Chapter 67 Kiss Her
Curtis raised his head and stared at Gabriel with a grim expression. “I notice that you like to pick fights with me lately.”
Upon hearing such, Gabriel stopped talking and left without hesitation.
Gabriel was efficient in his work. Three minutes later, he returned with a pair of small-sized binoculars and handed it to Curtis.
Curtis pointed the binoculars at the window, where he could see the massive pool opposite his location. There were many people at the pool. He could see a lot of half-naked bodies and different types of swimsuits through the binoculars.
After searching among the crowd for some time, he finally saw the slim figure he was looking for. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman wore a tight, white swimsuit over her slender body and tied her hair in a casual bun. She was playing water volleyball with some people, and when she jumped out of the water, her flawless body was on display for all to see.
Curtis moved the binoculars to look at her surroundings and noticed all the men were staring at Rayna. Their plans to get her attention were written all over their faces too. It was clear that the moment the ball hit the water, those men would fight to get ahold of it like simps.
This woman is not pretty at all. Her beauty is no match with Kristie’s. Why are all the men attracted to her?
“So, this is why you wanted the binoculars, Mr. Faymon!” Gabriel noticed the massive pool below them too. At first, Gabriel thought something was wrong with Curtis’ eyes, but it now appeared he was mistaken.
Gabriel then looked around the restaurant. In the face of the crowds and surveillance cameras around them, he suggested in a low voice, “Do you want me to take you to the pool, Mr. Faymon? I don’t believe you can see anything from where you are now.”
Though Gabriel had no idea why his boss had suddenly developed an interest in women and was peeping at them, he thought that would be the best option.
Curtis kept his binoculars away and shot Gabriel a frosty look. “Ms. Garland is having fun at the pool alone, and I want to check on her. What do you think I’m doing?”
Realization dawn upon Gabriel after hearing that.
No wonder I didn’t see Rayna anywhere. I thought she had returned to her room after her meal. It turns out that she is at the pool!
“I wasn’t implying anything, Mr. Faymon.” After adjusting his spectacles with a straight face, Gabriel handed his boss a document and changed the subject. “This document needs your review.”
Curtis took the document from him and casually ordered, “Get Cillian and Gray Wolf to check on her. There are too many people at the pool.”
Gabriel hummed an acknowledgment.
Rayna had a wonderful time at the pool. She met with a few peers, one of whom was a personal translator for a senior Frosa politician, and he had filled her in on a wealth of professional information.
As the crowd around the pool lessened, Rayna figured it was getting late, not to mention that her fingers were pruney. She climbed out of the pool through the ladder and took the towel the server handed her to wipe her body dry.
As the poolside had an elevator that brought the guests directly to their rooms, Rayna planned to return to her room with merely the towel wrapped around her after retrieving her clothes. When she was on her way to the elevator, she heard a familiar voice vaguely.
Rayna turned her head around and saw two men talking to each other. One of them had dark skin and bore a resemblance to James when she saw the side of his face.
This is not possible. Why would James, that little brat, be here?
Rayna rushed over when she saw the two men enter an elevator, wanting to confirm her suspicion. However, because she wasn’t looking where she was going, she ran into a man who was walking in the opposite direction. Her phone and clothes had dropped to the floor, and she was on the verge of toppling.
The man reached out and pulled her to her feet with his slender yet chilly hand. He had a modest watch around his wrist, and Rayna immediately recognized it as Curtis’.
Just as she expected, she met Curtis’ expressionless eyes when she raised her head. The man flashed a half-hearted smile.
It was an awkward situation for Rayna. She immediately let go of the shirt she was grabbing then and crouched down to collect her items. When she got up, she accidentally bumped into Curtis again.
Instantly, the air around them froze.
“Mister, are you going to kiss her?” Suddenly, a chestnut-colored hair boy around the age of four to five appeared out of nowhere and was staring at Curtis and Rayna with excitement written all over his face.
