His Precious Love

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 This Cocktail Reception Is So Posh

As Gabriel spoke, he uncapped the thermos flask.

Inside the flask was the sweet soup. Its fragrance wafted through the air, and Gabriel also caught a whiff of it. He explained, “It’s from Ms. Garland. She said it’s a thank-you gift.”

“Sweet soup as a gift? How practical.” Gazing at the pink thermos flask, Curtis had trouble containing a smile. He pulled his empty coffee cup toward him and poured the soup into it.

Then, he took a sip. It was warm and sweet.

Taking in the aroma, Gabriel could not help saying, “Mr. Faymon, that’s too sweet for you. Would you like me to take it away and order something else for you?”

Curtis shot him a frosty look. “No need for that. Get back to work.”

Gabriel fell silent immediately.

At a little after four o’clock in the afternoon, Gabriel made a trip to the translation department to return the clean thermos flask to Rayna. “Here you go, Ms. Garland.”

“Oh, you shouldn’t have. You could’ve told me to go and get it. There was no need for you to return it personally,” Rayna replied, smiling.

“I happened to have to go downstairs and get something.” He reassured her that it was no trouble and was about to leave when he hesitated for a while. Finally, he walked back to Rayna and asked, “Ms. Garland, could you make some for me next time?”

“Oh, do you like to eat sweet things too? Of course. The next time my mother makes it, I’ll bring some for you,” Rayna replied. She had thought Gabriel would not have a sweet tooth.

“Your mother is great at cooking,” Gabriel complimented.

“She used to cook for others.”

“Ah, no wonder.”

For some reason, Gabriel and Rayna fell into a conversation. The longer they chatted, the more the pair got along like a house on fire.

She discovered that despite his aloof demeanor and usually serious expression due to the nature of his job, he was actually a big softie. He even had a cat and a dog as pets.

After talking for a while, she asked him cautiously, “Mr. Faymon has been coming to the office rather often recently. Is everything okay?”

Gabriel knew she was discreetly enquiring about the company’s matters. “Everything is fine. You only have to focus on your job. Even if something does happen, the upper management will handle it. It won’t affect the rest of you.”
