Chapter 161


    "Christina, do you really know Derek?"


    A stretch ck Bugatti drove steadily towards the Fishers. The car was spacious andfortable, but


    the atmosphere in it was strange.


    Charles stared at the woman across from him with aplicated look. "Hey, Christina,st time you


    said..."


    Last time, Christina said that she had known Derek a long time ago.


    He thought that she was only joking then because it was impossible.


    Even Patrick looked sideways at her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and wanted to say something.


    "I don''t like this gift."


    Christina did not catch on the topic. She shoved the expensive ck paper bag in her hand directly to


    Patrick, and her words were obviously disdainful.


    Patrick nced at the gift bag in his hand. Of course, he knew that this woman''s face had been


    darkened since she got into the car, so it was obvious that she was unhappy.


    "About your friend, I''ll let the HR department handle it..." Patrick guessed that she had lost her temper


    because of Crystal.


    "I don''t want your help."


    Christina turned her head to the window and refused ambitiously.


    Charles was speechless. The naughty girl did not say anything useful. She could have gotten some


    benefits but she was actually dared to refuse.


    He couldn''t help but say, "Patrick, Christina doesn''t have any experience in this field. Just do whatever


    you want. She doesn''t understand..." Thepany could not be affected by this woman!


    Patrick never thought about what Charles had said. He had no need to worry about the dismissal of an


    ordinary employee. If the solution could appease Christina, it would be worth it.


    But Christina, who was looking at the view through the car window, suddenly became furious.


    As if she had been provoked by something, she immediately said, "Charles, I don''t understand what


    you''re saying. I don''t understand you profiteers, but have I ever interfered with you? I won''t and I don''t


    care about your stupid things."


    "Barbara''s solution is not rted to you. Christina, don''t think about these meaningless affairs all day


    long..."


    "Nonsense. Charles, what you mean is that I''ve done nothing but be a breeding tool. I am just a


    hindrance to you, right?"


    The more Christina said, the angrier she became. "Barbara can do whatever she wants to do. It''s good


    for Crystal to leave. Otherwise, she will be traped in some big troubles one day."


    Charles felt it was a little unusual to see her so angry as if she had been annoyed by someone before.


    ording to the past experience, he thought for a second and decided to shut up so as not to be


    cannon fodder.


    Christina saw that Charles no longer provoked her, and did not say anything. She turned her head


    angrily to avoid seeing them.


    "... Take it."


    Patrick saw her face flushed with anger, and he nced sideways at the bodyguard in the corner,


    motioning for a ss of water to be poured to her.


    The luxurious car had drinking water and beverages. The beverages were all mango-vored, which


    made Charles very speechless.


    Patrick was born allergic to mangoes, but Christina loved mango vors. How doomed the love was.


    Christina took two sips of the water. She was really thirsty. Her beautiful big eyes nced at Charles,


    and she felt more ufortable with him.


    She warned, "Charles, don''t give awful ideas all day long. Don''t teach Patrick bad."


    Charles felt inexplicable and subconsciously wanted to retort, but for safety''s sake, he sneaked a peek


    at Patrick.


    The man was turned to be in a good mood when he saw his wife bullying his good brother.


    It was because the words sounded like Christina was protecting Patrick.


    "Charles, don''t deny it. You must have asked Barbara to buy this scarf for me. Hmph."


    There was still some distance to the Fishers. As long as Christina was bored on the way, she would


    She was really angry that Barbara gave her such a scarf.


    Patrick didn''t know how to make a woman happy. After all, Charles must have had this bad idea. It was


    he who asked Barbara to choose a suitable gift for her.


    But whatever Barbara gave her, she didn''t think it was appropriate.


    "I think Barbara has a good taste. This white scarf is of excellent quality. From a top brand. How could it


    offend you, Miss Dickens?" Charles admitted, opened the bag, took a look, and felt that there was


    nothing wrong with it.


    This morning, he went to the hospital with Patrick to visit Barbara. She looked much better and said


    she was going to leave the hospital and go shopping.


    Just a few days ago, Patrick did a big favor to the Shepherd Family. His father kept saying that they


    should thank Patrick, so he came up with an idea to give Christina some gifts in the name of Patrick.


    Anyway, if Christina was happy, Patrick must be happy, too.


    He didn''t expect this woman would dislike it. She was really so hard to serve.


    Patrick took a look at the white scarf. It was actually light gray, but it was made of pure silk. It was


    printed with low-key purple floral patterns. It was exquisite and shined some sh of colors in it. It was


    made of very good material.


    "You don''t like it?"


    Christina grimaced and stuffed the cup back into Patrick''s hand. She was a little willful. "I just don''t like


    it."


    Charles was so depressed. Fine, Miss Dickens said she didn''t like it, and the value of this thing

    immediately dropped.


    Patrick didn''t say anything. He threw the scarf under the car and thought for a while. "Red suits you."


    Christina was not suitable for white, she was not gentle, and she was not suitable for keeping a low


    profile. She was born with a mboyant temperament, her figure and facial features were always eye-


    catching. Some people did not dare to wear stunning red, but her white and tender skin just made her


    more enchanting and attractive in it.


    Patrick loved her so much when she wore a red silk nightgown. Every time she wore that color, she


    would be treated by him in bed vehemently.


    "I don''t like red." Christina had a grudge.


    It didn''t matter what color it was. "No woman would like a gift picked by her rival..."


    A woman was so happy to receive a gift from a man, but the gift was chosen by another woman. That


    was ok. There was nothing wrong with choosing a gift from a different perspective, but just thought


    about it made Christina feel bad.


    "Gift means your heart. If you have no idea what gift I will ept, then don''t give it to me. If I say I like it


    this time, then you will consider that whatever Barbara likes in the future, I''ll like it, too, right?"


    Christina looked unhappy and red at the two men.


    These men who were struggling in the workce really had the low EQ to treat women.


    Charles had an epiphany on his face and sighed in a little indifference. "No wonder Marie wasn''t very


    happy the other day." That Marie was already his ex-girlfriend.


    How could a woman be so direct when she was dissatisfied? It was she, Christina, who was just so


    bold.


    Christina gave him a word straight away. "Stupid!"


    Charles''s face darkened. Patrick looked at the woman beside him andughed in a good mood.


    Christina was a little tired, and her head naturally rested on Patrick''s shoulder. Looking at Charles, she


    felt a little smug. She nced at the window from the corner of her eyes and showed a slight


    nervousness. the Fishers was almost here...


    Patrick supported her with his right hand and then simply hugged her to make her feel more


    Charles looked out expressionlessly. He didn''t want to see the annoying couple anymore. "How could


    he leave me alone like this? What a sin!" Charles thought.
