Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 127 I Regret My Actions

No one apart from Curtis and Alfred had ever trusted her this much.

Not wanting to hesitate any further, Rayna nodded and said with a confident look in her eyes, “Please rest assured that I will do my job well as acting CEO and help Faymon Group survive this crisis!”

Satisfied with her response, Alfred had Naomi fetch the appointment letter. He then signed his name on it and sent the digital version to all employees of Faymon Group.

Since Rayna had the official appointment letter signed by the chairman, no one dared say another word about it.

Just minutes ago, they were all arguing about it in the conference room. With the candidate being chosen, all the higher-ups left the conference room as they no longer had any reason to stick around. Alfred wasn’t feeling well, so he left the conference room as well.

After personally seeing the shareholders out the door, Rayna returned to the conference room and saw Julian, who was on his way out. She remained in the elevator and waited for him to enter before hitting the button for the first floor.

The elevator hummed softly as it made its rapid descent.

“Why did you defend me during the meeting earlier?” Rayna asked calmly without looking at him.

She noticed something different about Julian the moment he entered the conference room earlier. Not only did he look a lot wearier than the last time she saw him at the hospital, but he was also a lot less confident when he spoke. That, combined with his act of defending her, made him seem like a completely different person.

“I wasn’t defending you. I was simply stating the facts. It was all my fault,” Julian replied.

Although he turned his head the other way to avoid looking at Rayna, his gaze still fell upon her. The look in his eyes was a combination of guilt and regret.
