Chapter 502
William, who had finished playing, stepped back happily with one hand on the golf club and a smile on his face.
Christina nodded politely. She picked up a golf club at the side and touched it. Then, she stood in front of William and narrowed her beautiful eyes. She aimed at a hole and was very serious. Christina’s movements were very standard and impeccable.
Her coordinated movements were very standard. It was obvious that she did professional movements.
The moment she swung, one could clearly see how soft her waist was. Joseph glanced at her movements and saw that she quietly used less strength. As expected, the ball did not go into the hole. It was only a little away from the hole.
Joseph smiled and sized up the woman again with a special gaze. She pretended to fail silently. She had learned the set of skills in the negotiating arena very well. !
At this moment, Joseph could already imagine how Christina usually negotiated with clients. He could basically imagine the
scene.
William laughed out loud. Christina put away her golf club, indicating that her skills were inferior. “William, you’re still the better one. I admit it.”
“I know you’re not doing your best. Come on.”
Joseph’s subtle movements were captured by Grace twice. “Hey William, I think you should have a rest now. Let the young people compéte. Christina, Joseph’s golf skills are not bad either. You can compete with him. William’s body is not as strong as yours. He is old.”
Afraid that Christina would feel awkward, Frank jeered, “Christina, why don’t you have a match? I want to bet.”
Christina felt that she was forced to be on a blind date. It was as if everyone had unknowingly paired her up with Joseph. As if they were saying to them, “Try to be together.”
She dodged the family’s urging to get married but was forced by them in this place. Christina smiled in her heart and thought, “It is true that I couldn’t escape. No wonder Joseph said it is indirect, and indeed it is indirect.”
She didn’t have any evidence at all when a group of elders urged her to get married. She could only feel their good intentions.
There was also Frank who was very excited. Previously, she did not realize that this man was so enthusiastic about gossiping. He was engaged and had changed his personality!
However, Christina would not disappoint them. She was still generous. She smiled and said, “Alright, Frank, how much will you bet? Then I would know what to do next. Joseph, why don’t we cooperate again?”
Joseph sneered. Christina was very smart. If one side bet a lot and won, Frank would be lost badly. Christina was prepared to cheat openly and even said it.
As soon as she said this, everyone laughed, especially William. He praised her directly, “Mr. Yamin is so lucky. Christina, I think you will win. Joseph, do you have any objections?”
Joseph smiled and rolled up the sleeves of his sweater. His arms were exposed in the air. “William, thank you. As long as everyone is happy.”
Christina glanced at Joseph from the corner of her eye. Once again, she thought Joseph was handsome. He was indeed handsome. It was not in vain that she had boldly chosen him as her cooperation partner. It was just that the price was a little expensive. She would get what she paid for. If he was extremely ugly, Angie would not believe it.
Ava was conflicted about who to bet on. If she bet on Christina, would she gain a favorable impression? Joseph probably wouldn’t care.
Frank said, “A small bet is good for the mood, but a big bet is bad for the body. Our family never gambles. Christina, you are quite capable. The first time I became a banker was when I set up a little casino for you.”
Christina smiled charmingly. She was not touched at all. It was not that she could not tell what Frank meant. “Then I’m -honored.”
Ava was afraid that Christina would be disgusted, so she did not touch her. She just stood beside Frank and said, “Frank, how much?”
“The starting price is 200 dollars, the upper limit is 1000 dollars, no more.”
Frank set the price.
“Then I’ll bet on Christina. 1000 dollars. I’m going to abandon Joseph, sorry.”
This personality was a little playful and cute. Frank liked this kind of cute girl, which was beyond Christina’s expectations. However, Frank had good taste.
Christina also liked this style of girl. It looked comfortable, and youthful, and had clear eyes. It was very comfortable to get
along with, unlike the girls in Lithern Club who were all scheming. When they got along, they first had to consider the other party’s motive.
In the end, Emma, Daniel, and Grace bet Joseph would win. Each bet was 1000 dollars. Ava and William bet Christina would win. Each bet was 1000 dollars.
The match began. Both parties had set the rules. Lady first. Joseph gentlemanly extended his hand to let Christina go first. Christina didn’t refuse. It didn’t matter who went first. Everyone went once.
Looking at Ava’s expectant and encouraging gaze, Christina wanted to laugh. She felt that Joseph had been abandoned and smiled helplessly. Then, she picked up the golf club and started to be serious. She didn’t want to disappoint this little girl. If she tried her best and lost, she would be able to live up to others and herself. She would not regret it.
The first ball, Christina, perfectly let the ball fall into the hole, while the ball of Joseph lingered around the hole, unable to enter no matter what. In the end, it lingered, at the entrance of the hole.
