His Precious Love novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 Me Or Faymon Group

Besides, whether the accident had been orchestrated or not, nothing could change the fact that Curtis had protected Rayna. She was the reason he had lost the use of his legs, so the least she could do was help him in return.

Upon seeing Rayna’s steely-eyed determination, Jessica knew it’d be impossible to change her friend’s mind. “If I can help you in any way, feel free to let me know! Even though I’m only a planner, I’m still pretty smart.”

Rayna couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Sure!”

Jessica’s right. She’s indeed very clever. The map she drew for us previously helped the Faymon Group a lot.

By the time the two women returned to the condominium, it was already five in the morning, and daybreak was approaching. Jessica was so tired that she went off to take a two-hour nap. Rayna, however, couldn’t sleep at all.

Whenever she closed her eyes, she’d think back to her conversation with Curtis, the car that suddenly veered into their lane, and the moment Curtis pounced on her to shield her from the impact.

“I know how clever you are, Rayna. I have faith in you. If anything untoward should happen to me, I’ll leave Faymon Group in your hands.”

No matter how hard she tried, Rayna couldn’t get Curtis’ words and expression out of her mind. As dread continued to gnaw at her insides, Rayna suddenly remembered how composed Curtis had been when the accident occurred.

Not only was there no panic in his eyes, but even his words to her were eerily calm. It was as though he was fully confident that Rayna would handle everything well for him.

A scary thought suddenly popped into her mind, only to have her shrug it off the next moment.

Uncle Curtis has always been calm, even in the face of danger. Argh! I’m the one who’s overreacting.

With that, Rayna lay in bed and stared at the diamond castle, wondering about the news headlines in the morning and the impending changes within Faymon Group.

Once the sun had fully risen, Rayna crawled out of bed and washed herself up. After changing her wound dressing and putting on a suit, she promptly left the room for the kitchen.

By the time breakfast was all prepared, Jessica had also woken up.

Needless to say, the latter was shocked to find Rayna dressed so spiffily. “Wow! Have you already recuperated?”

“Eat up. There’s a lot to do today.”

It was only when Rayna arrived at Faymon Group that she realized the full gravity of the situation. Flocks of journalists had gathered at the exits of the company building, and some were even reporting live.

Rayna quickly parked her car at the underground garage while Jessica trawled through Twitter and several major news sites to update her on the state of affairs.

Sure enough, every headline was about Curtis’ car accident.

“Oh, gosh. This is terrible. Faymon Group’s shares have been dropping since last night, and now, it’s only priced at eight per share,” Jessica exclaimed as she showed Rayna the information. “Nana, are you sure you can handle this?”

“I have to. There’s no other way,” Rayna replied flatly while adjusting her tie in the elevator mirror.

She had always found suits too stifling for her liking, but now that she was wearing one, she realized it did help to make her feel more empowered.

Upon reaching the planning department, Jessica reminded Rayna to be on her guard before bidding farewell. With that, the elevator continued its ascent until it stopped at Rayna’s floor.

“Good morning, Ms. Garland,” Naomi greeted before following Rayna to her office. “Mr. Faymon has said that the Department of Regulators will handle all of Faymon Group’s affairs. Now that he’s not around, you’ll be the second in command.”

Rayna merely hummed in acknowledgment and kept walking.
