A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 427

Chapter 427 Out Of The Frying Pan

Surprise flitted across their faces when the two locked gazes.

Christina had not expected to meet Elizabeth under such circumstances. Not bothering to conceal the disdain in her eyes, she said, “It was me.”

“What do you know? I was the one who made the designs. Moreover, I’ve won an award for fashion design before. What right do you, a designer who hasn’t seen much of the world, have to critique my work?” Elizabeth retorted.

Anger simmered in the depths of Elizabeth’s eyes. She had chosen this path precisely because Christina. was a designer. She wanted to beat the latter at her own game.

it was the most brutal method she could think of to exact retribution.

Elizabeth wanted to shame Christina so badly that the latter would be too afraid to show her face in public again!

the one on the receiving end,”

Even if Elizabeth wanted to invest in her, she had no intentions of working with such a tasteless brand.

Elizabeth was so livid that she could barely breathe. She tugged at Francis’ clothes, demanding. “Fire this stylist immediately! I’ll leave if you refuse to do so!”

She did not invest a hundred million only to be insulted like this.

Christina arched her brow coolly. “Agreed. Sacking me to keep the investment is a wise decision.”

Languidly, Francis clasped his hands before his chest. “I wasted a lot of effort to hire Christina. I am not going to fire her.”

“Francis, do you understand what you’re saying?” Elizabeth thought her ears were playing tricks on her.

Francis’ eyes were calm as he responded, “Yes. My stylist deemed your clothing unfit for me to wear. Hence, this is where our cooperation ends. Please leave.”

He had just rejected an investment of a hundred million!

The staff was flabbergasted. Although they knew what the investment meant to Francis, it was a completely different matter whether he rejected it for personal reasons or if he rejected it because of Christina.

Elizabeth clenched her fists tightly, imagining crushing Christina between her hands. She would not feel. appeased until she had utterly crushed the latter. “Previously, it was Mr. Hadley, and now it’s Francis. Christina, you’re quite a willy one. Just you wait!”

After shooting Christina one last glare, she turned around and flounced out angrily.

Francis reached out and gently cupped Christina’s jaw, his fingertips massaging her tender skin playfully. Shocked, Christina instinctively slapped the man’s inappropriate touch away.

“Since you drove my female companion away, shouldn’t you compensate me by taking her place?” Francis smiled faintly.

Christina’s lips twitched faintly as she belatedly realized his motives. So that’s why Francis stood on my side. Out of the frying pan into the fire… “Your new female companion is only a phone call away. It doesn’t have to be me.”

Francis stared at her with mesmerizing yet cold eyes. It was as if he intended to completely submerge her into his gaze. “The show is about to start. If you can convince Ms. Bennett to come back, I’ll let you off.”

Christina knew that was a futile endeavor. There’s no way I would beg Elizabeth for anything.

“The event begins in two hours. Hurry, get your outfit and makeup on.” Without giving her time to think it over, Francis dragged her into the dressing room.

Inside, the racks were filled with the season’s latest designs. It was not difficult to come up with two looks from the selection available.

Christina sighed softly, feeling as if she was being forced into a corner.

What had appeared to be a simple job took way more time than it looked. Christina’s head spun as she hurried to get ready her makeup and clothing.

Meanwhile, the sound of a Maybach could be heard outside the exhibition’s entrance at eight o’clock.

The temperature in the car was cold as its air conditioning was blasting at full power. With a tablet in his hand, Nathaniel sat in the backseat while going over some work documents. Since he knew that Christina was currently at work, he made no attempt to call her.
