Dear Sweetheart Chapter 281 Helping A Friend Out
“Forget it. Let’s just let him tag along.” Jasmine smiled. “We’ll just let him keep a distance from us. He shall be our butler when we shop.”
“What? I’m too handsome to be just a butler,” Wyatt said.
“Oh, please!” Jessica shot him a look. “Do you think you’re a movie star or something?”
“Babe…” Wyatt clutched his hand on his chest. “I bet you don’t love me anymore.”
Rayna’s lips twitched. Since Jasmine has already agreed to it, what more can I say? I’ll just dump all my luggage and bags on Wyatt.
When they were boarding the ship, she couldn’t help but ask, “Are you sure it’s only you?”
“Of course! I just came because I’m worried about Jessie,” Wyatt answered lazily. He was telling the truth that he had gone there alone. Little did she know that Curtis and Theodore had long since boarded the ship.
“He’s not here?”
“Oh… Are you talking about Curtis?” Wyatt cocked an eyebrow and smiled ambiguously. “I didn’t know you were longing for him. Perhaps I should give him a call.”
With that, he whipped out his phone.
Rayna immediately stopped him and glared at him. “That’s not what I meant! I’m just saying it’s better if he’s not here. Otherwise, I can’t even enjoy my trip.”
Wyatt teased, “What’s the matter? Are you going to Jetroina to look for younger men?”
“Shut up.”
Although Wyatt had already told her Curtis wasn’t there, Rayna had a weird feeling in her heart. Upon boarding the ship, she kept feeling as though someone was watching her from behind. However, every time she turned around, there was no one there.
Those three tickets Jessica had won from the lucky draw were for regular rooms on the bottom-most floor of the ship. When they were checking in at the reception counter, the receptionist told them those three tickets were special tickets, so they were given a free upgrade to the premium suites on the uppermost floor.
I can understand if we were given one premium suite. But three? Rayna couldn’t help but think that someone had discreetly pulled some strings. However, the receptionist’s acting was flawless, so Rayna didn’t grow suspicious.
Just like that, Wyatt ended up staying in the same room as Jessica.
The moment Rayna was done putting her luggage aside, Jasmine came looking for her from the next door. The two of them then went to a restaurant on the second floor.
The entire second floor was filled with entertainment. There were movie theaters, billiard rooms, indoor swimming pools, and so on. There was even a grand ballroom on the ship. Guests could start dancing in the ballroom at eight in the evening.
Once they arrived at the restaurant, Jasmine found a table for six next to the window.
Baffled, Rayna asked, “Even if those two join us, we still only need a table for four, no? Why did you pick a big table?”
Jasmine gave a mysterious smile. “The view here is nice.”
Rayna took a glance at the view. I don’t think so. I think the table for four has a better view.
Rayna and Jasmine ordered their food and sipped on the coffee served by the server. Right then, Jessica and Wyatt arrived.
The couple was wearing a set of matching beige sweaters, and they were fooling around with each other.
When Jessica walked over, Rayna uttered coldly, “Don’t you know it’s bad to display your affection publicly? Why don’t you guys just have fun on your own? I’m so annoyed by the sight of the both of you!”
Jasmine nodded and chimed in, “I think so too.”
“Hey… Why are you guys dumping me?” Jessica took a seat. “Once we arrive in Jetroina, I’ll break up with him and look for handsome young men together with you guys!”
Hearing that, Wyatt scoffed, “Jessie, the men there are short and ugly. You won’t be able to find a man as tall and muscular as me.”
“We’ll go to the nightclubs in Gerton. Those places are filled with handsome and muscular men!”
“Apart from their looks, they’re worthless.”
Jessica and Wyatt kept bickering.
Rayna facepalmed. I want nothing more than to switch to a different table. I need to get away from this shameless couple!
As Wyatt was bickering with Jessica, he suddenly called out, “Theodore? Curtis?” He smiled gleefully and waved in the direction behind Rayna.
Rayna’s heart skipped a beat. No way…
As the sounds of footsteps grew louder, two figures appeared at their table.
Rayna turned to find Curtis dressed in casual clothing. With a hand lazily tucked in his pocket, he looked less aloof and a lot friendlier compared to his usual self.
Next to him, Theodore’s gaze and expression were as chilly as ever. In fact, he always looked as though the world was against him, and a glance at him could make one tremble in fear.
Curtis swept a glance at Rayna before asking, “Wyatt, didn’t you say you were busy working? Why are you here on a cruise to Jetroina with your girlfriend?”
Wyatt smiled playfully. “Don’t you know how efficient I am? I got my work done and came to accompany my woman. How about you, Curtis? Are you going to Jetroina for a vacation?”
“For work.”
“Oh… Since everyone knows each other here, have a seat, and let’s eat together!”
“All right, then. Don’t mind if we do.”
Rayna watched Curtis and Theodore sit down and ordered their meals. Recalling the conversation Wyatt had had with them, she couldn’t help but think they were in it together. They planned this all along, didn’t they? Could there be such a coincidence?
“Jessie…” Rayna leaned toward Jessica and pinched her waist. “Jasmine paid you two million for something else other than the tickets, didn’t she?”
“Ouch!” Jessica forced herself to tear up before flashing a sheepish smile. “Can’t you see how bad her relationship with Mr. Xavier is? We should help her out, no? I don’t really care about the two million. I’m just a kindhearted person.”
“You’re a traitor!” Rayna scolded. There I was thinking why Curtis wasn’t even worried about me taking a vacation abroad. It’s because someone has already tipped him off! He wasn’t worried because he knew he would be tagging along! Also, Jasmine picked a table for six because she also knew Curtis and Theodore would show up! They’re traitors!
With a smile on her face, Jasmine leaned toward Rayna and whispered, “I asked Jessica for help, but I didn’t know Mr. Faymon would show up. However, doesn’t that mean he cares about you?”
Blushing, Rayna let out an awkward cough and answered, “Do you guys think I’m so forgiving? You guys kept it from me!”
“Do you want a food processing factory in the eastern district?” Jasmine asked. “It was recently acquired by Sanders Group. You can tidy up the food factory and ask your mom to hand over the work to the workers. Her life would be so much easier. Once we’re back, I’ll transfer it to you and charge you a hundred thousand for formality’s sake.”
“I want it! I want it!” Jessica chimed in excitedly. “I know Nana wouldn’t want it. Give it to me. I want to know what it’s like to be a boss!”
Rayna smacked Jessica’s head and answered Jasmine in a serious tone, “Since we’re friends, I don’t mind helping you out. A food processing factory is nothing. I’m only doing it because I want to help out a friend.”
“You’re so shameless, Nana!” Jessica grumbled.
“Am I? At least I’m not as shameless as you,” Rayna replied.
The women were whispering among each other, so none of the men could hear a single thing.
Wyatt poured coffee for Curtis and Theodore before saying, “Indeed, it’s so much more fun to hang out with people you like. Theodore, didn’t you say you were going to Norham? What happened?”
Theodore rubbed his fingers on the cup and replied coldly, “Don’t you think you’re talking too much?”
