Dear Sweetheart Chapter 147 I Dare You To Keep Laughing

“Didn’t you say you’d come to see me once you were done with work? What took you so long?” Curtis cut him off, his expression darkening.

Wyatt involuntarily shivered at his icy tone.

“O-Oh, yes.” Wyatt even started stammering. “T-The managers were having a meeting just now.”

Next to them, Rayna noticed Wyatt was looking off. Raising her head to look at the air conditioner, she couldn’t find anything out of the ordinary. “The temperature is not that low, so why are you shivering, Mr. Lopez?”

Wyatt rubbed his arms. “Oh, I do think it’s quite cold. Well, I’m a bit sensitive to low temperatures.”

Rayna was speechless.

Curtis felt uncomfortable at their banter. He interjected, “I’ve already sent a message to Ms. Gardner. You should use the private car to return to the company, Ms. Garland.”

“Then, what about you, Mr. Faymon?” Rayna asked.

“I have something to do at the moment. Wyatt will give me a ride back later.”

“Okay,” Rayna accepted his offer.

Since she had wanted to return to the company, Curtis was saving her a lot of time when he called Naomi over.

“Curtis, Rayna is Faymon Group’s acting CEO,” Wyatt stated cheerily. “Why are you being so formal with her? You should drop the formalities!”

As she heard his suggestion, Rayna quickly waved her hands in disagreement and replied anxiously, “There’s no need for that! You can keep calling me ‘Ms. Garland’ like how you used to. Anyway, Mr. Faymon, Mr. Lopez, I’ll be off now.”

Just as Rayna turned to leave, Curtis chuckled softly and said, “Rayna, do your best.”

At that, she stumbled, almost falling from shock.

Oh, God! It’s embarrassing for Uncle Curtis to call me that in front of others.

As a result, she quickened her pace and disappeared in a flash.

Looking at Rayna’s frantic retreating figure, Wyatt howled with laughter. “Curtis, did you see that? Oh my God, I almost died laughing. She almost started to run when you said her name! How scared of you is she?”

Curtis shot an icy glance at Wyatt. “I dare you to keep laughing.”

“No, no. I didn’t laugh. This is how I look when my face is cramping up. It’ll go away soon.” Wyatt cleared his throat and changed the topic tactfully, “Oh, right, Theodore and Jeremy are already in the private room. Curtis, I’ll push you there.”

“Thank you, but I don’t need your help.” Curtis rudely slapped away his hand and wheeled himself forward with his head held high.

Wyatt was utterly flabbergasted.

Why did Curtis allow Rayna to push him but not me? Am I that hated?

Suddenly, as if his sense for gossip were tingling, Wyatt quickly turned on his earpiece and whispered, “Hey, Sawyer, can you look up which private room Curtis went to before this and what he did there? Send everything to me through WhatsApp.”

I feel that I might have missed something interesting.

After Curtis entered the room, he saw Theodore chatting with Jeremy. He did not know what they were talking about to have made a cold and aloof man like Theodore wear a faint smile on his lips.

“What are you guys talking about?” Curtis asked with a smile. Only when he was with Theodore and the others would he let down his guard and be relaxed. “It’s rare to see Theodore smile.”

“Curtis.” Jeremy stood up from the couch once he saw Curtis wheeling himself in. “Where’s Wyatt?”
