Chapter 168 Let Me Be Your Brother

It now makes sense why I thought the time was off. I clearly remembered it being Tuesday, but when I woke up, it was already Thursday. It turns out that I had forgotten what happened on Wednesday night.

“Oh my gosh! What should I do?” Those memories were far too vivid. Rayna could not stop herself from rolling around on the bed. “If I had known that the pill had this effect, I wouldn’t have taken it!”

How should I face Curtis now that I know what has happened? This is so embarrassing!

At that moment, Naomi sent a WhatsApp message stating that something urgent had come up in Faymon Group. Rayna quickly responded, saying she would be there in no time. After changing her clothes, she left the mansion. Of course, she did not forget to ask the housekeeper to come to the mansion before she left.

“Nana!” The moment Rayna entered through the revolving door, someone bumped into her from behind. Jessica walked alongside Rayna and commented, “Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Faymon would be upset at you coming to the company?”

In response, Rayna gave her a fleeting glance and uttered, “Get lost.”

“You’re not the Nana I adore. You’re so fierce,” Jessica grumbled, pretending to be sad. After a while, she asked, “You don’t look good. Did Mr. Faymon ‘bully’ you?”

Rayna’s heart skipped a beat when she heard the word Jessica emphasized. “You’re overthinking it.”

“I figured it out from your expression.”

Rayna was bereft of speech and did not say another word.

“Are you going back at noon? If not, let’s go out for lunch. I came across a restaurant that serves excellent steak!” Jessica stated.

“I’m not going!”

“Nana, you’re about to turn cold and ruthless like Mr. Faymon.”

Rayna remained silent.

Jessica continued to babble on as she used her card to gain access to the elevator for the higher-ups. After they entered, a hand stopped the elevator door from closing as it was about to.

“Good morning.”

Wyatt was dressed in a black suit and standing outside the elevator. He had a tall, lean build and looked particularly attractive in a suit as he exuded an air of elegance.

If it were not for his face, Rayna would not have recognized him. “What brings you here?” she inquired.

“Things are getting worse for Faymon Group. I’m here to help you because I worry that you can’t handle it alone.” After getting into the elevator, Wyatt turned around and asked Jessica, “Good morning, gorgeous. Have you eaten breakfast?”

“Yes.” Jessica subconsciously nodded. After casting a second glance his way, she commented, “You look handsome like this. You should stop wearing those gaudy clothes.”

Hearing that, Wyatt twitched the corners of his lips. The next instant, he flashed her a charming smile. “Sure. If you like it, I can wear a suit all day.”

Rayna could not help but roll her eyes.

Goodness gracious. This guy is terrible at picking up women.

As the elevator ascended, Wyatt attempted to strike up a conversation with Jessica, even leaning in her direction. In Rayna’s eyes, he appeared to have never seen a woman in his life before.

Just when Jessica was about to walk out of the elevator, he quickly suggested, “Let’s have lunch together. My treat.”

“All right, but please let me pay for the meal as a token of appreciation for the flowerpot you gave me.”

Upon hearing her words, Wyatt beamed brightly.

At the same time, Rayna gave him a sidelong glance and snickered. “I made a mistake. If I had known you would show up, I would’ve turned on my phone’s video recorder earlier so you could see how you’re behaving right now.”

“Do I look suave?” Wyatt grabbed her shoulders with his outstretched hands. “I’m very confident in my appearance. Even celebrities could not compare to me.”

“Yes. You could certainly portray certain characters well with that face of yours.” Rayna pushed him away with her elbow and remarked, “You should come to Faymon Group often. We have a lot of pretty women here.”

“No. I only like Jessie.”

“Stop being delusional. She doesn’t like you,” reprimanded Rayna.

“It takes time for feelings to develop. I’m not in a rush.” With a grin on his face, Wyatt prodded Rayna and suggested, “Why don’t you take Jessie in as your younger sister?”

“Why should I?”

