It was Brianna's first day at work, so the servants in Hopkins family set a schedule for her. She arrived at the company five minutes early. Everything went well.
However, Christina had called in sick and did not come to the company today.
"Is she sick?"
"I don't know. She just called in sick since she didn't feel well today. Maybe she went on a business trip before and stayed up late, so she broke down and got a cold."
After the business trip with colleagues, Penny and Rachel became Christina's friends. They were concerned for Christina when they heard that she was off sick.
Crystal, Christina's best friend, let out a sigh.
Crystal knew her physical fitness very well. It was impossible for Christina to fall ill because of that, so she probably skipped work.
"She pretended to be sick?" Crystal was muttering to herself, "What is Christina doing at home..."
Crystal's colleagues got along well and chatted happily. The company only had a staff of about twenty. Everyone was busy working while gossiping about the stars.
On the other side of the office, it was very quiet.
Bill, the manager, personally welcomed the new employee, Brianna.
Although Bill briefly said Brianna was an intern, everyone could tell from his flattering actions that nepotism was the reason why she could work here.
The experienced employees were sophisticated in the workplace. They knew they'd better have a neutral attitude towards Brianna at first. Only when they got familiar with her character and background, could they know what they should do.
Therefore, Brianna sat in her office, and no one talked to her all morning.
It was almost lunchtime when Bill suddenly walked towards her.
He asked in a low voice. "Brianna, do you know if Christina is seriously ill? Did she see a doctor? Did anyone accompany her to the hospital..."
It seemed that he was concerned for Christina.
Although he didn't know Christina's background, he saw Charles sitting directly in Christina's office chair as soon as he arrived at the company yesterday. Therefore, Charles must have a close relationship with her.
Moreover, Christina and LUCY, the female representative of IP&G Group, seemed to be very familiar with each other. When Christina and Miss Hopkins left, Charles accompanied them. Therefore, Bill was eager to seize the opportunity to care about his subordinates in his own interests.
"My sister-in-law is not sick," Brianna said in a very low voice.
Brianna stared timidly at the documents on the table. She seemed nervous when talking with a stranger and did not look up at him.
Bill was stunned.
First of all, he never thought that Christina would lie.
Secondly, Miss Hopkins actually called Christina "Sister-in-law." What was their relationship?
Crystal also called Christina several times during lunch and sent messages on WhatsApp, but Christina didn't reply, which made her a little anxious.
"Hello, I'm Christina's friend. My name is Crystal Zhu..."
Crystal was nervous during lunch, so she used her trump card after thinking for a long time.
She decided to call the Hopkins family directly.
The landline number was an extension in the Eastern Garden of the Hopkins family. Nanny Faang answered with a kind and respectful attitude. "Hello, Mrs. Stephenson."
Christina had few friends. Everyone in the Hopkins remembered Christina's relatives and friends. Moreover, Crystal was Chandler's wife now, so Nanny Faang called her Mrs. Stephenson respectfully.
Crystal was unaccustomed to it. Common people like her wanted to flinch from the etiquette of the Hopkins family.
She smiled awkwardly and got to the point. "May I ask if Christina is at home now?"
"Junior Mrs. Hopkins left at 7 o'clock in the morning. She drove by herself..." Nanny Faang told her truthfully.
Hearing this, Crystal grasped her phone and became more worried.
Christina suddenly skipped work and even lied to people of the Hopkins family.
