Chapter 58 Mick White
“Abortion?” The corner of Christine White’s mouth twitched breathlessly, “Debby , you’re a little too big in the head, I can’t even get pregnant if I want to, and I’m having an abortion!”
“Since it’s not abortion, what the hell … are you doing?”
“Okay, let’s not talk about this, what are you doing up here looking for me, aren’t you afraid that your manager will catch you in a braid?” Christine White was afraid that Debby York would say something that would make people’s jaws drop, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
“Our manager is out, can’t catch me in the act.” Debby York held a glass of water with a smug look on her face, “I just heard you were back and came up here to see you, by the way, to say something!”
“What’s up?” Christine White asked as she turned on her computer.
“Of course it’s a reunion thing.”
“Reunion?” Christine White froze.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Debby York squinted at her, “I don’t suppose you’ve forgotten?”
Christine White gave two dry chuckles.
“I’ll go!” Debby York slapped the table, “Christine you’re good, you even managed to forget our company’s annual reunion day.”
“So many things have happened lately er, where do I remember all this, and I’m not interested in the reunion, I guess it’s just going to be another sing-along, nothing new.” Christine White said with a lack of interest.
Debby York wagged her finger and smiled mysteriously, “No, no, no, no, this time is different, our company has become extraordinarily wealthy since it was acquired by President Lane and became a subsidiary of The Lane Family Group, and President Lane specially allocated a large sum of money for the company’s reunion. ”
“Seriously? Who did you hear that from?” Christine White looked at her suspiciously.
It’s the sort of thing she didn’t even know about as Baird Lane’s secretary.
“Of course it’s our manager, I overheard him on the phone with President Lane, but that’s not what’s important, what’s important is that we’re going out of the country for this reunion.” Debby York rubbed her hands together excitedly.
Christine White was a bit unconvinced, “There are hundreds of people in the company, how much would it cost for all of them to go abroad!”
“So I didn’t say that all of them went abroad ah, only a part of them went abroad for the reunion, basically the company’s top management and a group of well-behaved employees, and luckily, I was elected!” Debby York flung the work card in front of her chest, the whole person had a look of owed dejection.
Christine White shook her head with a lost smile, then asked with concern, “So what country is it going to?”
As Baird Lane’s personal secretary, it was only natural for her to tag along.
But she hadn’t been out of the country in her entire life, so she had to do her homework before she went, so she wouldn’t embarrass him.
“I don’t know about that, the exact announcement hasn’t been made yet, I just heard it’s for skiing, by the way Christine, do you ski?” Debby York glanced up and down at Christine White.
Christine White waved her hand hurriedly.
Debby York nodded fervently, “I guess so, seeing as how you can’t ski either.”
“What’s wrong with not being able to ski, I can stand around and watch.” Christine White said with a skim.
“It’s no fun just to watch, you have to know a little.”
“I’d rather not, such an extreme sport probably isn’t for me, come on, hurry back, I’ve got to work.” Christine White pulled Debby York up from her chair and pushed her towards the door.
Debby York wanted to stay a little longer, but looked at the time and figured the manager was coming back, so she had to reluctantly leave.
Once she left, the office was instantly much quieter.
Christine White exhaled softly and returned to sit behind her desk, murmuring, “Skiing ah ….. … Baird should be able to, right?”
She immediately jumped in front of her computer and searched for information about skiing.
Ten minutes later, Christine White slumped disheveledly on the table, a sad expression on her face.
She had thought about reading some information to see if it was possible for her to learn how to ski, but when she finished she resigned herself to the fact that just literally talking about skiing tutorials was so complicated, so imagine how hard it would be to actually do it.
This kind of program was really not for someone as unathletic as her.
She’d be better off as an onlooker, and if Baird Lane went skiing, she’d be able to sneak a picture of him skiing, which would be awesome!
With that in mind, Christine White opened a shopping site, handpicked a camera and bit the bullet.
After the purchase, before she could flesh out the balance on her card, the cell phone she had set aside buzzed.
Christine White picked it up and glanced at it, and the first thought in her mind was to refuse to listen.
But at the thought of the consequences of refusing to listen, she sighed and ran her finger over the green answer icon.
“Mick .”
“Sis!” A slightly gruff and mineralized male voice came over the phone, on fire.
Christine White rubbed her temples, “Can I help you?”
Shouldn’t be here to ask her for money!
“I’m broke, call me some money!” Mick White ordered.
Christine White said in her heart that it was true, and at the same time a sadness rose.
These family members of hers, who never came to her on a regular basis, came to her for money and never asked how she was doing.
It was obvious that she was their daughter and sister too, but they treated her like a mobile ATM and would make a scene if she didn’t give it.
Sometimes she really felt so tired!
“I’m sorry Mick , I’m broke.” Christine White apologized.
On the other end of the phone, Mick White immediately jumped to his feet in anger, “No money? Sis, you can’t be playing games with me, my brother-in-law is the president of The Lane Family Group, and you as the only mistress of The Lane Family, you’re telling me that you don’t have any money?”
“I really don’t have any money, you’re not unaware of how cold my relationship with your brother-in-law is, so how could I possibly have the good sense to use his money.”
“Then I don’t care, you’re a couple, what are you embarrassed about, I think it’s obvious that you don’t want to give it to me.” Mick White did not comply.
“If I really didn’t want to give it to you, I wouldn’t even be answering this call from you.” Christine White pursed her small lips and faintly asked; “Last time, your brother-in-law only gave mom five million dollars, so you ran out of money so quickly?”
“How much is five million dollars, it’s not enough to spend, brother-in-law’s several tens of billions of dollars to give us five million dollars, this is too stingy, not a few times to spend it all, do not know to give more!” Mick White complained.
Christine White was so furious at hearing this from him that her stomach lurched a little.
She pressed her stomach, her voice raised, “Mick White, five million is not enough, how much more do you want? Your brother-in-law has tens of billions of dollars, that’s his own, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with you, you’d better not think about it, and let me ask you, where did you spend the five million dollars?”
It’s only been a few days and five million dollars is gone.
If we give them another five million, at this rate, I’m afraid it won’t take long.
“I … I took it to start a business.” Mick White stammered back, his tone obviously a bit distraught.
Christine White is not a fool, how could she not hear it, and smiled coldly, “Starting a business? That’s fine, tell me what kind of business you’re starting.”
“That’s out of your hands; anyway, you hurry up and pay me.” Mick White urged impatiently.
Christine White took a breath and forced herself to calm down, “I don’t have any money!”
“Christine White, are you getting a hard skin?” Upon hearing her still say that, Mick White burst into a rage and didn’t even call out to his sister.
Christine White closed her eyes in self-deprecation, “Mick , no matter how mad you get, I still don’t have any money, I gave all my money to mom last time.”
“Hmph, if you don’t give it to me, then I’ll ask my brother-in-law for it.” Mick White threatened.
“You go!” Christine White spoke with an expressionless face, “Your brother-in-law doesn’t like me, you know that, if you want your brother-in-law to divorce me, then you go.”
“Divorce?” Mick White was stunned and his temper weakened, “Sis, it’s not that serious, is it?”
