HONEY, Love Me One More Time novel Chapter 123

Gretchen felt indignant at the mention of this and continued, “What’s so good about Estelle? Why are Cristofer and Justin so infatuated with her? I really can’t understand it. She has already been the mother of two children, and her vagina must have been saggy as hell. Why does Justin want such a woman?”
Melody sneered and said, “Don’t be angry. You can also make Cristofer infatuated with you. You will win his heart if you give a man what he wants. Since Cristofer likes children very much, then all you need to do now is to get pregnant.”
“I had an ovulation induction injection yesterday. But Cristofer left not long after he went to my place. We didn’t have sex.” Gretchen said with a pale face.
“Actually, there are many ways to get pregnant. Here’s a bottle of medicine here. Find a way to let Cristofer drink it, and then you just need to...” Melody whispered in Gretchen’s ear.
When Gretchen heard her words, her eyes brightened. “Mom, are you sure this plan is feasible?”
“Sure. And only in this way can you get Cristofer back to you,” Melody said with a meaningful smile.

Cristofer was having a video conference in the meeting room at the Hans International Corporation.
On the screen, the general manager of a jewelry company in Europe was talking with him. 
Since Cristofer wanted to expand the market in Europe, the fastest way was to acquire small companies there.
The marketing department of Hans International Corporation had negotiated with the jewelry company over the purchasing price, and today they were likely to reach an agreement.
The jewelry company’s general manager stated many advantages of his company, trying to drive up the purchasing price.
However, no matter what he said, Cristofer just stared at the screen silently with a frown, looking very serious. Obviously, he was a little impatient and didn’t want to hear it any more.
Seeing him like this, the general manager was a little flustered. 
In fact, his company’s performance was very poor. But just now, to drive up the price, he had lied about the company’s turnover and yield rate.
‘Why doesn’t he say anything? Isn’t he going to purchase the company? Has he seen through my lies?’
Thinking about this, the general manager hurriedly said, “Mr. Hans, just forget what I said just now. We’ll close the deal at the original price. What do you think? There is no room for any reduction of price.”
With a cold expression, Cristofer sneered and said, “Are you sure?”
“Well, I...” the general manager stammered and broke out into cold sweat. “We’ll lower the price by five percent. That’s the bottom price.”
Hearing this, Cristofer didn’t even look at him at all, and his face was darkened with impatience.
When he was about to end the meeting, the general manager immediately stopped him, “Wait! Mr. Hans, I’ll lower the price by eight percent! Is that all right?”
“...”
“Ten percent! Mr. Hans, ten percent! This is the best we can do.”
Cristofer still kept silent.
All he was thinking about at the moment was what Estelle had said to him in the ward in the morning.
‘Why was she so ruthless? Her attitude toward me has totally changed in the past month. I have forgiven her for abandoning me and going abroad after the accident and have decided to let bygones be bygones and start over. Doesn’t she want me to go back to her all the time? Why does she suddenly change her mind and insist on breaking up with me?’
Seeing Cristofer absent-minded, Vincent pushed his elbow and said in a low voice, “Mr. Hans. Mr. Hans? Say something.”
Cristofer wrenched his mind back to the present and took a deep breath. Then he asked in a deep voice, “What’s the price now?”
“They’ve lowered the price by another ten percent,” Vincent answered.
The staff of the marketing department had been very good at negotiating, and the original price they had agreed on with the jewelry company was already very low. To their surprise, Cristofer actually closed the deal with a lower price and saved another twenty million dollars for their company. They all couldn’t help but marvel at his ability.
“Okay. Deal,” Cristofer finally nodded and said.
The general manager of the jewelry finally breathed a sigh of relief and then wiped the sweat on his forehead.
He had long heard that Cristofer was very excellent, but he didn’t believe it before and had thought that Cristofer had an undeserved reputation. 
But the video conference today made him realize how capable Cristofer was and had completely changed his previous impression of Cristofer.
After the meeting, the marketing department staff happily returned to their office to prepare for the acquisition.
Vincent then whispered to Cristofer, “Mr. Hans, were you... distracted just now?”
At this moment, Cristofer was not in the mood to work at all. With his head lowered, he rubbed between his eyebrows wearily and said with a frown, “Have you found Yohan? When will you bring Yohan back from Ameris?”
“Mr. Hans, Yohan has come back to Hadale with Miss Hudson’s lawyer,” Vincent said.
Cristofer immediately raised his head and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me about it before?”
“I didn’t even have a chance to talk to you before,” Vincent said with an innocent expression. “So many things have happened these days. At first, Miss Hudson was critically ill. And not long after that, Miss Yvonne had an accident. You’ve been busy in the hospital these days, and I couldn’t contact you.” 
“By the way, Miss Abrams called to look for you every day. I told her that I didn’t know where you were, but she didn’t believe me and even directly came to our company to question me.”
“She came to our company?” Cristofer frowned and asked. “When did she come?”
“If I recall correctly, she came here on the day when Miss Yvonne had an accident,” Vincent answered.
‘The day Yvonne had an accident?’ Cristofer suddenly realized something and stood up at once. Then he pulled Vincent into the elevator.
Taken by surprise, Vincent was pulled so hard that he almost lost his balance and fell. After entering the elevator, he steadied himself and asked, “Mr. Hans, what’s wrong?”
“Did Gretchen come here alone?” Cristofer asked.
“She came with her mother. Mr. Hans, her mother, is such a shrewd person. She scolded me harshly for almost half an hour that day.”
“Ding!” 
The elevator arrived at the top floor, and the two of them went back to the CEO’s office.
“Tell me what they did after they came that day. The more detailed, the better,” Cristofer said.
