Chapter 301
It was Christmas eve, not April Fool’s Day.Christina had just put on light makeup in the bathroom
and was about to go out in new clothes.She glanced at her phone and suspected that it was a trick.
There was a weird message on her phone.
“Christina, this is Barbara Parker”
“I…I want to ask you out today.If you hear the voicemail, call me back”
After Christina played it several times, she was sure that it was indeed Barbara’s voice, who
sounded a little nervous.
She didn’t get along well with Barbara.So there was no need for her to meet Barbara.
Besides, a few days ago, Christina had a fight with Barbara’s best friend Erica.
Were they angry and looking for trouble again? Anyway, Christina’s first thought when she received
the message was to ignore it.
One should have spent the romantic Christmas eve with their boyfriend or husband.
As a single, Christina might not go out lonely during this festival.
However, Crystal seemed to be in a bad mood.
So Christina went out at her invitation, Christina shoved her phone, change, and credit cards into
her bag and walked out handsomely.
Before closing the door, she habitually glared at the ceiling and wondered what would Patrick do
tonight and thought maybe he would go on a yacht with Charles for several days.
Jerk!! As soon as she walked out of the gate and was about to call a taxi, she saw Barbara.
Barbara was standing across the road, staring at her with a serious face.
Christina paused, frowned, and looked at her.
Finally, she crossed the pavement and walked towards Barbara.
Christina never expected that Barbara would personally come to see her.
What did she want? Barbara felt relieved when she saw Christina walking towards her.
She had already guessed that Christina would not call her back given Christina’s personality.
Since the two of them were actually enemies, Christina felt a little ironic that they could sit in the
same car.
Half an hour later, the car slowly pulled up near the eastern shopping mall.
Christina’s beautiful eyebrows drew together even tighter.She didn’t know what Barbara wanted to
do.
“Barbara, I’m actually not interested in your business.Whether you want to talk about your work at
the IP&G Group or your help for Patrick, I’m not interested at all.”
Christina really didn’t like to stay in such a small space with Barbara, so Christina opened the door
and was about to leave.
Barbara was struggling in her heart.
Seeing that Christina was about to leave, she grabbed Christina’s wrist anxiously. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Christina, you must be interested in it.Don’t you want to know that day in the operating room…”
Barbara spoke so fast and even a bit unclearly.
“What operating room?” Christina reacted quickly at some special words.
“Barbara, what the hell do you want to tell me today?”
Christina stood outside the car, looking at Barbara sitting in the driver’s seat.
Barbara seemed hesitant under Christina’s gaze.
Barbara closed her mouth and stretched out her right hand silently.
Christina had known her for a while, but Christina had never seen such a mixed expression on her
face and even her right hand was trembling.
Then Barbara took a deep breath and unfolded her right hand.
A small black USB drive was in her palm.
“This…”
Barbara’s voice was hoarse for nervousness.
Christina did not reach out to take it but just looked at the change in her expression.
Barbara seemed to be afraid of something.
“What’s in this USB drive?”
“You want to give it to me?” Christina asked in a natural tone.
When Christina reached out curiously to get it, Barbara seemed frightened and unwilling.
Then she immediately withdrew her hand and clenched the small black USB drive in her fist.
Christina didn’t care too much about her taking back the USB drive since it belonged to her after all.
However, Christina noticed that Barbara turned stiff as if her nerves were tense.
“What’s wrong with you?”
Christina was not a heartless person.
Seeing that Barbara didn’t look right, Christina wondered she might feel so stressed at work that
something was wrong with her mind.
“It’s the company’s secrets.I’d better go to the Hopkins family to talk with grandpa”
Barbara said quickly in a very formal tone and drove away.
Standing in the middle of the bustling eastern square with Christmas music playing around her ears,
however, Christina wasn’t cheered up for some unknown reason and kept watching Barbara’s white
car until it disappeared.
Barbara was very smart and rational.She knew the balance of gain and loss clearly especially when
it came to businesses.
This was why she became a senior executive of the company at such a young age.She would not
do unprofitable business, nor would she pester herself with bad debts.
“What exactly did she want to say to me just now?” Christina wondered.
A gust of wind blew.
Christina stood still with her hair becoming a little messy.This winter seemed extremely cold.
