Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon)

Chapter 515 Joseph brought Christina to the presidential suite on the top floor.

They took the private elevator.

When she arrived at Joseph's room, Room Christina finally saw the facilities of this room. The decor was completely different from her room. She had never been to other rooms, so she naturally thought that this was the unified decor of the presidential suite.

Little did she know that this was Joseph's exclusive room in the hotel. It had been specially renovated, and this room would not be used externally.

Joseph glanced at Christina and said, “Make yourself comfortable.” Christina nodded politely and sat down on the sofa. The temperature in the room was very high. She took off the jacket that Joseph had put on her, folded them, and placed them on the side of the sofa. Right then, Joseph handed her a cup of hot milk.

“Warm yourself up and don’t catch a cold.” Joseph glanced at the neatly folded jacket from the corner of his eye.

Indeed, Christina's heart was warmed in an instant. She took the milk and the temperature of the glass spread throughout her body through her palm. “Thank you. | want to talk to you about cooperation and the price of the instrument.” Joseph took a sip of warm water and placed the cup on the table. The two of them sat opposite each other in the living room and talked for a while. Joseph got up to take off his coat, then hung it on the back of the sofa and glanced at Christina. “Take off your own coat. The temperature in the room is a little high. The temperature difference when we go out later will make it easy to catch acold.” “Yes,” Christina replied calmly. She thought that Joseph was quite meticulous.

Christina put down the glass of milk and took off her coat. She folded her coat habitually and placed it aside.

Joseph looked at her steadily. Seeing that she picked up the cup, took a sip, and wanted put it down, he said, “Let's talk after you've finished drinking the milk. There's no hurry.” “Alright,” Christina replied. It was her first time negotiating, and she felt a little uncomfortable.

A few minutes later, Christina put down the glass and Joseph handed her a tissue. She looked up and stared at Joseph for a few seconds. Her lips curved into a smile as she took it generously and wiped her lips. “Do you take care of everyone so well?” “You're the sixth,” Joseph replied as he leaned against his back.

Upon hearing this, Christina did not feel good. She felt a sense of loss in the depths of her heart. The smile on her face was a little stiff, but it disappeared in a few seconds.

The next second, Joseph's lips curled into a faint smile. “Ms. Yamin, aren’t you going to ask me if the other five were my girlfriends? No matter what, we've worked together once before Aren't you concerned?” If there were five other girls, they couldn't all be his biological sisters. Why should she ask? Christina's tone was neither good nor bad, and was rather cold instead. “I don’t think this is something | should be concerned about. It should be something your parents care about.” Joseph nodded and looked like he agreed. He clasped his hands in his lap and explained, “Yes, that makes sense. Three are family. One is Sherri, and the other is Rose. You're the sixth.” The disappointment on Christina’s face gradually dissipated, and she smiled despite herself. “No wonder your Arillion name is ‘family’.

Joseph shook his head. “That's my father’s Arillion name, not mine.” Daniel valued his family more than anything else. His family was his bottom line, so he liked this Arillion word very much.

Christina felt that the topic would deviate if she continued. “Alright, can we start talking about work now, Mr. Turner?” Joseph raised his hand to signal her to start, and this single gesture was full of CEO vibes. How did Christina misjudge him? Several times, she felt his aura was similar to Trevon’s, but her mind played tricks on her, and she actually thought he was a professor.

“Ms. Yamin?” Joseph looked at Christina, who was staring at him in a daze, and called out playfully and gently.

Christina, who had lost her composure, came back to her senses and could only chat off script. The documents were all in the room. Fortunately, she already memorized them. “First of all, let me talk about our Yamin Group’s hospital. | think...” During this period, Joseph paid a lot of attention to Christina's feelings. From time to time, he would react so that Christina would not be singing a one-man show. He could also feel that Christina was listening seriously and was not being perfunctory. When one person was serious, the other person's perfunctory attitude was the most disgusting.

During the negotiations, Christina was very serious and did not lose focus at all. This made Joseph experience the scene of Christina’s usual negotiations.

Two hours passed, making this negotiation the longest one in Christina's history. She said nervously, “Mr. Turner, what do you think? Can you give us a discount? Athana Hospital only has one general hospital, but the Yamin Group has many. We will continue to open branches.” After a moment of silence, Joseph spread his legs and got up to pour water. He came over with two glasses of warm water in his hand. His slender legs were wrapped in pants, and his tight sweater outlined the perfect proportions of his figure.

Joseph handed over the water. “Drink some water to moisten your throat. We'll do as you say. However, the contract will be sent over in a few days as the civilian staff hasn't gone to work yet. | can’t call the people from the legal department to work during the holiday season. Ms. Yamin, do you mind waiting a few days in Sapphire City? Let's celebrate the success of our collaboration again at noon tomorrow.” Why did it sound so strange that they had succeeded in working together again? After the negotiation, Christina had already looked at Joseph several times. Damn, this man was really fucking handsome. “Sure, it's what | should do.” It was not easy to negotiate the price until it was a few times cheaper than Haililand’s. If she went back immediately and did not sign the contract, she would have wasted a few hours. Her two days of traveling would have been in vain.

Naturally, she had to sign the contract before going back. At most, she would treat it as an annual relaxation and give herself a break.

Joseph glanced at Christina with a faint smile and continued to cross his legs. A few minutes later, Christina stood up and picked up her jacket from the sofa. As she put it on, she said, “I'll take my leave first. Tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal. Please contact me by phone.” “Okay.” Joseph did not stop Christina from leaving. He could already tell that Christina was uncomfortable. If one person had nothing to do with the other, then there would be no such discomfort.

