Chapter 288

Christina was taken back to the hotel.

Outside the dim car window, a chill wind blew, announcing the arrival of winter.She remained in silence

all the way.

Through the rearview mirror, the assistant who was driving carefully saw her clutching her phone with

an uneasy look.

When she got out of the car, the assistant hesitated and reminded, “Miss Dickens, if it is convenient to

you, please call Mr.Shepherd.”

Charles, his immediate superior, told him to drive her to the hotel.

He guessed that they were at odds.

“Give him back his coat.”

Christina stood outside the car and did not respond to him.

Instead, she took off a man’s suit and threw it back into the car.novelbin

The assistant took the coat with an uneasy look.

“Miss Dickens, if you need anything else, call me anytime…” stammered the assistant, but Christina

was out of his sight.

He sighed, not daring to chase after her.

“Christina is indeed different from those three models…”

She stood out in her temperament among Charles’s ex-girlfriends.

He was astounded by her arrogance, thinking that she seemed to be spoiled.

She was not good at socializing at all.

In particular, the other women didn’t like her.

But he was surprised she didn’t seem to care about it.

The assistant was curious how she developed such a character.

Christina knew very well that she was unlikable among girls.

So at this moment, when the two female models in front of her walked towards her enthusiastically and

even held her hand, the first thing came to her mind was that they might have ulterior purposes.

“Christina, you just came back? It’s a pity you didn’t have dinner with us tonight…Your hands are so

cold.Come into our room” Invited for no reason, she did not resist and was dragged into her “Best

friend’s room” by her two colleagues.”

“Would you like black tea or coffee?”

“She caught a cold a few days ago.Make her hot cocoa…”

It was not until Christina took the hot cocoa in her hand that the temperature of the hot cup made her

concentrate a little.

She stared at the them for a long time before she made sure that it was not her illusion.

“Thank you” she said.

Then she quickly recalled if she had lost her memory, because twelve hours ago, the two women said

they hated her with disgust.

When did her become so popular? “Christina, in fact, you have a good character.You’re not gossipy

and never compete for anything…”

“That’s right.Unlike some scheming bitch!”

Hearing this, Christina probably understood that they were pointing at Renee.

“Do you know how shameless Renee is tonight? She dared to walk to Patrick table by herself.She sat

next to him.Director Parker put a long face at that time…”

Christina took a sip of the hot cocoa, lowered her head, and replied them merely a word.

One of them sitting on the bed scolded excitedly, “In the end, Patrick left with Renee holding her his

arms.She took advantage of everything.Renee, the bitch, really showed me what a frenemy is.Before

we went to have dinner, she hypocritically reminded us not to get close to Patrick and said that he

hated women the most…”

Christina, who had been unresponsive, looked up upon hearing that.

“Patrick left with Renee?”

“I was pissed off.I had an impulse tell everything about Renee’s ungraceful things.She thought she

would become Patrick’s woman if she slept with him.It’s disgusting.”

Christina put the hot cocoa on the table, feeling very complicated.

“Damn it, it’s disgusting that I treated her as one of my best friends and told her everything.”

The woman was speaking with indignation when her cell phone rang.

She excitedly went to the bathroom to talk about it in detail, leaving no chance for Christina to speak .

“Poor taste”

She was not very good at quarreling.

Christina scolded her in a low voice.She wondered if he had forgotten her and even his taste changed.

When they got married not long, she had thought that Patrick would probably cheat on her.

It was common for a rich and powerful man…

But later she found that he was rarely involved in any scandals.

What the model said frustrated her.She was so annoyed.

“Hey, Christina, why do you look so much like Cecilia?”

Another model seemed to be interested in her.

“You know Cecilia, she was so popular in the first half of the year, and the only one who was said to

have an affair with Patrick.”

“Are you related by blood? Or have you had plastic surgery based on her? You’ll be regretful.She’s

having a hard time right now.Television companies won’t use her…”

“Hey, where are you going?” she shouted at the door.

“I’ll go first”

Christina just wanted to get out of here.

As soon as she left the room, the woman in the bathroom came out and exclaimed, “I just got a call and

I have good news!”

“Where’s Christina?”

“She doesn’t want to hang out with us.” She said sarcastically, “Who does she think she is? Charles

has so many women around him.He can get rid of her anytime”

Christina closed the door with no expression on her face.

“Leave her alone.You know what.It turns out that Renee was left on the side of the road.Patrick drove a

black Ferrari himself and left without waiting for her to get in the car.She must be so embarrassed…”

Ablack Ferrari.

“Patrick drove his black Ferrari.”

Christina suddenly opened her eyes in a daze.

She realize that she had taken a nap after returning to the hotel last night, but she had been having

nightmares, and the conversation between the two female colleagues echoed in her dream.

Last night, she saw a black Ferrari in Temple Street.Was is a coincidence?

“Miss, are you feeling unwell?”

The stewardess’s sweet voice came.

The crew was in a hurry to arrive at the airport early in the morning.

Everyone was taking a nap on the plane.

Christina was startled and woke up with a pale face.

“I’m fine.I’ll go to the bathroom.”

She got up and walked to the bathroom.She wanted to sober up with cool water, only to see Charles.

“Christina, don’t think you can get away by playing deaf”

As Charles approached, he glared at her and said, “Tell me, who have you been in contact with

recently?”

They chartered a plane back to A City, and Charles was on the same plane as her.

Christina, who was not in a mood to talk about it, bypassed him and went straight to the bathroom.

However, Charles blocked her way and said through gritted teeth, “Christina, this is not just about you.If

you get into big trouble, it will be difficult to deal with!”

Trapped by his arms, she raised her head and said in a low voice, “Things won’t get worse.”

Charles did a double take.

Then he roared angrily, “What do you mean?”

How terrible it was now.She did not explain, but a surprised scream came from the bathroom aisle.

“Wow, look at them…”

When the crew members saw them who were so close to each other, they dashed away.

Christina, who was embarrassed, gave him a push.

“Charles, stay away from me.”

“Oh, why didn’t you say it when you wanted to take advantage of me?”

Charles seemed to suddenly realize that they were too close, so he immediately let go of her.

“Charles, I’m serious.Stay away from me from now on”

She said coldly, grasping her phone in her right hand.

She lowered her head to avoided meeting his eyes.

Her words sent a chill to Charles’ heart.

He glanced at her clenched phone and said, holding back his anger, “What did those people order you

to do again? Do you know something?”

There was a silence between them.

After a long time, she replied, “I don’t know.”
