Spoil My Errant Wife (Patrick and Christina) novel Chapter 300

It was Christmas eve, the 24th of December.

Though the night before Christmas sounded like a very romantic day, it was not.

It happened to be on Sunday, What a coincidence! However, some unlucky ones had to work overtime until they were exhausted.

The sales team also had to negotiate with the customers to sign the contract.

At IP&G headquarters, many employees went to work early this morning.

The competition was so fierce that anyone could be replaced if he did not work hard, Even during the holiday, no one dared to relax at all.

"Director Parker, you are also working today?"

Most of the employees here knew Barbara Parker.

When they saw her, they immediately greeted her.

Barbara was competent in work and polite to her subordinates.She enjoyed immense support among employees.

"You don't go out with your boyfriend today?"

Several female colleagues walked into the elevator with her.

Today was Christmas eve, so that question sounded reasonable.

"Men don't even like me." Barbara smiled and chatted with them.

"Director Parker, if you say that, singles like us will be ashamed.As long as you agree, most of the colleagues in our company will line up waiting for you."

The elevator was going up, and Barbara responded casually, "I just want to do my current work well."

"Director Parker is right.We women can also be financially independent.There's no need to rely on men.Those managers are a bit like toads lusting after a Swan's Flesh."

Afew women were flattering their superiors.

Barbara was not interested in their conversation.Suddenly, a colleague from the Office of the Secretary exclaimed.

"Ah, I see.Mr.Hopkins also said he was coming today"

Ting.

Just then, the elevator door opened.

Two colleagues of the advertising team got off on the 42nd floor, leaving only a female colleague from the Office of the Secretary and Barbara.

"Is Mr.Hopkins going to work today too?" Barbara asked casually.

"Yes.”

"Because of the company's project?"

"I don't think so.But I not sure."

Barbara was very influential in IP&G, so everyone would like to please her.

"It should be a private matter, but we don't dare to ask." The secretary replied deferentially.

In fact, in IP&G, especially the secretaries, they all knew that Barbara had feelings for Mr.Hopkins.

The Office of the Secretary was full of adorable women, and each of them was talented and charming.

It was understandable that those women somewhat admired Mr.Hopkins.

But mostly, they only thought of it in their mind.

Few women could get close to Mr.Hopkins, and Director Parker was an exception.

"Do you know where Mr.Hopkins has been to recently after work?" Barbara suddenly asked anxiously.

The secretary should tell the truth when asked a question by a superior like Barbara.

However, it was inappropriate to do so this time.

Although she was a newcomer, she knew the rules.

Moreover, Mr.Hopkins was a rather difficult person, so she didn’t dare to say anything about his privacy at all.

Barbara realized that immediately.

Upon noticing her misbehaving, she smiled kindly at the secretary.

"Yesterday, when I was having dinner in the house of the Hopkins family, I heard the driver say that Mr.Hopkins had been driving himself recently.

Senior Mr.Hopkins asked me about this, but I was not sure.

I thought people in the Office of the Secretary would know it"

Barbara explained casually.

She even mentioned that she went to the house of the Hopkins family for dinner, and Senior Mr.Hopkins personally asked her about it, as if she was just purely curious.

The elevator stopped on the 68th floor with a "Ting" sound.

Both of them got off.

The secretary didn't think much but told her directly, "I don't know where Mr.Hopkins has been to after work, but he's been driving himself recently"
