My billionaire husband spoils me too much
Chapter 433

"You went on a business trip with Patrick and just bought a piece of handicraft?"

The sun was gradually setting. Christina looked at the man in front of her in surprise. Charles sat inher office seat without scruples, playing and appreciating the handicraft in his hands.

"What are you doing here?"

Christina snatched her lucky cat and glared at him.

She and Lucy waited at the company for almost a day. In the end, only Charles arrived. She stayedup late in Japan last night and flew back to the company early in the morning. The manager askedher to treat Lucy. So she didn't sleep for one minute until five o'clock in the afternoon. Now she wassleepless and very irritable.

"My brother is abroad and I can't contact him for the time being. So I have to come over and signthe contract with IP&G on his behalf."

Charles certainly knew that Patrick gave his wife the project for nothing. Since they were friends, hewouldn't make things difficult for her. All he would do was to sign the contract and then leave.Christina frowned.

She didn't expect Charles to sign the document on behalf of the company. Christina asked, "Didn'tyou say that your company has a new shareholder this year? Why didn't the new boss show up?"

"I don't know," Charles said truthfully.

This company was owned by his big brother. Charles ate the bread of idleness and only cared abouthis own business. Moreover, there were many small companies invested by the Shepherd family. Sohe did not pay special attention to them.

"He must be from the business circle. I remembered that my brother said he was our friend,” Charlesshrugged and said casually. "I'll ask my brother when he comes back. It's not important anyway."They thought a small company with just around 20 people could not cause any big trouble. It didn'tmatter that who was the boss.

Charles looked up at her and noticed that Christina's eyes were bloodshot. She obviously did notsleep well.

"Why are you so haggard? Do you have to work so hard?"

Christina looked at his radiant face and felt unfair. She was haggard because she stayed up all night.In order to wait for him to sign this damn contract with Lucy, she didn't sleep for a day. Christinashouted at him angrily, "Hurry to the conference room and sign the contract. I've been waiting foryou for a long time."

Charles rubbed his nose guiltily and said, "Actually, I had been in the Hopkins family, so I came herelate.”

He also knew that he had been late for a few hours. Subconsciously, Charles turned to look at thelift and continued, "Old Master Jun called me. He asked me to bring Brianna to the company. Hesaid that Brianna could help you and you could take her to know more about the society.”

Christina froze.

Brianna was going to work for this company!

When Christina heard the news, she had mixed feelings. Just as she was about to ask Charles morequestions, the manager rushed over.

"Mr. Shepherd, it's getting late. Let's go to the conference room and sign the contract with therepresentative of IP&G."

They strode to the conference room and signed the contract with Lucy quickly. The employees inthe company had already started to clock out.

At this time, there were only a few employees left in the company. The lift door slowly opened.Brianna walked out of the lift in a light blue dress. She had delicate features and wore light makeup,like a very delicate orchid. Brianna walked in small steps, followed by two maids from the Hopkinsfamily. These two people were responsible for Brianna's diet and daily life. They also accompaniedher out.

Charles gave a brief introduction. "This is my good friend's sister.”

The manager looked at Brianna, who was obviously from the upper class. She must be brought upby indulgent parents. He carefully reached out his hand and wanted to shake hands with her.

But Brianna widened her eyes slightly and took a step back at the strange man.

The manager was confused, but he also felt that his action seemed to have frightened her. He was alittle embarrassed for a moment.

Charles acted like a gentleman and stood in front of Brianna, explaining for her as usual.

"My friend is quite introverted. She will come here tomorrow for an internship. You can arrange asimple job for her.”

"Okay, okay." The manager nodded quickly.

Since Charles trusted her to him, he must take good care of this young lady. Seeing her innocentappearance, he knew that she had never worked before.

Christina looked at them with a meaningful look and didn't want to go over.

Lucy rarely meddled in other people's business. She was a little disappointed and unhappy becauseshe didn't see the new boss of this company. Just as Lucy was about to leave, she noticed Christina'sstrange look from the corner of her eye.

"Who is that lady?" Lucy came to Christina and looked at Brianna, asking.

Christina was surprised and said, "You don't know her?"

Lucy knew Patrick so well. But how could she not know his sister?

"Brianna, Patrick's sister,” She paused and added, "She was adopted.”

Lucy showed an enlightened expression and said. "Oh, it's Miss Hopkins." But then she was nolonger interested in the timid woman.

So what about Miss Hopkins? Lucy only spent time investigating valuable people.

But Lucy was confused. "Why is his sister so introverted and timid?"

"I heard that Brianna was autistic since she was a child. She is very introverted and fears strangers.""Oh? Really?" Lucy sneered, "Since she's from the Hopkins family, even if she's adopted, sheshouldn't be like this."

Lucy turned around and left. She didn't like to waste time on invaluable points.

Lucy left without hesitation. Christina looked at the back of Lucy and pondered on what she had justsaid, "Since she's from the Hopkins family, even if she's adopted, she shouldn't be like this.”

Charles went into the office with the manager to continue talking about business. His brother wenton a business trip a while ago and handed over the ownership to the new shareholder. After that,his brother seemed to disappear. No one could contact him. Charles wanted to ask the managerabout something just in case.

