Spoil My Errant Wife

Chapter 158 

"Christina, I'm really fine.Don't worry about me.I don't have a headache after the drip.It's just that lost my job..."

Crystal laid weakly on the bed, pretending to be optimistic but her voice low.It couldn't be true to say that she didn't care about it.

She went on a business trip with her boss but suddenly lost her job.

What about her mortgage and car loan next month? Without moncy, everything was a big problem.

"I’ll talk to Patrick..."

Christina, who was standing by the bed, turned around angrily and was about to go out to question him.

It was so unfair and she felt really bad for her best friend.

"The client was deliberately making things difficult.You had drunk yourself into the hospital.And yct they made you resign just for Barbara's performance and order.They can't do this to you!"

"Christina, don't go."

Crystal knew her well enough to stop her from doing anything irrational.She smiled bitterly.

"You took the blame for others before.It's just life."

There was always something they couldn't control.

Christina's face was cold, and she did not move.She was very angry, but she knew she couldn't rush to the next room to make a scene.

She was just upset.

everyone had taken the blame for others fault.

She used to encounter injustice when she was doing a part- time job while in school.

Some of her colleagues would kiss up to their superiors to get the easiest job with a higher salary and would throw those newcomers under the bus when something went wrong.

Crystal was a simple persan so she wasn't too depressed.

Thinking that she still had some savings in her card she figured that she would not be broke before she found a new job in time.

She chuckled, "If I'm not wanted here, I'll just find somewhere else to work."

Looking at Christina, who had a dark face, she joked and smiled.

"Don't think everyone can be like you, married to Patrick and living a life as the Young Madam..."

"But it can be easy for Patrick to manage the whole company.Christina, you should really be more considerate of your husband.It's really not easy to earn money to support the family.There are many deceptions and intrigues.You don't know how many people are waiting for him to fall from his position"

Christina raised her eyebrows.

Secing that she was being all goody and nice, she immediately chaffed her.

"The company is about to terminate the contract with you, and you are still defending him'’ Crystal was always considerate of others.

She was patient and did everything slow and steady.

Therefore, her classmates and colleagues always liked to ask her for help, and this girl didn't know how to refuse, so she had to do whatever others asked her to do.

Christina didn't have such a good temper.

She had a dark face.She was unhappy and she wouldn't hide her feelings.

Crystal wanted to laugh when she saw how angry she was.

Christina, her impetuous best friend was not a gentle and considerate person but was very sincere, very straightforward, and very simple.

There was no need to pretend in front of Christina.

The fact that she was angrier than herself made her feel like being cared for sincerely.

She could feel her care directly without any sweet words.

It was a blessing that at least she had one friend who was willing to defend her after she lost her job.

"Forget it.It's good to change jobs.The last time I saw that Erica fooling around with a random man at the Fire Club, Sabrina thought I was spreading rumors about her cousin.I guess even Barbara was making things difficult for me because of that.I don't want to stay here anymore..."

Crystal's tone became more relaxed and cheerful.

"Barbara..."

Christina murmured this name with some thoughts.

Barbara had met a big client this time.

Although the client was deliberately being difficult, she did not say anything.

Instead, she put all the blame on her own employees and gave Mr.Morris a big favor.

Boss wasn't stupid.

He wouldn't dare challenge the IP&G Group if it got out of hand.

In the end, he could only sign the contract.

This was her first big project of Barbara after she got into the headquarter.

The senior management who had questioned her ability should restrain themselves now, and at the same time, Mr.Morris owed her a favor.

"No wonder she is Patrick's right-hand person."

Christina muttered, gritting her teeth.

She didn't care what Barbara liked to do, But the fact that she had to throw Crystal under the bus made her feel that Barbara was targeting her.

"Crystal, have a good rest..."

It was getting late.

Crystal, who had a weak tolerance for alcohol, must have been uncomfortable drinking so much alcohol last night.

She did not need to be disturbed.

Christina said in a soft voice and walked out.

Crystal did have a burning stomach and a dull pain in her head, but seeing Christina's expression, she was really worried that she would make a scene.

After thinking for a while, she shouted at her back, "Patrick rushed to our room tonight.He was actually looking for you…”

"He thought that if something's wrong with this meeting, I would definitely ask for your help.He's afraid you would be in danger."

Chrislina paused for a moment and did not say anything.She gently closed the door for her.

“Patrick didn't say anything about it."

She walked to the ward next door, muttering and complaining, slightly smiling.

She pushed open the door and found that Patrick was not in the ward.

"Patrick is downstairs" Charles said to her without thinking twice when he saw her.

After a pause, he immediately raised a sinister smile.

"Christina, are you sad that Patrick left you again? Don't worry, he's still waiting for you downstairs."

Christina thought Mr.Shepherd very annoying and she didn't even give him a look.

She turned around and wanted to go downstairs.

But as soon as she stepped forward, she turned around and looked at the woman in the bed with a thoughtful look in her eyes, Barbara sat with her back against the headboard, being looked at like that, she felt awkward and said.

"Christina, do you have something to tell me?"

"Christina, Barbara is sick now.Don't be mean to her just because you have Patrick to protect you"

Charles approached her and warned her in a low voice. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Christina said annoyedly.

"What do you think I'm going to say? I don't care about the company"

"Charles, you said that Barbara has been a group executive for so many years and she seldom goes on business trips to meet big clients with any newcomers.And this time, she brought Crystal.I just want to say thank you on behalf of my friend!"

Her voice was very calm, but she was gritting her teeth when saying thank you.

Charles was stunned, and he glanced over to the bed, thinking about something.

Barbara seemed to be nervous all of a sudden.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she asked anxiously, "Christina, do you have any misunderstanding..."

Hearing her voice, Charles couldn't bear to see her like this.

The ward should be quiet and Barbara needed a good rest.

"Christina, don't be ridiculous.Go downstairs now."

Charles simply took her out of the ward.

Christina was half-dragged and did not resist, but she was angry.

Crystal became the victim of other people's business interests.

"Stop.Don't drag me.I can walk by myself"

As soon as they left the room, she immediately held her face up and glared at Charles.

"Protect your good friends as hard as you can.None of you are good..."

Christina was still angry.

"Christina, you have to know that this is the business world.We want to maximize our profits...Barbara's decision was not wrong, don't get Patrick in on this..."

Charles had been in the business world for many years, so naturally, he knew that Crystal had no choice but to take the blame.

Christina didn't listen to him and walked straight into the elevator with heavy steps.

"Yes, your Barbara is not wrong, and Patrick also thinks Barbara is not wrong.It's all my fault.I dragged Crystal into this.I can't change it.I'm just angry.I feel guilty!"

She had never come into contact with this complicated business world, she didn't care about the interests.

Why did she have to choose Crystal, not other new employees...

Barbara was such a rational person, she wouldn't go through such trouble for her best friend's personal affairs.

It was clear that she was targeting her.

"Christina, you're overthinking it.Don't go and make a scene."

"Ok, I'm overthinking.What? You think I have persecution delusions?"

Christina glanced at him angrily, thought about it, put away her anger, and became serious.

"Charles, can I ask you something?"

"Barbara, is she Derek's girlfriend?"

They got into the elevator, and the elevator was going down.

Charles didn't understand why she suddenly asked this question.

He felt a little strange.

"Yes, they are a couple" Charles noticed her expression and asked curiously, "Christina, do you know Derek?"

The elevator reached the first floor, the lobby.

Christina walked out of the elevator expressionless.

All of a sudden, she wanted to laugh.

She bit her lips and said in a low and heavy tone.

"I know him.I knew him a long time ago"
