His Precious Love

His Precious Love Chapter 27 Old Lady

"No. It might be a thank-you gift from a client." Rayna flashed a smile and thanked her colleague.

She was back to her usual professional self as though nothing had happened.

After arriving at her desk, Rayna spotted a bouquet of pure white camellias on her desk. There was also an exquisite gift beside it. The sight of the items caused a chill to go down her spine. Only one person knew that her favorite flower was the camellia.

Nestled in the bouquet of camellias was a floral pink card. Rayna took it out and flipped it open to see a message written in Anglandurn: My love, my life.

The handwriting was neat. Rayna could imagine the elegant but confident smile playing on Jefferson's lips as he wrote out this message.

It didn't take long for Jefferson to learn everything about me. He even sent a gift and flowers. Why is he here? Is he here to take revenge on me?

The following day, Rayna happened to bump into Julian at the company.

Julian's expression was dark. He glared at her angrily as though he wanted nothing but to choke her to death.

Rayna sneered inwardly.

She stopped loving him when she heard Meredith and Julian discussing their plan to destroy her reputation so she would leave the marriage with nothing to her name.

There was nothing wrong about taking action first to protect herself.

They entered the elevator.

Rayna stood beside Julian and asked, "Mr. Faymon, you don't look well. Are you sick?"

Julian whipped his head around and shot Rayna a vicious glare.

She planned the whole thing. She was the reason I caught Meredith sleeping with another man. How dare she say this to me? Or did she pretend to be meek previously? Is this who she really is? Julian inched nearer to her and whispered in a voice that could only be heard by them both, "Rayna, you want a divorce, right? You won't get it. I shall make sure you die a horrible death!" Rayna gazed at the man's menacing and ugly expression and couldn't help but feel sad for herself.

After she married Julian, she sacrificed a lot for the Faymon family, save for the fact that they couldn't consummate their marriage. He cheated on her, and she exposed his affair. However, he threatened to make her die a horrible death.

Rayna told him, "You were the one who cheated on me. If you refuse to get the divorce, we shall meet in court."

"I cheated on you?" Julian snickered in disdain. "Did you see it with your own eyes? Do you have any evidence? I want to f*cking sue you for lying to me! You lied that you're pregnant!" Julian seemed confident as though Rayna couldn't get any dirt on him.

Rayna knew that Julian had invited the reporters to be at the hotel. He only needed to pay them money to get all the photos back and stopped them from reporting the matter.

Julian, oh Julian. Didn't you realize that I also paid a reporter to be there?

Nevertheless, it isn't time to expose their affair yet.

Rayna was aware that Meredith was both brilliant and vengeful. The latter would definitely get rid of the evidence if she were to expose them right now. She decided to wait until Meredith took action. With that thought in mind, Rayna said nothing. She stared ahead resolutely with her lips curled. Realizing she seemed abnormally calm, Julian felt rivulets of ice down his spine.

He could tell that something was amiss with Rayna, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Rayna paid no heed to Julian. She had given up on him after she read those WhatsApp messages on his phone.

After moving out of the Faymon residence, Rayna had been staying at a hotel. She didn't like staying there for an extended period and was looking for a place to rent through various channels.

It just so happened that Roxanne gave her a call. Rayna told her about the divorce and that she was searching for a place to live. Roxanne got so excited that she sent the house keys to Rayna that very afternoon through the delivery service.

Rayna's new place was in Cerulean Bay, a high-end residential area not far away from Faymon Group.

According to Roxanne, the house belonged to a friend of hers who had gone overseas. She managed to get her friend to rent the place to Rayna for thirteen thousand per month. Rayna refused to believe her explanation.

Roxanne had to assure her again and again by showing various documents and her friend's ID card before Rayna believed her. When the weekend arrived, she packed her stuff up and moved into Cerulean Bay.

"This block. Thanks a lot!"

Rayna had many boxes of books, so she hired some movers to help her bring the boxes upstairs. She then placed a few items into a box and hauled them up alone. It was quite heavy.

The elevator doors opened, and a young lady's coy voice was heard.

Finding the voice familiar, Rayna lifted her head hastily to see Curtis and Kristie standing inside. They looked like the perfect couple.

Curtis was the first to see Rayna standing outside. Arching a brow, he greeted in his deep voice, "Ms. Garland."

"Mr. Faymon."

It would take her at least three minutes before the other elevator arrived. Besides, Rayna was already halfway inside before she realized their existence. I did nothing wrong. There is no need to avoid them. Kristie harrumphed unhappily and frowned. She's the reason Curt embarrassed me in the movie set that day! I'll never forget that!

Giving her a side glance, Kristie mocked, "Cerulean Bay is a high-end residential area. You're an employee of Faymon Group but can afford to live here. It looks like you're quite rich."

"Is there a rule saying that employees of Faymon Group cannot stay in high-end residential areas?" Rayna responded with a grin. She wasn't about to allow Kristie to step all over her. "I earned some money trading stocks last month and thought of moving into this residential area for some peace. It turns out that I was wrong."

Kristie was flabbergasted by her reply.

It only occurred to her a while later that Rayna was calling her a talkative woman. She nearly jumped in anger. "Old lady, were you ridiculing me? Say that again!"

Rayna remained calm. "What did the old lady say?"

"The old lady is ridiculing you!"

Rayna grunted in acknowledgment as her lips curled into a smile. Beside them, Curtis' lips twitched.

"Y-You..." Kristie was close to tears when she belatedly realized her insult had backfired on her. Stomping her feet, she tugged Curtis' arm pitifully. "Curt, she bullied me!"

With his hand stuck in his pocket, Curtis replied nonchalantly, "Don't talk so much in the elevator."

Kristie pouted unhappily.

Soon, the elevator reached the twenty-sixth floor. Rayna lifted her heavy box and was about to step out of the elevator when Kristie stuck her foot out deliberately.

Rayna promptly stumbled and toppled aside. The elevator wasn't huge, and Curtis was afraid that her head would bump into the elevator's walls. His expression changed slightly as he reached out to hold her box.

Despite so, the woman still ended up falling into his arms. Curtis happened to touch her warm and smooth wrist when he helped her up. A faint orange scent wafted into his nostrils.

At once, he was reminded of that night at the hotel. His brows furrowed up as he immediately held the box so she could regain her balance and kept a distance away from her. "Ms. Garland, be careful." A flash of embarrassment appeared on Rayna's face.

Before she could do anything, a pair of arms intervened and shoved her out of the way.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to seduce him in broad daylight?" Kristie glowered at her. She had no idea that Rayna would end up in Curtis' arms.

"Ms. Winton, are your eyes working well?" Rayna asked. "If this is 'seducing,' I'm afraid no one will do good to avoid being accused of 'seducing.""
