Chapter 43 The Ball Strikes The Back Of The Knee
After looking out to the horizon, the smirking Kristie commented, “That’s just the standard of a beginner.”
Wanting to humiliate Rayna, Kristie hit another ball. This time, it flew even further than the first. With sweat beading off her forehead, she was evidently drained by it.
In truth, playing golf depended more on technique than brute strength. The more relaxed one’s arms were, the further one could hit the ball.
Ignoring Kristie’s snide remarks, Rayna adjusted her posture and hit another ball.
This time, the ball flew so far that it seemed to disappear into the horizon.
When Kristie was unable to spot where the ball landed, she sneered, “Hey, did it fall right in front?”
No sooner had she commented than a whistle was heard from afar.
“I-It’s a hole-in-one?” Kristie widened her eyes in disbelief. “It’s rare for me to hit that even after playing for two years. How can a newbie like you achieve it?”
Rayna smiled slightly. “I never said that I didn’t know how to play. That was just your own assumption.”
Kristie stomped her feet in response.
The sound of the whistle indicated that someone had hit a hole-in-one. Naturally, Curtis and his business partners all heard it.
Smiling, one of them commented, “I didn’t expect this lady to be good at golf. In addition, she looks pretty too. Mr. Faymon, which department does she work in? Is she married?”
The man stared intently at Rayna, clearly interested in her.
Curtis, too, was surprised that the graceful Rayna actually knew how to play golf. In response to the inquiry, Curtis curled his lips and replied, “She just got divorced, and her family is in shambles.”
“How can someone not want such a beautiful woman?” Briefly shocked, the man was now further intrigued. “Her name’s Garland, isn’t she? I’m going to chat her up.”
Just as he spoke, he called out to Rayna, “Ms. Garland, are you free to chat?”
Curtis was somewhat upset.
He assumed the man would back off after he made himself clear, but the latter’s interest only deepened. Is he trying to hit on my woman and take her home?
However, Rayna had already come over before Curtis could react.
Given the man’s intense interest in Rayna, his friends simply smiled knowingly. As for Rayna, she had no choice but to chat with him, as it would be rude for her to refuse.
“Ms. Garland, which is the country you would like to visit the most?”
“Danontand.”
“That’s the country of fairytales. I like it very much too. In fact, my maternal grandmother is from Danontand.”
Rayna didn’t know what to say.
“Ms. Garland, did you get your eyes from your mother? They’re beautiful. Your mother must have been a gorgeous woman.”
Rayna eked out a smile. “Yes, I take after my mother.”
“Ms. Garland, when you have the time, let’s travel to Danontand together.” The man pressed on. “When I was little, I stayed in Danontand before. Hence, I know the place very well and can be your guide.”
Rayna was speechless.
Is this guy trying to hit on me?
Without any warning, Curtis spilled his coffee on Rayna, causing her to spring to her feet. Even when doing so, he took care to only wet the bottom of her outfit.
“I’m sorry. My hands slipped,” Curtis apologized. “You should head to the restroom to clean up.”
“In that case, I must thank you, Mr. Faymon.” Rayna smiled through her gritted teeth before leaving for the restroom. Even though she was peeved by Curtis’ method, it did release her from her conversation.
Meanwhile, Kristie was irked by the sight of what happened.
