Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 91

Chapter 91 Introduce My Brother To You

Over ten hours later, the plane landed at Norwal City Airport.

Rayna dragged her luggage and walked out of the airport with Curtis. At the door, someone came to them.

“Mr. Faymon, Ms. Garland.” The lady, who greeted them, seemed like she was around twenty-four or twenty-five years old. She was dressed in a gray suit, and her hair was tied up in a clean bun—her entire being exuded a sense of shrewdness.

The woman introduced herself to Curtis. “Mr. Faymon, I am Naomi Gardner from the secretarial department. I am in charge of your schedule when Mr. Tylinski isn’t around.” She also took Curtis’ luggage from him.

Curtis hummed in acknowledgment and got into the Bentley parked by the road.

“Mr. Faymon, goodbye.” After they landed, Rayna saw Curtis taking a few calls. He seemed busy, so she assumed he was heading to his company straight away.

“You don’t have to avoid arousing suspicion. I’ll ask my secretary to give you a ride,” Curtis told her with the car door open. “The airport is a distance away from the city, and I don’t want you to travel alone.”

The secretary, Naomi, had already placed Rayna’s luggage into the trunk efficiently. Rayna could not refuse and thanked him before getting into the car.

The vehicle drove out of the airport and entered the expressway.

Naomi was reporting to Curtis about the matters at work in an unhurried manner. She didn’t even get emotional when she mentioned firing someone from the secretarial department after Jack SaundersContent bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

slapped her.

“Ms. Linnard asked Mr. Eyre from Northville out to a meal under Mr. Saunders’ orders. She got the Farmonix’s bidding documents for Mr. Saunders, who then sold it to Herald to fund his own pockets. Mr. Saunders also transferred an employee to the branch in Horington to be the sales manager there.”

Rayna could feel her temples throbbing when she heard Naomi’s report. She glanced at Curtis with her peripheral gaze and noticed he was staring at his tablet, his face devoid of expression. She couldn’t tell whether or not he had heard everything.

After talking to Jonathan at the golf course previously, Rayna learned that Edith belonged to Jack’s faction. She didn’t know Jack had so many informants in the Faymon Group.

He’s just a vice CEO without any shares, but look how arrogant he is. Imagine how audacious those who own Faymon Group’s shares can be!

The ambiance at the company had been weird recently. Rayna heard that some employees were transferred to other branches in different states. Furthermore, there was Jonathan’s matter. She could guess why Curtis came back to the country.

I’m afraid there will be turbulence in Faymon Group soon.

“Ms. Garland, we’re here.”

Rayna was still lost in thought when the man’s deep voice rang beside her suddenly.

She glanced out of the window to discover they had arrived at her residential area. Naomi was outside, helping her get her luggage out.

“Oh, okay.” Rayna quickly pushed the door open. Before getting out, she turned her shoulder to look at Curtis. Coincidentally, Curtis was also glancing at her. His legs were crossed, and he looked as calm as

ever.

When their eyes met, Curtis’ gaze turned dark as he asked, “Ms. Garland, anything else?”

“Mr. Faymon, I shall be honest with you. I came from a poor family, so my mother and sister depend on me to survive.” Rayna seemed hesitant. “You said we’ll be even after we return to the country. Are we even now?”

After a pause, she added hastily, “Back in Tyrandas, I did my best to help you. However, the accident in the village was unavoidable. You said our efforts weren’t in vain, as we managed to save six plants.”

Afraid he would reject her, she quickly tried to gain his pity. She wasn’t lying, for she did her best to help him whenever possible.

Curtis stared at her in silence.

His gaze wasn’t as sharp and indifferent as before. Seeing his gentle gaze, Rayna couldn’t stop her ears from turning red. She immediately put her guard up warily.

“M-Mr. Faymon, say something,” she urged.

Can you stop staring at me?

“Of course. I am a man of my word.” Curtis’ lips curled up slightly. “We’re even now, Ms. Garland. The three conditions I promised you still count.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” Rayna relaxed as she finally paid off her debt of gratitude.

After bidding goodbye to Curtis, she entered her condominium, not knowing someone was gazing at her intently inside the car.

Curtis only looked away when Naomi entered the car.

Displayed on his ten-inch tablet were an email sent by Gabriel half an hour ago and a piece of economic news published in Yartran. Everything pointed to one person—Jefferson Hamilton.

Curtis knew Jefferson wasn’t to be taken lightly when he failed to find out the latter’s background. Initially, he was curious why Jefferson kept badgering his ex-girlfriend as there were plenty of gorgeous socialites around him.

After spending some time with Rayna, Curtis discovered that she was smart and appealing in every way.

He could understand why Jefferson couldn’t forget her.

One could find pretty ladies from the upper-class society and entertainment industry anytime, but it was rare to find a smart and pretty woman. Besides, Rayna wasn’t ambitious at all. She would’ve climbed to greater heights if she were an ambitious woman.

“What a naïve girl.” Curtis glanced at his tablet as a smile crept up his lips.

Get even? Impossible. It is hard to find a smart and quick-thinking woman. Of course, I want her for myself. Besides, I need her for the climax later.

In the elevator, Rayna suddenly shuddered as a blast of chilliness enveloped her. After stepping out of the elevator, she was welcomed by a gust of warm air. Assuming the temperature in the elevator was too low, she didn’t pay too much attention to it.

The condominium was clean without a speck of dust in sight, so it was clear Jessica cleaned up every day. However, the refrigerator was empty.

Rayna shook her head at the sight of the empty instant noodles boxes in the dustbin. She then took a shower and headed to the supermarket to buy some groceries. It was around five in the afternoon

when she finally arrived home with a few huge shopping bags in her hands.

“Oh, Nana! you’re back!”

Rayna was about to open the door with her key when Jessica stepped out of the elevator with a box full of chips. The box seemed heavy, for she was swaying as she made her way over to the door.

Rayna was curious. “You got off work before five?”

“There wasn’t much to do today, so I got off work earlier than usual.” Jessica was touched to see Rayna’s arms laden with groceries. “You had no idea how I lived for the past few weeks. I ate instant noodles and takeaway food until I got sick of them. If you don’t come back, I will soon become a shriveled corpse.”

“I don’t think so.” Rayna took a look at the box of chips she was holding and joked, “You can survive a week with these.”

“Oh, chips won’t make me full.”

They continued joking as they entered the house.

When Rayna was cooking, Jessica didn’t idle around and helped her wash the ingredients. She couldn’t stop chattering, too. “I bumped into the young hottie on the way back home. He got a little tanned but still looks hot! I chatted with him, but he was indifferent to me.”

“If he’s indifferent, go find other young hotties!” Rayna flipped the chicken wings in her pan. “He belongs to Ms. Winton, so you’d better stay away from him.”

She didn’t want to have anything to do with that spoiled young lady.

“But he’s so handsome!” Jessica let out a sigh and asked, “Hey, when do you think Kristie will replace him?”

Rayna was amused. “You know physiognomy, right? Don’t you know?”

“Physiognomy can only tell me someone’s fortune and stuff!” Jessica huffed. “I cannot tell other stuff through one’s physiognomy. Otherwise, I would’ve earned a lot through this.”

As Jessica was frowning as though she had been dumped, Rayna chuckled and offered, “Seriously? If you want a boyfriend, I can introduce my younger brother to you.”
