Dear Sweetheart Chapter 255 The Phone Call
Although Mathias was in a rage, he could only hold himself back under current circumstances.
Knowing that Rayna had worked for different companies in such a short period, Mathias had wanted to use the opportunity to oppress her and stop her from working in Faymon Group. He knew that if Curtis were to cover for Rayna, the other shareholders would surely find out, and they would be displeased.
However, Mathias had not expected Curtis to acquire Hatchair Group secretly. Now that Hatchair Group had become Faymon Group’s property, it would be the snap of a finger for Rayna to be back in Faymon Group, and no one was in a position to say anything.
Mathias shot Curtis a grim look with a hint of wariness in his gaze.
It was then he realized that he had taken Curtis too lightly.
Curtis’ unexpected act had caught everyone off guard, and no one commented further.
After the meeting ended, all of them left the conference room one after another.
As soon as the crowd dispersed, Rayna stormed toward Curtis and questioned furiously, “Did you already acquire Hatchair Group since long ago? Were you the one who pulled strings for me to get accepted into Hatchair Group so easily previously?”
“Mr. Chambers begged me to acquire the company.”
“Bull—” Rayna swallowed the vulgarities before they slipped out of her mouth. Gritting her teeth, she glared at him. “Hatchair Group is quite valuable in the market. Mr. Chambers must have lost his mind to sell it!”
Hearing that, Curtis replied calmly, “Even though Faymon Group owns the shares of Hatchair Group, Hatchair Group is allowed to operate independently. Hence, Hatchair Group still belongs to Mr. Chambers, so he didn’t exactly sell it.”
“Y-You!” Rayna was so infuriated that she did not know what to say, yet she felt warm inside at the same time. “If you’re always asking others to help me, how am I supposed to learn anything?”
“I was merely getting rid of the unnecessary issues for you, but you dealt with the rest of them yourself.” Curtis then continued, “If you’re incapable, you would have had a hard time in Hatchair Group. Think about it. Mr. Chambers and the people from Hatchair Group only respect you because of your remarkable capability. Am I right?”
Rayna thought his words actually made sense.
It was true that I was accepted into Hatchair Group easily, but I didn’t slack the slightest bit because of that. In fact, I handled most of the tasks myself and solved the issues on my own.

“What about the tender for the high-speed railway station project?” Rayna placed both her hands on the chair the man was sitting on as she scrutinized him. “Many companies tendered for the project, but why did Hatchair Group get it?”
Come to think about it, everything seems odd!
Curtis chuckled in a low voice. “Weren’t you wondering why I agreed to help Jasmine?”
Rayna was stunned for a second, and everything finally clicked into place in her mind. “Did Jasmine tell you that she could let Hatchair Group win the tender, but she needed you to have a fake marriage with her so that she could get the Sanders Group shares?”
“You’re getting smarter!”
“Curtis Faymon, you’re…” Not knowing what to say, Rayna chided him instead, “Do you have nothing better to do? Because of your fake marriage with Jasmine, Mr. Xavier…”
Curtis hummed in response and looked at her suspiciously. “What’s wrong with Theodore?”
“N-Nothing!”
Of course, she could not tell Curtis the truth about how she had also misunderstood him and signed that kind of contract. It was too embarrassing for her to say, so she could only resort to changing the topic. “I thought I was going to get to see you two fight each other!”
“What goes on in your mind, really?” Curtis pinched her cheeks and said unhappily, “Have you ever seen Jasmine and I hold hands?”
He was never interested in Jasmine. If not for their collaboration, he would have stayed away from Jasmine after learning about her relationship with Theodore.
“Don’t pinch me!” Rayna slapped his hand, but he grabbed her, reducing the distance between them.
Curtis then said, “Rayna, the help I’ve given you was no big deal. You achieved all these on your own. You’re well respected by people around you only because you’re outstanding. As for the train project, Jasmine only agreed that Sanders Group would back out from the tender. Hatchair Group was awarded the project because of you and your team’s effort. It had nothing to do with me.”
“My team members are from Faymon Group, so you’re still the one helping me!” Rayna muttered.
“Why do you always have to be this stubborn?” Curtis smiled helplessly. “Would things even work out if you’re incapable even if I lent you my people from Faymon Group? You lack confidence in yourself.”
“Because I’m new in this…”
“It doesn’t matter when you joined. Besides, you’re truly talented in this field. Rayna, just do whatever you wish to do. You have nothing to fear.”
As the man convinced her, his dark eyes were filled with his confidence and support for her.
His gaze was deep yet mesmerizing.
Staring at his eyes, Rayna was almost drawn into them. Right then, the phone rang, and she hurriedly pushed him away.
Curtis took a look at his empty hands and sighed.
This d*mn phone call!
After the meeting, one of the more busybody managers revealed what had happened during the meeting, and the news spread around. Soon, everyone in Faymon Group knew that the Department of Regulators had a new manager.
To be more accurate, their previous manager had returned.
The people from the Department of Regulators had been free for too long, so as soon as they heard about Rayna’s comeback, they were all excited and waiting to greet her with a warm welcome when she returned for work the following day.
Rayna flashed a smile. “This is too much.”
“Not at all!” Touched, Jordan held Rayna’s hands and said, “Ms. Garland, we were this close to being fired by Faymon Group if you still failed to return to us!”
“All right. Let’s work!”
Rayna spent around fifteen minutes having a meeting with everyone and assigning the tasks accordingly.
