Chapter 29 Shunning Christina

Christina left work in a cheerful mood and broke the news to Evelyn that her design had been selected by the company.

Evelyn was overjoyed, and she hurried into the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to celebrate.

Christina went into her bedroom, kicked off her slippers, and sprawled on the bed to scroll through her phone when she received an international call.

A hypnotic male voice said, “Have you gotten off work?”

Christina stared at the unfamiliar number and hesitated for a moment before saving it to her contacts.

Evelyn called her out for dinner a while later.
