Dear Sweetheart Chapter 216
Chapter 216 A New Pet
Having picked up on the slight hesitation in her tone, Curtis narrowed his eyes and took over the phone
in her hand.
“Mr. Chambers, this is Curtis.”
He then put the phone on speaker so Rayna could listen in on the conversation as she continued
eating.
Due to his deliberate use ofyman’s terms, she finally understood what the men were talking about at
the end of their conversation.

After hanging up the call, Curtis returned the phone to her, saying, “You’ve never handled something
like this before, so it’s normal not to understand what’s going on right away. I’ll have Gabriel send the
relevant documents to you, and you should get a better idea once you’ve gone through them.”
“Isn’t this considered an abuse of power, Mr. Faymon?” Gabriel interjected. “If Ms. Gand wants any
documents, she should be getting them from Hatchair Group.”
“There’s nothing interesting about Hatchair Group’s documents.” Curtis narrowed his eyes at his
assistant. His tone was chilly as he remarked, “I advise you to think more and speak less.”
Learning of the man’s intents, Rayna thanked him with utmost sincerity. “Thank you, Mr. Faymon.”
“You’re wee.”
After having lunch at Gabriel’s house and staying there for a little longer, Rayna took her leave. She still
had things to take care of, and she had to go through all of the documents Gabriel gave her.
A moment after she left, Curtis was about to go as well.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by his assistant. Gabriel wore a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes as
he queried, “Mr. Faymon, you’ve already wasted all afternoon. I don’t suppose a couple more minutes
will matter.”
“What is it?”
Gabriel pursed his lips and whistled. Soon, an ugly-looking pup came into view, causing Curtis’
expression to darken. He quickly pulled his assistant to the front, blocking himself from the puppy.
“Mr. Faymon, it’s a puppy, and it doesn’t have much fur. Do you mind taking care of it?”
Casting a re at the man, Curtis enunciated, “Come again?”
“It’s not just an ordinary puppy, Mr. Faymon. It’s an intelligent breed, so it can help guard your house.”
“I have a home security system.”
“It might be useful when you’re out and about. It can help carry things.”
“I have a driver.”
Gabriel sighed in resignation after his suggestions were refuted by his boss. Suddenly, an idea
urred to him, and he eximed, “Mr. Faymon, did you know Ms. Gand gave it a name? She
named it Lucky.”
Noticing Curtis’ck of response, Gabriel continued to persuade him, “Ms. Gand wants to raise the
puppy, but she doesn’t have a courtyard, and the condominium she’s staying at doesn’t allow dogs.
Don’t you think it’s auspicious to have a cat named Happy and a dog named Lucky?”
Curtis inched backward as the puppy was about to lunge at him, his face devoid of expression the
entire time.
“I’m not raising it.”
He wasn’t interested in raising a pet.
“Please reconsider, Mr. Faymon,” Gabriel coaxed. “Ms. Gand really likes it. She’ll be happy to invite
you in for a coffee if you bring Lucky to visit her.”
At that, Curtis let out a snort ofughter. “I don’t need a dog’s help for that.”
Gabriel stroked his chin. He begged to differ from his employer’s statement. “I noticed that Ms. Gand
didn’t seem too keen to see you. Don’t you think so, Mr. Faymon?”
Once again, Curtis was left speechless.
Finally, after his assistant’s relentless persuasion, he left with a crate and a bag of kibble in his hands.
It was a heart-warming scene, but aplicated expression was stered on his face.
On the way back, Curtis’ gazended on the crate sitting on the passenger seat. The puppy looked
back at him and wagged its tail excitedly, wanting to get out of its crate.
He shifted his gaze and massaged his temples helplessly. “I must be crazy.”
I hate animals, yet I’m raising one now because Rayna likes it. Daily new chapters upload Only On
niniz(dot It seems my principles are changing because of her. This is nonsense!
The Ragdoll kitten was young, but because it had been adequately socialized, it wasn’t afraid of
humans at all. It sprinted around the living room and yed with the toys Rayna brought from Gabriel’s
home.
