"Hurry up here.My father is going out later and you won't see him..."
Geoffrey shouted loudly and hung up the phone in an agile manner.
Crystal was a little embarrassed for his words implied that her relationship with Chandler was unusual.
In this way, she was tricked to go to Chandler's house by a five-year-old kid.
The Stephenson family was a family of scholars for generations, and their house looked less magnificent than the Hopkins family's house.
It was located in the western suburbs of A City with a tranquil and fresh environment.
The chinese courtyard building.
Standing outside the retro-style door, she hesitated for a while and knocked on the door.
It was said that Chandler's grandfather was once a tenured professor in Princeton before he died, but at that time, during the national turmoil, his grandfather gave up everything and resolutely returned back home to support his country, making a major contribution to the backward scientific research at that time.
Chandler's parents were also professors at famous universities.
Crystal stood outside the door and waited.She was imagining if there would be a line of well-trained maids opening the door for her and welcoming her.
It turned out that she was thinking too much.
She kept knocking on the door and no one came for her.
Finally, she found a communication button on the upper right side of the door, and then she rang the bell despondently.She didn't expect that the retro courtyard was equipped with modern technology.
Finally, she heard footsteps approaching, and the heavy door was opened with a click.
Then she looked at the man in front of her in surprise.
Crystal was too shocked to greet and stared at him in a daze.
"Are you lost your way?"
Chandler felt that this woman was a little bit strange.
He had met her several times before, so he knew that she was Christina's good friend.
In addition, she had engaged in his company's cooperation project with IP&G Group a long time ago.
Once, when he had a stomachache during a meeting, she went to buy some medicine and secretly put it on his desk.
But overall, he didn't know her well.
"Miss Zhu, what brings you here? Why do you look so shocked?"
Chandler asked directly in a distant tone.
Crystal looked embarrassed and complained in her heart.
Why was this man so rude? She just didn't expect that he would open the door for her personally.
Chandler looked gentle and kind, but in fact, he was very scheming.She knew it very well.
"How is Patrick now?" Crystal asked directly.
"He's in Seattle."
Chandler didn't hide it from her and told her the truth.
"I know he's in Seattle.I mean when will he be back? Is his illness really so serious..."
Chandler interrupted her, his tone a little cold.
"Miss Zhu, since you know that Patrick is not an ordinary man, then you must know that I can't make comments about his illness.It will affect the group's stock price.The consequence is too much for everyone to bear."
Crystal listened to his lecture and lowered her head guiltily.
If Patrick really had a serious illness, it would definitely affect the entire [P&G Group, and some words were forbidden to say.
"Miss Zhu, you can go straight to the highway by turning left.If you get lost, please turn on your GPS, Then see you around."
Chandler didn't want to talk to her anymore, so he said goodbye and closed the door.
Crystal could clearly see that Chandler was unwilling to talk to her.She watched him closing the heavy door absent- minded.
Suddenly, she was very angry.
These upper-class people always acted in a condescending manner.
"Christina's children are dead!"
She shouted angrily.
Chandler, who was at the other end of the door, stopped when he heard her.He did not speak immediately, and his brows were slightly furrowed with fatigue.
In fact, he had just returned back from Seattle and found out about it.
Christina's twins were gone.
He felt heavy and could hardly believe it, but the reality was so cruel.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Crystal became even more excited.
"Do you guys really not know this? It has been almost half a month and the people in the Hopkins family have ignored her.Where is Patrick? Where is he? Please, if you can contact Patrick, tell him that Christina really wants to see him."
Chandler looked at the woman in front of him and her eyes turned red with anxiety.
He rubbed his brows and said calmly, "I can't help you with this."
"Patrick can't come back from Seattle for the time being"
"When exactly will he be back? Will it really take three months? What if he never comes back? Even if Patrick really can't come back for the time being, he can at least call and send a text message or make a video call when he's free..." The more Crystal said, the angrier she became.
"This is about his wife and children.Why is he so cruel?"
