Dear Sweetheart Chapter 125 Alfred Backing Her Up 1

As Alfred’s sharp gaze swept across the conference table, he spotted Rayna. He froze for a moment, then nodded at her.

Rayna quickly bowed to him while she still felt perplexed.

I really didn’t know he was Old Mr. Faymon until now. I visited the Faymon residence a few times after I got married to Julian, but I never saw Old Mr. Faymon because he was recuperating overseas.

What a coincidence.

Dexter stated, “Old Mr. Faymon, the company needs someone to be in charge, with Mr. Faymon being hospitalized. Hence, we want to choose someone to oversee matters at this meeting. The shareholders won’t be able to take it any longer if Faymon Group’s shares plummet a few times with Mr. Faymon’s absence.”

Jack nodded and added, “Old Mr. Faymon, you set the rules that Faymon Group should have at most two executives from the Faymon family. Even though Mr. Faymon is recuperating in the hospital, he’s still the CEO. Moreover, there’s Ms. Faymon in the planning department. Hence, we think Ms. Sienna shouldn’t enter Faymon Group or she’ll break the rules.”

Alfred turned to look at Sienna and asked sternly, “Why didn’t you tell me about your plan to enter Faymon Group?”

Sienna’s lip twitched, and she smiled gently. “Alfred, I was worried about Faymon Group. The company stock has greatly plummeted lately, and Curtis hasn’t woken up yet…”

“So you wanted to break the rules while exercising your influence as a member of the Faymon family?”

“That’s not what I meant, Alfred.”

Alfred barked, “You would have consulted me before taking any action if you really respected me as your elder brother. Although I gave Curtis the authority to manage Faymon Group, the company belongs to everyone! Do you know why some businesses fail so quickly? It’s because they’re a family business, and the family members impeded the development of those corporations. Nobody will work sincerely for you if everyone uses their connections to become executives and exploits the talented staff as stepping stones. People aren’t stupid. They are out to make money!”

Sienna’s smile froze from Alfred’s barrage of remarks.

Everyone in the conference room held their breaths.

Those in Faymon Group were aware of Alfred’s quick decision-making style. He was more difficult to talk to than Curtis, and he would even harshly chastise his family members whenever he was provoked.

The conference room opened once again when Alfred was lecturing Sienna. A few people walked in, and the middle-aged man standing in the front said, “Alfred.”

His full head of black hair contained a few white strands, and he did not seem young. He wore a three-piece suit and exuded a powerful aura like a man of power.

Rayna knew he was Chester Faymon, Alfred’s younger brother.

There were two men following behind Chester. The scrawny and sluggish one was Jason, his second son, while the other was Julian.

Jason is the general manager of the branch company at Yeringham, so it’s not strange for him to be here, but why did Julian follow them?

Alfred saw Chester and questioned, “Aren’t you in Saintnam on a business trip? Why are you back?”

Chester explained, “Jason called to inform me that Curtis got into a terrible car accident. I returned after I finished making arrangements for work. Curtis’ car accident caused Faymon Group’s stocks to continue declining. There are speculations that Curtis is on the verge of death and Faymon Group will fail. Are Curtis’ legs gravely injured?”

“There’s no need to find someone to be in charge. Ms. Garland will serve as the acting CEO until Curtis recovers.” When Alfred announced that in a light voice, the conference room became silent.

Alfred looked at Rayna, who was taken aback and gently stated, “Ms. Garland, it’s going to be hard for you for a while. You can mobilize the employees of several branches from the other states if it is necessary besides those in Faymon Group.”

After ten seconds of silence, a heated discussion began in the conference room.

Sienna reluctantly commented with a sullen expression, “Alfred, I know you don’t want to break Faymon Group’s rules. The acting CEO should be chosen from either Mr. Saunders or Mr. Grant. She’s merely a manager. “

Chester added, “That’s right, Alfred. You can’t joke about this. How can a manager be the acting CEO? That’s against the rules. I heard she doesn’t major in finance.”

The shareholders became concerned after they heard his words.

Managing a company was not child’s play. Having someone who did not major in finance serve as the acting CEO for a huge corporation like Faymon Group was equivalent to self-destruction.

“Old Mr. Faymon, we strongly object this!”

“What does she knows as a manager with little experience?”

“That’s right. Ms. Garland appears too gentle. She won’t be able to handle her subordinates. People won’t listen to her.”

The conference room, which was tense a moment earlier, had become rowdy like a supermarket. Everyone was in disagreement over Alfred’s suggestion and did not want Rayna to be their acting CEO.
