"No, no!"
Geoffrey came home from school and heard that Crystal said that she was quitting her job.
Chandler was calm and he had not said anything yet.But Geoffrey rushed into the study.He shouted in
a childish voice and strongly objected.
Crystal turned to glare at him.Who asked for your opinion? Geoffrey ignored her and rushed over to
hug his father's thigh.
He raised his little head and his big bright eyes flashed, "Dad, the contract she signed stated that she
couldn't leave, right?"
Chandler raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Crystal meaningfully.
Crystal was helpless.
She was sure that Chandler was a profiteer! At first, she wanted to find out about the Hopkins family
and Patrick Hopkins for Christina, so she sacrificed herself and signed the contract without looking at it
carefully.
She sighed and said sincerely, "Well...I've already found a suitable job, so please don't make things
difficult for me."
"Do you find it difficult to be here?" Chandler suddenly asked.
Crystal looked up.Her eyes met his thoughtful eyes.She suddenly became embarrassed and she
turned her head slightly.She glanced around the study and didn't want to look at him.
Geoffrey seemed to be unable to accept it.
He was angry, "How can you get another man behind our back? What about my father and me?"
Seriously? Crystal stared blankly for a second.Facing the question of a child, she really didn’t know
how to answer him.
Geoffrey pulled a long face, twitched his lips, and hung down his head as if he was really unhappy.
Although he was only about six years old, he was usually very arrogant and sensible.Crystal did not
expect him to be so stubborn all of sudden.
In the end, it was unsettled.
When Crystal left, she looked back at the Stephenson family door with mixed feelings.
She used to stay here for Christina but now she didn't know who she stayed here for...She was wasting
her youth.She thought she was really stupid.She sighed and drove away.
"Why on earth do you insist on making this film?"
At this time, Christina, who was in Hongkong, had just finished shooting and was sitting dejectedly by
the fountain.
Charles Shepherd immediately ran over, gloated and asked her, "Did you do it for Patrick?"
Christina looked up expressionlessly and saw that he was smiling shamelessly.She gritted her teeth
and said to him in a gloomy tone, "Charles, do you want to take a shower in the fountain?!"
Charles felt a chill on his back.He quickly moved away from the fountain.
If he was thrown to the fountain by her, he would be shameful.
"You are ungrateful.Don't forget that if I hadn’t been secretly helping you, you, Miss Dickens, couldn't
have stayed here, hmph!"
Christina had not recovered from her cold and her mind was in a daze.
She looked at the man and said, "How do you want me to thank you, Mr.Shepherd?"
She emphasized the last two words.
"Well, let me think about it."
Charles Shepherd seemed to be thinking about it seriously, "Christina, you are not diligent nor
smart.Oh, it's really hard for you to repay me.He deliberately lengthened his pronunciation.”
"Then do you want me to marry you?"
Christina was angry.
Charles looked shocked and didn't say any word.Christina wanted to continue to satirize him but
suddenly the phone in her coat vibrated a few times.She thought to herself that Crystal was in a bad
mood this afternoon.
So she quickly took the phone to see if something was wrong.
However, when Christina saw the phone screen, her expression immediately became serious.It was a
text message from LUCY.
"Who texted you?"
Charles looked curiously at the screen of her phone.
Christina moved very fast.
She naturally covered the screen with her palm.
He noticed that the woman was alert and frowned slightly, her eyes full of uneasiness.
After a moment of silence, Charles said in a serious tone, "Hey, Christina, did something happen to
you?"
She was still sitting by the fountain.
Her phone had been turned off by her.
She lowered her head and suddenly said, "Charles, can you really help me get this endorsement?"
"The director said you were the worst of the four of them"
As he spoke honestly, he saw her expression and noticed that she was obviously hiding something.
Christina clenched her phone, left the fountain, and said, "I have a cold.I'll go back to the hotel to sleep"
Charles didn’t chase her either.
He just stared at her back as she walked away and made a call, "Help me check all the communication
records of a cell phone number: Christina returned to the hotel.
Perhaps because she had been troubled by too many things recently or she had caught a cold, she lay
on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
The hotel in the downtown of Hongkong was not easy to book.
The IP&G was in a hurry to shoot the advertisement, so Christina and the others didn't have enough
rooms.
The original single room had to be changed into a double room or suite.
Christina also knew that it was not proper for her to participate in this advertising shoot as an amateur,
but she had no choice.
She didn't want to rely on Charles every time.She also tried her best to study.She set the alarm clock
on her phone and didn't dare to sleep too long.
This suite was very big.
Christina lived with another model named Renee.
To be honest, Renee performed the best among them, but Renee was very ambitious and did not care
about this simple advertisement.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the director asked them to gather, so Christina woke up at seven
o'clock.
She was more energetic properly because she had slept for a while.She went into the bathroom to
wash her face.
Just then, a beep came from the door and someone swiped the door open.
Christina didn't care.She thought Renee was back.
"I heard before that they were going to leave this suite to Christina alone"
A woman said in a sharp voice and there was full of ridicule, "She is really capable."
It seemed that Renee not only came back on her own, but also brought other models.
"Do you think she will be selected to be the model of the advertisement?"
"This is unfair.No matter how Mr.Shepherd protects her, it's impossible for her to be selected.IP&G
values this new product very much, and such a big company won't choose the model casually..."
Christina could hear their conversation in the bathroom.
Feeling a little guilty, she quickly turned off the tap and pretended that she was not there.
Renee, who had not spoken much, suddenly smiled and said, "It would be hard to say if the boss
behind the scenes shows up."
The other woman seemed to be very angry, "It's useless.If she was really selected, I'll find a private
investigator to find out about her and expose her on the Internet.I want to see how she can continue to
work in this industry."
"The one from the Hopkins family has nominated her.What dare you say then?"
Renee's words implied something.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became lively, "You said IP&G..."
"It seems that apart from IP&G, he also owns a lot of property rights.
If someone really hooked up with him, she wouldn't have to worry for ten lifetimes, but it's hard to meet
him."
"What kind of woman do you think he would like?"
They chatted enthusiastically.
"Patrick grew up ina rich and powerful family.His temperament really can't be imitated."
The more she spoke, the more excited she became.
She lowered her voice, "He's really noble and cool.He has good genes, and he has a great figure.Once
I saw the strong muscles and chest of his upper body exposed in the pool of Fireworks Bar..."
The woman's voice became shy and they discussed in detail, "I wonder how he's doing in bed?"
"Oh, I know that."
Christina walked out of the bathroom and looked at the three stunned women in front of her.She had
planned to wait for them to leave before she walked out to avoid embarrassment.
But when she saw footsteps approaching the bathroom, she thought that it was better to come out first
than being caught.
