Chapter 138 – Encountering Hugh Dong
Christine White jolted to a halt and sank her small face in warning, “My husband treats me well! Please don’t make rumors, General Dong!”
“Being nice to you?” Hugh Dong snorted, “So being cold and violent towards you, not disclosing your identity, and using your bone marrow to save your first love is being nice to you, Christine, your feelings, they are too humble.”
Christine White’s little face went white and she opened her mouth to explain, but suddenly realized she couldn’t say anything.
Because she subconsciously knew that he was right.
In this relationship with Baird Lane, it was never just her running the show and giving, while Baird Lane only had the same old indifference to her.
But even so, she was still foolishly in love with him, and what was this if not humility?
Seeing that Christine White didn’t say anything, Hugh Dong knew that he had poked her sore spot, the corners of his mouth hooked up in an inaccessible manner, “Christine, my words were a bit heavy, but I don’t think it’s really necessary for you to be so in love with President Lane, he really doesn’t deserve your love, a man who can’t respond to your feelings, a man who can’t respond to your feelings, in the end, all he can give you is hurt.”
“So what?” Christine White looked firmly in the direction of the company.
Even if it hurt, it was something she did willingly.
And she just couldn’t believe how heavy the damage could be!
Hugh Dong looked at Christine White as if she had to hit the southern wall, his eyes narrowed slightly, “Molly, you’re really naïve, do you know that the damage I’m talking about, there’s a possibility that you can’t afford it?”
“Can’t afford it? What do you mean?” Christine White froze slightly.
Hugh Dong smiled at her mysteriously without opening his mouth and drove off directly.
Christine White watched his car go away, and for some reason, that smile of his made her feel horribly uneasy inside.
Christine White arrived at the office with a heavy heart, and as soon as she entered the lobby, she heard some of the employees talking excitedly about how handsome they were.
Christine White is all confused and pulls a random person, “What are you guys talking about, who’s so handsome?”
“We’re talking about Mr. Dong of Dong’s Group.” The man replied.noveldrama
Christine White let go of her, thoroughly understanding.
So Hugh Dong came to the company.
She then said how she ran into him at that intersection.
“I see, thank you.” Christine White turned and entered the elevator.
When she had just reached the top floor, she saw Hugh Dong and Baird Lane coming out of the president’s office one after the other.
Hugh Dong saw her too and winked at her with a smile, “Yo, Secretary White, good morning.”
The corners of Christine White’s mouth twitched as she mentally spat at the man’s skill at acting.
It’s so hypocritical to act like you’ve only just met when you’ve obviously just met.
But since Hugh Dong was willing to do that, Christine White went along with what he said and picked up where he left off, lest Baird Lane misunderstand something.
“Good morning Mr. Dong.” After greeting Hugh Dong, Christine White turned to Baird Lane, “President Lane, I’ll head back to the office.”
“Uh-huh.” Baird Lane nodded.
Christine White tightened the chain of her bag on her shoulder and crossed to her office past the two men.
She didn’t work yesterday, and work piled up today, with a ton of things waiting for her to take care of.
She didn’t delay, and after putting her bag down, she turned on her computer and got to work.
She was busy until noon, when she had time to catch her breath.
“Christine,” Debby York pushed her way in, “Are you done?”
Christine White turned her stiff neck, “Almost there, what brings you up?”
“I came up here to give you something.” Said Debby York as she presented a large bag from behind her and placed it on the table.
Christine White rounded her eyes, “What is this?”
“It’s a specialty from my hometown, my mom asked me to send it over as a special thank you to you and your husband.” Debby York replied as she got herself a glass of water.
Christine White unwrapped the bag and looked at it, it contained a surprising number of rare mountain delicacies, some of which she had eaten and some of which she hadn’t.
“That’s a lot.” Christine White staggered.
Debby York waved her hand, “It’s not much, we don’t have much else back home, but there’s a lot of this stuff, my mom asked me to send it over for you and your husband to try.”
“Then I’m welcome.” Christine White closed the bag.
Debby York smiled, “If you’re polite, I’m still upset instead, and by the way, the doctor your husband found for us has arrived.”
“That fast?”
“Yeah, he called me last night and said he’d be there today, so I’ll pick up the plane this afternoon, so why don’t you come with me.” Debby York took Christine White’s hand.
Christine White shyly declined, “I’m afraid that’s not possible, I have to study etiquette every afternoon now.”
“Etiquette?” Debby York was a little lost.
Christine White drew back her hand to explain, “My husband’s family is quite wealthy, and then I’m attending a charity banquet next month, so I’ve hired an etiquette teacher for me to learn these social graces.”
“So that’s how it is, it’s true that rich people have a lot of rules, I really sympathize with you.” Debby York gloated.
Christine White smiled and didn’t answer.
Debby York took a sip of her water, thought of something, and asked, “Your birthday is just two days away, isn’t it?”
“Right.” Christine White set the organized papers aside.
Debby York came up to her, “What are you going to do this year?”
“I’ve already agreed with my husband that we’ll both spend our birthdays together this year, so I’ll buy you dinner alone afterward.” Christine White smiled brightly.
Debby York just thought she smelled a sour odor and faked fanning herself in front of her, “Ouch, so happy to be spending time with her husband haha.”
“Are you envious?” Christine White cried.
Debby York bristled, “I’m not envious, huh?”
She put down her cup and turned to head out the door.
Christine White didn’t keep her either, shaking her head and picking up her meal card to get ready for dinner.
Baird Lane and Hugh Dong had gone out in the morning and had not returned or gone anywhere.
Christine White took out her cell phone several times to ask him, but eventually gave up.
Going out with Hugh Dong is supposed to be about collaboration stuff, as long as it’s not to see Molly Bort in the hospital.
With that thought, Christine White barely managed to muster up a few moments of energy to get back to work.
After her afternoon shift, she returned to the villa where the etiquette teacher was already waiting for her.
After a short break, she began to learn etiquette with her teacher.
After these two or three consecutive days of learning, she had almost adapted to such intense training, and after three hours, her body, although still a little tired, to not appear the soreness that she had at the beginning.
“Tired, ma’am?” Aunt Lucy handed Christine White a towel.
Christine White took it and casually wiped it on her face, “A little, but okay.”
“Go and take a shower, it’s time to eat, the mountain treasures you brought back are of good quality, I have made a mountain treasure soup, you should be able to take it, ma’am.” Aunt Lucy said.
Christine White had smelled the aroma earlier and her stomach was already rumbling with hunger, she put down the towel and smiled, “Sure, I’ll have two more bowls later.”
“Okay.” Aunt Lucy couldn’t wait for her to eat more.
It was the only way that her body and the baby in her womb could be well nourished and her nutrition kept up.
Christine White went upstairs to take a shower, and shortly before she left, Baird Lane returned.
He seemed to have something on his mind, his brow furrowed.
Christine White came down from her shower to see him sitting on the couch with a somber air around him.
“Baird,” she called out to him softly.
Baird Lane looked up at her, his voice a little husky, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing much, it’s just you …” Christine White walked over and stood in front of him, “Are you okay? I see that you seem to be in a bit of a bad mood, did something happen to you?”
Is it hard to believe that Hugh Dong said something to him after he went out with him?
What do you think?
