Soon, it was already past nine at night. As it was getting late, Rayna felt that it was time for her to head home.

Kristie did not stop her from leaving but merely asked to catch up at her place next time when she was less busy. Rayna readily agreed.

As Curtis was intending to leave as well, he grabbed his laptop and left together with Rayna.

Rayna was about to press the “close” button in the elevator when Curtis stepped in. The woman froze for a second before saying, “I’m going up. Why did you come in? You, you…”

“I didn’t want to wait outside,” Curtis replied placidly before continuing, “It’s warmer inside the elevator.”

How can it be cold outside when there’s central air-conditioning in the corridor?

Rayna commented inwardly while watching the elevator numbers light up in ascending order.

Even though there was an arm’s length distance between the two of them, Rayna could still smell the faint scent of tobacco on Curtis and feel his cold aura.

The woman shifted her gaze from the display panel to the elevator door. From the reflection, she could see Curtis looking down while scrolling on his phone with his slender finger.

The man had a tall build and carried himself in a mature and elegant manner.

Rayna started spacing out as she recalled that night when Curtis grabbed her feet and kissed her tenderly while looking at her affectionately as if she was the most precious treasure in the world.

Was that really him?

If it was him, why did he go off the next morning after leaving some money behind without sparing a thought for my feelings? Moreover, he looked really annoyed when we met again after we returned to the country.

As Rayna’s eyes shifted downward, she saw that Curtis had buttoned his shirt to the top, and his neck was barely visible.

Underneath that shirt were the man’s abs and Apollo’s belt that she had already seen and touched before.

Just then, Curtis looked up at the elevator door and met Rayna’s gaze. A faint smile appeared on his face as he asked, “Ms. Garland, aren’t you going to wipe off the drool on your face?”

Rayna wiped the corners of her lips at once but realized that there was nothing there.

When she turned around, she noticed the teasing glint in Curtis’ eyes and could feel herself simmering in anger.
