Chapter 148 Lost His Composure
Curtis shot a cold glance at Wyatt. “Rayna is my subordinate. Her being bullied would be equivalent to me being trampled on. In that case, shouldn’t I speak up for her? Why are you being nosy?”
“Well, except for the board of directors, who in Faymon Group isn’t your subordinate?” the latter retorted with a grin. “I’ve never seen you help anyone when they are bullied!”
At that, Curtis grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into Wyatt’s mouth. “Shut up! Contact Mr. Snyder later! Got it?”
Since Wyatt’s mouth was filled with food, he could not verbalize an answer. All he could do was nod in response.
Jeremy shook his head and uttered regretfully, “Mr. Hunt has worked with Curtis quite a few times, yet he failed to figure out Curtis’ intentions and rejected such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
“I still think that our plan is perfect and flawless.” Wyatt managed to swallow the popcorn in his mouth and continued, “If I hadn’t been involved in this, I would have thought that Faymon Group was going to collapse judging from this situation.”
Jeremy cast a glance at Curtis and wore a gentle smile. “Now I can fathom why people always say a man will go to great lengths for a beauty.”
“I can understand it, too, now.” Wyatt’s face broke into a grin, and he added, “I genuinely thought Curtis had no interest in women, and I’ve even planned to go under the knife if things are still not working out with him. Tsk, tsk! It turns out it’s because he didn’t meet the right woman.”
“You can go for surgery now. I need a woman.”
“Jeremy, are you for real?”
The smile on Jeremy’s face remained unchanged. “I can perform it on you, perhaps. You are aware of my skills, after all.”
“I can’t believe you’ve been having funny ideas about me, Jeremy.” Wyatt’s face twitched as he leaned closer to Theodore. “I won’t love you. Just give up!”
The men could talk about anything during their gathering. It was a lively and heartwarming scene to behold. Relaxed smiles were seen appearing on both Theodore’s and Curtis’ faces.
After joking around for some time, Wyatt lamented, “Say, Norwal City isn’t huge, but why can’t I meet the girl again even though I stroll in front of the hospital entrance every day? Is there something wrong with my waiting posture?”
Curtis took a sip of coffee before asking, “Love at first sight again?”
“It’s the ninety-eighth love at first sight,” Jeremy chimed in. With a look of disdain on his face, he said to Wyatt, “I don’t think you should ruin her life. She looks so young. Who knows? She could still be underage.”
“So what? I can wait!” Wyatt sat up straight and declared, “I’m serious this time. The moment I met her gaze, the idea of marrying her struck me.”
Everyone was rendered speechless by his statement.
Instantly, silence enshrouded the room. They all fixed their gazes on Wyatt, regarding him as a crazy man.
“What the hell! I’m serious. What kind of expression is that?” Wyatt grumbled in annoyance.
Jeremy merely sneered. “You say that every time you meet a woman whom you fall in love with at first sight. If you had made a move each time, the number of times you get married might’ve been recorded in the Guinness World Records.”
“But my feeling this time is different than before.” Wyatt wanted to explain further but was unable to describe that feeling. He then nudged Curtis’ arm. “Curtis, aren’t you getting married soon? You surely have stronger feelings than me.”
Theodore, who had remained silent, suddenly tightened his grip on the wine glass.
He exerted such a great force that countless cracks started appearing silently on the glass. However, none of them noticed that.
Wyatt let out a shout. While getting some tissues for Theodore, he exclaimed in anguish, “Hey man, I specially brought this custom-made wine glass over for you. Why did you shatter it? D*mn it! It’s thirteen thousand per piece!”
Jeremy asked with a grin, “Theodore, are you thinking about something? You even lost control of your strength.”
“Nothing. This wine glass is too thin. It broke when I merely gave it a light squeeze,” Theodore replied indifferently. His gaze remained unfazed.
“How’s that possible? This is expensive. It’s not easy to break.” With that, Wyatt picked one up and began to gather his strength in his palm. However, there was not even a single crack in the wine glass.
After catching his breath, he remarked with certainty, “Theodore, you must have thought of your goddess of the hunt earlier, which is why you lost your composure and broke the wine glass.”
Curtis asked, “What goddess of the hunt?”
“There’s a string of Anglandurn letters tattooed on the inner side of Theodore’s ringed finger.” Wyatt pointed at Theodore’s finger as he spoke. With a smirk, he added, “Curtis, you are also aware that the special forces Theodore used to be in are very strict, but unexpectedly, he got a tattoo in Anglandurn letters on his finger. It’s obvious that there is a story behind it.”
“Why have I never heard about this before, Theodore?” Curtis flashed Theodore a grin.
“It’s just an Anglandurn name. There is nothing strange about that.” Theodore got up from the couch and continued, “Carry on without me. I need to go home to deal with something.”
Jeremy responded, “Let Wyatt get a manager to drive you home.”
“It’s okay. Someone is coming to pick me up.” Theodore then strode out without looking back.
When he reached the door, he turned around and spoke to Curtis. “Ms. Sanders is indeed a pretty good person. Curtis, call me if you need my help.”
