Chapter 849
It was a farce.
Tony was just a team leader of the Engineering Department. Where did he get the power to do such a
thing?
How much did it cost to cover the office with fancy roses?
And Tony did this only to propose to an ordinary new colleague.
This was just too extravagant for ordinary people.
"Most importantly, his proposal seems to have failed."
On the 24th floor, three trucks of flowers were cleaned out that afternoon, which exhausted the
cleaners, who complained as they cleaned up.
However, some people took advantage of it. After collecting the good-looking flowers, they sold them to
a flower shop at a discount. The owner of the flower shop was delighted to take them, as they were all
pricey roses.
After they got off work that evening, this farce became the hottest topic in the WhatsApp group. They
all discussed it secretly.
Tony used to be an unknown team leader. He had been receiving colleagues' comforts all night.
Some comforted him, encouraging him to keep working on it even though his proposal failed this time.
And most of them just insinuated whether he had a secret identity.
"Are you a rich boy, born with a silver spoon, who is tired of your current life? So you come to our
company to experience a life of poverty?"
"We have been friends for so many years. You must tell me frankly, have you hooked up with the top
management of our company? Are you the illegitimate child of Mr. Capener?"
Tony sighed bitterly at the phone.
He raised his head and looked helplessly at Christina at the opposite table. "Christina, I've let you
down. I'm really sorry, and now it seems that I've made a big mistake."
He was just an ordinary office worker.
The proposal in the afternoon was arranged by Christina.
She was Mr. Hopkins' wife. The management of the company would let her do whatever she wanted.
As for the three trucks of fancy flowers, it was a gift from Mr. Shepherd.
"It's alright. Failure is the mother of success."
Charles gave him a friendly smile and encouraged him, "Don't give up."
"Can you stop?" Christina turned to glare at him. (It's all his fault.)
Tony didn't dare to speak to these two big shots anymore.
"All right, just pretend that nothing happened."
Christina said and stood up. She looked a little annoyed, saying, "Enjoy your meal. I've got to go."
The farce ended with her words.
Seeing Christina leaving, Charles quickly chased after her and jokingly said, "Well, Miss Dickens, it
seems you still have a conscience?"
Charles had been with Christina for a long time and knew her well. She was a soft-hearted person
though she often talked harshly.
"Didn't you always call Henry a scumbag?"
The more miserable Henry was, the more embarrassed Christina was to ostracize him.
Christina was in a bad mood. She took the company car back and warned him through the window,
"Charles, don't try to bully him!"
Charles nodded with satisfaction, "Okay."
This was a strategic victory for him.
Charles wanted to help Henry. In fact, a woman like May was softhearted. As long as Christina didn't
try to cause trouble, Henry only needed to exert his pestering skills, and victory was right ahead of him.
The next moment, Charles' phone rang. A loud and furious voice reached his ear, "Charles, where are Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
you? How dare you forget to go on the blind date with Miss Preston tonight? You made her wait for an
hour. I could have given birth to a piece of bacon than you back then. You, get there now!"
Charles froze. He had forgotten about his blind date.
Christina, who had returned to the Hopkins residence, was a little strange all night. She felt guilty.
"Christina, are you feeling unwell?"
May had a big scare at the company this afternoon. Tony suddenly proposed to her in public, and so
many colleagues heckled her. At that time, she felt so embarrassed. Now, she collected herself to
come back here and didn't want her bad mood to affect her friend.
Christina's heart sank when she saw May care about her.
"How are you feeling now?" Christina lowered her head and kept stirring the bird's nest soup in the pot,
muttering.
May smiled and said, "I'm fine. The colleagues in the company are nice to me. You don't have to worry
about me."
When Christina heard this, she immediately felt guilty and knocked her head on the table.
May was startled, saying, "Are you okay?"
"Junior Mrs. Hopkins, Young Master Hopkins said he would come back in a week after his business
trip. Why did you knock your head on the table?" Nanny Faang routinely reported to Christina and
immediately raised her voice when she saw her action.
Christina looked up dejectedly with her forehead slightly bruised. And she miserably said, "Hurry up,
call Patrick back to save me!"
"Ah?"
Nanny Faang didn't know what was going on with Christina, but she didn't dare to delay and went to
make a call.
May knew Christina was just throwing a tantrum and couldn't help but laugh.
May quietly had the supper prepared by the Hopkins family and could not help but envy Christina. May
had been an obedient girl since she was a child. She lived a regular life and did not dare to overstep or
be willful.
Sometimes, she really wanted to indulge herself.
But she couldn't.
She had lived for almost thirty years, and it seemed that only when she was by Henry could she
occasionally be presumptuous.
Suddenly, May shook her head. She shouldn't think of him anymore.
Everyone had to start over.
However, she hesitated. This afternoon, when Tony proposed to her at the company, she seemed to
have seen Henry, but she was not sure.
"How is that possible?"
"He should have been moving on. How could he be so unkempt?" May muttered to herself but felt
worried helplessly.
Both women spent the night worrying.
Life was peaceful, and Henry seemed to have disappeared. May went to work every day to meet new
friends, and she always wore a smile after she came back from work.
"You just urgently called me back for this matter?"
Patrick had rushed home in three days from the one-week business trip. And unluckily, the employees
with him also suffered because of this.
After listening to Christina's worrying story, Patrick said with a long face, "So you just called me back
for someone else's matter?"
Christina was not in the mood to take care of Patrick's emotions. She held the quilt and sighed, "Can
you ask someone to find out how Henry is doing. He seemed to have a ring the other day. Alas, he
didn't even want to get up after he was thrown out by the security guards."
"Just leave him alone," Patrick refused.
Christina told Charles the same thing, but she just pretended to be heartless. And Patrick was the one
who was really ruthless.
Christina punched his chest and said righteously, "It's all Charles's fault to make him so miserable. I'm
the accomplice. I can't eat or sleep well now. Just ask someone to see how Henry is now. If he really
can't recover from the setback and can't get over it..."
Patrick's face turned sullen. "Say it again. You can't sleep or eat well for another man?" Patrick rolled
over and pressed Christina under him, squinting at her.
However, Christina was not afraid of him. "You are so heavy." She pushed his chest in disgust and
urged, "Help me find Henry."
Patrick couldn't stand it anymore. He quickly took off her pajamas and put his firm hand in, causing her
to scream repeatedly, "Christina, it seems you have forgotten you're my wife recently."
After making out with me in bed all night, she still dared to hold his arm and continue to talk about
Henry when she was asleep.
Patrick tucked Christina into bed. He was annoyed. (Does she have nothing else to do? So she always
thinks about those irrelevant people?)
All night long, Patrick had been thinking about whether to have another child.
(This may keep her busy.) Patrick thought.
