Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 54

Chapter 54 Apologize

Curtis took a glance at Rayna.

In just a few seconds, he seemed to understand something, and his eyes turned gloomy. “Thanks. You go out first.”

“Yes.” Rayna lowered her head and walked out. After she closed the door of the conference room, she slumped against the door and took a deep breath.

Thank god. I made it!

Soon, Kristie rushed over too. Noticing that Rayna was still holding documents in her hands, she was fed up. “Didn’t you say that you want to deliver documents to Curt? Why are you still standing here?”

“This is the document with errors. I’ve replaced it.” Rayna saw the lounge chair next to the conference room. She walked over to sit down and quickly flipped through the contract.

Her expression turned serious when she saw the errors.

The secretarial department translated the contract without amending the errors.

How could this be? The people in the secretarial department are all top performers. The translation department won’t even make such a mistake. It’s impossible that the secretarial department did not notice those issues during the translation.

“Hey, why do you look like that?” asked Kristie. She leaned over to look at the contract but later found it troublesome. Hence, she directly grabbed the contract from Rayna’s hands.

Rayna was speechless at her action.

After reading the contract, Kristie was shocked. She turned to look at Rayna and asked, “The quantity and the contract sum don’t tally. Am I right?”

“Yes, you’re right.”

“Oh…” Kristie stared at the document in her hands and stomped her feet. “D*mn! These people want to use Faymon Group to do money laundering!”

If this contract was signed, the funds would be transferred to Faymon Group’s account, and the company under Faymon Group would deliver the goods. However, the number of goods in the contract was wrong.

When the goods were loaded onto the ship, another person could transfer the excess goods and prepare another contract. Then, the large sum of money would be transferred into a private account, and it would be impossible to trace.

Rayna said, “It was the secretarial department that prepared this contract.”

“No wonder.” Kristie had been by Curtis’ side for a long time, and she knew a lot of things. She wanted to tell Rayna at first, but she decided not to say it in the end. “Forget it. I shouldn’t talk about these with an outsider!”

Rayna was speechless.

After an hour, Curtis finally came out of the conference room. They exchanged smiles and shook hands politely. Gabriel was then asked to take the other party to the restaurant downstairs for lunch.

After Gabriel led the people away, Curtis pulled his tie. Apparently, he did not feel comfortable being restrained by the tie. He glanced at Kristie. “Why are you here too?”

“I met Ms. Garland on the way. I saw she was in a hurry to deliver documents to you, so I gave her a ride,” said Kristie coyly while holding Curtis’ hand.

Rayna chuckled.

Why didn’t you tell Curtis how you bullied me just now?

“Then I should thank you too!” Curtis stroked Kristie’s hair and said to Rayna, “Ms. Garland, let me buy you lunch to express my gratitude.”

“Mr. Faymon, there’s no need for that.” Rayna felt that this was what an employee should do.

Before she told Curtis she wanted to return to the company, Kristie grabbed her arm and said, “Please don’t turn down Curt’s invitation. Let’s go!”

Then, Kristie leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, “But I won’t let you and Curt get along alone!”

Rayna heaved a sigh.

Isn’t it better to let me go back to the office?

They came to the hotel restaurant which was huge and could accommodate thousands of people. Kristie found a seat by the window and sat next to Curtis. She kept giving Rayna a provocative look, but Rayna completely ignored her.

“When did you find out that there’s something wrong with the contract?” Curtis asked Rayna.

“This morning. Mr. Lawson was away, so he asked me to amend the contract and send it over quickly. Luckily, I made it on time,” Rayna explained the whole situation to Curtis.

After she finished speaking, Rayna glanced at Curtis quietly.

After coming out of the conference room, Curtis’ expression had been gloomy. It was obvious that he was annoyed by the issue with the contract.

Rayna was so curious about what happened. However, Kristie was reluctant to say it. She supposed Curtis would not say it too.

“Curt, why don’t I go to Faymon Group to work for you? You’re going to stay abroad for a long time, and Mr. Tylinski will definitely follow you. I am tired of acting all the time. I can help you with a lot of things! I’m smart!” said Kristie while holding and swaying Curtis’ arm.

“You’re only good at having fun and not cut out to do serious work. You’ll only create trouble at Faymon Group. So please stay with your film crew,” said Curtis.

Kristie pouted unhappily, “Am I really that terrible?”

Curtis did not say anything further. He poured a glass of red wine and handed it to Kristie. “Since Ms. Garland is here today, I think you should apologize to her.”

“I’ve written one hundred apology letters. Why do I still need to apologize to her? I haven’t settled the score with her on how she slapped me on my face!” Kristie folded her arms and looked displeased.

“Kristie, do you know that you almost broke her leg?” Curtis’ voice was commanding.

Kristie bit her lip and took over the wine glass unwillingly.

“I’m sorry! But you’ve slapped me too. So we’re even now!” Kristie quickly touched Rayna’s wine glass on the table with hers.

“No manners! Stand up!” said Curtis coldly.

“Okay!” Kristie pouted, but she dared not disobey Curtis. She stood up slowly and glared at Rayna.

Kristie raised her wine glass and articulated each word clearly, “Ms. Garland, I’m sorry!”

Rayna was bewildered.

She thought that matter was over. She did not expect Curtis would ask Kristie to apologize to her face to face. This was the third time she witnessed Curtis being so harsh to Kristie.

It felt as though he was protecting her.

When Rayna lowered her head, her eyes met with Curtis’. His eyes were cold, and her heart skipped a beat. She quickly withdrew her gaze.

Rayna stood up with her wine glass and touched Kristie’s glass. “I hope you can behave well in the future because not everyone is as nice as me.”

Kristie shot her a furious glance.

“Kristie, do you remember what Ms. Garland said?” asked Curtis.

“Yes, I do!” After sitting down, Kristie held Curtis’ arm again and acted cute. “Curt, I’m feeling a little dizzy. Can you send me back to the film crew?”

“Go back yourself.” NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“I’m not willing well. I can’t walk. I have apologized to her. What else do you want me to do? You don’t love me anymore. If you don’t send me, I’m not going anywhere today!” said Kristie, feeling aggrieved.

Curtis rubbed his eyebrows and put down the knife and fork in his hands eventually. “I’m sorry, Ms. Garland. Please enjoy your meal, and I’ll get Gabriel to send you back.”

“It’s okay. I can go back myself. It’s not hard to hail a cab at this hour,” said Rayna.

“All right then. Take care, Ms. Garland.”

Curtis picked up his jacket and Kristie walked away with him happily. She even turned around to make a funny face at Rayna.
