okay. Calm down. I just need to endure this for seven days. Hang in there!
As the flight took off, Rayna looked out of the window and watched as the buildings disappeared from her sight. She could not help but wonder how Curtis was doing. Will the new housekeeper take advantage of him?
While she was in a daze, Jefferson asked, “Any places of interest in Hallsbay?”
Rayna gave him a confused look. “Are you asking me?”
Jefferson bobbed his head. “I heard heritage buildings are all over Hallsbay, and it’s a good place to relax. But I’ve never been there before.”
“Good heavens!” Rayna rolled her eyes and said, “I thought you had had everything planned out since you’d arranged this private jet. I’ve expected too much from you.”
“We can still plan it now.” Jefferson loved the carefree way Rayna was behaving around her. His mood brightened as he handed her a notebook and said, “Here. Find those places for me.”
“Why me? Don’t you have hands to do it yourself?” Rayna snapped.
Jefferson chuckled. “You were the one who always planned our trips when we traveled in the past.”
“That was because you’d always opt for places where money could settle everything, taking the fun out of trips!” Rayna mumbled.
She immediately zipped her mouth when she realized she had spoken too much.
The man cradled his chin with his hand and kept looking at Rayna with eyes that beamed with affection. At that moment, he wished that the aircraft could fly forever in the sky and never land.
The places of interest in Hallsbay were more or less similar to the other tourist destinations in the country. Rayna randomly picked a few and asked for Jefferson’s opinion.
Jefferson replied, “I’ll leave it to you.”
Once again, Rayna was annoyed by his response.
Two hours later, they arrived at Hallsbay Airport.
After stepping out of the airport, they hailed a taxi and departed for Bulgari Hotel.
