His Precious Love novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 Drunk On Purpose

“Hahaha! M-Mr. Faymon is just joking. Don’t take him seriously! I just dropped by because I was worried about his legs,” Rayna explained in a hurry.

The executives hummed in acknowledgment, but they didn’t buy her excuse.

We’re not blind. She clearly came out of a bedroom! How is that “just dropping by?”

“Don’t worry, Ms. Garland. We understand,” one of them assured her. “Faymon Group is unstable now, so we’ll keep your pregnancy a secret. In the future, you can announce it personally with Mr. Faymon.”

“Yes, we understand your situation.”

Rayna was tongue-tied.

I’m not pregnant. I’m really not pregnant!

However, no one would listen to her no matter how much she explained. After all, Curtis had claimed that she was pregnant.

The company executives then headed downstairs one after another.

Before leaving, Naomi even told Rayna, “Ms. Garland, I have lots of friends overseas. If you need any help, feel free to let me know.”

Rayna could not even bring herself to respond at that point in time.

Just then, Curtis came over to them and noticed Rayna’s dark countenance. “Sweetheart, are you feeling unwell? Should I call the family doctor over?”

“No thanks,” Rayna rejected him flatly.

All she wanted to do at that moment was to beat him up.

After Naomi was done with work, she returned to her apartment. She removed her coat, hung it on the coat rack, and entered the study.

Jefferson was sitting on the mahogany chair with his legs crossed elegantly. He seemed to be on a video call with someone as he spoke with his authentic and charming Lightspring accent.

Casting her a glance, Jefferson exchanged a few more words with the other party before removing his earbud.

“Are you done with work?”

“Yes. There were tons of things to deal with at Faymon Group. I’m exhausted.” Naomi walked over and hugged him from the back. “I went to Curtis’ house for a meeting today and witnessed something amusing.”

Jefferson smiled. “What could possibly amuse you? I’m intrigued.”

With that, Naomi inserted a flash drive into the computer and played an audio clip. Curtis’ voice sounded from the speakers the next second—it was a recording of him announcing that Rayna wouldn’t be visiting Faymon Group as often because she was pregnant.

“Rayna is actually pregnant. Isn’t it surprising?” Naomi glanced at Jefferson, but he showed no reaction even after listening to the clip.

In an attempt to provoke him, she commented, “I always thought that Curtis had feelings for Rayna, but he got engaged to Ms. Sanders. Now, it seems like he is indeed interested in Rayna. Who would have known that Rayna is pregnant if he didn’t mention it?”

“It is quite surprising.” Jefferson finally spoke, his voice calm. “It seems like Curtis and Jasmine reached some sort of agreement and got engaged to put on a show for the public.”

“Faymon Group’s problems did not affect Sanders Group much. I heard Jasmine managed to get herself a spot at the executive level of Sanders Group. Mr. Sanders even wants to give her the company’s shares.”

“Curtis is so generous,” Jefferson remarked. “With just an engagement, he helped Jasmine get rid of her label as an illegitimate child and enter Sanders Group.”

“Who knows? Maybe Curtis wants both of them,” Naomi jested. “Although Jasmine is an illegitimate child, she’s shrewd. That’s obvious from the fact that she survived in the Sanders family.”

Taking off his glasses, Jefferson rubbed his temples and said indifferently, “I don’t care about what he wants. All I want is Faymon Group. Has Chester revealed anything?”

“How could he give in so easily?” Naomi drew circles on his chest with her finger, adding, “He’s hoping to ruin Faymon Group with those shares in his hands and become the boss himself.”

Jefferson curled his lips up at that, the disdain in his eyes evident. “He’s been in the business circle for decades, yet he still can’t see through Curtis’ little trick.”

He went on in a stern voice, “Force him to speak. He has two sons, doesn’t he? He can choose which one he wants to keep.”

With a chuckle, Naomi bit his ear playfully. “You’re so brutal. Faymon Group is a huge company. Aren’t you scared that it will be too much for you to stomach?”

“Then I’ll pull it apart and swallow it little by little.”

“How about me?” Naomi purred as she held him tightly and leaned against him. Her lips slowly traveled toward his cheek, but he turned his head to the side and said softly, “I still have matters to attend to. You should leave first.”
