Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 509

“Why would I get on the trending topic with him?” Rayna was confused.

Only when she took over the tablet and looked at it did she understand what it was about.

It turned out that the promotional video about the new product of Glory had been widely spread across various video streaming websites and Twitter. Some of the netizens were guessing who the actor and actress were by judging from their side profiles.

Surprisingly, they got them right.

Initially, the netizens didn’t think there was anything wrong with Rayna being the female lead. However, when they found out that the male lead was Curtis, their curiosity was piqued. They started discussing why Curtis, who was such a busy man, would make time to take part in the video.

In the end, they concluded that Rayna was in a relationship with Curtis after talking about the video and the scandal Rayna had with Curtis when she was working at Faymon Group. That was how she ended up on the trending list with Curtis.

Rayna’s lips twitched as she read the comments.

Back then, it had never crossed her mind that Curtis would play a role in the video.

It was all because of that day when Curtis went to Glory for the meeting. She got into a dispute with him when they discussed who to cast as the male lead for the short film and even challenged him to play that role himself.

If she knew that it was going to cause an uproar on the internet, she would’ve calmed herself down at that time instead of getting into a fight with him.

Her assistant glanced at her. “Ms. Garland, the news…”

“Don’t have to do anything about it.” Rayna gave back the tablet to Ella. “Let them say whatever they want. It’s not going to cause me any harm anyway. We can seize the opportunity to use Mr. Faymon’s reputation to promote our new product too.”

“Aren’t you afraid that Mr. Hamilton will be jealous?” Ella joked.

Jefferson had been taking great care of Rayna since he joined the company. The employees were aware of it and used to gossip about them.

Never did they expect that Rayna would really get into a relationship with their new CEO.

Rayna laughed. “It’s just a trending topic. He isn’t someone who would get jealous easily.”

However, after Ella left, Rayna felt that something was amiss; thus, she rang Jefferson up using the internal line to tell him about it.

“I know what happened.” Jefferson knew the situation she was in.

Rayna thought that he was really fine with it, so she didn’t think too much about it.

Only when the news about her and Curtis remained on the trending list on Twitter for about four to five days did she realize that Jefferson was angry. He wasn’t in the mood to talk to her whenever she looked for him.

“Alas, I’m here with you, aren’t I? I’m not going to run away with another man.” Rayna was at a loss when she sensed his jealousy. “I wouldn’t do it if it wasn’t for the new product.”

“I know, and I understand too,” Jefferson said. “I’m not jealous. Don’t overthink things.”

Rayna was rendered speechless.

Afraid that he would drown in jealousy, Rayna got Ella to contact various media outlets and ask them to come to Glory.

She’d be holding a press conference in the conference room in the afternoon.

At the press conference, she stated that her relationship with Curtis was nothing more than business partners. She continued to explain that Glory Corporation was still involved in business cooperation with Faymon Group, and the rumors about her being together with Curtis were fake.

One of the reporters spotted the large pink diamond on her finger and asked loudly, “Ms. Garland, who gave you the diamond, then? Don’t try to gloss it over by saying that you bought it yourself. We’re not going to buy that answer!”

“You’re so observant.” Smiling slightly, Rayna lifted her hand and showed the crowd the jewelry on her finger. “My fiancé gifted this to me. it is beautiful, isn’t it? I purposely wore it today.”

“Ms. Garland, who’s your fiancé?”

“Pardon me for not telling you about this previously.” Rayna looked into the camera; her eyes were gentle. “He’s the new CEO in Glory, Jefferson Hamilton. You know him too.”

At the mention of that, the media reporters below the stage gasped in shock.

“Ms. Garland, are you guys planning to tie the knot?” another reporter asked.

Rayna didn’t frown at all. Nodding, she smiled and said, “Yes, we’re selecting the wedding gown at present. We’ll be getting married at St. Paterlica’s Church on the twenty-fifth of this month. Everyone is invited to the ceremony.”

Wow!

The reporters were stunned upon hearing her reply. Shutters and flashes from the cameras began to aim at her non-stop.

This is mind blowing news!

“Ms. Garland!” a reporter called. “We heard that you were once in a relationship with Mr. Faymon. Does he know that you’re getting married soon? Is he invited to your wedding ceremony?”

Still smiling, Rayna tucked her hair behind her ear. “Mr. Faymon and I are just friends. We have never dated each other. Of course, I’ll invite him. I’ll even welcome him warmly if he comes.” Glancing at her watch, she said politely, “Sorry, guys. I have got to go. If there’s anything else, feel free to approach my assistant.”

Rayna didn’t linger around on the stage.

Only when she exited the conference room did she let out a long sigh of relief.

Holding a press conference is so troublesome. I couldn’t even show a slight change in my expression regardless of how blunt the questions were. If something wrong were to be caught on camera, the reporters would definitely create stories out of it.

“Belle.”

Jefferson strode over in Rayna’s direction. He was in a good mood.

“You rushed over after watching the live stream, right?” Rayna glanced at him. “If I knew the reporters would be so troublesome, I should’ve brought you to the stage for you to speak to them yourself!”

Jefferson gently tugged on her hand and kissed it several times. “Didn’t you say that our engagement is at the end of this month? Why did you change it?”

“I feel that it’s too much work to have the procedures twice,” Rayna said. “Let’s skip the engagement part and get married straight.”

Every time she lay in bed at night, she felt empty and lonely. She didn’t know what exactly she wanted, nor did she understand her feelings toward Jefferson.

So she thought of getting wed to Jefferson as soon as possible. If it was delayed for too long, she might waver even more.

Rayna spared him a glance. “Why? You don’t want to marry me?”

How is that possible? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Jefferson had been dreaming of marrying her over the years. It just didn’t seem real that his dream was coming true.

When he thought of how she talked about getting married to him in front of the reporters, he couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. Leaning closer, he kissed her. “I want to do it so much, Belle. I love you.”

“We’re still at the office. Surveillance cameras are everywhere.” Rayna pushed his face away. “Mind your image!”

“All right.” Jefferson chuckled and drew himself slightly further away from her. Nevertheless, he was still holding her tightly. “I don’t think I can sleep tonight. What should I do?”

Rayna was stunned for a moment. After understanding what he meant by that, she was speechless.

She was about to get married to Jefferson soon and begin a new life. She was supposed to be happy, but she did not feel any hint of excitement. She was still feeling empty inside.

She had gotten the man who loved her and the life she wanted. Why am I still dissatisfied?

The new product of Glory was attention-grabbing. Hence, a lot of people were interested in it.

After the press conference at Glory, Rayna got on the trending list on Twitter an hour later.

The news about her tying the knot with the CEO of Glory was everywhere.

So there wasn’t a need for Curtis to check on it purposely. He got to know about it through his connections in the media industry.

He got on Twitter and saw the news about them, including the part of the live stream where Rayna happily showed her pink diamond to the reporters.

It was so big and brilliant that one could get mesmerized by it at first sight.

Staring at the diamond, Curtis slowly furrowed his brows. He felt that he had seen that piece of jewelry before.

He immediately took out his phone and clicked on his gallery.

The diamond in his photo album was exactly the same as the one on Rayna’s finger.

Curtis looked for the number that called him that afternoon.

“This is the Cartier store,” someone said politely on the other end of the line as soon as the call was connected. “Mr. Faymon, what’s the matter?”
