Chapter 160
Today was the birthday party for the old witch of the Fisher Family.
Christina was ready to leave at 2 pm.She thought it was Patrick who knocked on the door.
But when she turned around, she saw an 'uninvited guest' Christina looked with a straight face at the woman in the front.
She must have come to find him...
"Patrick went out early in the morning" Christina was too lazy to greet the woman, and her voice was cold and obvious to drive the woman away.
"I know" Barbara replied with a smile as if she didn't mind Christina's repulsion at all.
"Around 7 o'clock this morning, he came to see me and helped me go through discharge formalities.Patrick is very busy today, so you may have to go to Fisher Family alone later" Her tone was very natural.
When she said these words, her voice rose.
Christina didn't like it at all.
"Miss Parker, Patrick has been an old friend with you for many years.He should care about you..."
Christina did not hide her unhappiness.
"But you don't have to worry too much about us.Patrick will come back to pick me up no matter how busy he is."
At the end of the sentence, her tone went more serious.
Barbara got stunned by her firm tone but she didn't immediately refute.
lt would be too arrogant for others to say so.
Who dared be so sure of what Patrick would definitely do? But Christina was an exception.
Christina.
Barbara stood upright, suddenly looking at the Young Madam Patrick with complex eyes.
Why was she so proud? Irritated by the gaze, Christina stood up directly from the sofa.
Not wanting to see her sharp eyes, Christina turned her head.
Barbara had been in the business world for a long time, even her eyes were full of ruthlessness.
Christina also noticed that Barbara had changed into a printed light yellow sleeveless dress made of chiffon.
It was rare for her to wear so fresh and beautiful.
She also carried a beautiful gift bag in her right hand, as if she had just returned from a high-end shopping center.
"Miss Parker, if you have nothing else to do, please leave."
Christina was not willing to confront her head-on.
After all, she was a friend of Patrick and Charles.
She would not pretend even though she didn't like this woman.
"I'm actually here for you,"
Barbara was still there, not meaning to leave, with her face a little serious.
"Christina, I know you may not be happy about Crystal's affair.I'm so sorry about your friend, but the company has its own rules.She irritated Mr.Morris by saying something in public without authorization last night.We can't, just for a single employee..."
The more Christina listened, the darker her face became.
It was obvious that she had used Crystal as a cat's paw.
How dare she said such general principles.
Bah!
"Christina, don't worry.I promise you that Crystal's resignation will not affect her resume negatively, and I can help her with her next job..."
"You don't need to."
Seeing her cold face, Barbara stopped talking.
She slowed down her voice and handed over the exquisite gift bag in her right hand.
Then she still said in the same gentle tone, "Christina, take it."
Christina glanced at the gift bag.
It looked like something very expensive.But she didn't care.
"It was Patrick who asked me to buy it for you,"
Barbara had expected that she wouldn't accept it and explained like a considerate sister, "Patrick has only me as a female friend around him, so he can only ask me to bring you a little gift.Christina, please take it.It's all his regard."
Christina ignored her, but a murderous look appeared on her face.
She stared at the black gift bag printed with a string of golden Italian.
Very well, she was just a little annoyed at first, but now she was so angry that she wanted to swear.
Why should he find a woman to buy her a present? Let it alone, Why should it happen to be Barbara? Christina repulsed the gift more.
"Christina, actually, I was a little worried that you would blow a whisper with Patrick last night.Fortunately, you know how a company runs, otherwise, I really don't know how to deal with it.Mr.Morris's bill involves a lot.If Patrick really encounters something because of you..."
Unable to bear to hear it anymore, Christina grabbed the inexplicable gift bag from her hand quickly and replied with gritted teeth, "It's really his blessing that Patrick has such an outstanding employee like you."
"Yes, it's indeed not easy for me to work hard with him for so many years..."
Seeing her empty hand, Barbara felt uncomfortable because Christina accepted the gift crisply.
Even though the gift was prepared for her.
Her tone turned cold, said, "I'm not like you.You can only give him a child and help him with nothing."
In an instant, Christina's face tightened.
Barbara did not seem to see her dark face and continued, "IP&G group is indeed huge, but no one can guarantee it will always remain the king of profit.Today's IP&G Group is enough to pride the older generation without the foundation of Hopkins Family"
"We all see these achievements, but you will never know how much trouble Patrick has faced in this position.Even if you know, you can probably only prevent miscarriage at home.Christina, all you can do is not to disturb him."
"Patrick has been living tired.Little do you know him."
Little did she know him.
Indeed.
Christina stood still, staring at her with a numb expression without speaking for a long time.
"Barbara's here, too?"
The sudden noise outside the door broke the strange silence.
Christina turned around a little dully.
They came.
"We're here to pick up Christina and heading Fisher Family now.Barbara, what about coming with us?" Charles said casually.
"Patrick will come back to pick me up no matter how busy he is."
That's what she said just now.
Barbara's expression changed slightly with an embarrassment in her usually shrewd eyes.
She tried her best to speak naturally, "I'm not going to Fisher Family.I was drunk last night and I'm still dizzy now." Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
As she spoke, she paused as if she had thought of something and turned to another man.
Her voice went also heavy, "If you see him at the party today, please let me know."
"Yes"
Patrick answered, but he didn't look up at her.
As soon as he came in, he walked to Christina, as if he had noticed that the woman's collar was a little crooked.
He fixed it naturally with his slender big fingers.
Barbara's sight also fell on Christina's neck.
That faint kiss mark was really dazzling.
"Have fun today" Her expression was a little awkward as if she didn't want to see this scene, so she turned around and left directly.
Christina saw that Barbara was leaving so fast this time.
It was strange.
Christina couldn't even drive her away just now.
"Miss Parker, don't leave so fast.I have something to ask you..."
Christina shouted directly at her, "Miss Parker, are you really Derek's girlfriend?"
Hearing that, Barbara trembled slightly.
She hesitated for half a step, but she did not turn back and stop but continued to walk out.
