“It’s different this time,” Jasmine replied concernedly. “I’ve been having awful dreams lately. I’m afraid something bad will happen to him. I can’t allow him to die so soon after my son reunited with him.”
Rayna failed to suppress a chuckle. “All right. I’ll definitely take good care of my future son-in-law, so you don’t need to worry about anything. Just go.”
“Thank you.”
After Jasmine entered the company, Rayna headed to Lopez Group to meet with Wyatt.
“I’m Rayna from Glory Corporation,” Rayna informed the receptionist politely. “I would like to meet with Mr. Lopez.”
The receptionist glanced at her before making a call with the internal phone.
Roughly twenty seconds later, the receptionist apologized, “I’m sorry, but Mr. Lopez isn’t here right now. Additionally, he likely won’t be coming back at this hour. Is tomorrow or the day after tomorrow all right?”
Wyatt’s not here? Furrowing her eyebrows, Rayna thought about her next move and asked, “Can I ask what places he often visits?”
“That I do not know. I’m just a receptionist.”
“All right, thank you.”
Just as Rayna was about to leave, the gossipy receptionist asked carefully, “I heard you used to date Mr. Faymon, Ms. Garland. Is that true? Why did you two broke up? Are you really getting together with Glory’s mixed-blood CEO?”
Rayna’s lips twitched before she forced a smile. “Where did you hear this gossip?”
“I’m a member of a few gossip groups within the finance industry. Therefore, I’m able to learn many things about other companies quickly even though I’m in Lopez Group. The groups have been solely talking about you for the past few days.”
“I’m quite curious. Can I take a look at the groups?” Rayna requested calmly. “I didn’t know about any of these.”
The receptionist hesitated for a moment before handing her phone to Rayna.
Upon glancing through the gossip groups, Rayna committed their names to memory before returning the phone to the receptionist. “Thank you. I’m glad that no one in the group posted ugly pictures of me.”
After she stepped out of Lopez Group, she sent the names of the gossip groups to Ella. Then, she ordered, “Add yourself into those groups and change the latest topics by diverting their attention to other news. If that fails, use legal means to shut them down.”
The fact that she was dating Curtis was a secret that no one but their relatives and best friends knew.
I didn’t expect to learn that rumors about my relationship with Curtis and knowledge of Glory’s new CEO’s identity are spreading across the industry after returning to the country. It seems like someone’s masterminding this dissemination to ruin my reputation. However, I don’t have time to take care of this right now for I’m still really worried about Jessie. I couldn’t find Wyatt in Lopez Group, nor do I know where he went recently. I guess I’ll send a WhatsApp message to Gabriel. Curtis and Wyatt are close, and Gabriel’s technically Curtis’ personal housekeeper, so he must know where Wyatt frequents. As she sent Gabriel a message, she was clueless about Curtis’ appropriation of his account.
Curtis had just returned to Faymon Group and was scheduling when to meet up with a few business partners through WhatsApp. As he returned to the main page, he saw he had received a message in Gabriel’s account, which, aside from Rayna, had barely any other contacts.
His finger hovered above the screen for a few seconds before he ultimately switched to Gabriel’s account.
Rayna: Are you busy, Gabe?
Gabe? Curtis was ticked off. Even though she’s not familiar with Gabriel and used to call him Mr. Tylinski, she’s now calling him Gabe? Why does he get that treatment now while she calls me Mr. Faymon? She even speaks formally with me when she’s angry!
He replied: What’s the matter, Ms. Garland?
