when she left he went crazy (Hope and Christopher) novel Chapter 4

Christopher almost agreed directly. He had no hesitation or reluctance.

I hooked my arm around his neck, smiling eagerly at him. “You’re willing to give me ten percent?” His eyes were clear. “Giving it to you, not to a stranger.”

At that moment, I had to admit that money was indeed a good way to show loyalty.

I suppressed my emotions from the afternoon, finally finding some relief. As if I wanted to prove something, I asked with a smile, “What if it were Evelyn? Would you give it to her?”

Christopher fell silent for a moment before giving a definite answer. “No.”

“Really?”

“Yes, the only thing I can offer her is that position.” Christopher pulled me into his embrace. His warm and certain voice sounded in my ear.

“I’ll have Donald send the share transfer agreement this afternoon. From now on, you’ll be one of the owners of the Valence Group. Everyone else will be working for you.”

I felt much better. I asked him with a smile, “And what about you?”

He raised an eyebrow. “What?”

“Are you working for me?”

“Of course.” Christopher chuckled, ruffling my hair.

He leaned to my ear, his words teasing, “I’m at your service, whether in bed or out.”

I felt shy and glared at him. That was just how Christopher was.

He appeared serious, aloof, and noble, but he would occasionally say something that easily made one blush.

Seeing my mood improve, he checked his watch. “I have to go upstairs for a meeting. It’s a family gathering today. We have to go back to the Valence Manor together tonight and have dinner with Grandpa. I’ll wait for you in the parking lot.”

“I know.” I naturally wouldn’t refuse.

After some thought, I made a decision.

“Honey, I have a surprise for you tonight.”

A few days ago, because of the necklace incident, I was unsure whether I should tell him about the pregnancy. Since he could distinguish who was more important to him, between Evelyn and me, I shouldn’t hide it anymore.

“What surprise?” he asked, his curiosity piqued. He was about to ask right then and there.

“I’ll tell you after work. Wait for me!” I tiptoed and planted a kiss on Christopher’s lips before ignoring him.

After he left, I settled down and focused on designing. It wasn’t long before there was another knock on the office door. Without looking up, I said, “Come in.”

“Hope, I hope I’m not interrupting.”

Evelyn’s gentle and pleasant voice came through.

“Yes, you are,” I said honestly. I wouldn’t say I liked being interrupted while I was working on a design.

Evelyn looked a bit embarrassed but persevered, “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. I just found out that the position of the head of the design department was originally yours. I unintentionally took the position that should have belonged to you, so I wanted to apologize to you.”

“It’s okay.”

Christopher had already compensated me. It was a hundred percent stake. No matter how long I worked as the head of the design department, I couldn’t earn as much as that money.

Perhaps I appeared too indifferent and relaxed. Evelyn was surprised.

“Are you sure it’s okay? If you’re not happy, tell me. I can switch to another department. Don’t let this issue make you feel unhappy.”

She naturally walked over and sat down on the sofa.

“Hope, if you have any dissatisfaction, just tell me. Don’t keep it in yourself.”

Evelyn, like a caring older sister, tucked her long hair behind her ear and said softly, “Anyway, Chris said I could choose any position in the company. I haven’t worked for so many years. It’s the same to me whichever department I go to.”