After the manager had arranged Brianna's entry to the company, the two maids who accompaniedher whispered to Brianna, "Young madam is over there." They indicated that Brianna should go overand greet Christina.

Brianna didn't seem to be so resistant to Christina.

She naturally walked to Christina and greeted her in a soft and obedient tone.

Christina looked at the innocent face. Her mind was in a mess and she did not respond for amoment.

Brianna was a little nervous as she was being stared at by her. She was worried about whether shehad done something wrong, looking embarrassed.

Crystal didn't get off work. She leaned over to Christina and pulled her arm. "Brianna is talking toyou. Don't keep staring at her. She's very nervous.” Even Crystal felt that Brianna was really delicate.Only then did Christina nod to Brianna. She was calm but actually, she was still suspicious.

The two maids had accompanied and taken care of Brianna for many years. They certainly favoredtheir young lady.

Christina, the young lady, was too smart and reckless. But Mr. Hopkins and Senior Mr. Hopkinsdoted on her. The two maids felt aggrieved for Brianna.

The maids saw that Christina didn't like Brianna very much, so they asked her to sit in a chair on theother side.

Brianna didn't say anything about Christina's cold attitude. She was as quiet and obedient as ever."What do you think of her?"

Christina pulled Crystal to a corner and asked in a low voice.

Crystal felt her weird. She was confused and then expressed her first impression

"Your sister-in-law seems to be a little dependent on you. I heard from Chandler that Barbara spenta lot of time and effort to make friends with Brianna and to gain her trust. Look at her. Now shelooks at you with admiration and respect. She seems to like you very much.”

Christina's sister-in-law was very quiet and obedient. She was a classic socialite.

"Miss Hopkins is easier to get along with than I thought. Maybe it is because she has autism thateveryone wants to protect her. Is this her first time to work? She looks pure and innocent.”Christina told her truthfully, "She's the same age as us."

Brianna seemed to be a high school student.

"Brianna has been pampered since she was a child. She dropped school because of autistic. Sincethen, she had been homeschooling for several years. The Hopkins family also had the financialresources to give her this environment. She doesn't need to grow up so soon. Thus she is mentallyweak and simple.”

Crystal was surprised to hear that.

"Brianna looks so young. She is indeed Miss Hopkins. Her skin is crystal and delicate as if it is neverexposed to the sun. Her eyes, especially, are very clean and pure. She must be too introverted. Soshe is trapped in her own world and not polluted by the complicated and dirty society.”

Crystal patted Christina on the shoulder and said, "Your sister-in-law is very easy to get along with.Other people's mother-in-law and sister-in-law are very snobbish and like to cause trouble.”

Crystal waved her hand and clocked out of work.

After Charles finished talking to the manager, he first asked someone to drive two maids back to theHopkins family. He personally drove Christina and Brianna back home.

Christina and Brianna sat in the back seat, and he drove smoothly.

Normally, Charles would chat with her. But today Christina looked very tired. Brianna was alwayssilent, so the car was especially quiet. Only the melodious soft music sounded in the car.

Christina rested with her eyes closed

Brianna, who was next to her, seemed to be a little restrained. Christina could feel her body sittingstiffly and straightening up. She obviously was not used to squeezing into the small space of the carwith Christina and Charles.

Charles smiled gently at the right time and said, "Brianna, grandpa asked you to work because hewanted you to be more mature. That company has a few staff and your sister-in-law also worksthere. Don't worry."

"Okay."

Brianna sat like a primary school student. She looked up ahead and answered obediently.

Charles looked at them through the rearview mirror. Christina, the bully, sat with Brianna, theobedient student. He really wanted to laugh at these two women with opposite characters.Christina tilted her head and quietly sized up Brianna

Her fair and delicate face was not very stunning. However, she looked especially pure. Patrick knewthat she did not like to deal with relatives in the Hopkins family, so Christina did not have muchcontact with them.

She didn't know Brianna very well.

Brianna left her a good impression. She was like an introverted sister, making people want toprotect her.

Charles was a good driver. But suddenly, a black BMW rushed out at the fork on the left. Charleswas caught off guard. He quickly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.Christina, who was in the car, was shocked. She exclaimed, "What's going on?" Her body jerkedtowards the door on the right.

Brianna hugged her.

"How are you?" Charles stopped the car and immediately turned to look at them in the back seat.Christina and Brianna did not fasten their seatbelts in the back seat. They inevitably bumped intoeach other by this sudden and drastic turn.

"We're fine." Christina felt a little puzzled.

Brianna's reaction was faster than she had expected. It almost happened within a second. Christinajust had a trance and couldn't react swiftly. She was dragged back by Brianna when her head hit thecar door.

"Brianna, do you usually work out?" Christina immediately pushed her away with a meaningful look,her voice low.

Charles was confused. He saw that Christina looked vigilant.

Brianna hesitated for a long time to speak as usual. Christina looked straight at her, which probablymade her feel stressed. Brianna was afraid that she would say something wrong. She was very timid.Charles couldn't bear to see Brianna so frightened and said, "Brianna has had a fitness coach sinceshe was a child. Senior Mr. Hopkins knew that she is not in good health, so of course, he asks her toexercise more. This was not strange.”

"I'm sorry." Christina met her clean eyes and sighed to apologize.

No one would shout at her when seeing her innocent look.
