Chapter 514
Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
Chapter 514 The driver chatted with Christina all the way and told her a lot of good things about this kind person.
The more he spoke, the more excited he became. If he was not driving, he would probably be dancing with joy.
Christina really admired this kind person. Out of curiosity, she asked, âThen why isnât there any information about him in this city on the Internet?â
There was indeed none. When she browsed the webpage, she did not find any of the information the driver had mentioned. It could be said that there was not a single piece of information.
âHeâs low-key and never accepts interviews. You guys definitely donât know him. He does good deeds without leaving his name.â
âThatâs really low-key.â In Athana, some people donated two thousand dollars and even bought a spot in the trending topics, for fear that others would not know.
When Christina entered the company, the driver enthusiastically said that it was not easy to get a taxi here, so he might as well wait for her to come out and drive her back. Christina was also happy to do so.
Half an hour later, Christina came out, disappointed as expected. A gust of cold wind made her shiver. The person at the front desk told her that the boss was not at work yet and that the appointment had been reported, so she had to wait a little longer.
As Christina got into the car, all the cells in her body warmed up. She adjusted her jacket and said, âLetâs go back to the hotel.â
âYou said your name is Christina, right? Christina, you still havenât seen the boss?â asked the driver.
Christina was not in a very good mood and only said lightly, âYes, maybe he doesnât want to see me. Letâs go back to the hotel. Iâll give you more money later.â
The car started, but the driver did not drive too fast. âChristina, donât be unhappy. Do you see the clouds in that corner? It should snow at night. It looks better in our city because our buildings arenât very tall. The snow accumulated on the roof is like a palace in a fairy tale. Itâs beautiful. Just wait and see, I believe it will definitely snow.â
Christina was amused. âIf youâre so eloquent, why arenât you in sales?â
âThe sales results and salary are unstable. I need a stable income. Otherwise, I wonât feel at ease. Iâll always be worried that I wonât be able to have another meal.â
âI guess thatâs true to a certain extent. Everyoneâs choices are different. Some people like this kind of uncertainty as a kind of challenge.
Others like an easy life and donât like to run around. It depends on what life a person wants.â
The driver smiled and scratched his head. âHaha, Christina, what you said makes sense. Although I donât understand, it sounds very right.â
Christina was amused again.
Because it was too cold, the car drove back to Sapphire Hotel.
The driver placed a hand on Christinaâs shoulder and was about to tell her to go over to watch the snow at night when Christina threw him over her shoulder.
Her reflexes took over and she instinctively took precautions.
The driver was lying on his back, grimacing in pain. Christina stood awkwardly at the side and reached out to grab his hand, but she was rejected. âChristina, I just wanted to tell you that it would look better if you went to that place at night to look at the snow. Sapphire Hotel has a viewing platform that can look at the snow.â
The driver rubbed his butt and shoulders while groaning in pain.
This made Christina even more apologetic. âSorry, itâs a conditioned reflex. In the future, stand in front of me and talk to me. Donât pat my shoulder or touch me from behind.â
After saying that, she was still a little worried. âWhy donât I take you to the hospital to take a look? Just in case you hurt your bones.â
He had fallen quite hard.
The driver quickly waved his hand and shook his head like a rattle drum. âNo need, no need. Iâm wearing a down jacket. I just fell on my butt. Iâll be fine after resting for a while.â
âIâll compensate you. Give me your number and Iâll transfer it to you.â
As she spoke, Christina glanced at the QR code on the car. âIâm sorry. Iâm just like this. I feel more at ease if you give me a number.â
âJust transfer me 100 dollars. If thereâs a problem, Iâll just take a break in the afternoon.â
Christina transferred 400 dollars to him. âIâve transferred it to you. You can rest for the next few days. Now that you have my phone number, feel free to contact me if you have any problems. Iâll be in charge of the follow-up treatment.â
âNo need, no need. Christina, itâs really not necessary. Itâs a small matter. Goodbye, Christina. Iâll get going first.â The driver limped and opened the car door. He started the car and left quickly, afraid that Christina would drag him to the hospital for treatment.
Christina nodded and waved goodbye. Sigh, she had caused him to have such a hard fall onto the ground. Why couldnât she change this habit of hers?
On the top floor.
The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with one hand on the window and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. Because of his smile, the cigarette trembled and the lighter lit up with a click. The smoke surrounded his handsome facial features and blurred his smiling face. He instructed Ethan behind him in a low voice, âGive Benjamin compensation.â
Ethan nodded and asked, âMr. Turner, should we get someone else to protect you?â
Joseph took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. His voice was low and magnetic. âThereâs no need. She has been running around for two days and it has been quite cold. Itâs going to snow at night.â
He would not torture her anymore.
Ethan replied respectfully, âYes, Mr. Turner.â
At night, it really snowed. Christina treated it as a vacation. She calmed herself down, ate, and played as she should. Fortunately, her mother did not blow up her phone.
Snowflakes fell from the sky and danced in the air. There were already many people standing at the hotelâs snow observation platform/
Perhaps they had already known that snow would descend at night.
The snowflakes in the sky were getting heavier and heavier. Without the rain mixed in, the snowflakes piled up faster and faster. Just like the driver said, the city was really beautiful when it was covered in snow.
There were more people at the snow observation platform, and Christina did not want to squeeze amongst them.
After changing her clothes and putting on a blue sweater, Christina threw on a white coat, jeans, and Doc Martens. It was very casual and simple.
Gathering her white coat, the cold wind crept into her sweater. It was a little cold. She turned around and went to a quiet place in the hotel.
