His Precious Love novel Chapter 449

Darn it!

Upon recalling what happened the previous afternoon, Rayna forgot about her swiss roll and looked at the man in shock.

I’m going to be filming the short film with Curtis?

“M-Mr. Faymon, maybe you should reconsider this.” Rayna was gripped with unease at the thought of how they were going to be spending several days together.

It felt as if she was deliberately trying to approach Curtis and could not live a life without him.

Rayna added, “You’ll have to show your face in the video. Aren’t you someone who doesn’t like appearing in public?”

“That’s right.”

At that, Rayna relaxed. Right as she was thinking of asking Ella to contact the actor to hurry over, Curtis’ nonchalant voice traveled into her ears. “I’ll just get the editors to remove my parts after the filming.”

Rayna was speechless at that.

After devouring the rest of the swiss rolls, she mumbled, “The actor is not bad, honestly. I don’t know why you insist on holding him onto his old scandal…”

“You’re just too naïve,” Curtis said as he opened a finance magazine. “Glory has a bet with Daystar. If Daystar notices that you look like you’re winning, they’ll surely do something.”

A beat later, he continued, “All right, once we get down from the plane, call the actor to come over. I’m going to be dealing with some matters. You always have to lose something to learn your lesson, Rayna.”

Curtis’ words were like bullets from a machine gun, hurting Rayna.

Gloomily, Rayna said, “That was in the past. I didn’t know much because I just entered the industry. Haven’t I grown much since then?”

“Haven’t you been in the industry for a while now?” Curtis gave her a side-eye. “Moreover, you’ve been in Faymon Group before. Even after you change to a new environment, your method of thinking hasn’t changed. Is this the growth you speak of?”

Rayna pursed her lips in silence.

“I’d be too embarrassed to tell others that I trained you.”

Rayna shot him a glare.

Then, a few seconds later, she suddenly smiled and said, “Well, people say eighty percent of a student’s failure is attributed to the failure of the educator, while the remaining twenty percent is because of the student’s own efforts. You’re impressive, Mr. Faymon, but you couldn’t train me properly. Yet, here you are, saying that you’re embarrassed by me. I’d say you’re the failure, Mr. Faymon.”

Curtis stared at her grimly and remarked, “It looks like only your sharp tongue has had some growth.”

“It’s all thanks to the training from one of my jobs in the past,” Rayna replied, nodding in acceptance. “Just admit that you’re a bad teacher, Mr. Faymon. If I had a teacher like Mr. Tylinski, I would’ve soared to great heights a long time ago.”

“You really can’t stop mentioning Gabriel, can you?” Curtis uttered, his expression darkening.

Rayna hummed jovially before answering, “Mr. Tylinski graduated from Salinsburgh University. He’s handsome and smart. My, if it wasn’t for the other person in his heart, I would’ve courted him.”

Curtis narrowed his eyes. “Do you like courting men that much, Ms. Garland?”

“Why not if I like him?” Rayna rolled her eyes at him. “Someone has to be the aggressive one. If he’s shy, I’ll be the one to court, then.”

“Why, are you really interested in Gabriel?”

Rayna shrugged. “He’s a nice man. Anyone who knows better would like him.”

Her response manifested a ball of frustration in Curtis’ chest.

He put on his earplugs and lowered his head to return his focus to his magazine, ignoring her.

He was afraid that he would end up assigning Gabriel to Norham upon getting off the plane if he were to hear another mention of his name from Rayna.

When Curtis stopped talking, Rayna did not initiate the conversation again. Instead, she asked for some snacks from the air stewardess who walked past her.

Not long after, Rayna’s table was filled with snacks.

As she lay on the couch, she leisurely ate and watched the news on the television.

Once in a while, when Curtis took a sip of his water, he would glance at the woman from the corner of his eyes. When he saw her snacking non-stop and noticed the slight bump of her stomach under the blanket, he pressed his lips together.

He realized that the woman had been glutinous ever since she returned to the country.
