It was 6 o'clock in the morning.After Christina woke up, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror for a
long time, being absent-minded.
She tied up her long curly hair, turned her body sideways, and stretched her neck so that she could see
some clear marks on her skin in the mirror.
She gently stroked them and felt nothing.These marks were like hickeys.Her frown even deepened.
Suddenly, a sense of vigilance rose in her heart.
She immediately turned around and ran out of the small living room.She carefully observed the rooms
in the small apartment.She locked the doors and windows last night so she was the only one in the
apartment.She didn't feel unwell but she was a little dizzy.She turned to look at a bottle of
antidepressants on the coffee table.
Any such psychoactive medicine would have side effects, such as hallucinations, temporary memory
loss, brain dullness, and even an effect on the rhythm of the heart caused by overdoses.
Christina was not sure how the "marks" on her neck and earlobe were caused.
Maybe it was because of the medicine, or maybe she had pressed something on her neck before she
went to bed and didn't remember it.
The doors and windows were closed for the whole night, and the heating was on all the time in winter.
Especially in this small apartment, it seemed a little stuffy when the air was not circulated.
Standing in the middle of the living room, she was a little dazed and looked around the terribly quiet
space again.
Even her breathing became difficult, and the oppressive feeling in her heart was very irritating.
It was easy to daydream and desire to get rid of the predicament in the closed space.
She turned the door and rushed out.
The temperature difference between inside and outside made her shiver all over.The cold winter also
made her feel much soberer as well as security in an instant.
But soon, Christina found that she had stepped on something.She looked down and was surprised for
two minutes.
It was a bright red rose.She ran out barefoot.
Her skin had always been very fair.
When she stepped on the red flowers, the red color was rather obvious.
She bent down to pick it up with mixed feelings.
The thorns on the rose were carefully removed.
"Who put it here?"
Who would put a rose in front of her apartment? Ascene flashed through her mind at once.
Last night at the East Mall, a little girl was selling flowers to her.Such flowers were the same as this
rose.
Christina had a gloomy expression.
She held the rose tightly until a petal fell gently.She took a deep breath, turned around, and entered the
room.
After changing her clothes, she went out again.
At 9am, Christina received Crystal's call.
Crystal asked her on the phone if she wanted C City's specialties.
"I'm in C City now.Why did you go to the hospital at Christmas? Are you sick?"
She heard the medicine-taking broadcast on the hospital radio.
"I wandered around the square for a while last night, then I caught a cold and had a fever"
"Is the fever serious?"
"Don't worry.It is not serious."
Christina's tone was so calm that Crystal stopped getting worried.
"I'm in line to pay the bill.It's almost my turn.I'll talk to you when I'm free"
So the call ended.
Crystal thought for a moment.
Christina's tone was normal.Thinking of her stubborn character, would Christina go to the hospital with
a common cold?
"What happened?"
Crystal was startled when a figure suddenly approached her.She looked up at the man in front of her
and was dumbfounded for half a second.
"Why, why are you in my room?"
Chandler looked at her frightened expression and shrugged indifferently.
"Exactly.Do you think I slept on the road last night?"
"You slept with me last night?!"
Crystal was even more frightened.She raised his voice and her tone became a little shrill.
"Chandler, you pervert, you came to my room for no reason.."
Feeling that the following words were a little awkward, she shut up.
"Why are you so nervous?"
The perpetrator was not ashamed at all.
Chandler looked at her blushing face with an interest, and then Chandler smiled like a polished
scoundrel.
"Miss Zhu, are you afraid that I fuck you?" Crystal was petrified.
This shameless guy actually said such words!
"What the hell did you do last night..."
Crystal trembled angrily.
Chandler kindly explained to her, "I went downstairs last night to book another room, but the hotel told
me that there was no available room at Christmas"
"There was no available.Why didn't you tell me first?"
Chandler saw that she seemed to be irritated.
He sighed.
"I did it for taking care of you."
Glaring at the man, Crystal gritted her teeth.
No one would believe that this scheming man was so kind!! Chandler raised his eyebrows and asked
bluntly, "If I told you last night that I wanted to share a suite with you, would you be able to sleep?"
Crystal was bemused.
She was very unwilling that she couldn't refute Chandler every time.
If Chandler was in the suite with her late at night, of course, she couldn't sleep!
"In such a big suite, you have occupied such a big double bed by yourself.I didn't cram with you last
night.I just slept on the sofa."
Chandler spoke in a serious tone with a little grievance.
At the end of his words, he added, "Miss Zhu, don't worry.I won't fuck you"
Crystal stared at his gentle and handsome face.
How could this man speak so viciously? Damn it! Early in the morning, Crystal, who had always been
very well-educated, wanted to swear.
If she spent an extra second with this man, she would go mad.
From the first day Crystal met him, Mr.Stephenson was such a character.
What a polished scoundrel! Few people knew the true features of Chandler's evil taste.
Looking at Crystal, a soft woman, who dared not speak out, he was instantly in a very happy mood.
Naturally, he and pinched Crystal's face with his big hand.
"Miss Zhu, don't be gloomy.We're going to see the client later.Come on, smile."
Sure enough, even Crystal's face was soft.
Crystal's expression turned even sullen.
She felt this man was even more childish than his son.
Yesterday afternoon, she left the neighborhood and was going shopping with Christina in East Square.
Then she met Chandler in the garage.
Chandler was standing next to her car.
At that time, Crystal was surprised and embarrassed because when she was fired by Chandler a few
days ago, she ran away crying.He said that Geoffrey was sick and lost his temper to see her.
Maybe Chandler's expression was too serious at that time, so she really followed him foolishly.
When they arrived in C City, she realized that she had been deceived.
Chandler told her in a strange tone, "I didn't handle it last time properly.Geoffrey likes the Christmas
present you gave him."
Crystal didn't expect him to apologize.She thought about it seriously.
They were adults.
And when some things happened, it was difficult to tell who was right or wrong.
"Why did you trick me into C City?" Chandler took it for granted.
"I don't have a holiday at Christmas.I want to meet a client here."
Crystal gritted her teeth and wanted to scold him that it was none of her business.
Every time she felt that she was reasonable to scold him, Chandler would tell her calmly.
"Miss Zhu, from what I know about you, you don't want to spend money on yourself even if you are
rich, so I apologize for my rudeness last time, I will afford your cost of a one-day trip to C City, the most
expensive food and the presidential suite."
Chandler mocked in another way that Crystal was so poor that she probably would never have a
chance to enjoy it in her life.
