Dear Sweetheart Chapter 60 A Listening Device
“Yeah, the myocardial infarction was caused by overworking,” explained Curtis with a deadpan expression. “The company will compensate Mr. Lawson with a sum that is enough for his daughter to finish university.”
Thinking about the contract with the loophole, Rayna was convinced that things were not as simple as they seemed. However, she did not know much about the matter or how to tell Curtis about it.
“Edith is the acting supervisor of your department, isn’t she?” inquired Curtis calmly.
To that, Rayna nodded in response.
“Nobody informed me about it. They just assigned her the position,” scoffed Curtis, whose face turned even grimmer. We just lost someone in the upper management, and some people are already losing their nerves.
“Edith is indeed very capable. In fact, she’s one of the oldest employees in the translation department.” Rayna spoke the truth. Even though Edith’s social skills were questionable, her capability was undeniable.
“Your supervisor should’ve told you. Edith belongs to Mr. Grant, who’s already placed several of his people in other departments, so there’s no way I will promote her,” responded Curtis solemnly.
Rayna simply listened and did not speak. Sometimes, the conflicts at the top management are worse than the ones at the bottom. Even though the vice CEOs all work for the same company, they’ve formed different factions. I guess that can’t be helped. Mr. Fayman is too busy expanding the business in other parts of the world to do anything about it.
“After we’re done discussing the contract, I’ll be stationed in Chanaea. Somebody else will oversee the Norham branch,” informed Curtis. “Your supervisor mentioned you several times when we were dining together.”
It was not just Jonathan but Curtis too noticed that Rayna was a talent when she helped out at the mansion. The woman was not only efficient but also dependable.
“I’m not interested in the position, Mr. Faymon,” stated Rayna in a lowered voice. She would have fought for the position if she had the ambition. Instead, she had suspicions about Jonathan’s death.
Work was hectic in the translation department as a translator would sometimes be required to work in the middle of the night. Still, Rayna thought something seem off when she heard that Jonathan’s myocardial infarction was due to him staying up late.
“Your supervisor had high expectations of you, so you should consider.” Curtis decided not to keep pushing Rayna. “We have to stay in Tyrandas for a while, so we’ll deal with these matters when we get back.”

“Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”
Tyrandas was situated right in the middle of Epea and Aploth. Thus, it had the world’s fastest economic development. Even though the country was full of exotic cultures, it was not as beautiful as described in words.
Other than those in main cities like Irethiel and Illianor, the locals did not appreciate foreign visitors. Hence, tourists dared not roam around freely in the country.
The two arrived at the Machika Park Hotel in Irethiel.
Since there were not a lot of guests at the hotel, it did not take long for the receptionist to get them checked in. An attendant asked Curtis if the man needed him to show him around, but Curtis said no.
“I feel like I’ve seen this hotel somewhere before.” Rayna furrowed her eyebrows as they took the elevator.
Curtis glanced at the woman. “You’ve been to Irethiel?”
“No. This hotel just feels familiar to me.” Suddenly, Rayna’s head shot up before she exclaimed, “I remember now! One of Daniel Craig’s Bond movies was filmed here!”
“I didn’t take you for someone who likes action movies,” teased Curtis. “You and Kristie are very much alike. She looks like someone who enjoys animated films but is actually a fan of horror movies.”
Rayna could not help but pursed her lips when the man mentioned Kristie. “Mr. Faymon, you seem close with Ms. Winton. Are you two dating?”
“What makes you think we’re dating?”
“From her attitude.” Rayna’s lips twitched slightly when she thought about how Kristie looked at her. “No matter what I tell her, she keeps treating me as if I’m her rival.”
In response to that, Curtis smirked. “She gets jealous easily whenever the person she likes is involved. However, we’re not dating. I simply want to treat her like a princess.”
Rayna did not understand what that meant. Why would he treat Kristie like a princess if he didn’t have feelings for her? The woman’s probably going to shout for joy if she heard that.
“Huh?” Curtis suddenly frowned as though he had noticed something strange about Rayna. Then, the man got so close to Rayna that she almost backed away.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Faymon?”
After Curtis gestured to her, Rayna immediately stopped talking and watched as the man reached out for her sleeve.
Curtis then withdrew his hand before opening it to reveal a listening device.
“Jefferson’s probably responsible for this,” stated Curtis only after destroying the device.
“He’s so immature,” remarked Rayna coldly. Even though she did not expect Jefferson to plant a listening device on her, she guessed the man only did it because of business.
When the elevator finally reached the designated floor, Curtis handed Rayna a keycard, held firmly between his slender but strong fingers. “Don’t worry. I’m just next door. Get some rest first, and I’ll get you when it’s time for dinner.”
“Okay,” responded Rayna before taking the keycard.
Like the country they were in, the design of the hotel room was rather exotic. Even though Rayna wanted to take a bath in the large bathtub, she did not do so because she had no fresh clothes.
As soon as Rayna turned on the roaming feature on her phone, countless WhatsApp messages popped up. No one was more worried about Rayna than Jessica, who asked if the woman had been abducted by aliens.