There was a swing, a table, and three chairs.
On her first day here, Christina realized that this place was very quiet. Not many people came and went, causing the snow to be accumulated. Christina sat on the chair and looked up at the snow falling slowly from the sky. Every snowflake was so pure, so white, and its shape was so clear.
Suddenly, when she felt a weight on her shoulders, she turned her head and realized that someone had placed a black down jacket on her shoulders. Just as she was about to get up, a familiar voice came from behind. âMs. Yamin, youâre quite leisurely and elegant. Are you watching the snow?â
Christina turned her head with a swoosh and a big black umbrella appeared above her head. The man was wearing a black coat with a high gray collar. His handsome and impeccable facial features were above her. He was busy fixing the big umbrella on the shelf.
At this moment, Christina was already in a daze. Her heart was racing, and she did not know where to start. Should she ask him why he was here? Or should she ask him how he knew she was here?
Without waiting for Christina to ask, Joseph slowly walked to another seat and sat opposite Christina. His lips curled into a charming smile. âAre you looking for me?â
Christina scoffed. When did she look for him? Wait a minute, why was he the one to ask her this question? This was not right.
âWait a moment. Iâll ask you a few questions first.â Christina was about to take off the jacket on her shoulders and return it to Joseph.
Joseph sat on the chair elegantly. He crossed his legs and looked at Christinaâs exquisite face. âPut it on. Itâll be cold later. Itâs snowing and itâs not suitable to wear a coat. The jacket is new and hasnât been worn.â
âThank you.â Christina thanked him.
Joseph continued to look at her calmly. He raised his hand and said gently, âAsk away.â
After a moment of silence, Christina stared at Joseph. At this moment, his aura was different. For some reason, she felt like he was suppressing her, but she did not lose. âFirstly, how did you know I was here? Secondly, did you misunderstand something? Iâm not looking for you.â
The snow was still falling. Under the big black umbrella, the two of them were chatting. At first glance, it looked like they were talking about everything under the sky. Joseph spoke softly, his pace neither fast nor slow. He simply pulled his aura back. âMs. Yamin, Iâm afraid youâve misunderstood something. This hotel is my permanent hotel. Iâm from Sapphire City. Secondly... arenât you looking for Xaynumâs boss?â
Christina was speechless. If she still did not understand what he meant, she would be an idiot.
Therefore, the person she was looking for was originally the Roberts family. She had traveled thousands of miles to look for someone she already knew. It was really funny.
After sorting out her thoughts, Christina asked, âSo when did you come to Sapphire City?â
Joseph asked calmly, âWhen did you make an appointment?â
Christina took a deep breath. She placed her elbows on the table and spread them out, feeling speechless. âSo youâre saying that I called you back from/Athana? Are you joking with me? All because of a deal that might not succeed?â
At this moment, Christina thought of something and was confused. âWait, arenât you a university professor?â
Christina remembered that Joseph had not denied it last time.
Joseph looked at Christinaâs serious expression and chuckled. âI never said anything about my profession.â
The two of them seemed to be in a debate. âBut you gave an example of Frank, didnât you?â At that time, Joseph gave an example of Frank as a CEO who wouldnât want to work with her on such a project.
She thought that it definitely would not happen, so she naturally ruled out his identity as CEO. Coupled with his serious expression, there was no doubt at all.
Josephâs lips curled into a smile as he bewitched Christina. His pleasant and magnetic voice sounded again. âFrank is Frank. Iâm me.â
This reason was not bad, not bad at all.
Christina was speechless. She silently gave Joseph Turner a thumbs up. However, she was a little angry in her heart and felt that she had been tricked. âYouâre amazing. I should call you Mr. Turner now, right? Mr. Turner, may I ask why a big CEO like you lacks the hundreds of thousands of dollars I gave you?â
Joseph naturally noticed Christinaâs unhappiness. âWhat if I say itâs because of you?â
Because of her? These words inevitably made Christinaâs heart tremble. Their eyes met, and Christinaâs heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously held her breath and did not say anything.
Josephâs eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless ocean. He stared fixedly at Christinaâs exquisite facial features, and the hot air he exhaled on a cold day dissipated.
Christina licked her slightly dry lips and looked away. She had already forgotten her displeasure just now. âDidnât you say that you believe in non-marriage?â
Moreover, they had agreed not to talk about feelings. She was almost 30 years old, so she naturally understood the other meaning in Josephâs words. He was flirting with her.
âPlans canât keep up with changes. Plans change with the person you meet. Does Ms. Yamin have such an idea?â
Joseph gave Christina an open-ended question again.
Why was it that every time Joseph asked her a question, she would subconsciously think about it and ponder over it faster?
âYouâre silent. Iâm not in a hurry. This answer can be answered slowly. Werenât you anxious to find me? Tell me what you think.â
Joseph did not like people making decisions under pressure and nervousness. Wanting a clear-headed answer from Christina, he began to change the topic. The snow continued to fall and the weather was quite cold. He also noticed that Christinaâs hands were moving and figured that she should be cold. âI donât like to talk about cooperation outside in the cold. Ms. Yamin, shall we change the venue?â
Christina felt quite cold. So be it. She agreed readily. âSure. Where are we going?â
âMy room, do you mind?â
âThereâs nothing to mind. Weâre only talking about cooperation, so thereâs no need for me to make a fuss. I believe in Mr.
Turnerâs character.â
Joseph chuckled, making Christina doubt whether she could trust him. This man was starting to be unpredictable. Christina Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)
