Chapter 341 Everything Is Fine With that in mind, Gabriel glanced at Curtis and uttered sheepishly, âMr. Faymon, women are temperamental. If you were to console her, Iâm sure sheâll come back...â
âGabriel,â Curtis voiced before shooting Gabriel a solemn glance. âYouâve been working for me for long enough to know me well.
Also, I think youâve been too chatty recently.â
Gabriel lowered his head guiltily straightaway because he knew he had overstepped a boundary. âIâm sorry, Mr. Faymon. Iâve crossed the line.â
When Gabriel was walking out, Curtis added coldly, âHave the HR department delete all of Raynaâs information. No matter where she goes in the future, Faymon Group will have nothing to do with her.â
âYes, Mr. Faymon.â
Gabrielâs face fell after he exited the CEOâs office. Why did Ms. Garland suddenly want to break up with Mr. Faymon? Besides, she did it so cruelly. Iâve been working for Mr. Faymon for so many years now, so I know his personality. He had never expressed his emotions to anyone other than Ms. Garland.
Indeed, he noticed the changes in Curtis ever since Rayna came into Curtisâ life. His mood had improved by the day, and he was even smiling more. Moreover, Gabriel had also noticed a slight hint of tenderness in Curtisâ eyes.
Back when Gabriel had to go to Jetroina for some work, he witnessed their relationship first-hand. When Ms. Garland was injured, it was the first time I saw Mr. Faymon forcing someone into a corner. Heck, Mr. Faymon has never been fond of joining in the fun, yet he ended up singing a song for Ms. Garland on stage that was witnessed by almost a thousand people. If that isnât love, what is?
âWhen Mr. Faymon went back home for a while before coming back to the office that day, he had been cold and indifferent ever since. Why is that?â Gabriel mumbled to himself. Something crucial mustâve happened that day when he returned to the Faymon residence.
âMr. Tylinski.â A secretary dashed toward him and said, âA woman with the surname Garland is here to see Mr. Faymon. Sheâs now in the lobby downstairs. However, she didnât make an appointment beforehand. What should we do?â
Gabriel trembled all over, and he asked hurriedly, âIs Ms. Garland back?â
âOh, no.â The secretary shook her head and answered in bafflement, âAlthough the womanâs surname is Garland, sheâs not Ms.
Garland. This woman is quite old. I donât know why is she here, but she has a lunch box in her hand.â
âOkay. Iâll go over.â Gabriel assumed it was Linda, so he quickly got into the elevator and went downstairs.
When he arrived in the lobby, Gabriel glanced around and saw a flustered middle-aged woman with a lunch box in her hand.
Sure enough, it was Raynaâs mother, Linda.
Gabriel went up to her immediately and asked, âWhat brought you here, Ms. Linda?â
âI have nothing going on today, so I thought I would swing by.â Linda heaved a sigh of relief when she saw him.
She then gave the lunch box and two bottles of wine to Gabriel. âThis is chicken stew, and itâs for Mr. Faymon. Belle told me how much you like wine, so these bottles are for you. Thatâs all the wine I have at the moment because the latest batch isnât ready yet. I hope you donât mind.â
âNo! Why would I mind?â Gabriel smiled and accepted the lunch box and the wine. âIâm so touched by the fact that you still remember me and youâre giving me stuff. Letâs go. Iâll bring you upstairs.â
âThatâs not necessary. I came to look for you.â Linda waved dismissively before stammering, âDo you know what happened to Curtis and Belle? D-Did they break up?â
Gabriel jumped in alarm, but he tried his hardest to maintain the smile on his face. âWhy would you think so?â
Linda heaved a sigh and answered, âOne week ago, Belle called me and told me she would be abroad for a while. She then hung up before I could question further. I called her back a few times, but I never managed to get through to her. However, I noticed the difference in her mood when she was on the phone with me. Did she have a fight with Curtis?â
âThereâs no such thing!â Gabriel answered in a serious tone. âThings are great between Mr. Faymon and Ms. Garland! Ms.
Garland had only gone abroad for work. Youâre overthinking.â
âIs that so?â
Gabriel nodded and flashed a smile. âMs. Linda, Iâm with Mr. Faymon every day. If something were to happen between them, donât you think I would know? Donât worry, okay? Theyâre fine.â
âIn that case, Iâm relieved.â Before she left, Linda remembered something, and she asked Gabriel if he knew any embroiderers.
Gabriel thought Linda wanted to start a side business, so he introduced her to the embroidery companies Faymon Group was associated with. After that, he sent her out of Faymon Group personally.
Gabriel couldnât help but sigh while looking at the lunch box in his hand and recalling how cold the CEOâs office was. Besides, Curtis was being extremely aloof. Now that Mr. Faymon and Ms. Garland are no longer dating, what should I do with this chicken stew? Should I or should I not send it to Mr. Faymon?
Meanwhile, Rayna knew her relationship with Curtis had ended along with the phone call. However, she had no other choice. I owe Jefferson too much, and I canât keep seeing bad things happening to him.
With that in mind, she recomposed herself and forgot all about that matter.
Ever since arriving in Frosa, Jeffersonâs condition had improved. He was no longer coughing up blood as often as before. Hence, Rayna was feeling a lot better.
Rayna took the map Jessica gave to her and was ready to look for Jeremyâs laboratory.
Jefferson said he would accompany her, but she insisted on doing it on her own.
The weather in Yorksland was rather cold, and it was always raining. The temperature was only four to five degrees above the freezing point during the daytime. Fearing that the cold and wet weather could worsen Jeffersonâs condition, Rayna told him to rest in the hotel.
The laboratories on the map were scattered all around Yorksland. In order to travel more conveniently, Rayna went to the car rental company to rent a car and followed the route on the map.
She would then drive throughout the day. Although she managed to find all the secluded laboratories, she couldnât locate Jeremyâs.
Rayna knew Jeremy served for Hawen before, so he was bound to be well known. She thought the other researchers would definitely know him. Hence, she asked some of the researchers if they knew where Jeremyâs laboratory was.
Those researchers told her they all knew each other. Furthermore, the laboratories would even exchange their data. However, they couldnât reveal the location. They told her that she had to find the laboratory on her own.
With that, Rayna had no choice but to do as she was told.
Time went by quickly as she searched for the laboratory on the road every day.
Another day passed, and she still couldnât find Jeremyâs laboratory. When she arrived at the hotel in exhaustion one evening, she noticed the festive stickers in the lobby.
Apparently, it was Chanaeaâs festive season.
When the elevator was taking Rayna up to her floor, she couldnât help but rub her forehead in frustration. Jefferson and I have been in Frosa for half a month now, but I still havenât found anything.
Once, when she grew really desperate and wanted to call Jeremy to ask for the location of his laboratory. However, she decided against doing that at the very last second. Even if Jeremy were to agree to help, that would mean I have to owe Curtis a favor.
Besides, Curtis already said although he wouldnât harm Jefferson, he wasnât going to save Jefferson. Unfortunately, Jefferson is running out of time.
