Patrick agreed to let Christina continue working.

She felt it unbelievable, especially when the butler told her that Patrick would stop insisting ondriving her to work in the future and distributed her an ordinary car.

However, Christina did not know that Patrick could not sleep all night after hearing what she saidlast night.

This morning, Christina drove her new car to work, and Patrick followed her all the way. Patrick reallymade all-out efforts to protect her.

"Christina. Did you... fight with someone yesterday afternoon?”

Crystal arrived at the company half an hour early. When she heard the gossips of her colleagues, shewas shocked and waited for Christina outside the company gate.

Crystal stared at her nervously. "What's going on? Why didn't you tell me yesterday? I heard thatwoman was still in hospital..."

In fact, Crystal didn't care whether that woman was seriously injured. She was just wondering if thecompany was going to close down

It was a miracle that Patrick agreed to let Christina continue working.

Christina said calmly, "That woman rushed in and slapped me, and I slapped her. She rushed over tograb my face and I threw her over the shoulder.”

Crystal was at a loss whether to cry or to laugh when she heard Christina say it so casually.

"It's not a big deal.” Christina didn't take it seriously and took her work card to punch in.

Yesterday afternoon, Christina was slapped by a crazy Internet celebrity for no reason. Of course,she immediately gave her a slap in return and a hospital tour as a gift.

Although it was not pleasant, to Christina, it was not a big deal to be beaten up and then to fightback. After a sleep, she forgot it the next day.

The rumor began to spread in the company that that Internet celebrity who had millions of fansoffended someone and was banned by the entire circle.

Because Christina had ever had a conflict with her before, her colleagues looked at Christinacautiously with some strange scrutiny.

Everyone wondered and did not dare to ask her face to face, which set Christina in an awkwardsituation in the company and she was isolated.

Everyone knew that a company's women's restroom could be the root of all evil for gossip.

At this moment, a few women were chatting there, washing their hands or fixing their makeup.

"I heard that she was dissatisfied with the work schedule and spoke pompously to the personnelmanager. She is probably a relative of the boss.”

"Really? She seems to have followed the arrangement to be a streamer now. Fannie said that shewas quite serious about this..."

Their voices faded away. When they left the restroom, the doors of the last two cubicles slowlyopened and Christina walked out expressionlessly.

Crystal also went over to wash her hands and looked up at Christina.

If Christina was a hot-tempered person, she would definitely rush out and scold these colleagues. Orif she was timid, she would mope by herself.

However, she was neither of them. She looked indifferent as if what they said had nothing to dowith her.

"They said you were a relative of the boss. Nonsense."

Christina didn't care and said calmly, "We can't stop others from talking." It was like it had nothingto do with her.

Crystal knew that she would not be angry about this and laughed at her, "Christina, have you foundthat you are really not popular among girls and women?"

Christina thought for a moment and found she really had very few female friends.

Crystal earnestly advised, "When women get along with each other, showing weakness will make iteasier for you to integrate into the group. Most people in this society subconsciously tend to makefriends with people who are slightly worse than themselves.”

"I don't think I'm very dominant. I just don't like to talk to them.”

Crystal sighed, "You must have been influenced by your grandfather and your father since you werea child.”

In fact, Crystal meant that in society, people couldn't ignore others with no reason.

"I have nothing to do with grandpa,” Christina looked a little thoughtful and remained silent for awhile, "Maybe it's because... Eric doesn't like to talk, and I'm influenced by him."

"Eric?" Crystal didn't get it at the moment.

"Derek." Christina pursed her lips and said awkwardly.

"Oh, I almost forgot that you were childhood sweethearts... Derek was in the same class with youfrom kindergarten to junior high school.”

Crystal met Christina in senior high school, and she learned something about Derek from her.According to Christina, she had no other playmates in kindergarten, primary school, and junior highschool, except Eric.

"When Derek was a child, he had a high fever and then became autistic. Boys around him alwayslaughed at him. I thought those boys were bad.”

Christina recalled her childhood and innocent adolescence and added, "And those girls. They madefriends with me because they wanted to get close to Derek. I don't like them, either.”

Crystal smiled. "If it weren't for the Fisher family, Derek would have accompanied you through highschool, college...” They would even be together now.

"What? He did not accompany me. I accompanied him!"

Christina was a little annoyed when she thought of Derek.

"Just because I scolded him not to appear in front of me, then that bastard really disappeared. Iwanted to apologize to him afterwards, but I just couldn't replace him... And now, even now you can'treplace him anywhere.”

Crystal rarely saw Christina's emotional fluctuations. Probably she remembered Derek's company inher heart.

"Derek had been by your side since you were a child. No wonder you ignored others.”

Maybe all the admirers that once appeared around her had all silently quitted after seeing Derek.With an outstanding person like Derek around, how could Christina not turn her nose up at others?They walked out of the restroom together. Crystal patted Christina's shoulder heavily and suddenlysaid, "I think Patrick is pitiful.”

In Christina's entire childhood and youth, she was accompanied by Derek, a perfect man. Theirconection was so tight. If Derek hadn't suddenly left, there would have been no chance for Patrick atall.

Christina thought for a while and was about to say something.

"Christina, the boss asked you to go to the reception room.” A female colleague ran over in a hurrywith an unfriendly tone.

The boss?

Originally, the colleagues only guessed secretly. Somehow, they all looked at Christina now with ahint of hostility in their eyes. "Even if she’s a royal relative, isn't she afraid of messing up such a bigproject as a rookie? They appointed her to take on the project. Hmph, in the end, it would still be usto clear up the messy situation for her..."

Christina listened to the gossip as she followed her colleague to the reception room.

"The client representative is inside. This is the biggest project of our company since the beginningof the year. Be careful and don't embarrass our company.” The accompanying female colleaguegave her a meaningful look and walked away in a huff in her high heels.

Christina did not look very delighted. She gave the glass door a hard push and strode in.

She thought that the so-called boss deliberately made her be hated by her colleagues.

Why did it have to be her to take over the project? Damn!

To her surprise, Christina looked around and only found Lucy with short hair and a tall figure in frontof her. Christina's face turned from anger to astonishment.

"What are you doing here?"
