It was Christmas eve, not April Fool's Day.Christina had just put on light makeup in the bathroom and was about to go out in new clothes.She glanced at her phone and suspected that it was a trick.
There was a weird message on her phone.
"Christina, this is Barbara Parker”
"I...I want to ask you out today.If you hear the voicemail, call me back"
After Christina played it several times, she was sure that it was indeed Barbara's voice, who sounded a little nervous.
She didn't get along well with Barbara.So there was no need for her to meet Barbara.
Besides, a few days ago, Christina had a fight with Barbara's best friend Erica.
Were they angry and looking for trouble again? Anyway, Christina's first thought when she received the message was to ignore it.
One should have spent the romantic Christmas eve with their boyfriend or husband.
As a single, Christina might not go out lonely during this festival.
However, Crystal seemed to be in a bad mood.
So Christina went out at her invitation, Christina shoved her phone, change, and credit cards into her bag and walked out handsomely.
Before closing the door, she habitually glared at the ceiling and wondered what would Patrick do tonight and thought maybe he would go on a yacht with Charles for several days.
Jerk!! As soon as she walked out of the gate and was about to call a taxi, she saw Barbara.
Barbara was standing across the road, staring at her with a serious face.
Christina paused, frowned, and looked at her.
Finally, she crossed the pavement and walked towards Barbara.
Christina never expected that Barbara would personally come to see her.
What did she want? Barbara felt relieved when she saw Christina walking towards her.
She had already guessed that Christina would not call her back given Christina's personality.
"Didn't you go out with a man on Christmas eve? Is there anything important that makes you, Director Parker, wait for me in this shabby old district?"
Christina didn't like her and didn't bother to pretend.
Christina stood a meter away from her and teased her in a cold voice.
Barbara stared at Christina with a serious face and mixed expressions as if something had really happened.
Christina also had a straight face.
Christina noticed Barbara's clenched fist as if she was holding something in her right palm.She looked as if she was struggling with something.
"Barbara, if you have anything to say, just say it.I have an appointment with Crystal.I don't have time to talk with you...By the way, if you want to make trouble for Erica, then I need to remind you that since you are so smart, you must know that I could let you lie in the hospital within two minutes."
Christina sounded casual and cold cause she didn’t want to waste time with Barbara.
"Where are you going to meet Crystal Zhu? I can drive you there."
Was Barbara so kind to be her drive? Christina doubted, "Hey, you sounded so strange in the voicemail just now.What is it you want to see me about?"
She didn't want to fall into Barbara's trap.
Seeing that Christina was so straightforward, Barbara gave a professional smile and said, "Well, think I've set a trap for you?"
Then Barbara opened the car door.
"Christina, if I say I want to give you a Christmas present today, will you take it?"
Give me a Christmas present? Christina felt surprised.
Christina kept staring at her until both of them got into the car.
Then Christina said, "To the eastern shopping mall."
Barbara drove her white Mercedes steadily at a low speed, looking straight ahead.She seemed to be struggling in her heart.
