Chapter 7
Recognized Her When Rayna returned from Norham, it was already two weeks later. Despite turning on
data roaming on her phone in the last two weeks, she had received only two text messages from Julian.
One of them was a brief reply to her farewell message before she left for Norham: Travel safe. Rayna
finally decided to give up on him. She had always thought Julian cheated on her in the past because of
her sexual disorder, but now, it seemed that he had lost interest in her. She decided to confront him when
he returned tonight. Just as she was about to arrive at the company, she received a call from her
supervisor. A business partner from Sumanthova had just arrived at the company, and he could only
speak the Rodunstian language. Since he did not come with an interpreter, and the only Rodunstian
language speaker from the CEO’s office was outstation, the translation department had no choice but to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsend Rayna over.
Rayna wanted to turn down the task, but since she was the only Rodunstian speaker in the company,
she could only accept it. Half an hour later, she arrived at Aurelius Club. Rayna took a glance at her
wristwatch and noticed it was only eight-thirty in the evening. The business meeting would only begin in
another thirty minutes. She started preparing the food and wine according to the business partner’s
preference, as per the information given by her superior. After finishing all the preparation by eight-fifty,
Rayna tidied herself and made her way to the entrance. It was then that two Mercedes-Benz pulled to a
halt in front of the club. A few men in suits stepped out of the first Mercedes-Benz once the car doors
were open. All of them had sculpted facial features. Based on the information she had read earlier,
Rayna knew they came from Sumanthova.
Flashing a pleasant smile, she greeted the guests in the Rodunstian language. However, she could not
help but glance at the Mercedes-Benz behind. There were a few vice CEOs in the company, and they
were all ill-tempered. One of them even hated women so much that he would only bring a male
interpreter to business functions. I hope he’s not here. Right then, a tall, serious-looking man opened the
car door and got out of the vehicle. Then, he moved to the other side of the car and opened the door on
that side. Rayna thought the assistant looked familiar, but instead of wasting time trying to figure out who
the assistant was, she stepped forward and was ready to greet the vice CEO. A man with a slender
figure, wearing a pair of shiny leather shoes, stepped out of the car. The man was tall and had broad
shoulders, and he was clad in a fitting metallic gray suit. His hair lay flat, looking absolutely tidy, but there
was a glint of indifference in his eyes. He was poised and elegant, but at the same time, he looked
unapproachable. Uncle Curtis? Rayna’s eyes widened in disbelief when she recognized the man. The
man took a sidelong glance at her and narrowed his eyes, surprised to see her there. Gabriel had

document, Curtis finally understood why Rayna had addressed him as Uncle Curtis at the bar. While
Julian was his cousin’s son, whom he did not have a close relationship with, Rayna was Julian’s wife in
name and also Faymon Group’s senior interpreter.
The man’s insolent stare sent a chill up Rayna’s spine. Her legs trembled, and she tripped on the mat
and fell forward. “Watch out, Mr. Faymon!” Gabriel could only warn him from a distance. Before he could
do anything, Rayna had fallen into Curtis’ arms. Curtis’ lips twitched. Gabriel had been working for Curtis
for many years, but he had never seen a woman who had the audacity to fall into Curtis’ arms twice.
Rayna’s face hurt as she smashed against the man’s chest, but she was immediately captivated by his
body scent. Her heart started beating wildly. This is what Uncle Curtis’ body smells like! “Be careful, Ms.
Garland,” Curtis said in a warm voice. As a gentleman, he helped her up. The moment his cold fingertips
touched her skin, Rayna started having goosebumps. While Gabriel was observing their interaction, he
began to wonder if Curtis recognized her since he called her Ms. Garland.
