Chapter 186
It was already past one o’clock when Crystal woke up. The secretary had been paying attention to the
movements in the office. When Crystal woke up, she hurried in and asked, “Miss Evans, do you feel
uncomfortable?”
Crystal felt dizzy for a while and touched her forehead. “I don’t seem to have a fever anymore.”
The secretary said, “It should be the effect of the medicine. Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Crystal thought for a moment. “… I’m hungry.”
“…” The secretary quickly said, “I’m ordering some food now. What would you like to eat?”
Crystal looked around but did not see Harold. He frowned and asked, “Has Master White eaten yet?”
“No.” The secretary said, “Master White is too busy. He’s still in the conference room. We usually don’t
disturb him at times like this.”
They didn’t have the guts to disturb him.

Crystal took a look at her phone and found that it was ten minutes past one o’clock.
“Please order two sets of light dishes for me,” Crystal said.
The secretary hesitated and said, “Master White probably won’t finish the meeting until three or four
o’clock in the afternoon…”
She wanted to tactfully persuade Crystal not to order Harold’s food.
Crystal blinked her eyes and said, “You may have misunderstood… I want to eat all the food.”
The secretary replied, “… Okay.”
It didn’t take long for Crystal to finish the meal in the canteen of the White Group. The White Group was
a big company. They even had professional chefs. The food in the canteen was no less than
that in the hotel outside.
In the morning, Crystal ate half a bowl of porridge because she was sick. Now that her appetite was
back, she ate two bowls of rice slowly.
When she was full, she leaned back on the sofa and searched for Christy’s personal information.
Christy’s evaluation was very high. She was a renowned master and an inheritor of intangible cultural
heritage. Her works were highly praised overseas, especially the Thousand. Carp embroidery. It was
vivid and beautiful.
Previously, Crystal felt that Christy’s plum blossoms were a bit rigid. However, when she looked at the
Thousand Carp embroidery, she felt that Christy was worthy of such praise.
She didn’t know if her master would be able to come up with such an embroidery as the Thousand
Carp embroidery…
While Crystal was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open. She
turned her head and saw Larry walking in.
“Crystal.” Larry coughed and said, “I heard Luke say that Marcus left you on the mountain and left. It
was my fault. I shouldn’t have given you to him and apologized to you.”
“I’m fine now.” Crystal said, “And it’s not your fault.”

Larry sat down next to Crystal and said, “I didn’t expect Marcus to do such a thing. I’m not very familiar
with him, but he’s quite reliable. Who knew…”
Crystal lowered her head and said, “Maybe he only treats me like this.”
Seeing Crystal’s drooping head, Larry felt even more guilty. “Do you know that your man has avenged
you?”
Crystal was confused. “What?”
“You don’t know?” Larry said, “Marcus originally had an endorsement deal to sign with the White
Group, but this morning, your man ordered not to sign it, so we changed the endorser temporarily. This
is a big loss for Marcus, not to mention the seven million dollar contract fee…”
Crystal’s eyes widened. “Seven million dollar contract fee?”
“What’s wrong?”
Crystal said sadly, “Marcus is so rich…”
Larry didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “He’s popular, so the price isn’t high.”