The little boy looked at Rayna and shockingly said in fluent Anglandurn, “Do kiss her, mister. Look at her. Her cheeks are as red as big apples.”
That made Rayna even more embarrassed.
Where does this cheeky child come from?
When Rayna found her phone in the pile of clothes and was about to type down an explanation to the boy, the child suddenly ran toward her and stuffed something into her hand.
“Miss, if you’re going to remarry, please don’t pick someone so old.”
With that, the boy fled the scene. Rayna was dumbstruck, not knowing how to respond to it. She checked her palm and saw a pink toy ring. Meanwhile, she sensed a chilly presence next to her.
Curtis had one of his hands shoved into his pants pocket and pursed his lips while watching the little boy jogging away from them. He also exuded a menacing aura, signaling to everyone that he was upset.
When Rayna recalled what the boy said before he left, she couldn’t help wanting to laugh, but she managed to hold it back. Even so, she couldn’t help checking his expression out.
Curtis is almost thirty now. I guess it is normal for kids to call him an old man.
Rayna got into the elevator with Curtis. The atmosphere inside was quiet and dull. She handed her phone to Curtis after typing: Why do you come down here, Mr. Faymon? I thought you hated crowded places.
After glancing through the content on the phone, Curtis looked at her from the corner of his eyes. “I had just finished my work and decided to take a look around. Ms. Garland, please wear a proper swimsuit next time. This is too provocative.”
Curtis didn’t expect to see so many people enjoy water volleyball. There were too many men around her. He initially planned to get Cillian and Gray Wolf to escort her back to her room, but he changed his
mind, worrying that the two men would be too rude to her.
Rayna subconsciously checked her clothing. I’m wearing ordinary white one-piece swimwear. What is so provocative about this?
Regardless, she merely nodded and said nothing.
Anyway, once we’re done with the collaboration, we won’t see each other anymore. I can wear anything I want. I can even book a room at a hotel and run around the suite naked. I doubt Uncle Curtis can stop me from doing that.
Probably because Rayna could walk now, Curtis allowed Rayna to move back to her original room when they arrived at their floor. Rayna couldn’t wish for anything better. She quickly packed her stuff and moved to her room.
This time, two giant bodyguards were stationed in front of her room, and one of them looked familiar.
Rayna got into her room for a moment and came back outside to take a closer look at Cillian.
The latter met Rayna before. Noticing that she was checking him out, he put on a wide grin. “Ms. Garland.”
That’s right! That’s the voice I heard!
Rayna remembered him as the man who spoke to the other man who looked like James at the pool. She typed on her phone and handed it to Cillian: Who was the man by your side at the pool?
“Oh, he’s Gray Wolf,” replied Cillian. “He’s our leader too.”
Curtis generally handed James assignments because of his intelligence and first-class snipper skill. Hence, even though their team was newly formed, the members already deemed him the leader.
Gray Wolf?
Rayna figured it was a code name. She typed down a question and handed it to Cillian. The message read: What is his real name?
“I don’t know.” Cillian scratched his head. “In our line of work, we generally address each other with code names. Besides, we don’t ask them about their private lives. Why don’t you ask Mr. Faymon about him, Ms. Garland?”
Rayna nodded at him and returned to her room.
Ever since she arrived at Tyrandas, she had bumped into the man who looked like James twice.
Is it possible to have two people looking identical? When I called him last time, he told me he was at school. So, there’s no way he’s in Tyrandas now. Moreover, those two men are bodyguards. If my idiot brother is here, he is one of them too. That’s impossible!
Though James was a naughty boy in her eyes, he was a perfect student who knew nothing about fighting and guns. Hence, Rayna found it hard to believe that he was a bodyguard.
Rayna dismissed the thought and headed into the bathroom for a shower. After putting on a bathrobe and exiting the bathroom, the doorbell rang. She opened the door and saw a server with a cart.
