My billionaire husband spoils me too much novel Chapter 458

Although she was late, Christina still went to the company.

When she arrived, the colleagues in the company naturally gave her an attitude, as she had been running late and asking for leave all the time. However, the manager still smiled flatteringly at her. Coincidentally, Peter was also in the company and asked her to go to his office.

As soon as Christina entered the office, Peter talked to her about work-related matters straight away.

"Christina, some organizations have approached us for cooperation recently. It's about agricultural projects to support farmers in rural areas. Those companies wanted to help the farmers sell products like oranges and pears online directly, which would bring those rural families more income, so I am wondering if you could be the host of the live broadcast."

Christina was a little surprised and interrupted him, "Peter, I might not be suitable for this job."

"These projects are mainly for public welfare. We don't take any commission from them, and it is only a good deed. Of course, this can improve our reputation in the industry, so in fact, it is a win-win."

Peter was indeed a workaholic. He kept talking and tried to convince her, "Didn't you accompany Patrick to the charity party a few days ago? I saw that those socialites recommended you as the chairman of the charity. Although the nature of the work is different, this job is also for the public interest."

"Also, as for the IP&G Group's following project, the diamond exhibition in South African, I am thinking of asking you to take charge of it. I'm sure it will broaden your horizons, and you can also experience something different in the new environment."

Christina felt a little awkward, "Peter, I might need to quit this job."

Obviously, Peter didn't know that Patrick had called and submitted the resignation for her.

Peter frowned and said, "The Hopkins family don't want you to work anymore?"

Of course, Peter knew the rules of these rich families. It was just that the Shepherd family had always been open-minded and disdained the practice of confining women to their homes to only give birth to and take care of their children as nannies. He had just thought of giving more new projects to Christina so that she could learn more.

Christina smiled awkwardly and shrugged, "I don't think I'm suitable for working office hours either. I'm not a competent employee."

Peter stood up, patted her shoulder, and explained, "There's no need to be so rigid. You don't have to stay in the company and work every day. No matter which company and industry, the most important thing is that you can bring about good results."

Since he had finished talking about the work, Peter slowed down the speed of speaking. He went to the cabinet and took out some black tea among his collections.

"I heard from Charles that you like black tea very much."

Peter made the tea himself and washed the cups professionally.

"My grandfather likes black tea." Christina had this habit because of her grandfather.

Peter poured her a small cup of clear golden tea and said casually about his family. "I was forced to drink black tea at first. When I was a child, my brothers and I liked drinking Coke very much. My father thought of a way to play games with us. If we lose, we can only drink tea. I haven't won since then." Christina smiles, and the smell of tea permeates the office.

Christina looked at the gentle smile on Peter's face and instantly felt that if only she had a brother.

"I thought you were like Charles, who is like a wild monkey that can't sit still. If you quit and stay at home all day, wont' you be bored?" What Peter had talked about was Christina's concern indeed.

Christina did not say anything, and Peter did not persuade her anymore. After all, it was a family matter and it was not appropriate for him to interfere.

"Although we are friends, you still need to comply with the company policy. Even if you want to resign, you have to stay until we find the right person to replace you. It will take about a month before you can officially resign. And you don't have to come to work if it is not necessary."

Christina nodded sullenly, "Okay, thanks."

Seeing that she was unhappy, Peter said with a smile, "Patrick should be very busy. If you feel bored, just go to hang out with Charles. He has nothing to do all day."

Christina did not go to see Charles, and there was nothing to do in the company since she had to wait until they found a new host and handed her work over. Christina gloomily went back to the Hopkins family.

Christina had been so obedient these days that she didn't even step out of the gate of the Eastern Garden.

During this period, the maid at home secretly reported to her that Ms. Hopkins's foot injury was confirmed to be a fracture.

The condition of the injury wasn't that serious. Her foot was in a cast, and she probably wouldn't be able to walk for three months. However, she still wailed in the VIP ward of the hospital, complaining about how miserable she was.

Now, whenever Ms. Hopkins met someone, she would say it was Christina who caused her injury, and she also said that she did not dare to go back to the Hopkins family, as she was afraid she would lose her life.

Christina was not in the mood to visit her at all, "It's just a good time to have a rest." She thought.

At the moment, each of them stuck to their own versions. Christina insisted that she didn't hurt Ms. Hopkins, but Ms. Hopkins persisted that it was Christina's fault.

Although there was no conclusion yet, others still faintly held prejudice against Christina.

Patrick had been abroad over the week, and his work schedule was tight. Christina rarely called him. First, she didn't like to disturb others, and second, she didn't know what to say.

Maybe it was because Christina was so disciplined that Nanny Faang felt sorry for her, so Nanny Faang asked her if she wanted to go out for a walk. It was not good for her to stay home all day.

"If you don't mind, I've always wanted to go to a place," Christina said with self-deprecating.

She received a text message from Larry, and it was about Derek.

"If you still think I am your friend, please visit me at Derek's apartment." Obviously, Larry was mad at Christina, so he sent her a message in a huff.

Of course, Nanny Faang didn't say anything and just watched Christina drive out alone, wondering if she should report Christina's itinerary to Senior Mr. Hopkins or Patrick.

"Just tell them I'm going to a bachelor's apartment!" Christina had been too depressed recently. She was so angry and shouted at Nanny Faang to sort of vent her anger.

She really hated the feeling of being watched 24/7.

Larry gave her the address, and Christina rushed over there.

"Derek has been very slow in reaction recently, and I suspect that he is gradually losing his sense of taste. The food I gave to him today was too salty, but he didn't sense that all at."

Outside the apartment, Larry lowered his voice to tell her some facts. Although his voice sounded energic enough, she could still feel the worry in his tone.

"Losing the sense of taste?" Christina was surprised to hear this, and at the same time, she also felt worried.
