His Precious Love

Chapter 610

Rayna kissed her on the cheek and asked, “Is it okay if I have breakfast with you and Grandpa tomorrow instead?”

“I'm okay with that, of course. However, you ought to please your husband first.” Sandy chuckled. “You've just

returned from a one-month business trip, and you're keeping yourself busy again. I don't think he's happy with

that.”

Rayna flashed a smile in response. “It'll be all right! I'll apply for a long leave tomorrow so that I can make it up to

him!”

After sending Sandy and the kids to the Faymon residence, Rayna had a brief conversation with Alfred before

rushing to Gratia Hotel. When she was on her way there, she texted Curtis to tell him she was attending a

celebration dinner.

When she was writing her third text for him, she realized Curtis had blocked her.

“He's so childish!” Rayna was struck dumb when she saw the notification. All I did was go on a business trip and

hang up on him a few times because I was busy! Does he really need to do this?

Once she arrived at Gratia Hotel, she told the server who she was, and the server quickly brought her to the private

room Larry and the others were in.

As soon as the door of the private room opened, she saw some people sitting in front of the huge table and having

a pleasant time. Larry was the first to see her come in, and he hurriedly rose to his feet to greet her.

“Hi, Ms. Garland.” Larry shook Rayna's hand and whispered, “I know you just came back to Norwal City, and I

should let you rest. However, we're celebrating the completion of 'Bright Moon' tonight.”

In response, Rayna flashed him a smile and uttered in a gentle tone, “I understand. However, you're still the one

who has been assisting the artists.”

Larry was pleased to learn how sensible his superior was. After that, he led Rayna to sit next to a young man and

said, “This is Chandler Vardy. You haven't met him, right, Ms. Garland?”

Ever since the acquisition of Happy Entertainment and the reshuffle of its upper management, Rayna handed

everything to the new CEO. Hence, she rarely involved herself in Happy Entertainment's operations.

Not only did she not know Chandler, but she also didn't know any of the artists in the company.

That being said, Rayna had seen Chandler on Twitter quite a few times prior to that due to his popularity.

The young man instantly took off his cap to reveal his handsome features when he heard Larry's words. In a

respectful tone, he greeted, “Hi, Ms. Garland. I'm Chandler Vardy. Thank you for your support.”

“Oh, no. You should be thanking Larry,” Rayna replied. This young man is polite. Although he achieved fame at a

young age, he doesn't act arrogantly. Needless to say, Rayna had a pleasant first impression of him.

While smiling at Chandler, Rayna picked up a glass of orange juice and passed it to him. “Follow your manager's

guidance. If you can do that, you'll surely win three best actor awards.”

“Heard.” Chandler took the glass of juice and smiled bashfully. “I'll listen to whatever Mr. Wingate says.”

Rayna then handed a glass of orange juice to Larry.

Taking the orange juice from Rayna, Chandler smiled. “You flatter me, Ms. Garland. Getting three of those awards is

a tough task! If Chandler were to get them, he would be a veteran by then!”

“I know how good you are at managing them.” Rayna raised her glass and clinked it with his. “The artists that

you've mentored are all doing well in the entertainment industry, aren't they?”

Larry was over the moon when he heard the compliment, and he felt his contributions toward Happy Entertainment

were all worth it. Seeing that the investors weren't there yet, he quickly introduced Rayna to a few more of their

artists.

Around ten minutes later, the investors finally arrived.

Those investors, who were sought out by the producer of “Bright Moon,” were well known in the entertainment

industry. Originally, they weren't interested in the television series Happy Entertainment was filming. However,

Chandler's popularity happened to be off the charts, and they also found out that Larry was his manager.

Furthermore, the director of the television series had a certain amount of publicity and was known for having high

standards for his films. Although those investors had already invested in the production earlier, they were

impressed by a few teasers shown to them afterward. In the end, they all invested millions more.

Ever since the acquisition, Rayna had rarely shown herself in public. Despite knowing that Happy Entertainment was

a subsidiary of Glory Corporation, the public didn't know Rayna was the buyer of the company, and neither did

those investors.

