Chapter 280
"She's with Chandler"
Derek sent her to the gate of the community and told her about Crystal's current situation.
He wanted to tell her that she didn't have to worry about Crystal.
Christina was already outside the car, looking at his fair and handsome face through the window, and his dark blue eyes were crystal clear, which hid no secret behind them.
Derek seemed to be okay with her scrutiny.
As long as she wanted to stare at him, he would not shy away.
They looked at each other for three minutes.
"I'm going back" She said this, turned around, and walked towards the neighborhood.
The white Bentley was parked here until she disappeared from sight.
Ten minutes later, the lights in Apartment 402 turned on.
Derek regained his senses.
His blue eyes lowered slightly before he started the car and left.
Christina did not know what he was thinking.
She quickly returned to her haunted apartment and immediately changed her aqua blue strapless evening dress.
When she took the elevator upstairs, several residents she met looked at her with weird expressions.
After all, ordinary people really couldn't afford such an expensive dress, not to mention that she lived in such an ordinary neighborhood.
Christina angrily threw the clothes into the corner of the bathroom and stepped forward to kick them so hard that it was obvious that she was venting her anger.
"Damn it!"
[Which senior official are you going to sleep with, all dressed up? ]
The voice of that jerk lingered in her mind.She kept telling herself that she still had a lot to think about, including LUCY, Larry, Director Ann...Yes, she wanted to see her child the most.
She could do anything to hang on.
If LUCY didn't lie to her, if she really found the child, then...
if Patrick, that bastard, still couldn't remember her, then she didn't want him either! Bastard! Christina took a big garbage bag and wrapped up the expensive dress, as if she remembered that bastard the moment she saw it.Her heart was burning with anger.She was going to throw it away now.
"That woman in 402 is a little strange..."
In the elevator came two aunts who had just finished their aerobics.They were chatting happily.
"Yes, I think so too.She doesn't seem to like talking to people very much.Zamani, do you think she's the kind of woman who is kept by men..."
Christina looked up at them expressionlessly, but they were so focused on the talking that they completely ignored her.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense.Besides, we have no right to interfere with her career"
"That's right.It's possible for such a beautiful woman like her to be kept by men.Just don't bring some weirdos back.Then the background of our neighborhood will be quite complicated..."
She wanted to clarify this for herself, but then came the opening sound of the elevator.
The two middle-aged women walked out side by side.
Christina was expressionless.
She couldn't just keep them stay to listen to her explanation, right? They were still gossiping, "The new resident in 502 is even weirder"
Then the elevator door closed, leaving Christina alone in the narrow space.Suddenly, it was quiet, even a little chilly.The resident of Room 502? Christina's anger suddenly diverted by this.
When she returned to her apartment, she didn't seem so angry anymore.
She looked at the small balcony from time to time.
According to the rumors of the haunted house, even ordinary people could climb from 502 to 402 balcony.
She stood on the balcony.
The night was dark and the moon was blocked by thick clouds.There were only a few stars in the dark sky.
Christina looked up at the balcony of Room 502.
Since ordinary people could climb down, that meant that she could climb up too...
"What the hell is Christina doing?"
At this time, at the reception venue on the fourth floor of Gordon Hotel, Crystal was wearing this expensive dress.
She stood awkwardly in a corner and looked at the handsome men and women at the venue raising their glasses and laughing.She looked helpless.
"Miss Zhu, hurry up and eat.It's all yours."
A handsome figure approached her.
Chandler ridiculed her with his gentle voice, and he pointed to the food area on the left side of the venue.
Crystal glared at him expressionlessly. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'm not in the mood to eat now"
"If you're not in the mood to eat, then why are you here?"
Crystal was stunned and she could not refute it.
They had planned to come over and eat as much as they wanted, but that woman, Christina, stood her up.
"I'd better go."
She was a little discouraged.
A place like this was not suitable for her.
But Chandler was unhappy.
He narrowed his eyes and scolded, "Miss Zhu, you just left like this?"
"You used me, Now you don't want to be responsible for this!"
This tall man took a big step towards her.There was only one punch between the two of them.He looked down at her with his sharp eyes.
Crystal was stunned and her thin face was already flushed.
"You, don't talk nonsense."
Crystal was so panicked that she rambled.
Seeing her panicked look, Chandler lowered his head and leaned closer to her, maintaining his cold tone.
"Oh, then who begged me to bring her in just now?"
"Well, that was just because...I only know you."
"Miss Zhu"
Chandler interrupted her coldly and asked her seriously, "What do you think of this? I brought you to the venue, and then you ran away.I don't have a female companion.What would others say? I would lose face, right?"
"Well, I..."
"It's surprising that you, Crystal Zhu, are an ungrateful woman."
Chandler straightened up and looked disappointed in her.
Crystal Zhu's face was twisted because of anger and she glared at his cold back.Damn it, did the whole world think I was a pushover!
"Crystal Zhu...Miss Zhu, you're here too"
When Barbara saw her with Chandler, her voice was filled with surprise.
Crystal was a very adaptable person.
Since her heartless boss didn't let her go first, she went to eat.
She had just scooped up a large plate of seafood from the buffet area and was about to find a place to sit down and eat, but she bumped into an "enemy."
"Hello-"
When Crystal saw her, she forced out a decent smile and looked calm.
This was a party held by IP&G, and it was natural that Barbara Parker was present.
However, when Crystal saw the other woman beside Barbara, she could not calm down.She looked at Erica's face with exquisite makeup in astonishment.
For some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Erica was wearing a long red dress with a tight v-neck tonight.Her fiery figure was perfectly shown.She raised her eyebrows and even her gaze was very charming.
At this moment, Erica was staring at her with an indifferent expression, as if she was thinking of something.
Erica did not speak, but Crystal was uncomfortable.She put the plate in her hand on the nearby table and looked anxiously for help.
"Did you come with Chandler?" Barbara's eyes fell on her expensive dress.
The clothes of such an expensive brand were definitely not affordable for ordinary employees like Crystal.
With a routine smile on her face, she asked with care.
"Yes."
Crystal was very frank, but Erica looked at her even more harshly.She pursed her lips timidly and did not want to speak.
"Go get another plate yourself"
When Crystal Zhu heard the familiar gentle voice, she looked up at her boss, quite moved.
However, Chandler actually ignored Erica and Barbara.
Maybe he didn't let her leave early because he knew that his ex-wife was coming and he wanted to irritate her? No wonder he said he wouldn't attend the party before, and suddenly he changed his mind and came.
Thinking of this, Crystal Zhu felt a little depressed, thinking that she was just a tool, but she then saw this man sitting down and eating her large plate of cheese lobster.
Crystal frowned and almost subconsciously lectured him, "Hey, you have a stomachache.Don't eat so much seafood."
"The fried rice at home is too salty.You want to make me starve, right?"
Chandler did not look up, as if he was really hungry.
Ignoring these ladies, he ate elegantly.
Barbara watched from the side and wanted to say something, but Chandler's attitude was obvious that he did not want to talk to them.
She felt a little awkward for a moment, and Erica's expression was extremely gloomy.
"Chandler, can I have a word with you? Erica has something she wants to tell you..." Barbara still said it, but Chandler acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
He immediately got up and left with Crystal Zhu, who was in a daze.
"Your home-cooked food is better.Go back and get me another pot of fried rice."
Crystal Zhu was not stupid.
The man was obviously ignoring his ex-wife, so she obediently followed him.
"Are you really not going back?"
As soon as she walked out of the hall, she couldn't help but ask.
She clearly saw the hesitation and reluctance in Chandler's eyes.He probably still loved her.
