His Precious Love

This stunned Marcus for a moment.

He had heard about Rayna being a mere senior interpreter. The fields of translation and finance could not be more different. One could not be good at finance just by dabbling in it. Such skills, like any other, had to be honed over time.

However, he could not sense any apprehension from this woman. If anything, she shone.

Is she a natural, or did someone coach her?

The failed negotiations with Marcus did not make Rayna angry. When she went to the private lounge to seek out Marcus, she could already tell from his general demeanor and tone of voice that negotiations were off the table.

Rayna was merely disgusted by what the man had proposed.

When Rayna strode into the banquet hall, she quickly spotted Jefferson. She was just thinking of approaching him, but her sharp eyes also noticed that Arnaud was standing in front of him. Immediately, Rayna left the area.

If Rayna approached Jefferson now, then Arnaud would have noticed her. It would be difficult for her to get away.

As Rayna rode the elevator down, she decided to give Ringo a call.

After the call was connected, Rayna’s voice dropped into a whisper as she said, “I didn’t manage to secure a deal with Marcus. You should bring his mistress over and find a way to get Marcus’ wife to leave. I’m going to the concierge now to get a keycard.”

Ringo replied, “I’ll let you know when I’ve accessed the hotel’s system.”

“Okay.”

Since Rayna was also worried that tonight’s negotiations might fail, she asked Ringo to look into Marcus in advance. She needed to know what he was doing in private as well as details on the agreement he signed with his wife.

If the negotiations went bust, Ringo could then bring Marcus’ mistress over and make his wife disappear for a bit. Marcus was not one to miss out on a rendezvous with his lover, after all.

Rayna deliberately dawdled by the elevator door for a while.

The moment Ringo sent her a message, she immediately walked toward reception and spoke to a beautiful blonde woman. “My head hurts a little. Would you mind helping me book a suite?’