Glory Corporation was a listed cosmetic company that was doing well in the stock market. Although the products

were impressive, they were nothing compared to the three largest cosmetic companies in the country. Naturally,

those investors weren't impressed.

When the investors were greeting Rayna, she could sense their arrogance when they spoke. However, she was

unperturbed. In fact, she was even smiling and exchanging pleasantries with them. I shouldn't care what they think

of me. The most important thing is that they're impressed by Happy Entertainment's artists. These investors are

interested in Chandler because he's popular. As his popularity grows, so will his fan base. His fans will then buy the

products he endorses and watch his movies and television series. Obviously, they're going to hold on to their cash

cow tightly.

Within half an hour, Larry had gotten a dozen of business cards from the investors. Those business cards either

belonged to movie directors or representatives from certain companies. Evidently, Larry was elated.

“Hi, Ms. Garland.” An investor, Taylor Thompson, suddenly turned his attention toward Rayna and smiled. “I haven't

seen many people your age becoming a director of a company. May I know who is your father?”

Rayna swirled her glass and smiled faintly. “I would love to tell you that, Mr. Thompson, but my parents divorced

when I was little. I was raised by my mother.”

Taylor's interest was piqued. “Are you saying that you've achieved all this on your own? How impressive! Are you

married, Ms. Garland?”

Rayna frowned slightly, but she concealed her frustration. “Yes. I'm married.”

“May I know what your husband does for a living?” Taylor questioned. “Is he involved in the entertainment industry?

What's his name? Perhaps I know him!”

Larry could tell that Taylor was taking a dig at Rayna. Under these circumstances, it's obvious that Ms. Garland has

to stay calm. However, as her subordinate, I can't possibly sit on my hands.

With that in mind, Larry immediately went to top up Taylor's glass and said, “Mr. Thompson, didn't you say you were

going to introduce some endorsement deals to Chandler?”

“Oh! Yes! These companies are looking for artists from Aploth. I think Chandler is the perfect candidate...”

Rayna heaved a sigh of relief inwardly after seeing how Larry had distracted Taylor. If not for Larry, I think I

would've lost my composure and thrown my glass of orange juice at Mr. Thompson's face!

Chandler, who was sitting next to Rayna, leaned toward her and asked with concern, “Are you all right, Ms.

Garland?”

Rayna shook her head in response. Right when she was about to say something, Chandler lost his grip on his glass

and spilled half a glass of orange juice on her skirt.

Chandler panicked and quickly put his glass on the table and said, “I'm so sorry, Ms. Garland. I—”

“It's fine.” With the young man's importance to the company in her mind, Rayna suppressed her anger and stood

up with a smile on her face. “Please excuse me. I need to go to the restroom.”

Rayna left the private room and walked down a long corridor to go to the restroom.

The orange juice spilled on her waist. Since her skirt was made of thin material, it was stuck on her body after it got

wet.

While furrowing her brows, she tried to wipe the wet patch dry by using napkins. As she was doing that, she took

out her phone to see that Curtis had yet to unblock her. Upon letting out a wry chuckle, she rang him. Why isn't he

answering my call? Is he still mad at me?

“Gosh! An angry husband is even harder to please than an angry child,” Rayna mumbled to herself before throwing

the napkins into the bin. The moment she exited the restroom, she saw Chandler leaning against the wall outside.

“Oh? Why are you here?” she asked.

“I'm terribly sorry about just now, Ms. Garland.” Chandler walked up to Rayna and handed her a shopping bag.

“Miranda happens to have a new skirt in her car, so I bought it from her. Since you guys are almost the same size, I

think you should be able to wear it.”

Rayna lowered her head to check out the skirt. The wet patch on her skirt was still plastered on her skin, and it had

gotten slightly transparent.

Hence, she accepted the dress and thanked him before heading to the restroom to change.

Female artists were generally very thin in order to look good on the screen. Fortunately, it was a self-tie skirt, so

Rayna could fit in it. She then stuffed the hem of her chiffon shirt into the skirt, adjusted it, and exited the restroom.

The second Chandler laid eyes on her, his eyes lit up passionately, but she didn't notice it.
