Dear Sweetheart novel

“Flamboyant?” Rayna snorted. “I think Mr. Faymon quite likes her.”

Gabriel could sense the jealousy in her voice, and he knew that she must have misunderstood something. His

expression was unreadable as he explained, “Ms. Garland, you’re wrong. Mr. Faymon isn’t interested in her. Glory

borrowed manpower from Faymon Group and signed a contract, right? Kelly is considered part of Faymon Group.

We don’t want to pass up an opportunity to earn money, so of course we will look after Glory.” He paused before

speaking in a measured, slow tone. “I’m sure you know why Mr. Faymon did that.”

Rayna wasn’t a fool. She quickly understood the underlying meaning of Gabriel’s words and stiffened in shock.

She had assumed Curtis’ taste had changed, which was why he became fond of Kelly and surreptitiously gave her

those resources. However, it turned out she was wrong, as he had done everything for her.

How could I be such a fool? It’s impossible to get a popular rookie celebrity to shoot a video for a mere pay of three

million. Someone must’ve done something behind my back.

Rayna relaxed and muttered, “So he has no other lovers?”

“Ms. Garland, what was that?” Gabriel inched over, as he didn’t hear Rayna clearly.

“Oh, nothing.” Rayna was suddenly in a good mood. She handed him the lunch boxes she had prepared and said,

“Here you go. I cooked grilled pork and some soup. Bring them back…” She trailed off and changed her mind.

“There’s a lot, so tell Mr. Faymon to share the food with Carl.”

Gabriel suddenly felt hungry. “Ms. Garland, did you prepare my share?”

“Yeah.”

Gabriel was about to break into a smile when he thought about the grilled pork he could get when Rayna continued,

“It depends on whether Mr. Faymon is willing to share the food with you.”

Gabriel was bereft of words. Ha! It’s obvious Mr. Faymon will just roll his eyes at me.

Before leaving, Gabriel recalled something and asked tentatively, “Ms. Garland, the new CEO of Glory’s branch

company is Jefferson Hamilton, right? Why isn’t he here yet?”

Rayna thought he had already found out about the matter and replied casually, “He’s busy and won’t be arriving in

Norwal City until much later.”

I knew it!

Gabriel didn’t ask any more questions. He bade Rayna goodbye and left with the lunch boxes.

On his way back to Faymon Group, he couldn’t help but wonder why word got out when he had made sure to deal

with it carefully. He went through all the possible suspects.

Besides Kelly and her manager, Mr. Faymon, Tilly, and I are the only ones in Faymon Group who know about this.

Kelly isn’t foolish enough to keep clinging to Mr. Faymon after the sheer amount of resources she got. Tilly has

worked as a secretary for years. Mr. Faymon trusts her, so she would not put her own future at risk.

Suddenly, Gabriel recalled that he had mentioned the matter to Stella briefly.

Could it be her who leaked the news?

They used to be classmates, so Gabriel dismissed that thought. There’s no need for Stella to do that. She has just

returned to the country and doesn’t have a lot of connections here.

In the end, Gabriel did not visit Stella and instead delivered the lunch boxes to the CEO’s office.

“Ms. Garland wants me to deliver these to you.” He handed the food to Curtis. “She said you should share them

with Carl. She also said…”

As he seemed hesitant to continue, Curtis opened the lunch boxes and asked, “What else did she say?”

Gabriel tried his best to stifle his laughter, but his shoulders were still trembling as he divulged, “Ms. Garland said

that Carl is still growing, so you should give up cooking for him because you’re not very good at it. She suggested

that you hire a nanny to cook for him at home instead. If Carl’s growth is impeded because of your cooking, she

warned that Mr. Xavier will skin you alive when he comes back.” He couldn’t help but snicker.

Curtis glared at him coldly. “Is that funny?”

Gabriel tried to maintain a serious face, but he couldn’t hide the amusement in his voice as he replied, “No, Mr.

Faymon. I think it’s best you focus on your primary job, which is earning money. Cooking isn’t for everyone.”

“Is there anything else?”

Gabriel noticed the grilled pork in the lunch box and nearly salivated. “Mr. Faymon, the grilled pork is very greasy. If

you don’t want it, I’d be more than happy to take it off your hands.”

“Scram,” Curtis said curtly.

“Oh, Mr. Faymon, how could you be so petty to eat everything alone?” Gabriel sighed. “Before leaving, I asked Ms.

Garland and confirmed that the CEO of Glory’s branch company is Jefferson Hamilton.”

I don’t know what Ms. Garland is thinking. She enjoys Mr. Faymon treating her well but still works for Jefferson. I

can’t help but feel that she’s a b*tch.

“I know.” Curtis’ voice was calm, and he wasted no time in getting rid of Gabriel. “You can leave now.”

After Gabriel left his office, Curtis stared at the yummy grilled pork in the lunch box. He could imagine Rayna

cooking in the kitchen.

A sigh escaped from his lips after a long silence. “She never disappoints me.”

Curtis was sure that Rayna had returned to the country suddenly for a specific purpose. Upon learning from Gabriel

that Jefferson was in charge of Glory, he was convinced that Jefferson had a wager with Arnaud, and Rayna only

entered Glory in order to assist Jefferson in winning the bet.

She didn’t want Arnaud to win, as she wanted to avenge Kristie.

He understood every step she took and was naturally aware of her plan.

She wanted to be independent, so he stood back and gave her the space she needed. But he didn’t forget to keep

an eye on her and provide her with everything she lacked. He watched as she learned and grew more capable as

time passed. That was what he loved about her—her determination and temper.

Despite that, he couldn’t help but wish she would sometimes stop and pay attention to him.

Have I not yielded enough in our relationship?

Rayna’s previous concerns proved to be true.

She spent the rest of her day watching over thirty young directors’ graduation works. They were too ordinary.

There were a few outstanding works, but they weren’t what she wanted.

The following day, she went to work as usual. Ella presented her with the potential female lead candidates.

Of the forty candidates, nearly half were inexperienced newbies from universities across the country who were

willing to accept whatever terms Glory proposed. The remaining thirteen were slightly popular celebrities in the

entertainment industry, who would require more detailed negotiations over wages.

Rayna regarded the photos for a long time before picking one that caught her eye begrudgingly.

Alas, the young woman she picked was a celebrity under Newfirm Media. Through the phone, she asked for ten

million at once. Rayna got so furious that she ended the call straight away.

The male celebrity, although on the same level as the female celebrity, humbly accepted two million from Glory

and cooperated with them. On the other hand, the female celebrity took advantage of her attractive appearance to

demand for more money.

Rayna wanted to work with Excellent Entertainment Company, but she was too shy to ask for more help from Curtis

as he had already done so much for her in secret. Moreover, she didn’t agree to take her pick when Gabriel had

come over earlier. It would be rude to ask for Curtis’ help now.

Feeling frustrated, Rayna called Ella to ask her to retrieve a file from the planning department.

However, no one picked up the call.

Rayna went out and noticed Ella wasn’t at her desk. She was currently free, so she decided to head to the planning

department personally.

Soon, Rayna arrived at the floor where the planning department was located. She was walking along the corridor

when she heard laughter from the office ahead of her. Hearing her name, she slowed down as her gaze flickered.

The planning department employees were unaware of her arrival and continued gossiping among themselves

cheerfully.

One female employee revealed, “I saw Mr. Tylinski from Faymon Group coming to our office yesterday. He went

straight to Ms. Garland’s office. A few minutes later, he emerged with two lunch boxes and left in a haste.
