His Precious Love

Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Thoughts Running Wild

Jessica had just reached home when Rayna arrived with some food. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

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.”

“Fine. I’ll stop,” Rayna agreed, going into her room to change into a maxi and get her bag before heading out with Jessica.

They left between nine and ten, and it was the peak hour. The traffic was congested, with many cars flooding the street.

Worried that Jessica would be denied entry into the club, Rayna brought her to a bar instead, but Jessica refused to settle for that, so she searched for a good place for fun online and dragged Rayna into the car.

After going one round, they arrived at Heavenly Palace.

“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Rayna said, looking at the club in aversion, for it reminded her of the day she was plastered and committed the worst mistake in her life.

“This place is buzzing with people! Google says this is the most happening place in Norwal City, and there are many hotties around here. I’ve never been here before. Let’s go!” Jessica burst out in excitement.

Given how adventurous she was, Jessica eagerly tugged Rayna into unchartered territory. When they went in, the guards looked at her briefly and let them in, and they entered a dimly-lit venue where everyone was walking around looking like zombies.

When a waiter observed that Jessica was new to the place, he approached her to ask if she was interested in playing any games. Feeling uneasy, Rayna asked, “Are there any private rooms available?”

“I’m sorry, miss. All the rooms have been taken tonight. Why don’t you sit at the table instead?” the waiter suggested, pointing at a less-packed table facing the stage.

Rayna agreed and walked over with Jessica. Then, she ordered some alcohol.

“This place is really something else. There are so many cool guys around here. Don’t you think so, Rayna?” Jessica asked with her eyes glimmering as she looked at the man performing on the stage.

“Yeah,” Rayna answered dismissively. She glanced at the man and quickly retracted her gaze. She had no idea why he reminded her of Curtis when he had a towel wrapped around him.

He looked so charming back then. His build was great, and he was strong. His Apollo’s belt was even apparent above where his towel was.

“Ahem!” Rayna suddenly choked on her alcohol when she realized her thoughts had wandered. Her cheeks were flushed.

What was I even thinking?

“Are you okay, Rayna? Did you just choke?” Jessica asked. When she saw how red Rayna’s cheeks were, she nodded knowingly. “I see. You’re mesmerized by that guy on the stage.”

“Nonsense,” Rayna replied, taking another sip to cover up.

“Hey there, pretties. Is it just the both of you?”

“Do you guys want to join us?”

Suddenly, a group of men and women approached them with some dice. When Jessica saw that, she beckoned the lot over, and their table became filled with people in no time.

Rayna was vigilant at first and sat aside to watch, but when someone pulled her into the game, she loosened up a bit and started having fun.

Amidst the crowd, a careful pair of eyes had been watching Rayna and the others.

A man in full black left silently to make a call when he observed that Rayna was having a good time playing and drinking with other men.

Meanwhile, over at the Faymon residence, it was already past ten when Curtis arrived home in lethargy after work.

Alfred was still up and watching the news in the living room when he reached.

“Why are you still awake, Dad? Didn’t the doctor say you should sleep before eleven because of your health?” Curtis asked with a frown as he walked in.

He was about to call the housekeeper over to bring Alfred to his room.

“I know my body, so stop nagging me like my doctor. You’ve been busy with the company ever since you came back. You don’t even come home sometimes. When will I ever get to talk to you if I don’t stay

up late to wait for you?” Alfred questioned, displeased.

“I’m sorry, Dad. I’ll spend more time at home once I’m done and over with the work I have. All right?” he proposed, sitting down on the couch beside Alfred.
