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.
