Christina asked for a month's leave from the company. On Monday, she returned to the company and was given the cold shoulder.
"Does she think it's her own company so she can ask for leave whenever she wants?"
"If she is rich, then she could choose not to come to work. Asking for such a long leave casually made a lot of troubles for the company... She will only cause trouble."
Crystal immediately rushed over and dragged her to the pantry when seeing Christina. "You didn't reply to my message. Chandler said that you were busy these days..."
"I found Derek," Christina told her truthfully. "He's also the boss of this company."
"Ah?"
Crystal was in a daze for a moment. "Derek?"
Crystal wondered why Christina mentioned Derek and he was also the boss of this company?
Crystal came to her senses thinking no wonder the company gave priority to the two of them. It turned out that they got their jobs because of Derek.
"I haven't been sleeping well lately. People in the Hopkins family thought I was mentally weak and asked me to take medicine and see a psychiatrist every day..." Christina complained to her friend Crystal.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why did you see a psychiatrist? What's wrong?"
Crystal was really surprised who thought Christina was just idle at home, not expecting so many things to happen.
"I'm fine." Christina muttered angrily.
Anyway, after Christina threw the ancient coin out of the bedroom, she never touched it again. That coin talked nonsense, making people think that Christina was mentally ill.
As for why only she could hear the voice, Christina no longer wanted to figure it out.
The manager of the company did not blame Christina for not working at all. He even told her with a fawning smile that it was not busy at all, besides, it was understandable that she had to deal with something in the family because the company leaders had always been very concerned about employees.
Others looked at Christina with hatred, which made her very awkward.
Penny was also a little angry at her for asking for a month's leave for no reason and the manager should let her be. So Penny put a large stack of documents on Christina's desk and said with anger, "These are the proposal files you need to finish. Our team will have a meeting tomorrow..."
"All of them?"
"The team leader said that you must finish all. The company doesn't welcome useless people like you. Don't drag us down." Penny told her that expressionlessly and after that, she turned around and left.
Christina frowned, "Did they deliberately make things difficult for me?"
"You can just read the latest two files... The team leader arranged some projects for you before, because you didn't come to work for a month, so they were delayed..." Crystal leaned closer to her ear and said, "If your team leader complains to you, just ignore it. Don't refute. Or, you will be hated."
If one wanted to work in a company to make money, one had to obey the rules, otherwise, one would get fired.
"Then again, does Patrick really agree that you continue to work in this company?" Crystal couldn't help but gossip.
Christina sat on her chair, ready to flip through the pile of documents. She raised her head to look at Crystal and asked, "Why would he not agree with me to work?"
"Well, just now you said that Derek is the boss of this company..." Crystal felt that it was not good to make it too clear as the relationship between men and women was complicated.
Christina didn't care, continued to work, and said, "Peter is also the boss of this company."
Crystal was depressed wondering that Christina did not understand what she meant at all.
"I mean... Chandler mentioned that Patrick doesn't seem to be in a good mood." Crystak had made it very clear. Wasn't Patrick jealous?
"Patrick, he's fine."
Christina put it bluntly and told Crystal instead, "Chandler and I did not get along well with each other recently... Because I suspected that he and others had hit Derek before, but Chandler and Charles said they did not and blamed me for doubting them. Anyway, I won't go to the Stephenson family to look for you for the time being before they find out who hurt Derek so badly lest we meet awkwardly..."
Crystal gave her a confused expression.
"Did they really hit Derek?"
Christina was about to say, "Maybe not" when a tall figure came out of the reception room. Charles was in front of them with a serious look and gritted his teeth, "I told you, we didn't beat him!"
Christina deliberately ignored him, snorted, and then continued to work to read the project documents.
"Christina, no wonder you are so unpopular." Charles saw the pile of documents on her desk and knew that she was ostracized by her colleagues... "People are more willing to be with Brianna. Reflect on yourself, you are bad-tempered."
Brianna worked in the company for a month and was assigned some clerical work to check if there were any omissions in the contract. It was a very easy job. Her colleagues often talked or smiled at her when handing over the documents. Although Brianna did not speak anything, she would nod at them as a response.
Christina looked at Brianna who quietly lowered her head and typed on the keyboard. Brianna looked like a little girl, innocent and obedient...
Christina didn't expect Brianna to really get along well with others in the company.
"... Christina, you really work in my company."
A voice interrupted her. Peter changed into a black suit and leather shoes, looking elite and handsome, and he also said in a naturally gentle tone.
Peter teased her with a smile. "The company actually hired you, Maneki Neko."
"Peter."
Christina and Peter were not familiar with each other, but he greeted her warmly, so she accordingly replied in her way.
Christina was a straightforward woman and asked, "Peter, do you remember what happened before?"
"Not yet." Peter told her sincerely.
He patted her on the shoulder. "However, I have a feeling that Derek helped me a while ago, as if I could survive because he tried his best to save me."
She didn't expect Peter to say that. "Really?"
"Peter, don't coax her. It was Derek who asked for your help. Why did he help you in turn?" Charles couldn't stand it any longer and retorted immediately.
Peter turned around and glared at Charles coldly. "You, shut up."
As the oldest one, Peter had a more intimidating than his younger brothers, besides, Charles was often punished.
