Chapter 128
At the company's welcoming party...
"I don't know those people in the group."
Christina was a little frustrated.
She had never worked since she graduated from college and felt that she had left behind society.
"I am a disgraceful illiterate."
After thinking for a while, she hugged her man and rubbed him with her hands.
"Patrick, after I give birth to my son, I want to work like Barbara..." Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
"You want to be a senior executive like Barbara?"
Patrick gazed down at her frustrated face, chuckled, and said with disagreeing, "Christina, I don't think you'll ever learn that."
"Don't underestimate me.I graduated from a prestigious school too!"
Seeing her indignant expression, Patrick thought that she was a little persistent.
After thinking about it, he told her seriously, "You don't need to be like her..."
As soon as he said that, the servants from the corridor rushed over.
"Young Master Patrick, Old Master is waiting for you in the car."
"Patrick, you have to work hard to make money.You have a wife and a son to raise.Go quickly"
Christina pushed him, telling him to hurry, lest the Old Master become impatient.
"I'll send a car to pick you up for the Fire Club's welcoming party.Don't go alone, you hear me?"
Before Patrick left, he did not forget to warn her.
"Got it."
She continued to stoop over the fence by the lotus pond, and as she watched the man in front of her walk away, she felt a little emotional.
There was a saying that one of the reasons why there were so many divorces in modern society was that modern couple were not like the couple in the old days who worked together in the mountains, whose learning and understanding were synchronized.
In modern times, one of the two had been in contact with new things and was improving, while the other had stopped, which created a gap between the two, and they gradually were not on the same track.
His man was too good, which made Christina worried.
Originally, she didn't like this ice-like man, thinking that she was just forced to remarry for her pregnancy and forced to give birth, which was just a deal.
She didn't know since when she was loath to part with him, was attached to him, was worried and afraid the distance between the two of them was greater.
Then, she would never catch up with him.
Pig Is Rising: [ Christina, do pregnant women have hormonal disorders and like to think nonsense.]
Crystal slacked off at work and secretly chatted with her via WhatsApp.
[Although Mark is outstanding, he doesn't seem to be aman who has an affair.]
Invincible Tina: [Life is so long, how do I know whether that ice-like man will betray me? Of course, I have to be vigilant.]
Pig Is Rising: [Forget it, he's had enough troubles marrying you...And look, you changed the name of my wise and powerful boss into some bullshit name as Antarctic Ice Cube.He didn't even complain.Dead Christina, don't try to ruin his lofty temperament all the time, okay?]
Christina felt that this woman had been blinded by his charm and that she had scolded her for him regardless of their friendship.
Invincible Tina: [Patrick isn't as good as you think he is.He's so fierce when he's angry.]
Pig Is Rising: [That was because you, a wife who didn't do anything, made him angry.If anyone else dares to make him angry, he probably won't even be angry and just let someone kick him out.]
But Crystal thought about it.
Christina's worry was reasonable.
Who she married was Patrick.
Gods knew it was good luck or bad luck.
Pig Is Rising: [It's rare for Mark to let you know his friends.You have to take the initiative to blend in.Connections, you know? For people like us who were in this society, connections are priceless.You have to go to the welcoming party.]
After a long conversation with Crystal, Christina felt that what this unreliable classmate Crystal said made sense.
She threw her phone on the bed and ran to the cloakroom to select clothes for tonight's party.
Around 5 pm, Patrick sent someone to pick her up to the Fire Club bar.
Perhaps it was because she once went to the wrong floor, so the two bodyguards who were watching her were on full alert and insisted on seeing her to the top.
She came early.
Old Master Mr.Hopkins went to the company today, and there was probably a board meeting, so when she reached the top, the huge space was quiet.
Bored, she turned around and found several emergency openings.
The bar staff was placing food in the middle of the buffet.
She was not hungry and continued walking.
Suddenly, a familiar figure rushed over.
"Be careful -"
Christina reacted quickly.
Seeing that the woman in front of her seemed to have sprained her high heels and jumped forward, she subconsciously wanted to help her.
However, the impact was a little strong when she jumped over.
Almost out of instinct, Christina quickly squatted down, lowered her center of gravity, and supported herself with her right hand back to the floor at the same time.
She could not let herself fall.
"Thank you"
Soon, the woman in front of her was also caught on.
"What happened to you, Barbara? Are you okay?"
Christina saw her take a step back with a complicated look, and the corners of her eyes seemed to be wet.
Had she cried? Barbara stood up with an embarrassed expression and didn't want to elaborate.
"Nothing.I think I just saw an acquaintance.I chased him, but he ignored me..."
Her voice lowered, and when she looked down, she saw that Christina's right palm seemed to be bleeding since she was trying to help her.
"Your hand..." She said.
"Christina!"
Suddenly, an aggressive voice shouted at them.
"Please don't run around.You're heavily pregnant.If you die, we would be in big trouble too.Why are you lying on the ground? What if Patrick sees you later..."
As soon as Charles came over, he saw her lying on the cold floor with one hand, so he scolded her.
However, when he came closer, he was even angrier.
"Damn you, Christina, you came here to bring troubles for me, didn't you?"
Before Christina could explain, Charles frowned.
He turned around and shouted at the manager of the bar.
"Call someone who knows nursing"
"I'm fine."
"Christina, you'd better wish that Patrick would be blind and wouldn't see it!"
Charles glared at her.
Christina felt guilty and shut up.
The manager of the bar rushed over with the medicine box and led Christina into one of the private rooms to disinfect and bandage the wound on her right palm.
"She just wanted to give me a hand.Her palm probably hit the fire-resistant metal sensor buckle in the corner of the floor.There's no need..."
Barbara was surprised to see Charles act like this.She chuckled.
"Don't be so dramatic.It's just a little bruise."
"A little bruise."
Charles glared at the private door on the left, heartbroken.
"Barbara, you don't know what's going on...If Patrick sees her bleeding, he'll be heartbroken"
