Chapter 131: Chapter 131

Dear Sweetheart Chapter 131 Alfred As A Salesperson Perhaps Rayna was too intimidating, for Kristie was shocked senseless. She stammered for some time but couldn’t form a complete sentence. Seeing that, Rayna refused to waste time talking to her and left.

Kristie only regained her senses when Rayna’s car disappeared from sight. Recalling how she was frightened by Rayna, she screamed and stomped her feet in frustration.

I wanted to assert my dominance over Rayna. Why did I end up being bullied by her? This is outrageous!

Under Rayna’s orders, a few reporters released news regarding Romeo Wilde from Fennbridge. In just a few hours, it created an uproar online.

Before Fennbridge’s Public Relations Department could contact the reporters to suppress the news, the government officials showed up at Fennbridge to arrest Romeo. The reporters snapped photos of him getting taken away outside the building, causing Fennbridge to be pushed to the eye of the storm. As a result, Fennbridge’s share prices dropped drastically and hit their limit down on the third day.

After the public focused their attention on Fennbridge’s matter, Faymon Group made a silent exit. The higher-ups flew to a small county to participate in charity events to stabilize their share prices.

Perhaps Kristie realized that Faymon Group was more important after getting chided by Rayna that night. When she was promoting her new film, she announced that she would participate in filming a documentary about children growing up in the mountains without receiving any pay. Her team took the chance to publicize the fact that she donated millions to construct schools in a few mountainous areas.

Kristie earned herself many fans due to her beauty, and coupled with the news, more people grew fond of her. Some rich fans even bought Faymon Group’s shares to support her.

With the help of the outside world, Faymon Group’s shares finally stabilized and increased gradually.

Rayna was as busy as a bee recently after what happened to Faymon Group. Besides dealing with the matter, she also had to comfort the restless shareholders.

She could finally heave a sigh of relief when Faymon Group’s share prices stabilized. Slumping into her chair, she scrolled through Twitter and saw the video Kristie shot to promote her movie.

Fortunately, Kristie was smart enough to use her fan group and her identity as an actress to help Faymon Group.

Recalling how Kristie offered her a check that night, Rayna couldn’t help but regret her actions of tearing the check.

It doesn’t matter who Kristie was referring to when she mentioned “boyfriend.” I would know if I had a boyfriend. Why did I rip that check apart? I must’ve gone nuts!

“Hmm?” Rayna noticed a familiar figure in a video and sat up in her chair. She played the video backward and paused it to get a closer look.

The video was posted by the official account, so it was pretty HD. The man was wearing a cap and mask, but his figure and half of his face that was revealed resembled James.

Why would James go there?

Rayna couldn’t enlarge the video so she squinted her eyes to get a better look. Right then, someone knocked on the door.

“Ms. Garland, are you busy?”

Rayna lifted her head hastily to see Alfred standing at the door. She quickly placed her phone aside and got up to welcome him.

“Old Mr. Faymon, just call me Rayna. Have a seat.”

She offered her comfortable seat to him.

However, Alfred waved his hands and sat on a wicker chair across from her. He placed the thermal jar he was holding on the table and greeted her warmly, “Hello. Are you busy with work recently?”

“Yes, everyone’s busy!” Rayna flashed a smile. “The PR department is the busiest of us all. Ms. Winton also contributed to helping to quell the crisis.”

Alfred nodded. “Kristie is usually spoiled, and I didn’t expect her to be so sensible. She did a good job. However, you’re the one who contributed the most.”

After a pause, he added, “I know you also have to deal with the shareholders other than matters at work. It’s not easy being the acting CEO. Thank you for your hard work.”

Ever since Rayna started working, she experienced all sorts of conflicts at work. Jonathan used to be the only one who cared about her, but now there was also Alfred. Warmth spread in her heart, and she no longer felt exhausted.

“Come, have some chicken soup.” Alfred unscrewed the cap of the thermal jug and said happily, “Our cook makes great soup.

Curtis loves chicken soup. He’ll have at least two bowls whenever he comes home.”

“Thank you. Oh, you can sit down. I can do it myself.” Alfred came all the way here, so Rayna didn’t reject his offer and took the bowl from him.

The chicken soup was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderful.

Rayna’s eyes lit up after she took a sip. “Oh, it’s delicious. Thank you, Old Mr. Faymon, for bringing me some home-cooked food,” she said gratefully.

“Oh, it’s nothing much.” Alfred gave a dismissive wave. He gazed at her affectionately as though she was his child. “If you like it, I can send the cook to Faymon Group. Your department has a designated chef, so others won’t say anything about it.”

“Thank you for the offer, but I don’t need it,” Rayna responded with a smile. “Mr. Faymon hired chefs from five-star hotels who can cook equally well.”

Hearing that, Alfred stopped insisting.

They chatted briefly and soon mentioned the day they had stew. Alfred sighed. “I should’ve come to Faymon Group ages ago.

Perhaps I might recognize you earlier. I had no idea you’re working at Faymon Group, and that Curtis trusts you a lot.”

Rayna felt a little embarrassed to hear that.

After all, she was once married to Julian and didn’t know Alfred was Curtis’ father.

Suddenly, Alfred asked, “Young lady, do you like Curtis?”

Rayna instantly choked on her soup. She grabbed two pieces of tissue to wipe the corner of her mouth as the tips of her ears turned red in embarrassment. “O-Old Mr. Faymon, I respect Mr. Faymon a lot.”

“Just respect? Don’t you like him?” Alfred refused to give up.

Rayna nodded awkwardly. “I’m grateful that Mr. Faymon trusts me, but he’s my employer, and I’m his subordinate. That’s all. Mr.

Faymon has good taste, for Ms. Sanders is sweet and pretty.”

Alfred would be lying if he said he wasn’t disappointed to hear her answer.

Jasmine was nice. She was filial and often visited him, but he wasn’t really fond of her. His ideal daughter-in-law candidate was Rayna, for she was confident and smart.

Oh, what a pity.

Alfred didn’t stay for long, as the hospital called and summoned him for a checkup. Rayna saw him to the door and arranged for Naomi to bring him to the hospital.

“Young lady, you should consider him,” Alfred said before he left, refusing to give up. “My son is a good choice. He’s good-

looking, doesn’t have any bad habits, and is pretty rich.”

Rayna wisely remained silent.

“Curtis is five to six years older than you, but he’s a mature man who doesn’t need any training. He’s so much better than Julian, so I promise he won’t break your heart.”

Rayna forced out a smile. “Okay. Naomi will bring you to the hospital.”

After Naomi led Alfred out, Rayna returned to her office. She spun on her heels so quickly that she didn’t notice Naomi turning over her shoulder to give her an amused look.

Curtis is an eligible bachelor, so women would throw themselves at his feet. Why is Old Mr. Faymon worried that he can’t find a wife and keeps promoting him like a salesperson promoting a product? What an adorable and cheerful old man.
