His Precious Love novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Agenda Of Emma Mabins
“Wow, so there’s more?” Jessica’s curiosity and excitement intensified. “Quick, tell me!”
“Don’t be nosy!”
Rayna rolled her eyes before shoving Jessica aside. Just as she pressed the elevator button, a towering figure loomed over her.
The familiar masculine breath caused her heart to skip a beat.
“Good morning, Mrs. Faymon.”
Walking past her, Curtis lowered his head and brushed his lips against her ear. As the words rolled off his tongue, his deep voice sounded especially irresistible.
He then strode into the open elevator as if nothing had happened.
Everyone else pretended to be oblivious to the incident.
Clearing her throat to feign calmness, Rayna cursed Curtis in her heart. However, when she turned her head, she was greeted by Jessica gawking at her in shock.
“M-Mr. Faymon… H-H-He…”
Rayna covered Jessica’s mouth and dragged her into another elevator before stabbing her finger desperately at the close button.
It wasn’t until the elevator doors finally shut that she heaved a sigh of relief.
“Mr. Faymon called you Mrs. Faymon! I heard him! Since when did the both of you got married? Why didn’t you tell me?” Jessica’s voice echoed through the elevator as she bombarded Rayna with a barrage of questions.
“No, we didn’t, and keep your voice down.” Rayna held her head in annoyance. “He was just joking.”
Jessica snorted. “I have known Mr. Faymon for a long time. Someone as reserved and ruthless as him doesn’t have a sense of humor. What happened between both of you that I’m not aware of?”
“If he was really reserved, would he have said something like that?”
“Oh…” Jessica smiled at her mischievously. “So, Mr. Faymon isn’t reserved…”
Rayna was speechless.
Finally, she succumbed to Jessica’s carrot-and-stick approach and resigned herself to revealing the origins of “Mrs. Faymon.”
After listening to the entire story, Jessica—eyes almost popping out—laughed so hard that she had to hold on to the elevator handrail to steady herself. “Nana, I can’t believe you fell into Mr. Faymon’s trap despite how smart you are. This is so hilarious!”
Feeling the urge to give her a beating, Rayna snapped, “Laugh all you want!”
“It appears Mr. Faymon is better at scheming than you are!” Jessica hugged Rayna’s arm. “Be honest with me. Mr. Faymon’s so handsome. Aren’t you interested in him?”
“He is handsome, but he’s too cold.” The thought of Theodore’s frosty demeanor elicited a smirk from her. “He behaves as if the universe is against him. Only Jasmine is interested in him.”
“What’s this about Jasmine and him?” the nosey Jessica probed.
Rayna tried to pry her hands away. “Why do you want to know? Now, let go. My top is tailor-made with thin fabric. You’d better not rip it.”
“Nana, you don’t love me anymore.”
“Get lost!” Rayna rolled her eyes. “I already have enough problems on my hands!”
“Don’t let them bother you. Let me take you someplace fun!” Jessica suggested with a giggle. Upon retrieving her phone, she waved it at Rayna. “I won three tickets for a five-day trip to Jetroina through a lucky draw!”
Rayna took Jessica’s phone to verify her claim.
She did won a prize.
“Has the technical staff at Twitter changed?” Rayna mumbled. “Don’t they always leave the best for their own? How did you manage to win such a big prize? Can it be…”
She turned to look at Jessica.
Jessica gave Rayna a gentle pat. “Wyatt doesn’t know about my Twitter account. Anyway, this is from a new live streamer who has always been generous with his prizes. Let’s go have some fun. I’ll sell the third one online.”
Rayna waved her hand. “No, thanks. There’s just too much to do that I can’t afford to have fun.”
Jessica tugged her hand and pleaded like a child, “Let’s just go. After working non-stop for so long, you deserve some rest. Besides, I have never been overseas in my entire life!”
“In that case, what about your passport?”
“I’ll just pay to get it done.”
Rayna gave it some thought and realized it had indeed been a long time since she had gone on a holiday, let alone one where she didn’t have to pay. “Fine. Let’s go. You’d better not end up bringing Wyatt along.”
Jessica flashed a cheeky smile. “Jetroina is a fun and beautiful country. I’m not going to let him get in my way.”
Somehow, Rayna felt as if there was more to Jessica’s words than she was letting on.
Upon arriving at the floor where Jessica would get off, Rayna couldn’t help but ask, “I have a question. How do you manage to act cute without being annoying?”
“That’s because I am cute!”
Rayna was stumped for words.
You’re a true apprentice of Wyatt, having picked up his shameless behavior.
Upon entering the office with a swipe of her card, Rayna was given a shock when everyone looked in her direction. “Why do all of you look so surprised? Or is there something wrong with my outfit?”
Her colleagues shook their heads.
“Then go back to whatever you’re doing.” With a cordial smile, she went into her office.
After going through the pile of documents on her table, she gave the colleague in charge of them a call. “I’m done with the files. You can deliver them to the secretarial department.”
“All right.”
On her way out after picking up the documents, she couldn’t resist turning around to look at Rayna.
Noticing the curious response, Rayna asked with a frown, “What is it? Ever since I came in, all of you have been giving me a strange look. Whatever it is, spit it out.”
The colleague asked carefully, “Ms. Garland, did you not read the papers?”
“What papers?”
The colleague slipped out and returned in less than a minute, placing the newspaper she brought in front of Rayna. “Ms. Garland, if you’re getting married, don’t forget to let us know. We would like to get you a wedding gift.”
Rayna picked up the entertainment section and browsed through it. The moment her gaze fell upon her half-hidden face and the flexed muscular chest, she spewed the coffee in her mouth onto the picture.
Underneath the picture was the headline: Rayna Garland visits the Xavier residence at night. Wonderful news in store for the Xavier family!
The entire page was dedicated to her rendezvous with Theodore. It claimed that she had met Theodore at the mall one afternoon, and he had given her a present, after which both of them engaged in some intimate acts.
Then she had attended Sanders Group’s low-key cocktail reception with Theodore. Both of them were spotted having a tryst in the restroom. Upon emerging from it, Theodore gave her some tissue. Later in the night, she even sneaked into the Xavier residence.
Since when did I go to the Xavier residence? Also, the present was for his own son, all right? As for the cocktail reception, both of us happened to come out of the restroom at the same time, and Theodore was just giving me a pack of tissues. How did it end up becoming a tryst between the two of us? These pictures must have been doctored! With half the girl’s face covered by her long hair, editing her jawline will naturally make her look like me!
Rayna crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it out. She couldn’t contain her rage. She logged into Twitter and discovered that the scandal was raging with even greater intensity there. There was even an interview with Emma.
Faced with the reporter’s question as to whether Rayna had gone to the Xavier residence, the distinguished and elegant Emma didn’t reply directly. Instead, she stated she was not one to interfere in her children’s affairs and that she liked Rayna very much.
Reading between the lines, the reporters could only conclude that Rayna did visit the Xavier residence.
F*ck!
After watching the video, Rayna was certain that Emma was the one who masterminded everything. She probably did it as revenge for my being rude to her at the cocktail reception last night!
Rayna hated herself for making decisions that she regretted. After signing the contract with Theodore and getting involved with him, she ended up falling into Curtis’ trap. Thereafter, she was used by Theodore’s mother as a shield.
