His Precious Love

Chapter 103 She Handles The Department Of Regulators

“That’s strange for an interpreter like her to join us in this conference room.” The woman next to Edith did

not speak too loudly, but her tone was filled with mockery as she asked, “Are we allowing everyone to

have a seat here?”

Rayna glanced at that woman and confirmed it was Brooklyn Faymon, Curtis’ cousin.

Brooklyn sounded upset about this arrangement, but so was Rayna.

She told Curtis that she did not want to clean up the mess even if he had to transfer another employee

from the Norham branch. Yet, she was requested to join the executive meeting.

“Ms. Faymon, it’s been a while since we last met,” greeted Rayna with a smile. She hated it the most

when someone was mocking her like that. It was plain arrogant. “I understand what you mean, especially

when there are two of us representing the translation department. I admit I’m far from qualified to have a

seat here, but you have to understand a mere employee like me couldn’t refuse to attend the meeting

when the boss asked for me through an email. Ms. Faymon, I’m sorry if you feel like my presence is an

eyesore to you.”

Brooklyn most probably did not expect Rayna to talk back. Her face darkened instantly.

No one else in the conference room said anything.

Everyone knew why the meeting was held that day. It was to appoint the new supervisor of the

translation department. Since this matter had nothing to do with the other departments, they figured they

could sit there and watch.

Later, more and more people stepped into the conference room. Soon, it was packed with

representatives from different departments, including those who were often on business trips that Rayna

barely saw in the office.

Five minutes before ten o’clock, the door to the conference room was pushed open again. Curtis stepped

inside with his secretary, Naomi.

He wore a dark gray suit that day. His tall, muscular figure and sharp features exuded a casual,

indifferent, and powerful aura. Each of his movements was accompanied by an icy-cold temperament.

Then, Rayna noticed his necktie.

The brown and black striped tie complemented the tie clip underneath. Rayna could tell at one glance

that the tie clip was from Armani, and the necktie looked very familiar. However, she could not recall

where she had seen it before.

“Good morning, Mr. Faymon.”

As soon as Curtis stepped inside, the rest immediately stood up and greeted him. Rayna also snapped

back to her senses and followed suit.

“All right. Take your seats.” Curtis nodded and sat down. Naomi sat beside him and quickly opened her

notebook, looking solemn and professional.

Even when seated, Curtis kept his back straight. His authoritative aura had not decreased a bit. He said,

“I’ve gathered everyone here for the meeting today to address the new supervisor for the translation

department. Unfortunately, Mr. Lawson passed away unexpectedly, and we only have an acting

supervisor now. Still, an acting supervisor is different from the actual supervisor. I wish to hear your

opinions about that.”

No one said anything in response to that. It was complete silence inside the conference room.

“We have many capable employees in the translation department, but most are inexperienced.” In the

end, Brooklyn finally broke the silence by saying, “The acting supervisor, Edith, is a senior staff in the

translation department. I can see that she is serious about her work when I discuss work with her.

Hence, I believe most of us will agree to appoint her as the new supervisor for the translation

department.”

Curtis tapped his fingers on the desk and hummed in response. “You’re right. Edith has joined Faymon

Group for many years, and she’s considered a senior staff in the translation department. We all know

she’s competent at work.”

Hearing that, Edith looked delighted, whereas Rayna looked puzzled.

What’s wrong with Uncle Curtis? Does he not know Edith is on Jack’s side? How can we appoint her as

the supervisor? Why did he even ask me to join this meeting? Just to join in the fun?

Just when everyone else thought they had confirmed the candidate for the new supervisor, Curtis

continued, “She can be a team leader in the department but not the supervisor when she’s yet to display

her leadership quality.”

Right then, the door to the conference room was pushed open again. A man in a suit walked in. “Mr.

Faymon.”

Curtis nodded and stood up, introducing the man to everyone in the room, “This is Elliot Hopkins, who

just transferred from the Yeringham branch. He will be appointed as the new supervisor for the

translation department.”

Hearing that, everyone else, including Rayna, was shocked. They most probably did not expect a dark

horse. Rayna was especially impressed that Curtis pulled a move no one had expected.

Elliot nodded to everyone else. “I look forward to working with all of you.”

“Mr. Faymon, isn’t this arrangement inappropriate?” After a moment of startle, Brooklyn asked, “Shouldn’t

we assess his capability before appointing him? After all, working in the Yeringham branch is very

different from working here in the headquarters.”

“I only transferred him here after learning his capabilities.” Curtis smiled calmly. The look in his eyes was

unfathomable. “Just like how Mr. Saunders recognizes your ability.”

After catching the hidden meaning behind his words, Brooklyn changed her expression a little.

“Aside from appointing the new supervisor for the translation department, I also have another

announcement to make.” Curtis swept a glance across the conference room, and he seemed to have

fixed his gaze a little longer on Rayna.

He continued, “We only have one secretarial department in Faymon Group for now, and the workload is

too huge for them to handle on their own. Hence, I’ve decided to establish a new department called the

Department of Regulators to help them out.”

Everyone’s expression changed when they heard that.

In other words, setting up the Department of Regulators would give that department the right and power

to monitor other departments.

Curtis continued as though he did not notice the drastic changes in their expressions and explained,

“The Department of Regulators has access to all departments in Faymon Group and handles everything,

including tasks at my office. It is equivalent to my right-hand man. It doesn’t matter if I’m in the office, that

department represents me, and everything it handles is an order from me.”

“Mr. Faymon, isn’t that… unnecessary?” someone asked. “Setting up the Department of Regulators will

give us less privacy. Also, is the board of directors aware of this arrangement?”

Curtis smiled. “The Department of Regulators only focuses on handling things at work instead of your

privacy. If they ever do something to invade your privacy, that only means one thing. You must have

crossed the line between your work and your private life. Setting up this department is my decision to

make. Why should I inform the board of directors about this?”

“Well, the board of directors is to manage—”

Curtis cut them off with his cold voice, asking, “Are you implying that I don’t have the power to set up a

department even when I’m the CEO?”

That person immediately fell silent.

In fact, it was unnecessary to bring up the board of directors. The board of directors only had two

individuals for now. Alfred, the chairman, had not shown up since he handed the power of Faymon

Group to Curtis. He would only turn up if Faymon Group were in a crisis. Meanwhile, the deputy

chairman had traveled to Miralaea since Curtis took over Faymon Group and only cared about earning

his monthly profit.

Rayna raised her gaze and unexpectedly met Curtis’. His eyes were as dark as ink, reminding her of the

scene where he blocked her path in the restroom.

A chill ran down her spine. Rayna had a bad feeling about this.

Don’t tell me…

“Rayna,” Curtis called her out. His tone was emotionless, but there was a glint in his eyes as he

continued, “You will be transferred to the new Department of Regulators from the translation department

tomorrow onward. Naomi will arrange your office for you. You may choose your staff among Faymon

Group’s or other branches’ employees.”

No way! No wonder Uncle Curtis was staring at me weirdly and telling me those things last night. He had

planned this!

“W-What? Rayna is being transferred to the Department of Regulators?” Before Rayna could react to

that, Edith exclaimed, “How is she capable of working in the Department of Regulators? Also, is she

being appointed as the manager? That’s ridiculous.”

At first, Edith thought she would surely be appointed as the supervisor, yet Curtis unexpectedly

transferred someone else from another branch. She had yet to recover from that shock, and Curtis made

it worse by suddenly appointing Rayna as the manager of a new department.
