His Precious Love
Chapter 89

Chapter 89 He Called Me Babe

On the way back to the city, Rayna got to know through her chat with Gabriel that, a few days ago, Curtis had instructed him to buy a factory for the villagers to stay in.

"He bought a factory? Isn't that a bit too much?" Rayna asked.

"It isn't. When we came to Tyrandas two years ago, Mr. Faymon was already thinking of buying that factory," Gabriel shared before continuing, "Having a factory would make it easier for Faymon Group to set up a branch here. It was just an unexpected surprise that we were able to use it to help the villagers as well. The school is located pretty close to the factory, so it would be convenient for the kids to go to school."

"I see," Rayna replied briefly.

She thought that Curtis had specially purchased a factory for the villagers, but it turned out to be her wishful thinking. However, it made sense for a businessman to think in terms of profits and gains. Besides, it turned out well for the villagers to be under the Faymon Group's protection.

As the woman recalled that night when Curtis was drunk, her heart skipped a beat. Testing waters, she asked, "Mr. Tylinski, you've been working for Mr. Faymon for a long time. Do you know if there's anything wrong with his health?"

After thinking about it for a second, Gabriel replied, "No. Mr. Faymon goes to the hospital for a health checkup every three months. He's very healthy."

"Are you sure?" Rayna had a doubtful expression on her face as it did not seem to her that Curtis was putting up a pretense that night. "How about allergies? For example, is he allergic to alcohol?" "Alcohol..." After a brief moment of contemplation, Gabriel seemed to have remembered something. "That's right. Mr. Faymon has a low alcohol tolerance. It's a problem if he drinks too much." "What problem?" Rayna questioned further.

Gabriel cleared his throat before answering, "Mr. Faymon would become very obedient and would do anything others asked him to do. That's why I would always make sure I'm with him whenever he goes drinking. I'm worried that he might get into trouble."

After saying that, he turned to look at the woman and asked, "Ms. Garland, did Mr. Faymon drink?"

Rayna nodded.

"Did he do anything after he drank?"

"Umm... No." Rayna decided that it was best not to tell Gabriel about their kiss under the stars. "Like what you said, he was just really obedient and followed me wherever I went. He... He had even called me Darling..."

"Oh, that's just normal." Although it was not easy for the woman to say those words, Gabriel did not think it was a big deal. "Mr. Faymon tends to spout nonsense after drinking too much alcohol. He had even called me babe when he was drunk previously!"

"B-Babe?" Rayna widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Yeah! I was also stunned when I heard that and took Mr. Faymon to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor told us that some people tend to be in a dream state when they have an allergic reaction. During that time, they would only remember certain things that happened earlier. I found out that Mr. Faymon had watched a movie at home the night before he drank. The lead actor had a cousin whom he called babe. I guess that character had left a deep impression on Mr. Faymon, and that was why he ended up calling me babe when he was drunk."

"But that character is a female, and you are..." Rayna sized Gabriel up and continued, "You don't look like a woman to me. Then, why would Mr. Faymon call me Farling?"

Gabriel shrugged and replied, "Beats me. Maybe it's because you're pretty?"

The factory named "Apexi" was located to the north of the city. It was very clean and much bigger than Rayna had expected. After passing by the courtyard, there was a stand-alone dorm and a cafeteria located at the back of the factory.

Rayna took the kids to the cafeteria for lunch.

As they were used to eating wild game when they were living in the village, the children were delighted to see a sumptuous spread of dishes and ate to their satisfaction.

Later that afternoon, Rayna took the kids out shopping.

Being in a foreign city and walking along a crowded street filled with skyscrapers, the children were curious about everything they saw. They followed Rayna from store to store and emerged with bags of purchases. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Rayna knew that she would not be there for long. Hence, after getting the teaching materials, she headed back to the factory with the children and started teaching them Tyrandasian, starting with the vowels. The children listened attentively and were very serious about learning.

Compared to the more commonly used Anglandurn or Ferropenian, Tyrandasian was easier to learn as the pronunciation of the words was more straightforward. Moreover, as the kids were used to speaking Uronian, which was similar to Tyrandasian, the new language was rather easy for them to pick up. In fact, it only took them one night to finish learning the basics.

It was already past midnight, and Rayna was still going through the children's assignments. They were progressing faster than she had expected. It would not take more than a week before they could start attending school and interact with the other students with ease.

A while later, Rayna was so tired that she dozed off at her desk while marking the papers.

At the break of dawn, the metal gates of the factory opened, and a bus drove into the factory before stopping in front of the dorm. The village chief and the other villagers alighted from the bus.

The villagers and their families had lived in the tiny village for generations. As they did not speak any other languages, very few of them had ever ventured outside. When they saw the building in front of them, they were dumbfounded.

Gabriel, who did not speak Uronian, asked, "Mr. Faymon, should we get Ms. Garland here?"

"Prepare some food at the cafeteria, and let them have breakfast first. They haven't eaten anything yet," Curtis instructed before continuing, "Let her sleep a while more. At least wait till the sun is up."

"Understand."

Gabriel showed Curtis to his room before he tried to communicate with the village chief using hand gestures. After a while, he finally managed to take the group of fifty people to the cafeteria. The facilities in the dorm were rather decent, except that the bathrooms were shared. Curtis could no longer tolerate the dye on his body and headed to the bathroom on the third floor to shower. Even though the lights were not turned on in the communal shower area, Curtis could hear the sound of water, and it seemed like someone was showering.

He tried to turn on the lights, but the switch did not seem to be working. Fortunately, there was a window that allowed some light to pass through, which was enough for the man to make his way around. Curtis hesitated for a moment but still decided to enter the shower area as he could no longer stand the smell of the dye on his body. He headed into the nearest cubicle and turned on the shower. At the same time, Rayna was showering in another cubicle six cubicles away from Curtis.

She had accidentally switched off the fan while sleeping at her desk the night before and woke up drenched in sweat at five-thirty in the morning. As such, she went for a morning shower in order to feel refreshed.

After getting a hot shower, Rayna felt much more relaxed. She wrapped herself in a towel before walking out of the cubicle.

She had left her clothes in the locker outside.

When she left her cubicle, she spotted a figure walking out from another cubicle that was closer to the entrance. Judging by the person's tall stature, she reckoned it did not seem like a woman. Rayna stiffened immediately and said in Anglandurn, "Umm... Hi. Did you enter the wrong room?"

Before Rayna entered the room, she had taken a clear look at the sign outside and made sure it was the female communal shower. Hence, it was likely that the other party was in the wrong place. After hearing her voice, the person turned around at once. When he saw Rayna, he froze for a few seconds before a crease appeared between his brows. "Ms. Garland?"

"Oh my goodness!" After looking closely at the man's face, Rayna ran her hand down her face and said with her lips twitching, "Mr. Faymon, didn't you see the huge sign outside that says 'Ladies'?" With an awkward expression on his face, Curtis replied, "I didn't notice, as it was too dark just now."

Rayna was completely speechless.

Just then, the joyful laughter of girls was heard coming from outside. It sounded like there were three to four girls. Curtis and Rayna exchanged glances, not knowing what to do next.

The situation had become even more awkward.

Curtis was the first to snap out of his shock. He remained calm as he approached Rayna before pulling her into one of the cubicles and drawing the curtains. The next moment, the girls entered the room.