Jessica loved the kitten, too, and would spend all day ying with it, leaving Wyatt heartbroken.
When he came to pick her up the next day and saw she was ying with the kitten again, Wyatt asked
piteously, “Am I not handsome enough? Why are you only paying attention to the kitten and not me?”
“Behave yourself in broad daylight, please!” Jessica chided, kicking him in the leg.
“I’m on my best behavior!” He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and lifted a brow. “Such a tiny little
thing can’t please you, can it?” he asked teasingly.
“Wyatt Lopez! You pervert!”
Looking at the bantering couple, Rayna felt the urge to beat Wyatt up.
Life is hard!
Her Mercedes-Benz was undergoing maintenance work. It just so happened that Hatchair Group and
Faymon Group weren’t far apart, so Wyatt took her to work. “What did you two name the kitten?” he
queried.
“Happy.”
Upon hearing her response, he burst outughing. “Curtis named his puppy ‘Lucky,’ and you named
your kitten ‘Happy.’ This is too funny!”
“No way. Mr. Faymon’s raising a puppy?” A hint of surprise could be heard in Jessica’s voice. “Doesn’t
he hate hairy animals? One time, an employee identally brought their cat to the office, and he
punished them by deducting half a year’s worth of bonus.”
“Well, people’s preferences can change.” Wyatt nced at Rayna through the rearview mirror and
hinted, “Perhaps it’s because of a certain someone.”
“Just drive!” Rayna rolled her eyes at him in response.
“Okay, okay. I’ll obey my sister-inw’s words,” said the man with a yful smile stered on his face.
“I’ll refer to you as my sister-inw from now on. Don’t forget about everything I’ve done for you guys
when you two work out.”
Displeased, Jessica scoffed. “Curtis isn’t deserving of our Nana.”
“How so?”
“He just isn’t! He’s such a jerk. There’s nothing he can do to redeem himself!”
“All right, whatever you say.” Wyatt grabbed her hand, nting a kiss on it. “I was just kidding. I’m
always on your side, Jessie.”
Rayna was stunned and speechless by the love birds’ public disy of affection. At that moment, she
couldn’t help regretting getting into the same car as them.
I’m never going out with both of them at the same time ever again!
As soon as she arrived at the office, Rayna instantly began settling the sky-high piles of documents on
her desk. Not long after, her assistant informed her of an appointment with the person in charge of
Universal Investments Corporation.
They had some time that morning, so Rayna brought the contract her assistant had prepared and
headed to the café to meet with them.
All of Universal Investments Corporation’s equipment was imported from Dartan. The equipment was
highly efficient, but they were also apanied by an astronomical price tag. Hatchair Group wasn’t
nning on mass-producing their product, so Rayna thought of outsourcing the production to Universal
Investments Corporation.
Previous coborations between Universal Investments Corporation, Hatchair Group, and Faymon
Group went without a hitch. Coupled with Rayna’s humble attitude, the person in charge consulted their
advisors and swiftly signed the contract.
Due to other engagements, they opted not to stay for lunch, so Rayna walked them out.
Just as she was about to hail a taxi to head back to the office, someone called out to her.
It was a middle-aged woman who was dressed elegantly. She had a smile on her face, and the graceful
aura she exuded couldn’t be emted by an ordinary woman.
“Are you Rayna Gand?”
“Yes, I am.” Upon taking a closer look at the woman, Rayna confirmed she was a stranger.
“I’m Theodore’s mother. I need to speak with you, so why don’t we chat in the café?”
Theodore’s mother?
She didn’t know why Emma was looking for her, but out of respect for someone older than her, she
agreed to go with thetter and picked a table near the window.
After taking her seat, Emma cut straight to the chase. “Ms. Gand, you’ve been taking care of your
siblings since your parents divorced while you were young, correct?”
Rayna hummed in acknowledgment.
“I’m impressed. You managed to get into Norham University despite your familial background.” There
wasn’t much admiration in Emma’s gaze as she looked at the younger woman. “You even managed to
w your way up to this position.”
