Chapter 115 Is Uncle Curtis Getting Married
She began to feel an intense heat in her body as the man’s warmth lingered on her lips. When she was about to lose all self-control, she quickly returned to her condominium and took a shower to tame that steamy sensation.
On Monday morning, Rayna drove Jessica to the office. The latter would normally spend forty minutes on her daily commute to work, but she managed to cut her travel time by half today. Having a car is so convenient!
After entering the office, Rayna noticed some wedding favors on her desk. In fact, everyone had received them at their respective workstations.
She grinned and asked her colleague, “What are the wedding favors about? Is someone getting hitched?”
“It’s Ms. Faymon from the planning department,” the colleague replied. “I heard she’s pregnant and will be marrying someone from a prominent family in Mapleton next month. The wedding favors are from her.”
“Really?” Rayna seemed baffled. Hadn’t she vowed not to marry anyone since the son of a government official from Frosa hurt her feelings? Yet, all of a sudden, she’s ready to tie the knot? Getting pregnant at her age can be risky as she is a few years older than Curtis. Did something happen to the Faymon family?
Nevertheless, Rayna did not let those questions get to her as she had tons of work to do.
She texted Curtis about it but did not get an immediate response.
She did not receive a reply from him in the afternoon—not even the next day. In fact, he did not even come to the office for the next few days. Brooklyn, too, disappeared after giving out the wedding favors.
The office remained peaceful as nothing major happened.
A few days later, Kristie came to Faymon Group in a huff and confronted Rayna in her department.
“I always thought you’re good at seducing men.” Feeling disappointed, Kristie tossed a newspaper on her desk and glowered at Rayna. “How could you allow someone else to take advantage of you? What has become of you?”
Rayna was confused to hear that. When she lowered her head to read the newspaper, a photo of an intimate young couple caught her attention.
The newspaper’s headline, printed in a large font, read: Mr. Curtis Faymon will be tying the knot with Ms. Jasmine Sanders from Lorentz Group!
Rayna instantly felt her blood run cold. U-Uncle Curtis is getting married?
“You’re so useless, Rayna!” Kristie poked the newspaper with her index finger as if she was poking Rayna. “Since when did that woman hook up with Curt? I wasn’t aware of this because I was busy filming, but you? How could you not know about this?”
“Hey! Say something! Answer me! Are you deaf? Someone stole your man. Are you not mad?” she continued to bellow.
Rayna gradually came to her senses amidst Kristie’s angry outburst. She pressed her lips together and said calmly, “Kristie, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood my relationship with Mr. Faymon. There’s nothing between us.”
“That’s bull! Curt wouldn’t have treated you so well if there was nothing between the two of you. When you were in Tyrandas—” Kristie stopped in her tracks as she recalled Curtis’ warning. Instead of completing her sentence, she cast Rayna a disdainful look.
Rayna asked, “Tyrandas?”
Come to think of it, she remembered Kristie did say something that made no sense to Curtis when she had regained consciousness. Why don’t I have any clue about what happened at that time?
“Nothing. Can you please step up your game?” Kristie pouted, expressing her dismay. “I don’t like you, but at least you come from a decent family.”
She continued, “Jasmine’s mother is an embarrassment. Do you know what she did for a living? Moreover, Jasmine is an illegitimate child of the family. The media will make Curt a laughing stock if he marries that woman!”
“Ms. Sanders’ family background has nothing to do with me,” Rayna said. She was not in the mood to continue this conversation with Kristie. “Go ahead and do what you want, but leave me alone.”