“I’ll become your brother-in-law if I’m successful in pursuing her.”

Rayna did not respond.

Shortly afterward, Wyatt added, “Or let me be your younger brother.”

“Have you gone crazy?” Rayna glared at him in disgust. “You’re a couple of years older than I am. Even if you have the nerve to think of me as your older sister, I lack the courage to accept that status.”

A playful smile hung on Wyatt’s lips as he stated, “Don’t worry. I look young.”

However, Rayna did not want to waste time chatting nonsense with him.

At present, she was feeling a little frustrated. First, she discovered that her younger brother was gay. Before she could fully process the news, Wyatt gave her a pill and made her recall such a passionate memory.

Ugh! This is so annoying!

After Rayna arrived at Faymon Group, she attended three meetings, and Wyatt was present at all of them.

In truth, Wyatt often came to Faymon Group. Rayna simply had not realized this because she was too preoccupied with caring for Curtis in the mansion. Since Yannick was arrested for corruption, Wyatt replaced him as the general manager of the international department.

Wyatt usually presented himself in a casual manner and never took matters seriously. However, he would become solemn and stern when in a meeting and speaking about work-related subjects.

All of a sudden, Rayna felt insignificant in comparison to someone like Wyatt, who had been in the business world for a long time. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

She could not help but wonder how Alfred had the courage to hand over Faymon Group to her.

As soon as the meetings were over, Rayna got right back to work. Some of the branches were in trouble. All funds had been frozen, and a lot of employees had left.

Faymon Group had faced all kinds of crises since Curtis’ injury. In truth, it was already on the verge of collapse.

The numerous negative reports about Faymon Group left Rayna mentally and physically exhausted. She devoted herself to her work and did not even join Jessica for lunch.

“Ms. Garland.” Just then, a secretary from the secretarial department entered the CEO’s office with a food jar and handed it to Rayna. “This is from a man with the last name Hamilton. I’ve examined it. There isn’t anything wrong with the food.”

Hearing that, Rayna furrowed her brows.

A man with the last name Hamilton? It must be him.

Instead of asking the secretary to dispose of the food, Rayna opened the jar and discovered a note inside. The jar was filled with food that smelled enticing.

She unfolded the note, and it read: Eat well. I look forward to meeting you.

After reading it, Rayna threw the card into the trash can. Her face was expressionless.

I’m never going to meet you.

In the evening, she went back to the condominium with Jessica instead of going to Curtis’ house. Jessica was shocked and inquired as to what was wrong, but Rayna came up with a random excuse.

For the next few days, Rayna slept at the condominium, claiming that the company had a lot of work to do.

Meanwhile, Wyatt had been hitting on Jessica shamelessly since they had lunch together. No matter what time Rayna and Jessica arrived at the company in the morning, they would always meet him “by chance.”

Rayna was at a loss for words.

“Ms. Garland.” Naomi came into Rayna’s office in the morning and uttered politely, “The gifts for Thanksgiving are ready. Please check to see if they are adequate.”

Taken aback, Rayna queried, “It’s Thanksgiving today?”

“Yes. It was announced yesterday that all employees could leave work after three o’clock today,” Naomi answered.

Does this mean Curtis is going back to the Faymon residence for Thanksgiving?

“Ms. Garland?”

“Yes?” Rayna quickly regained her composure. Looking at the list of gifts, she asked, “Are there any gift cards left?”

“Yes.”

“Then give each executive a ten thousand gift card.”

“Noted.”

After Naomi left, Rayna picked up her phone with the intention of texting Curtis, but the moment she opened her WhatsApp, she paused.

Who am I? What right do I have to spend Thanksgiving at the Faymon residence? Besides, I haven’t been to the mansion in a while, and Curtis acted as if I didn’t exist. He never called or texted me. Why

should I call him to see if he needs help?

Needless to say, Rayna was enraged by the thought. Just as she was about to put her phone down, Curtis called.
