Female Novel
Chapter 424
The personnel manager was shocked by the scene. They should fight fiercely in the company.
All the staff worked on the same floor, some of whom noticed the fight. Part of them came to help the
internet celebrity, and the others led Christina and the manager out of the room.
"What are you doing? You are not hired to fight against your colleague!"
"And you, how can you stand aside and do nothing?"
Fury still flaming in her, Christina ignored those people and kept silent.
The personnel manager looked at Christina. He thought she was a professional fighter, and he had no
time to intervene in the fight. But he didn't dare to say that but born the scolding silently because he
didn't want to offend anyone in the workplace.
The internet celebrity didn't mean to call the police. With the department manager mediating between
the two sides, the thing finally drew to a close.
Crystal didn't know about the incident, because she went with some other employees to the storeroom
to look for last year's financial statements. At five o'clock in the afternoon, she and Christina got off
work.
Crystal used two hours to get acquainted with other employees. They walked side by side, talking and
laughing. Christina was alone in the corner of the office. When she looked up at Crystal, she felt kind of
sad.
"What's wrong?"
"Not used to working outside?" Crystal noticed that she was in low spirits and asked with concern,
"Don't want to be a network anchor? The personnel manager had to obey his leader's instructions. Did
he speak too harshly to you? Don't mind it. Or you can tell your problem to Charles." Crystal tried to
comfort her.
Christina didn't know what to reply. She thought she was a loser.
"I'll think about it," she said gloomily.
Crystal thought that Christina was considering resigning from the job. After all, she had the power to
fire the boss.
The Hopkins family sent a drive to pick Christina up. But she refused to get in the car and asked
Crystal to take her back.
Crystal had bought a car before she got married. While driving, she told Christina that colleagues were
only bound by interests, and there were many dirty deals between them. "It's normal to see old
employees bully newcomers. Just ignore them..."
Christina listened with patience. The more Crystal said, she felt more blue.
Arriving at the gate of Hopkins family, Christina suddenly asked, "Do you see a palm mark on my
face?"
Crystal was surprised by her question and looked closely at her face. "What happened?"
She would never think that Christina should be slapped by a woman for no reason within the two hours
of her absence.
Christina answered casually, "I met a madwoman." She sighed and got out of the car.
After she got home, Christina went to the nursery to play with the babies. Seeing the twins sucking on
the bottle, she smiled but was a little depressed.
"Quit the job if you're not happy there." Patrick walked towards her from behind.
She looked over to him, suppressing the complex feelings in her mind.
She avoided the question. "Are you done with your work?" The maid had told her that Patrick was not
going home for dinner tonight.
Though she was idle in the company, Patrick had always been busy with his large amount of work.
Maybe because she had something on her mind and Patrick looked at her eagerly, Christina wanted to
escape here. She got up and walked towards the main house, crying, "I'm hungry. Can we set up the
table in advance?"
But before she got out of the nursery, Patrick grabbed her right hand.
She didn't want to tell him what she had encountered this afternoon, so she said in her usual rude tone.
"Let me go. I didn't eat lunch. I'm hungry now."
Patrick said to her calmly, "Quit your job. We'll be busy these days. We have to make up a banquet and
take wedding photos..."
She was a little stunned hearing this.
They got married last year. But they did not hold a banquet or take wedding photos because she was
pregnant. She didn't care about these things, but wearing a wedding dress was a dream for every
woman.
"Grandpa had told me that it would take at least half a year to prepare for the banquet. But I don't need
to handle it by myself. I can continue to work..."
"They will get the things ready for our wedding ceremony. We're going abroad for our honeymoon."
Christina gave herself an excuse. "No more travels abroad. The last time I went to Switzerland, I was
hit by an avalanche. I have a bad fortune this year. I don't want to go abroad."
"I knew someone gave you a slap. Why do you insist on working there?"
Patrick lost his patience and glared at her. He was furious. "You are not allowed to go there again."
She was shocked. He should know it.
She lowered his head and whispered, "Actually, I didn't lose the fight."
In fact, that woman slapped her with not much strength, but she paid her back ten times more.
Christina was afraid that that woman would stay in the hospital for at least a week.
Patrick's eyes were still sharp. He didn't consider that at all.
Even he himself would curb the anger first and try kinds of ways to make her happy. How could an
unknown woman dare to hurt her?
Patrick said in a decisive tone. "If you continue to work there, I'll let it close down tomorrow!"novelbin
Christina looked up at his gloomy face secretly. He was in great fury.
The two of them remained silent for a while.
She suddenly said, "Actually, I had had the idea of wearing a wedding dress once for a long time."
She married twice. The first time was that she married Cory Hampton after graduation from college.
Even the Dickens family did not know about her marriage. There was no banquet and wedding
ceremony. Cory had saved her life. She was willing to wait for him even if he ignored her for three
years after the marriage.
The second time she married Patrick, there was no banquet and wedding ceremony, neither. She had
no chance to wear a white wedding dress.
Christina's voice was calm." Since I was a child, the Dickens family and the Eisenhower family have
paved the way for me. I walked down it without thinking. I used to be very stupid and naive, marrying
someone in return for his kindness. Crystal and I were of the same age, but my life experience was
nothing more than a piece of blank paper. These days we went to the interview, and I saw those fresh
graduates who were energetic and hardworking. I realized that I had missed a lot of opportunities to
grow up."
Patrick was fuming at the beginning. Hearing what she said, he looked at her more intently and was
gradually lost in his thought.
It was more of a shock because this was the first time he heard Christina say that she wanted to wear a
wedding dress.
Christina looked into his deep eyes. She knew that this man loved her very much.
She lowered her eyes and said in a low voice, "Patrick, you're an outstanding man... I want to be a
better myself." She wanted to be a good match.
