"Why are you here?" Christina asked naturally.
Lucy turned to look at her with scrutiny.
Finally, she quirked up her lips in a sneer.
"Miss Dickens, why do you think I'm here?" Christina thought of Patrick.
After all, this woman was his right-hand man.
Lucy was never prone to talk in riddles.
"Take a look at this document and sign it if you don’t have any questions." She picked up a plan book on the table and threw it at Christina.
Even the force and direction of her actions were well controlled, as the document stopped steadily at the edge of the table in front of Christina.
Without further ado, Christina pulled a chair to have a seat, then she roughly skim through a few pages of the contract.
It was an IP&G project contract, to look for an advertising company to go to Japan to do a live broadcast of a new product.
Christina looked up at Lucy curiously.
"Are you here to do the liaison?" Lucy was the client representative of IP&G.It was really a surprise to Christina.
She had thought that Lucy was only doing something behind the scenes, but she didn't expect Lucy to become an office worker.
Reduced to running errands, Lucy was wearing a grumpy face as she said coldly, "This was originally a public bidding project, but the wife of the boss of IP&G is here, so naturally, there is no need to bother bidding-"
It was a project as a gift of Patrick to add to her achievement.
Christina asked her, "Why do you want me to sign? Shouldn't you look for the person in charge of the company first?"
Lucy had scarcely cared to hide the sarcasm in her tone.
"Miss Dickens, you're their company's symbol of fortunes.How dare they accept it without you signing it first?" Symbol of fortunes.
It seemed that someone had teased her before that she was the symbol of fortunes...
Even if Lucy spoke in such a sarcastic way, Christina did not show much discontent on her face.She lowered her head and signed her name in a few places with a pen.
Lucy suddenly felt that Christina’s silence made her seem mean.
Recently, she was assigned by Patrick to work at IP&G for research.
At first, Lucy thought it was fresh and fun, but a month later, the novelty wore off and she was bored to death, especially with the chattering of the women in the Group.
Smothering her vexation, Lucy wanted to vent her anger on the culprit
"Christina, I hope you remember that a rough jade without any polish will never be comparable to your partner.Life is so long, and the love given in charity will only turn pale in the end.You'd better be smart.Don't mess around and need us to clean up for you all day..."
"What do I need you to clean up for me?" Lucy adjusted her expression and obviously didn't want to proceed with the topic.
She said coldly, "Anyway, it's up to you."
She picked up the signed document in her hand and left.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Christina clocked out and went home on time.
The traffic in A City was very developed, but the popular sections were always congested in the rush hours.
The east side of the city was the busiest and most congested.
Fortunately, her company was on the west side of the city, which was relatively less occupied, albeit with countless small traffic jams.
But she didn't need to rush home to buy food to cook like others do, so she drove slowly.
It took her an hour to get back to the Hopkins family, and Nanny Faang immediately called her to have soup.
"I'm sure you didn't eat well at noon when you were working outside.Tonight, the cook prepared a big meal, so dinner will be delayed to half an hour later.Have a bowl of soup to reassure your stomach."
"Okay, thank you.Christina sat down and had the soup quietly, Seeing that she had a good appetite, Nanny Faang immediately asked the maid to rush to the kitchen and get a small plate of dessert.
