Dear Sweetheart novel

Curtis looked up to see Gabriel rooted to his spot in a daze. He frowned and demanded, “Don’t you understand my

order?”

Gabriel stared at Curtis in disbelief. “You’ve already given her three international endorsement contracts. Are you

really going to give the part in this highly anticipated movie to Kelly even though she’s just a rookie celebrity? That’s

an incredible opportunity especially since A-list celebrities don’t even have the chance to star in it!” He made a bold

assumption. “Are you offering to support Glory financially because they have limited resources? You’re trying to

help Ms. Garland, aren’t you? Are you still in a relationship with Ms. Garland or not?”

“Just do as I say.” Curtis narrowed his eyes, his tone indicating dissatisfaction. “I don’t have to explain my actions to

you.”

Gabriel reminded him, “Mr. Faymon, Daystar’s higher-ups will find out about this soon.”

“So what?”

Gabriel was speechless.

Fine! Mr. Faymon is choosing to support Ms. Garland and overlooking the benefits of his own company in the

process. What else can I say?

Gabriel took a deep breath and scurried off to do as instructed.

He contacted a manager at Excellent Entertainment Company to inform him about Curtis’ order first, then

contacted Kelly’s manager.

Kelly’s manager was thrilled to hear that Faymon Group would be covering the additional costs for the three-minute

video contract. Besides, Kelly would also secure a role in a movie and endorsement deals with luxury brands. He

broke into a wide smile at the unexpected windfall.

Afraid that if he provided Kelly with these resources, it would make the company’s other celebrities wonder if Kelly

had something to do with Curtis, Gabriel made an effort to spread rumors to divert their attention. He worked so

hard that he nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

Ah, I went that far just for Mr. Faymon’s sake!

After getting all the work done, Gabriel entered his office to rest for a bit. A while later, Stella came in with a stack

of files in her arms.

She was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of white slacks that highlighted her figure, making her look both

beautiful and professional.

“Here, these are from the previous season. I’ve verified the data.” Stella placed the files on the desk. As Gabriel

seemed exhausted, she asked, “Are you busy? I didn’t see you at work these few days.”

“Yes.” Gabriel took a sip of his coffee. “Glory has decided on their advertising campaign for their new perfume.

They have chosen a rookie celebrity from Excellent Entertainment Company, Kelly as the spokesperson.”

Stella grew curious. “Then Excellent Entertainment Company should be the one discussing the contract with Glory.

Why are you in charge?”

Gabriel hesitated for a moment. It wasn’t a secret, and Stella was an employee of Faymon Group, so he gave her

the file. “Glory has a tight budget and is only willing to pay three million to hire Kelly.”

“Really?” Stella flipped through the file and perused it briefly. “I heard that Daystar, Faymon Group’s subsidiary,

signed a bet-on agreement. That is a violation of the contract. Will Daystar’s higher-ups agree with Faymon Group’s

decision?”

Gabriel shrugged helplessly. “Even if they disagree, there’s nothing they can do. It’s Mr. Faymon’s decision. I’m

actually curious about how Mr. Faymon feels about Ms. Garland.”

Stella’s expression turned dark. She quickly regained control of her emotions and smiled. “I think he wants to make

amends to her. After all, it was Ms. Garland who held the fort when the Faymons had a conflict. She was a true star,

and Faymon Group owes her one.” Her voice was gentle. “If Glory’s new perfume doesn’t perform well and the bet-

on agreement fails, Ms. Garland will most likely be fired. Mr. Faymon doesn’t want to see her fail, so he’s kind

enough to offer some assistance for old times’ sake.”

Her words made sense to Gabriel. Mr. Faymon has broken up with Ms. Garland, so he’s only helping her for old

times’ sake. However, he has done that too many times after their breakup.

“Wait.” Something occurred to Gabriel, and he gazed at Stella curiously. “I didn’t tell you about Ms. Garland working

at Faymon Group. How do you know about that?”

Stella pointed at the ground. “Word gets around. If you’re a woman, you will hear tons of gossip in the restroom or

the pantry.”

“Wow, women gossip a lot, huh?” Gabriel chuckled and shook his head. He stopped pondering over the matter.

Carl might be staying with Curtis, but he didn’t forget to contact Rayna on WhatsApp every day.

His texts mainly consisted of complaints. For instance, he said Curtis was a clean freak who would hire a cleaner to

clean the house even if it was only slightly dirty. Carl also complained that he was tired of eating takeout food three

times a day. Curtis attempted to cook but was bad at it. He even took pictures of the unsuccessful meals Curtis

prepared and sent them to Rayna. Carl said that Curtis was fortunate that he was rich and could afford takeout

food. Otherwise, Curtis would have starved to death if he had to survive on his cooking alone.

Feeling sorry for Carl, Rayna replied: I’ll cook yummy food and have someone deliver them to you tomorrow.

Carl’s answer arrived mere seconds later: Ms. Rayna, you’re the best! Mr. Curtis leaves me to my own devices. He

gives me money to dismiss me. I don’t want him to cook anymore. I’m afraid of his cooking.

Rayna: I told you to move in with me but you refused.

Carl: No. I need to stay with Mr. Curtis and keep an eye on him to see who his new girlfriend is. I’ve been living with

him for a while now, but he comes home every night on time and doesn’t smell of women’s perfume.

Rayna: So… you moved in with him to keep an eye on him?

Carl: Yeah. Ms. Rayna, has Mr. Curtis’ sexual orientation changed? Is that why he doesn’t have a girlfriend now?

Rayna was amused to read Carl’s text. I wonder what books he has been reading recently to fill his head with all

those nonsensical ideas.

Right then, Jefferson called. She didn’t reply to Carl and answered the call.

Jefferson asked, “Are you doing well in Norwal City?”

“Yeah, I guess.” Rayna glanced at the time and chuckled. “You should be busy right now. Why did you call me at this

hour? Aren’t you busy?”

“No, I miss you, so I decided to call you.” His voice was gentle and seductive.

Rayna pretended not to hear that and asked, “When are you coming back?”

“Not anytime soon,” Jefferson admitted with a sigh. He sounded helpless and uneasy.

Curtis was in Norwal City. Jefferson desperately wanted to go there to be with Rayna to prevent them from any

interactions with each other. However, he was busy here and had yet to find a subordinate he could trust.

Rayna furrowed her brows in curiosity. “Is the company busy planning a huge project? Is that why you’re so busy?”

“Yes. It’s a large-scale project.” Jefferson paused and asked softly, “Do you know about Aoba Project?”

“No. What is that?”

“The emergence of the internet has brought about a revolution in communication and data sharing, with more and

more devices connecting to it. Last December, the number of mobile broadband users worldwide reached an

astonishing ten billion. However, as mobile data traffic continues to surge, it leads to slower data processing,

increased latency in downloads, and instability in voice calls across the globe.”

“So Aoba Project focuses on researching the latest mobile communication technology?” Rayna quickly understood

his words and inhaled sharply. “This project is definitely large-scale, and it cannot be completed in just a few years.

Don’t tell me you built a lab and hired experts to research mobile communication technology.”

“I had that idea for some time, but it didn’t occur to me that someone would be faster than me. Jetroina has

already started on Aoba Project. The team leader is Mr. Tezuka, who came from IK Company.” He paused for a

moment before continuing, “But the person behind Aoba Project isn’t from Jetroina. I heard he’s an investor from

Chanaea. He’s provided Mr. Tezuka’s team with an unlimited amount of funding to conduct their research.”
