Turning Of the Tide by Diana Sander

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, “Then why isn’t there any

information about him in this city on the Internet?”

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.

“He’s low-key and never accepts interviews. You guys definitely don’t know him. He does good deeds

without leaving his

name.”

“That’s really low-key.” 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,

“Let’s go back to the hotel.”

“You said your name is Christina, right? Christina, you still haven’t seen the boss?” asked the driver.

Christina was not in a very good mood and only said lightly, “Yes, maybe he doesn’t want to see me.

Let’s go back to the hotel. I’ll give you more money later.”

The car started, but the driver did not drive too fast. “Christina, don’t be unhappy. Do you see the

clouds in that corner? It should snow at night. It looks better in our city because our buildings aren’t

very tall. The snow accumulated on the roof is like a palace in a fairy tale. It’s beautiful. Just wait and

see, I believe it will definitely snow.”

Christina was amused. “If you’re so eloquent, why aren’t you in sales?”

“The sales results and salary are unstable. I need a stable income. Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease.

I’ll always be worried that I won’t be able to have another meal.”

“I guess that’s true to a certain extent. Everyone’s choices are different. Some people like this kind

of uncertainty as a kind of challenge. Others like an easy life and don’t like to run around. It depends

on what life a person wants.”

The driver smiled and scratched his head. “Haha, Christina, what you said makes sense. Although I

don’t understand, it sounds very right.”

Christina was amused again.

Because it was too cold, the car drove back to Sapphire Hotel.

The driver placed a hand on Christina’s 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. “Christina, 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.”

The driver rubbed his butt and shoulders while groaning in pain.

This made Christina even more apologetic. “Sorry, it’s a conditioned reflex. In the future, stand in front of me and

talk to me. Don’t pat my shoulder or touch me from behind.”

After saying that, she was still a little worried. “Why don’t I take you to the hospital to take a look? Just in case you

hurt your bones.”

He had fallen quite hard.

The driver quickly waved his hand and shook his head like a rattle drum. “No need, no need. I’m wearing a down

jacket. I just fell on my butt. I’ll be fine after resting for a while.”

“I’ll compensate you. Give me your number and I’ll transfer it to you.”

As she spoke, Christina glanced at the QR code on the car. “I’m sorry. I’m just like this. I feel more at ease if you

give me a number.”

“Just transfer me 100 dollars. If there’s a problem, I’ll just take a break in the afternoon.”

Christina transferred 400 dollars to him. “I’ve 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. I’ll be in charge of the follow-up

treatment.”

“No need, no need. Christina, it’s really not necessary. It’s a small matter. Goodbye, Christina. I’ll get going first.”

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

couldn’t 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, “Give

Benjamin compensation.”

Ethan nodded and asked, “Mr. Turner, should we get someone else to protect you?”

Joseph took a puff of his cigarette and blew out a smoke ring. His voice was low and magnetic. “There’s no need.

She has been running around for two days and it has been quite cold. It’s going to snow at night.”

He would not torture her anymore.

Ethan replied respectfully, “Yes, Mr. Turner.”

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 hotel’s 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. “Ms.

Yamin, you’re quite leisurely and elegant. Are you watching the snow?”

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. “Are you looking for me?”

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.

“Wait a moment. I’ll ask you a few questions first.” 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 Christina’s exquisite face. “Put it on. It’ll be cold

later. It’s snowing and it’s not suitable to wear a coat. The jacket is new and hasn’t been worn.”

“Thank you.” Christina thanked him.

Joseph continued to look at her calmly. He raised his hand and said gently, “Ask away.”

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. “Firstly, how did you know I was here? Secondly, did you

misunderstand something? I’m not looking for you.”

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. “Ms. Yamin, I’m afraid you’ve misunderstood something. This hotel is my permanent hotel. I’m

from Sapphire City. Secondly… aren’t you looking for Xaynum’s boss?”

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, “So when did you come to Sapphire City?”

Joseph asked calmly, “When did you make an appointment?”

Christina took a deep breath. She placed her elbows on the table and spread them out, feeling

speechless. “So you’re saying that I called you back from/Athana? Are you joking with me? All

because of a deal that might not succeed?”

At this moment, Christina thought of something and was confused. “Wait, aren’t you a university

professor?”

Christina remembered that Joseph had not denied it last time.

Joseph looked at Christina’s serious expression and chuckled. “I never said anything about my

profession.”

The two of them seemed to be in a debate. “But you gave an example of Frank, didn’t you?” At that

time, Joseph gave an example of Frank as a CEO who wouldn’t 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.

Joseph’s lips curled into a smile as he bewitched Christina. His pleasant and magnetic voice sounded

again. “Frank is Frank. I’m me.”

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. “You’re 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?”

Joseph naturally noticed Christina’s unhappiness. “What if I say it’s because of you?”

Because of her? These words inevitably made Christina’s heart tremble. Their eyes met, and

Christina’s heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously held her breath and did not say anything.

Joseph’s eyes were dark and deep, like a bottomless ocean. He stared fixedly at Christina’s 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. “Didn’t you say that you believe in non-marriage?”

Moreover, they had agreed not to talk about feelings. She was almost 30 years old, so she naturally

understood the other meaning in Joseph’s words. He was flirting with her.

“Plans can’t keep up with changes. Plans change with the person you meet. Does Ms. Yamin have

such an idea?”

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?

“You’re silent. I’m not in a hurry. This answer can be answered slowly. Weren’t you anxious to find

me? Tell me what you

think.”

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 Christina’s hands were moving and figured that she should be cold. “I

don’t like to talk about cooperation outside in the cold. Ms. Yamin, shall we change the venue?”

Christina felt quite cold. So be it. She agreed readily. “Sure. Where are we going?”

“My room, do you mind?”

“There’s nothing to mind. We’re only talking about cooperation, so there’s no need for me to make a

fuss. I believe in Mr.

Turner’s character.”

Joseph chuckled, making Christina doubt whether she could trust him. This man was starting to be

unpredictable. Christina

felt like she had been tricked.
