“Really? I can order whatever I like?” Rayna felt a warm sensation in her heart when she took the menu over.
He’s always looking after me…
The menu didn’t have a lot to choose from, though. There were some desserts, fruit juices, baked dishes, and some soups.
As Rayna was hungry, she ordered everything on the menu and even asked for a yogurt pudding.
“You should only order what you can finish. You can always order the rest of the dishes next time. It’s not like these are precious food,” Curtis reminded her gently.
“Got it,” Rayna mumbled while secretly rubbing her tummy underneath the table.
I’ve got three other mouths to feed, so I have to make sure I’m eating enough!
It wasn’t long before the flight attendants served up the food that Rayna ordered.
There were so many dishes that they almost took up the entire dining table.
As Rayna was starving, she wasted no time wolfing down the food.
“Oh, my goodness! This chicken is amazing! This is the best private jet I’ve ever been on! I’ve never tasted chicken this amazing!” she exclaimed when she felt the tender chicken meat melting in her mouth.
“You could always have this again next time, so try not to eat too much,” Curtis said while pouring her a glass of juice.
“Can’t I just order another serving of this? It’s not a lot!” Rayna protested.
“No.”
Rayna knew he was just worried about her overeating, but she didn’t like how he was going about it, so she rolled her eyes at him in response.
“Oh, by the way, what arrangements did you make for Carl?” she asked after recalling something.
Curtis leaned back against his chair and crossed his legs elegantly as he watched her eat. “I hired a chef to drop by and prepare his meals every day.”
Noticing that she had gotten her mouth all greasy, Curtis grabbed a paper towel and reached out to wipe it for her.
The two of them froze when they realized what was going on.
After a few seconds of awkward silence, Rayna was the first to respond. She took the paper towel from him and backed away slightly.
In an attempt to change the topic, she lowered her head and said, “That sounds great. If that chef is able to cook well, then you should just keep her around. Don’t order takeout all the time. It’s not nutritious at all, and Carl needs lots of nutrients now that he’s growing up so fast.”
“All right.” Curtis retracted his hand and massaged his forehead.
We’re no longer together, and yet, I still find myself caring for her and looking after her like I used to.
Curtis still had quite a lot of work to take care of, but he got distracted when Gabriel told him that Glory couldn’t find Rayna a suitable actress. According to Gabriel, Rayna would be filming a short video with another guy.
Gabriel also found out that the director Rayna found was from Newfirm Media. He somehow managed to steal a copy of the script and showed it to Curtis.
Sure enough, Curtis lost his cool when he saw the contents of the script.
He then went straight to Glory and demanded to see the progress of their new product. While Curtis did anger Rayna on purpose inside the conference room, he wasn’t lying about the male actor’s scandal.
When Rayna challenged him to film the video with her, he agreed to it after giving it some thought.
Although Curtis could’ve waited till he was free at night to handle that matter, the thought of Rayna heading over to Summerbank to film an intimate video with another guy drove him crazy.
The look in Curtis’ eyes turned gloomy and he let out a silent sigh as he watched her munch on her food.
Huh… She’ll never learn to appreciate how well I’m treating her.
Rayna was so full and satisfied with the meal that she fell asleep after covering herself with a blanket, much to Curtis’ amusement.
