His Precious Love

Chapter 41

Chapter 41 The Wilful Princess

“Ms. Winton, it’s not surprising that you have such a habit, but I don’t.” Rayna gave her the side-eye. “The keycard was given to me by Mr. Tylinski. Mr. Faymon is aware and has given his permission.”

Kristie clenched her teeth in anger.

D*mn it, why didn’t Mr. Tylinski give me one?

Rayna then added in surprise, “Ms. Winton, is that why you’re surfing on your phone? Because you don’t have the key?”

“Of course I do. I have just forgotten to bring it and don’t feel like going back for it.” Kristie thrust her chin forward. “I came here specifically to monitor you so that you won’t be able to scheme against Curt.”

Rayna took a deep breath. “Ms. Winton, it isn’t…”

Once the door opened, Kristie slipped into the house and warned Rayna, “Don’t think just because you have slept with Curt once that you can do as you please. I have my eyes on you.”

Rayna was speechless.

Fine. Even if I explain, this stubborn princess will probably refuse to listen.

As Rayna brought the ingredients into the kitchen, Kristie followed closely behind. Annoyed by the latter, Rayna dropped a live fish at her feet on purpose.

“Ah!” Kristie screamed in terror as the fish flopped around her leg. “Rayna, you must have done it on purpose! Take it away from me!”

“I’m sorry. My hands just slipped.” After apologizing, Rayna tried to catch the fish but failed repeatedly.

As the fish jumped three feet high, it brushed across Kristie’s leg.

No sooner had her face lost all color than Kristie dashed out of the kitchen, closing the door behind her and leaving only a small gap.

Rayna was finally at ease.

“Rayna, y-you…” Glaring at Rayna, Kristie—unable to swear due to her upbringing—reprimanded her instead, “Curt doesn’t eat fish. Why did you buy fish?”

“He doesn’t eat fish, but I do,” Rayna replied in an innocent tone. “Taking care of him doesn’t mean that I don’t have to eat, right? Besides, he never stopped me from buying fish.”

She then approached Kristie with the fish in her hand. “Ms. Winton, do you eat fish? This one is particularly delicious!”

Amidst Kristie’s scream, the door slammed shut instantly.

“Curt, I’m being bullied!” Beyond the door, Rayna could hear Kristie running upstairs in tears. Hence, she figured the latter must have gone to Curtis to complain.

By the time Rayna prepared the ingredients and stored them in the freezer, Curtis had already come down.

He was dressed in a light-gray-hand-tailored suit as if he was going out for a meeting. Kristie, holding his arm, was pouting pitifully.

“Good morning, Mr. Faymon,” Rayna greeted. The sight of him in a suit reminded her of his wounds. Hence, she remarked, “The doctor advised that you should be wearing looser clothes over the next few

days to avoid any pressure on your wounds.”

Furthermore, she had accidentally grabbed his wounds the night before and wasn’t sure if they had worsened.

“Last night, I got my personal doctor to deal with it, so it’s fine.” Just as Curtis spoke, he put on the square cufflinks that Kristie had just handed over. “I’m going out for a meeting. You should come with me.”

Rayna nodded. “All right.”

“Curt, you have to teach her a lesson!” Kristie shook his arm. “She just used a living fish to scare me.”

“Usually, don’t you always stay far away from living seafood?” Curtis gave her the side-eye. “If you hadn’t gone too close, how would you have been frightened?”

Kristie stomped her feet. “Curt, why do you always take her side?”

“She has done nothing wrong. It’s you who’s being wilful,” Curtis replied coldly. “Also, I recall that you are due to start filming for your new movie, so why aren’t you with the film crew now?”

“Mr. Zane has taken leave from the film crew due to some personal issues. Hence, I’m on a break too.”

“In that case, you should be studying your script at home. What is your manager doing?”

Cognizant that Curtis was accusing her manager of being incompetent, Kristie responded coyly, “Come on, I’m already familiar with my lines. Besides, no one can stop me from coming to see you.”

The words caused Rayna to feel a tingling sensation in her ear. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She couldn’t deny that Kristie was adept at playing coy. Considering her good looks and gentle voice, her attempt at doing so sounded natural, although it might feel cringy to some.

On their way out, Kristie even slowed down on purpose to walk next to Rayna.

“Rayna, you should give up.” Brimming with haughtiness, Kristie broke into a smug smile. “I will follow you everywhere so that you won’t have the opportunity to be alone with Curt.”

Rayna’s lips twitched.

In that case, I should really thank you, Ms. Winton.

Meanwhile, Gabriel was already waiting outside the mansion. When he saw Curtis emerge with two women behind him, he simply adjusted his spectacles before opening the car door.

“Good morning, Mr. Faymon.”

Kristie slipped into the backseat without hesitation and held onto Curtis’ arm upon his entry. “Curt, where’s your meeting? I want to go with you.”

“I’ll get Mr. Tylinski to send you home, and I’ll go and see you in the evening,” Curtis remarked.

“I don’t want to go home!” Kristie snorted in protest. “I want to be by your side. What if you need my help? Come on, take me along with you!”

“Stop making a fuss.”

“I don’t care. I insist on going!” While speaking, Kristie even gave Rayna, who was sitting in front, the side-eye. “This dumb woman can’t even make a cup of coffee. What else is she good for?”

“Ms. Winton, if you want to go, just be honest about it. There’s no need for such personal attacks, is there?” Rayna turned toward Kristie. “Besides, I’ve never used such coffee equipment before. Hence, it’s understandable for me to make a mistake.”

Even though she had made coffee for Curtis the night before, she could tell from the frown on his face that it wasn’t good. Hence, after checking on the internet, she realized she had used the wrong equipment.

Although she didn’t know how Kristie came to know about it, using the incident to attack her was just too much.

“Why didn’t you check the manual since you’ve never used it before? Stop making excuses and just admit your mistake!” Kristie snapped. “Anyway, something like this won’t happen when I’m the one making the coffee, for the coffee I make tastes excellent.”

Rayna was bereft of words.

“Enough.” Curtis was annoyed listening to the two women arguing inside the car first thing in the morning. “You can come along but don’t cause any trouble.”

As Kristie broke into a delightful smile, she tightened her grip on Curtis’ arm. “Mmm-hmm, I’ll behave.”

Soon, their car arrived at a golf course.

It was the biggest and most exclusive golf course in Norwal City. With membership fees at one million per year, only the social elites were able to afford it. Naturally, Faymon Group had a stake in it too.

While Rayna rode in a buggy together with Curtis and Kristie toward the golf course, she cupped her chin while scanning the surroundings. From Kristie’s perspective, Rayna looked just like a country bumpkin who had never been to the city before.

“I’m sure you have never played golf, haven’t you?” Kristie asked haughtily as she crossed her legs and shook them. “If you beg me, I’ll teach you how to play later.”

“That’s not going to happen.” Rayna smiled faintly.

Even though she didn’t like the sport, she did play when she went out with Jefferson in the past. Although she wasn’t particularly good and nowhere as good as professionals, she was capable enough for amateurs.

In fact, she had even been to the most luxurious golf course in Lightspring before. Therefore, the one in Norwal City didn’t particularly impress her. She was simply curious, as she hadn’t been to a golf course in a long time.

In response, Kristie let out a heavy snort.

After the waitress ushered them to a private room within the restaurant, Rayna was greeted by the presence of three blond men. Even Jonathan, her supervisor, was there.
