Baird Lane’s expression tightened and he opened his mouth to yell toward the distant car, “Christine White!”
All that responded to him, however, was the sound of a car horn.
“Your husband just called you again.” Hugh Dong, who was driving the car, looked at the person who was getting farther and farther away in the rearview mirror, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but hook up.
As soon as Christine White heard this, she hurriedly stretched her neck to see as well, but was ultimately too late; there was nothing in the rearview mirror but a clean road.
“Did he really just call me again?” She was a little skeptical.
Hugh Dong nodded, “Yes, I still see him, want to go back for him?”
“No.” Christine White withdrew her neck and shook her head gently.
Hugh Dong glanced at her quickly, “What’s wrong? It feels like your enthusiasm for President Lane has decreased so much all of a sudden, is something wrong?”
“It’s fine.” Christine White turned her head toward the window and stared out at the view.
Hugh Dong raised his eyelids, “Is it really alright? I don’t look like you’re fine now, look at how thin you’ve become.”
Christine White didn’t answer his words.
Hugh Dong tsked, “Forget it, just pretend I didn’t say it.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you, it’s just that there are some things that I don’t really want to mention.” Christine White apologized.
Hugh Dong grunted, “Your attitude of apologizing is too insincere.”
“So what do you want?” Christine White turned her head to look at him.
Hugh Dong’s eyes rolled, “Accompany me to dinner later.”
“Dinner?”
“Yes, I’m meeting a client later, my assistant is on vacation, so you can act as my assistant and help me with the documents and such.” Hugh Dong said.
Christine White mused for a few seconds, “I haven’t done any assistant work though.”
How could she do the assistant’s job when she still knew little about the secretary’s job.
“It’s okay, there are several types of assistants, living assistants are the easiest, and that’s what you’ll be playing.” Said Hugh Dong, winking at her.
Christine White thought for a moment, “Okay, I’ll try it as a thank you for the ride.”
“You’re really calculating.” Hugh Dong cried and laughed as he shook his head.
Christine White also smiled slightly, her heavy and gloomy mood all the better, “By the way Mr. Dong, I haven’t asked yet, how come you were outside the gate of the villa area at that time.”
“Because I bought a house over here.” Hugh Dong returned.
Christine White was surprised, “Buy a house? There are no more villas for sale in this villa area.”
“As long as you have money, what kind of house can’t be bought.” Hugh Dong smiled with a smug look on his face.
The corners of Christine White’s mouth twitched, “I get it, rich people are really arbitrary, but when did you buy it?”
“I’ve bought it for a long time, it’s been airing out, I didn’t move in until yesterday, and now that I’m out meeting clients, I didn’t expect to happen to meet you.” Hugh Dong explained.
Christine White nodded slightly, “So that’s how it is, I was saying how I haven’t seen you around the villa area.”
“In the future, we will meet often, the villa I bought is not too far away from yours.” Hugh Dong said with a smile.
The smile on Christine White’s face however faded, “I’m afraid I won’t be seeing much of it in the future.”
“What’s wrong?” Hugh Dong asked as he put away his smile.
Christine White licked her dry lips, “It’s nothing, there’s a print store up ahead, stop the car Mr. Dong, I’m going to run some errands.”
“What are you doing at the print store?” Hugh Dong was curious.
Christine White didn’t answer, got out of the car and headed for the store.
Hugh Dong thought about it and followed suit.
Christine White heard the footsteps behind her voice, but she didn’t chase him away, letting him follow.
Walking into the print store, Christine White took a flash memory out of her bag and handed it over to the clerk, “Please type out the information inside for me for a moment.”
“Okay.” The clerk took the flash and went to sit behind the computer.
Christine White walks up to a printer and stops, waiting for the paper to come out.
Soon the printer went off and a sheet of paper slid out of it, but instead of rushing to get the information out of the printer, she waited until it listened before she reached out.
“Excuse me, do you have a document bag?” Taking out the information, Christine White asked the clerk.
The clerk nodded, “Yes, just a moment.”
“Good.” Christine White answered.
Hugh Dong looked at her, “What exactly did you have to come out and print?”
“This.” Christine White didn’t hide it, and graciously turned over the information in her hand to show him.
He took this look and his whole body was instantly stunned, “Divorce papers? You’re divorcing President Lane?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem?” Christine White calmly retrieved the information.
Hugh Dong swallowed, “Big problem, I say Christine, why are you suddenly going to divorce President Lane? I’ve been trying to persuade you so much before, but you’re not even half moved.”
“Something came up and had to get a divorce.” Christine White replied simply, and saw the clerk approach with a yellow paper bag.
“Here’s what you want, miss.” The clerk handed her the paper bag, “That’s thirty dollars.”
“Thanks.” Christine White took the file bag and put the information inside before taking out her cell phone and checking out, then leaving the print store.
Hugh Dong followed her in step, “Christine, you came out to print this on your own, it’s obvious that you unilaterally want a divorce, what happened to you?”
“Don’t ask, okay? I don’t want to talk!” Christine White stopped and said with some irritation, obviously impatient with his questions.
Hugh Dong shrugged his shoulders, “Fine, fine, I won’t ask.”
Since she wouldn’t say, he’d have someone look into it.
He was curious as to what Baird Lane had done to her to make her rise to the idea of divorce.
“Let’s go Hugh Dong, don’t you have a client to meet?” Christine White took a breath and suppressed the slight anger in her heart, regaining her composure and said to Hugh Dong.
Hugh Dong turned the car keys, “Let’s go.”
The two headed toward the car on the side of the road.
Just as soon as she got into the car, the cell phone in Christine White’s bag rang.
She placed the file bag on her lap and took her cell phone out of her bag, her eyes flickered a few times when she took a look at the caller ID, and she finally spoke the call and hung up.
“Why don’t you answer?” Hugh Dong glanced at her with his afterglow.
Christine White turned her cell phone off and put it back in her bag, “A nuisance call, unnecessary.”
“Is it really a nuisance call and not President Lane?” said Hugh Dong with a smirking quirk of his lips.
Christine White pursed her small lips and didn’t answer.
Hugh Dong sighed, “Okay, I’ll stop.”
For the rest of the day, neither of them spoke again, and it was only when they reached their destination that Hugh Dong was the first to break the silence, “You can’t do this!”
“What?” Christine White frowned in confusion.
Hugh Dong touched his chin and circled around him, “You can’t wear this outfit, you don’t look like my assistant when you walk out, instead, you look like an ordinary clerk’s little sister.”
“What about it?” Christine White looked down at herself in a simple, cheap casual outfit, “Or forget it, I’ll just embarrass you like this.”
“No, follow me.” Hugh Dong snapped his fingers and pulled her into the mall across the street.
Christine White looked at his hand on her wrist and subconsciously shook it twice, “Mr. Dong.”
Hugh Dong hmmm’d, “What’s up?”
“Hands …”
Hugh Dong froze, then reacted with a somewhat embarrassed smile, “Sorry, sorry, I didn’t mean it, don’t mind.”
“No way.” Christine White forced a smile, “What did Mr. Dong bring me to the mall for? Aren’t we going to see a client?”
“There’s no rush at the client, there’s still some time, I’ll take you to get changed first.” With that, Hugh Dong pushed her into a styling house, then shouted upstairs, “Tony, come out and get the client!”
“Pick up?” Christine White looked at Hugh Dong with strange eyes.