However, this discomfort would disappear in a few days.

Christina returned to her room. Her heart was beating a little fast, and she was no longer as calm as when she was negotiating just now. She held her chest with one hand and held her phone with the other.

She walked to the window in a daze and pulled open the curtains. The snow was still falling. A snowflake drifted to the window and stuck to it like a white flower.

Her phone dinged, bringing her back to her senses. It was a message from Joseph, “I'm the host, so it’s not right for you to treat me to a meal. You can treat me next time. During the period of your stay in Sapphire City, I'll take care of your food and accommodation.” Christina felt that things were out of her control, including her...

She wanted to refuse, but before she could, her phone showed that he was typing. Joseph’s message came a step earlier, “Ms.

‘Yamin, give me a chance to perform.” It was very difficult to refuse. Plus, Christina was not a pretentious person. She replied to his message, “Then | shall shamelessly freeload on Mr. Turner.” Joseph replied, “It's an honor. Ms. Yamin is indeed straightforward.” Just as she replied, a call from Charlie came in. “Christina, how is it? If it doesn’t work out, come back. | saw that the weather over at Sapphire City is quite cold. It's snowing, but it hasn't snowed yet in Athana.” Christina reported her results truthfully. “Charlie, the matter has been settled. The price is even lower than the price we paid in Haililand. It's just that the contract can only be signed in a few days.” “We've already negotiated, but the price is even lower now? Christina, how did you negotiate this price?” Charlie was in disbelief and he spoke in a higher tone.

“Charlie, don’t worry. I've been negotiating with the boss for two and a half hours. It's just that the company’s legal affairs have to go to work in a few days.” Actually, Christina knew that the legal department could work at any time as long as Joseph said one sentence. However, she could not bring it up. Joseph had already given her benefits. She could not force the company’s employees to work and sign a contract for her.

Charlie quickly said, “l don’t mean that. I'm just curious why the price is lower than Haililand’s. Did you promise anything?” “No, | just compared it to him and explained everything. The other party agreed readily.” Since his daughter had completed the business negotiation, Charlie did not say much. He said with concern, “Since it will take a few days, why don’t you come back first?” Charlie was also heartbroken that Christina had to be alone outside during the holiday season.

“Charlie, I'll stay here for a few days and treat it as a holiday. By the way, did Angie fly into a rage when she found out that | ran away?” Charlie snorted. “You only remembered now if we would be implicated. Don’t worry, nothing happened. It's all because Joseph saved you. After you left, he went to Sapphire City. Your mother was overjoyed was hear that.” “Your mother would love it if you got married right there in Sapphire City and then returned to Athana,” Charlie thought to himself.

Christina thought to herself, “Angie is really resourceful. She even knows that Joseph is here in Sapphire City. How will Angie feel if | tell them that the boss of the equipment company is Joseph? “Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll talk about it when | get back.

“It'll be awkward if Angie is too surprised and comes to Sapphire City to confirm it.” Christina said, “Alright, Charlie, I'll hang up first. I'll be back in a few days. If you have nothing to do, persuade Angie to stop disrupting the matchmaker’s work. Tell her to practice yoga and stop watching those television s.” They were the ones who suffered when Angie could not stop watching television s.

After hanging up the phone, Christina was still standing in front of the window and looking at the snow. Naturally, she thought that Joseph had really rushed over because of her appointment.

She looked out of the window without blinking. Another snowflake was stuck to the glass. Through the glass, she touched it with her fingers, as if she could touch that cold feeling.

She blew a breath of hot air on the glass, which blurred the snowflakes outside. Using her index finger, she wrote two words on the window, “Joseph Turner”.

What kind of person was he? He was sometimes cold, sometimes warm, and sometimes unfathomable...

At noon the next day, Christina specially dressed up. She wore a white, unconventional high-neck sweater, a black cashmere coat cinched at the waist, and a pair of flesh-pink high heels. Her wavy curls cascaded over her shoulders, and a tassel earring swayed naturally from one ear.

She gave off a simple and magnanimous feeling. Her temperament was feminine, charming, and attractive.

Sapphire Hotel's restaurant was on the eighth floor. Today’s temperature was even lower than yesterday's, and the snow was twice as heavy as yesterday's. It could be said that it was snowing heavily. There was thick snow on both sides of the road, as if there was a thick blanket covering them.

All the greenery and branches were also white. The entire Sapphire City was like a white imperial city.

It was a beautiful, pure city.

In order to make Christina feel at ease, Joseph did not book a private room. Instead, it was in the hall. At this moment, there were still a few couples in the hall.

Joseph gentlemanly pulled out a stool for Christina to sit down. “Please sit.” “Thank you.” Joseph took off his black coat, revealing the white sweater inside. The two of them were dressed like a couple. This made Christina subconsciously want to tie her hair, but she realized her hair was loose.

Noticing her movements, Joseph asked, “Do you need to tie your hair?” “No, thank you.” After dressing up, the woman was indeed good-looking. When the food was served, Joseph was still a gentleman. “Do you need my help to cut the steak?” Christina was the type who did everything herself. She refused again, but Joseph was not embarrassed. He picked up his fork and asked, “Do you find this scene very familiar?” This was Joseph's second time asking this question. Christina had a good memory and remembered that the last time he asked this question was in the car.
