His Precious Love

Chapter 693

Chapter 693 High Achiever Cook


“For the next few days after that, whenever Robin spent time with me outside the office, he would carefully observe me and ask if I planned to replace him.” Curtis seldom talked about matters concerning the company or its employees because he disliked gossiping. His retelling of Robin's story was an exception.

He turned to Rayna and resumed, “That's why I said we should let Robin take care of them because he has relevant experience and because he likes them.”

“He likes them?” That confounded her a little. “But didn't he say he's afraid of them in the hotel earlier? I don't think sending them to his place is a good idea.” I'll feel bad if we do it without gaining his permission.

“That's because these are wild animals. They're different from domestic ones. He'll come around to like them after taking care of them for a few days,” assured Curtis.

Robin, who was busy starting a fire in the kitchen downstairs, suddenly sneezed.

“In that case, I guess we'll let him take care of them. It's not easy for me to do it anyway with my poor eyesight.” As Rayna spoke, she turned to the furry creatures and saw them still eating the cat food. “They seem to like the food. At the very least, they aren't picky about it.”

Upon turning to the animals, Curtis saw them enjoying themselves in the corner. However, when his line of sight landed on the untouched cat food in the bowl, the edges of his mouth twitched.

The freeze-dried bits on top of the cat food had all been eaten by the two animals. Thinking there would be more inside the bowl, the animals used their noses to shove the cat food away. Even after the cat food was scattered all over the floor, they still didn't see another freeze-dried bit of meat.

“It seems like... they are a little picky.” After staring at the cat food on the floor, she carefully peered at Curtis and saw a scowl on his countenance.

Fearing he would become so enraged that he would toss the animals out of the building, she grabbed his arm and said, “Let's head downstairs. I want to see what's for dinner.”

“Mhm.” He put his arm around Rayna and left, leaving the animals inside the bedroom.

Inside the kitchen, Yasmin kept circling the hired cook and staring at the food on the stove while gulping.

Cassidy stood at the kitchen entrance and watched the girl move around. With her arms crossed, she grumbled, “She's really just working for anyone willing to pay her, huh?”




The cook Robin hired was the daughter-in-law of a local family. Supposedly, she didn't have time to work a full-time job because she was busy caring for her baby. Therefore, when she heard Robin was recruiting a cook, she immediately recommended herself.

Preparing meals in the Gilroy residence allowed her to earn some income. After serving a meal, she could just return home and continue caring for her child without issues.

After Curtis brought Rayna downstairs, he wanted her to wait in the dining room, but she wanted to look around in the kitchen.

When they arrived at the entrance, they saw Cassidy leaning against the door and enjoying sunflower seeds. Upon hearing their footsteps, Cassidy turned around, glanced at them, approached Rayna, and pulled the latter closer to her.

Curtis frowned after glancing at the empty spot next to him.

“What's the matter?” Confused, Rayna peered at Cassidy, who was acting mysteriously.

“Look at the cook your man hired.” Cassidy visibly shifted her line of sight toward the cook.

Upon doing the same, Rayna saw a slender young woman working in the kitchen. Softly, she remarked, “She looks very young.”

“I know, right?” Cassidy pouted. “She's even a high-achiever.”

In response, Rayna glanced at Curtis and saw him eyeing the cook in the kitchen.

Seconds later, she looked away and inquired, “Unmarried?”

“No. She's married, and her child's a year old. She usually takes care of her kid in her house,” Cassidy disclosed as she tossed the sunflower seed shells into the nearby trashcan.

“Ah.” Rayna nodded. “Is she a local?”

“Her in-laws are locals. She's from the city.” Then Cassidy whispered, “Keep a close eye on your man.”

Rayna furrowed her eyebrows slightly and smirked. “I don't need to.”

Recognizing that Rayna didn't believe her, Cassidy tactfully left one last reminder for the former. “I trust my gut.”

Then she left.

Still standing in the same spot, Rayna noticed Curtis seemed interested in what was going on in the kitchen. Instead of disturbing him, she returned to the living room.

Upon arriving at her destination, she saw the animals coming out from the corner of the stairs. “Why are you two here?”

As she bent down, Furry darted toward her.

She then carried it to the couch and sat.

Fluffy followed her and lay next to her on the furniture.
