His Precious Love

Chapter 214

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.
