Dear Sweetheart Chapter 117 A Gift From Uncle Curtis

The agitation in Rayna was about to subside when she suddenly noticed the glaring wedding favors and monetary gift on the table that burned her eyes.

It just so happened that Jordan came in to deliver some documents.

Rayna threw the wedding favors and monetary gift to him. “Take these. I don’t want them.”

“Oh, okay.” Jordan was stunned for a moment before asking cautiously, “Ms. Garland, you seem to be in a bad mood these days. Is it because we aren’t doing our job properly?”

Can they see that I’m in a bad mood too?

Slightly taken aback, Rayna forced a smile. “No, you’re doing a great job. It’s my problem.”

“Tell me if you need anything.”

Jordan soon left, but he merely took the wedding favors, not the monetary gift.

After staring at the document in front of her for a while, Rayna felt that the words in the document became jumbled up and ended up becoming the content of the newspaper she previously saw. She could not help but bring the palm of her hand to her face in exasperation.

What’s wrong with me? Why am I so upset? I barely interact with Uncle Curtis except during the business trip to Tyrandas, where we spent some time together. After we came back, we go about our daily life. Why would I fall for him?

The screen of the phone on the table lit up. There was a new WhatsApp message.

Curtis: Ms. Garland, I would like to invite you to dinner tonight. Let’s meet at Red Bricks Restaurant at seven o’clock.

Rayna’s hand trembled when she clicked to view the WhatsApp message.

Uncle Curtis hasn’t contacted me for so many days. He did not even send me a single WhatsApp message. Why does he suddenly invite me to dinner tonight? Has he texted the wrong person? But then there’s “Ms. Garland” in his text.

His WhatsApp message left Rayna absent-minded for the rest of the day. She had been hesitating, unsure if she should accept his invitation. When it was time to get off work, she decided to go home with Jessica.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, Rayna saw Naomi outside, who was obviously waiting for her.

Naomi gave her a faint smile. “Ms. Garland, it’s raining. Mr. Faymon is afraid that it will be inconvenient for you, so he asked me to drive you to Red Bricks Restaurant. What do you think?”

“She’s okay with it!” Jessica replied before Rayna could respond. “I’m leaving now.”

She gestured to Rayna before scurrying off to take a taxi.

Rayna was rendered speechless.

The road was even more congested than usual during a rainy day, and cars were traveling at a low speed. In the end, they arrived at Red Bricks Restaurant at seven twenty.

Rayna opened the door of the restaurant and went in. She immediately saw the man sitting by the window without asking the waiter. Leaning slightly against the chair, he seemed to be on the phone as there was a faint smile on his face.

Pursing her lips, she walked over.

“Mr. Faymon.”

As soon as Curtis looked up and saw Rayna, he whispered into the phone and ended the call. Then, he got up and helped her pull out the chair across from his before she could do it.

The waiter brought the menu over after that. Rayna looked at the menu and casually placed an order.

After the waiter left, she could not help but ask, “Mr. Faymon, why did you think of inviting me to dinner? Is something wrong?”

“No. I just want to treat you to dinner.” Curtis flashed her a faint smile.

Rayna found that Curtis seemed to look happier and more at ease. Before that, he was indifferent and standoffish despite being easy to get along with. The difference made her feel bitter.
