Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 106 You Caused Me The Greatest Harm

“We’re wading in deep waters this time,” Jessica remarked as she adjusted her glasses. “This department thinks they can do whatever they want in Faymon Group, but its politics are complicated.”

Jessica appeared disgruntled. “Mr. Faymon looks decent. I can’t believe he’s so wicked.”

At this point, Rayna was not too worried. “Well, somebody has to do it. As Mr. Faymon wouldn’t return to the Norham branch, he would be here to keep things together if something goes south.”

“What about the interview? How is that going?”

Rayna pursed her lips. “Their résumés and capabilities looked impressive enough, but Faymon Group has the final say. I merely choose one, and the rest is down to the people in the Yeringham and Horington branches.”

Jessica understood. “It has to be this way as there are eyes everywhere in Faymon Group, who may be spies for Mr. Saunders or Mr. Grant. Those employed for less than two years in the branches wouldn’t even have the opportunity to come in contact with either of them.”

That was the end of the subject with nothing left to discuss.

“Is your brother controlling, Nana?” Jessica asked Nana after a while.

Rayna giggled. “What about him?”

“As soon as he heard that you recommended me and that we live together, he couldn’t stop asking about you and if you were being treated well. He even asked me to take you out often and away from work.”

“My parents divorced when we were young, so I basically raised him,” Rayna explained. “That is why he’s attached to me, which I do not mind. You should have more conversations with him about things other than me.”

Jessica was taken aback. “I’m sorry, Nana. I didn’t know.”

Rayna thought she was making it a bigger deal than it was. “Nothing to apologize for. It’s only natural that they would go their separate ways since things weren’t working out for them. All right, let’s eat.”

“Let’s. I’ll bring the food.”

Though Rayna claimed that her parent’s divorce did not bother her, the memories often overwhelmed her in her sleep.
