Chapter 53 Errors In The Contract

Rayna went to Jonathan’s office to look for him, but he was not there.

“Are you looking for Mr. Lawson? He just left an hour ago. But he told me that he left a few documents on his desk and he wants you to work on them when you’re here,” said a colleague who came earlier.

“Thanks.”

Jonathan’s desk was very clean. There were two folders next to the keyboard. Rayna guessed those were the documents that he wanted to pass to her.

So she took the documents back to her seat to work on them.

There were two copies of the contract about the sale of goods. They were in Ferropenean and needed to be translated into Anglandurn. She also had to highlight the important terms in the contracts. Jonathan had worked on half a page only.

Initially, Rayna thought it was just an ordinary contract, and she would be able to get it done in a short time. However, when she turned to the back, she realized the number of goods and contract sum did not tally. Oh dear, this is serious!

It seemed like someone was trying to use this shipment to do money laundering!

Rayna immediately gave Jonathan a call.

“Mr. Lawson, there’s something wrong with the 0237 documents you asked me to translate,” Rayna immediately told Jonathan the problem that she spotted in the contract as soon as he answered her call.

“Oh, d*mn it! Mr. Faymon sent me the document yesterday and said that they’re going to sign the contract one week later. I wanted to let you translate the document and hand it over to Mr. Tylinski. But the other party came to Norwal City earlier than scheduled, and they want to sign the contract today. The secretarial department quickly translated the document, and I believed they’ve taken the document out this morning,” said Jonathan anxiously.

“It should be all right. The secretarial department should’ve realized the issues in the contract too when they did the translation. I believe the contract that Mr. Tylinski brought out must be a revised version,” said Rayna.

Jonathan said solemnly, “Rayna, you amend the contract immediately and print it out. Then, you send the contract to Grasim Hotel for Mr. Faymon. They’re going to sign the contract there at eleven o’clock.”

“Mr. Lawson, do you think there’s a problem with the contract prepared by the secretarial department?” asked Rayna concernedly.

“Let’s not get there and get it done as soon as possible.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, Rayna immediately started working on the contract.

When printing the contract, it was already nine-twenty. She was afraid that she could not reach there on time, so she sent a text message to Curtis, telling him that there were some errors with the contract in Gabriel’s hands.

As soon as Rayna got the contract printed, she grabbed her bag and ran out. When she finally took the elevator to get out of Faymon Group, she couldn’t hail a taxi.

She looked at her phone again and decided to run while looking for a taxi.

Why is it so hard to get a taxi today?

As Rayna ran too fast, she accidentally rubbed her arm against a telephone pole. Her skin immediately turned red. When she saw a taxi approaching, she endured the pain and waved with her other hand.

However, the taxi drove past her like a gust of wind.

There was also a black minivan that whizzed past behind the taxi, but the minivan quickly reversed. The car window was rolled down, revealing a beautiful and delicate face.

“Oh, look who’s this! Why are you in such a mess?” Kristie looked at Rayna and saw that her arm was scratched. “Are you not able to hail a taxi?” said Kristie gloatingly.

Rayna’s lips twitched.

Why do I always bump into her?

“Ms. Winton, I’m in a hurry. Can I take a ride?” Curtis did not reply to her WhatsApp message, and it was almost eleven. Rayna was afraid that Curtis would sign the contract with errors with the other party.

“Why should I give you a ride?” Kristie glared at Rayna.

I wrote one hundred apology letters while crying because of you!

“It’s not impossible for me to give you a ride. If you try to beg me, maybe I’ll consider it,” said Kristie arrogantly while raising her chin.

“Let’s forget it if you don’t want to help.” Rayna waved the document in her hand in front of Kristie. “I’m actually rushing to send this urgent document to Mr. Faymon, but it’s so hard to get a taxi today. I’ll just have to tell Mr. Faymon the whole situation when I meet him later.”

“You’re lying!” Kristie gave her a dubious look. “There are people from the secretarial department as well as Mr. Tylinski who can deliver the document. Why does he need someone from the translation department to do the delivery?”

“There’s nothing that I can do if you don’t believe me.” Rayna put away the document and walked away hurriedly.

Kristie looked at the leaving figure of Rayna and hesitated.

What if she’s really sending the document to Curt? She looks anxious, and she’s even injured her arm. Maybe she was telling the truth.

After struggling for a while, she decided to give Rayna a ride. Kristie asked the driver to pull over and opened the door. “Hey, come in! I want to go with you. If you lie to me, I won’t let you off easily!” Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Rayna heaved a sigh of relief. She quickly got into the car and gave the driver an address.

“Stay away from me! You’re so dirty.” Kristie moved inside a little and said petulantly, “There is a first aid kit at the back. Take care of your wound yourself.”

“Thanks.” Rayna saw a small first aid kit behind her. She took out the iodine and smeared some on her wound.

While sitting and swaying with her legs crossed, Kristie made a call.

“Gray Wolf, I’m busy now. You bring the lunch to the film crew and wait for me there. I want to eat the gumbo from last time, but non-spicy this time.”

“I’m not your chef. You can order takeout yourself.”

“But you can cook, and it’s so delicious! I don’t eat takeout. If you don’t send me the food, I’ll keep calling you to disturb you. I’ll also call Curt to complain about you.”

“Ms. Winton, people like you should just stay on Mars and don’t come to Earth to trouble ordinary human beings like me.”

“I’m so pretty. What a waste if I stay on Mars!”

Kristie wanted to refute a few more words, but the call was abruptly hung up by James. She stared at the phone and yelled, “How dare you hung up on me! You should treat me nicer after your pay raise! How could you hang up on me?”

Unable to hold back herself, Rayna lowered her head and laughed.

Rayna wondered where Curtis found such a courageous man who dared to be so rude to Kristie and even hung up on her.

“What are you laughing at? Don’t you forget that you’re in my car? How dare you laugh at me!” Kristie shot Rayna a fierce look.

“I’m just laughing at my wound. Don’t you think it looks funny?” Rayna showed Kristie the wound that was covered with iodine.

Kristie snorted and kicked the back of the chair with her foot.

It’s all James’ fault! How dare he humiliate me in front of my love rival. It’s so embarrassing!

The minivan arrived at Grasim Hotel at ten o’clock. As soon as the door was opened, Rayna immediately rushed out of the car. Kristie put on her shoes and ran after Rayna.

Curtis was meeting the other party in a small conference room on the thirty-third floor of the hotel.

After Rayna arrived at the floor, she looked at the closed door of the conference room and ran even faster. She pushed the door open and strode in without knocking as she was too anxious.

There were several men in suits sitting at the rectangular conference table. The sudden appearance of Rayna disrupted their discussion.

“Sorry to disturb you!” After entering, Rayna bowed to the representative of the other party and apologized. Seeing that the contract was still with Curtis, she breathed a sigh of relief and walked over quickly.

Curtis frowned. “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Lawson said there are some issues with this contract. He asked me to bring over these two revised copies,” said Rayna in a low voice while replacing the contract she brought over with the original ones.
