His Precious Love

Chapter 224

Chapter 224 She Can Do Whatever She Wants
Rayna, who witnessed their entire argument, was dumbstruck. It seems like things are different from what I expected.
She handed a piece of tissue to Jessica and remarked, “Your breakup with him is so intense.”
“You don’t know how horrible he is!” Jessica’s glasses had turned hazy from her crying. She took them off and wiped the lenses, weeping tears as she explained, “H-He posted that type of video online… I am a girl. How am I supposed to see my friends and acquaintances again if they happen to watch the video?”
Rayna knew what video Jessica was referring to, so she could understand her anger. “That’s really…”
On second thought, she chose to share her opinion instead. “Wyatt may be a playboy, but he will never do something so terrible. If he did, he wouldn’t bother coming over and explaining things to you.”
Jessica asked, “Who else could it be if not him when it was filmed at his place?”
“It’s hard to guard against sneak photography nowadays.” Rayna then suggested, “Perhaps someone installed a pinhole camera at Wyatt’s place. Wyatt might not have noticed it, which led to what happened next.”
“In any case, I refuse to forgive him!” Jessica made up her mind. “He can find whoever he wants!”
Rayna did not know what to say in response.
However, she knew it was inappropriate for her to interfere with the couple’s argument.
Later, she sent Jessica to Faymon Group before heading off to her own workplace. Just as she arrived at the office, her assistant walked over and informed her, “Ms. Garland, Mr. Chambers is looking for you.”
“Okay. I’ll be right over.”
Rayna headed to the CEO’s office to meet Beau. They made some small talk. Then, he handed her a document, beaming as he said, “A high-speed railway station will be built in the eastern district, and the project will be sold by tender.”
“That’s great news.” Rayna flipped through the document and closed it. There was a sparkle in her eyes when she looked at him and added, “It will benefit our company in opening up a market abroad if we can get the project.”

“I’m planning on putting you in charge.”
“Mr. Chambers, I am inexperienced in this area.” Rayna was startled at first. Upon returning to her senses, she asked, “Why don’t we let Mr. Wright handle it instead? With him in charge, I’m sure our company can get this project successfully.”
Beau chuckled at that. “He is indeed capable, but you’re not too bad yourself. Rayna, you’ve just transferred from Faymon Group. If you take over this project, you’ll be able to gain a foothold in the industry quickly.”
He believed Curtis arranged for her transfer to his company because the latter wanted to give her a platform for the improvement and growth in her career.
After pondering it for a long moment, Rayna accepted the offer but not without stating her condition. “Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I’d love to give it a try too. However, this is too huge of a project. If I realize I am inadequate for this project later, I suggest handing over the project to Mr. Wright and his team. I’ll happily accept the offer if you agree to this arrangement.”
“Sure. I’ll inform Mr. Wright about this.” Beau was delighted with her decision. “I’ll leave this project in your hands, then.”
“Thank you, Mr. Chambers.”
Rayna started assembling a team as soon as she returned to her office. Due to the gravity of the project, she still found her team to be short of people even after screening through the company’s employee list for suitable candidates.
Beau had vast connections in the industry. That night, he invited Rayna to dinner and introduced her to some of his friends. After making small talk, she recruited six people from another company to join her team. All of them signed a non-disclosure agreement for that.
Rayna did not wish to be a spoilsport at business gatherings with the big shots in the industry, so she drank some alcohol, which brought a blush to her cheeks. The reason she felt secure enough to imbibe was that she had texted Jessica her location beforehand.
She did not drink much, yet the high alcohol content from the hard liquor still made her feel lightheaded.
One of the big shots sneaked several glances at her before leaning closer to Beau and asking jokingly, “Beau, is she your secret lover? You must adore her a lot to bring her to our gathering.”
“That’s nonsense!” Beau rolled his eyes at him. Fortunately, there were no strangers around to overhear their conversation. “I don’t have the guts to keep her as my secret lover. You should know that she’s not someone to be trifle with.”
Morgan Hennessey, another big shot, chimed in, “You make it sound like she’s from a powerful background. Isn’t she just an ex-employee of Faymon Group? I don’t think she’s that capable, given her young age. Besides, Faymon Group’s legal and public relations teams are well-known for their abilities. It doesn’t matter whether or not Curtis is at the office since he has such great teams working for him.”
“Why don’t you stop talking?” Beau poured him a glass of wine, intending to shut him up. “We shouldn’t underestimate the younger generation. Rayna is pretty decisive and smart.”
Morgan laughed. “There are a lot of pretty and young girls out there, but there’s no guarantee if they’re smart.”
Panic washed over Beau, for he was worried that Rayna would hear such remarks. Technically, he was merely an employee since Faymon Group had secretly acquired Hatchair Group. They signed a contract, so the public was unaware of that fact.
“Be careful with your words. She’s with Mr. Faymon,” Beau cautioned.
“Beau, stop making it sound so serious. We aren’t taking advantage of her. We’re only worried that she’s incapable of handling such a project and will implicate us in her mess. If Curtis wants to have a lover, he should keep her by his side instead of letting her do business with us.”
“I agree. The eastern district’s high-speed railway station project is huge. Are you serious about letting a young girl like her be in charge of it? I’m afraid they will disqualify her immediately when she brings her team over for the tender.”
Beau’s head ached from their endless chatter.
He would not have had dinner with those people if it were not for Curtis’ instructions. They had no filter, belittling everyone as they believed they were big shots in the industry.
Beau was about to call in a waitress when the door to their private room was suddenly pushed open from outside. A slender figure stepped inside. He wore a wine-red shirt and black dress pants, looking languid yet assertive.
“M-Mr. Faymon?”
No one had expected Curtis to show up. They quickly stood up one after another.
