Chapter 109 Uncle Curtis Will Take Responsibility
“Understood!”
Immediately, the Department of Regulators got busy. All of them worked late into the night to check every
document in case the documents disappeared if they were one step too late. Sometimes, they would
even sleep in the company.
However, their meals were taken care of by a small catering team. In fact, the team was at the
employees’ service at all times. Anyone from the Department of Regulators only needed to make a call,
and the food would be delivered within ten to fifteen minutes.
Thus, everyone in the Department of Regulators could not help but feel touched. Though they were tired,
they were still well taken care of.
After looking through some documents, Rayna began to tremble in fear.
At first, she thought Faymon Group was just a complex organization. To her surprise, corruption was
already happening among the company’s leaders. The amount involved in those transactions was
tremendous.
No wonder Curtis wants to stay in Norwal City and establish the Department of Regulators rather than
going to Norham’s branch. Faymon Group is going to be doomed if this isn’t dealt with.
Nonetheless, Curtis was unbothered when Rayna showed him the documents. All he said was, “Ms.
Garland, I’m sure I’ve made myself very clear. The Department of Regulators is free to take matters into
its own hands. There’s no need to report to me.”
His words rendered Rayna speechless.
What the h*ll? That means he’s turning our department into everyone’s enemy!
Regardless, there was no room for Rayna to make bargains. Given no choice, Rayna had to steel herself
and deal with the matter. In less than one week, over sixty employees, including those with managerial
roles, were fired.
Everyone in Faymon Group were panicking.
After all, everyone who was hired had to go through many stages of the selection process. Especially the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtexecutives, who took a long time to get to the top of the hierarchy. It was their first time witnessing
Faymon Group firing so many people at one go.
Rayna said nothing in response to the private discussions and reprimands of the dismissed employees.
Instead, she presented the relevant documents, which soon shut them up.
Those who were fired had either been involved in corruption or sold the company’s secrets. They were
considered lucky for still being alive after all the crimes they committed against Faymon Group.
When the tough part was done, Rayna could finally relax.
She knew everyone in the department had been working hard the entire time. Hence, she rewarded
them based on the company’s double-shifting system. They were given a week of paid leave, and if they
were to go on trips, the company would pay for it. The employees from the other departments were
extremely jealous when they found out about it.
Jessica was no exception. “Nana, your department is the best. You even get reimbursed if you go on
holiday. Oh my goodness! It must be totally worth it to stay in luxury hotels. Is your department still
recruiting people? I’d love to join.”
“Well, Mr. Faymon gave me the freedom to do as I see fit. Naturally, the people in my department need a
rest after working hard for so long. I think you should stay put in the planning department. It’s too tiring
over here,” advised Rayna.
Jessica sighed. “I’m still jealous of you guys.”
Rayna and Jessica were just exiting the company’s lobby when they bumped into Jack’s group.
“Hello, Mr. Saunders,” Rayna greeted politely, causing Jack to pause in his tracks. He did not look like
someone who was in his fifties. He had a perfect posture, a domineering aura, and a pair of sharp eyes
that were fixed on Rayna as if he was looking for something.
Finally, Jack uttered arrogantly, “Oh, it’s you, Ms. Garland. Well, well. You’re quite bold for firing over
sixty people in a couple of days. Everyone in the company knows who you are now.”
Rayna merely responded politely, “I’m just doing my job for Faymon Group.”
Scoffing, Jack repeated, “For Faymon Group? I think it should be Mr. Faymon instead. No wonder
everything was smooth sailing for you. You guys could even enter my office to look at my documents.
Hmph. What are you up to? Are you guys going to fire me next?”
“You’re overreacting, Mr. Saunders. We’re looking into every department in Faymon Group, not just
yours. Anyway, I’m just an employee. You can just tell me if I’ve done anything wrong. If you think I’m
invading your privacy, I can get Mr. Faymon to check your office next time,” suggested Rayna.
“Are you threatening me?” Jack raised his voice, his face turning purple with rage.
“Oh, I wouldn’t dare to.”
Just then, Jack’s secretary stepped up and said, “Mr. Saunders, let’s head upstairs first. Everyone’s
waiting for us.”
In the end, Jack shot Rayna a glare before storming off.
It was only when Jack’s group had walked further away that Jessica finally spoke. “That’s Mr. Saunders?
It looks like he’s not someone to be trifled with. Did you see his eyes? They were like inverted triangles.
People like him are vicious and cunning. He looks well and truly mad. Be careful, Nana. I can’t imagine
what he’ll do to you.”
Rayna only smiled in response.
She had nothing to be afraid of. After all, Curtis was her boss; he would take responsibility if anything
happened.
After a week of hard work, the weekend had finally come. Rayna, too, wanted to get some rest.
Unfortunately, BC’s headquarters called, urging her to claim her car or the prize would be annulled.
Thus, she dragged Jessica along to BC’s auto sales in Norwal City to pick up the car early that morning.
Rayna was asked to present her Twitter account and ID card to the salesperson before being brought
over to view her car. The new model had four colors, and she was allowed to choose either one.
Hearing that, Rayna chose black. Once the papers were completed and fuel was added, Rayna was free
to drive the car away.
She did not have to worry a single thing about the process. Even the car plate was settled by the car
company.
Jessica sighed in admiration as she sat comfortably in the passenger seat. “How nice. You don’t have to
get squished in the subway anymore.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Well, I’ll still get into traffic jams during peak hours.” While saying that, Rayna tapped on her phone to
check the time. “I haven’t visited home in a while. Why don’t we go to my house for lunch?”
That suggestion filled Jessica with excitement. “Sure! I want to try your mom’s cooking. I’m sure her food
tastes amazing. Do you want to ask if your brother’s on holiday? I can meet him as well.”
Rayna giggled. “You two seem to be getting along well.”
Hence, she dialed James’ number.
Since a person’s voice sounded different on the speakers, Jessica did not realize Rayna’s brother was
the youngster she had met twice in the elevator.
Coincidentally, James was on leave that day, so Rayna asked him for his location to pick him up.
When the call ended, Jessica asked hurriedly, “How do I look today? Am I pretty?”
“Very. You look like an angel from heaven.”
“Oh, please. You’re flattering me.” Jessica covered her face, looking shy.
With that, Rayna started driving while following the directions to James’ location. Just as they passed
through a tunnel, Jessica’s phone rang.
When the call ended, Jessica said with a troubled look, “Looks like I can’t visit your house today. My aunt
is summoning me to have a meal at their place. Apparently, my uncle is back from his business trip at
Faulkay.”
“It’s okay. You hadn’t visited your aunt’s place when you came here, anyway,” Rayna commented,
understanding Jessica’s situation. Thus, Rayna keyed the location into her phone and sent Jessica to
her aunt’s before picking James up.
Twenty minutes later, Rayna arrived at the location and spotted James, who was leaning against the
billboard. He wore a gray, short-sleeved shirt and a pair of cargo pants. Thanks to his tall figure and
handsome features, the surrounding women could not help but glance at him occasionally.
Rolling down the window, Rayna teased, “Hey, Mr. Handsome. Do you want to hitch a ride?”
James glanced briefly at the car before walking over with pursed lips. Meanwhile, the women who were
about to talk to him gaped in surprise, shocked by the fact that James was actually leaving with Rayna.
“It’s a blessing to be good-looking. You’re welcome wherever you go. Oh, well. It looks like I don’t have to
worry about your marriage in the future.” Rayna could not help but chuckle as she glanced at those
gaping women through the rear mirror.
James, on the other hand, was not bothered by her teasing. Rather, he asked, “Rayna, did you buy a
car?”
