Chapter 49 Thoughts Running Wild
Jessica had just reached home when Rayna arrived with some food.
Jessica used to stay at Tucker Condominium after signing a three-year lease, but she was tricked by a long-time scammer and ended up in dire straits. When Rayna saw that, she asked Jessica to move in since there was an empty room at her condominium at half the rental price.
“You’re my savior, Rayna! I can’t believe you brought me food! I did an experiment today, and it was successful. Why don’t we go out and celebrate later?” Jessica asked, pecking Rayna on the cheek twice.
“Why should we go out? We can just celebrate at home,” Rayna asked, puzzled.
“Of course, we have to. It’s been some time since I came to Norwal City, but I’ve always been buried in my design drafts every weekend. I never had the chance to explore the place,” Jessica complained.
She’s right. I’ve been resting a lot over the past two weekends, but Jessica has been working overtime since the planning department has been busy.
“All right, then. I’ll bring you out later.”
Afraid that the food might turn bad the next day, Jessica finished them off immediately. “Mm! This tastes delicious! Your mom’s cooking is superb! It’s so good I almost swallowed my tongue!”
“She used to be a chef,” Rayna replied. “She had to bring the three of us up, so sometimes I’ll cook when she was working. My brother picked up the craft when he grew up too.”
In fact, Roxanne was the only one among them who did not know how to cook.
“I didn’t know you had a brother. Is he still studying?” Jessica asked out of curiosity, holding her glasses.
“Yes. He’s at boarding school, so we don’t see him often, but it’s weird. His school doesn’t require a university entrance exam. They admit students based on internal referrals,” Rayna said with a nod.
“Oh! He must be really smart, then,” Jessica remarked, moving closer to Rayna. “By the way, I saw Kristie going out when I came home in the morning to grab something. There was a tall and hot guy beside her. Do you think she’s cheating on Mr. Faymon?”
“I don’t think she will. The man you saw is probably her bodyguard.” From what Rayna observed, Curtis was the only man Kristie cared about. She had never ever paid attention to anyone else.
Besides, Kristie would not have the guts to keep a sugar baby right under Curtis’ nose.
“He keeps a straight face and looks a little like Brad Pitt. It would be nice if he were my boyfriend,” Jessica noted wishfully, biting her fork.
Here, she sighed. “But that’s never going to happen. I’m busy with work all the time and don’t even have time for myself, what more having a boyfriend? Life is hard!”
Rayna pursed her lips, smiling. “Don’t worry. I’ll bring you to meet some hot guys later.”
“I love you, Rayna!”
Rayna turned on her laptop to sort some work stuff before heading out. There were still a few documents Curtis sent in her email, making her wonder if he even took what she said seriously when they talked the other day.
I thought we’d called it even between us. Why do I still have to go through his documents for him? The people in the secretarial department are there for a reason.
“Let’s go, Rayna!” Jessica had already showered and dressed up when she hurried Rayna up.
The latter almost burst out laughing when she saw Jessica.
Because Jessica looked too young for her age, she looked like a student even after she put on something sexy. She looked petite and slim, with her hair tied up in a bun. Anyone would agree that she was cute.
“What’s the matter? Is there something wrong with my clothes?” Jessica asked, looking at herself.
“No. You look adorable. I’m sure some places won’t even allow you in,” Rayna said, trying to hold in her laugh.
“I know I’m short, so please stop rubbing it in.”
