Vivi rolled her eyes at her and replied, “It’s our local delicacy. Do you know just how many people want to eat it but can’t?”
Rayna picked up a piece of mango with a fork and dipped it into the chili.
Surprisingly, it was quite good.
Vivi had wanted to chat with Rayna. However, before they could sit down, she received a call from her husband.
After taking the call, Vivi told Rayna that she was going to pick up some goods with her husband and left in haste.
Rayna lay back against a swing chair and basked in the sunlight as she enjoyed the mangos.
Without her realizing it, Rayna finished a big plate of mangos.
“Ms. Garland, enjoying the sun, are we?” A stylist brought a lunch box over and teased, “Mr. Faymon noticed you didn’t have lunch in the dining room just now. He asked me to send you some duck stew.”
Rayna shifted uneasily. “I’m not a morning person. You could have just asked someone to send lunch to my room.”
As a matter of fact, she hadn’t joined them because she couldn’t stand them gesticulating about her and Curtis.
The stylist mumbled, “Mr. Faymon was so worried about you and kept asking us why you weren’t there. Tsk tsk!”
“Put it here. I’ll eat it later,” Rayna said awkwardly.
“All right. I’ll set it down here. Anyway, I’ll get going now.”
Rayna finally felt more comfortable after the stylist left.
She glanced at the lunch box placed on the table and was tempted to eat the duck stew.
However, she had a lot for lunch, not to mention the huge plate of mangos. Hence, she was quite stuffed.
Rayna greeted Vivi’s mother-in-law when the latter walked past her.
“Mdm. Myers, did you just come back?”
“Yes. Vivi wants to eat mangos. There’s none left. So I went out to buy two boxes of them,” Claire replied. Then, she opened the box and gave Rayna a handful.
