A Crazy Night (Nathaniel and Christina) novel Chapter 751

Chapter 751 Diverting Trouble

The woman remained silent for a while, possibly pondering whether Melanie was attempting to deceive

her.

Melanie took the initiative to explain, “I have an urgent matter to attend to. This invitation was bought online at a rather high price. I don’t want my hard–earned money to go to waste. If you’re not interested, I’ll sell it to someone else.”

As Melanie turned to leave, the woman called after her, “How much? I’ll buy it.”

Melanie simply offered an amount, “Two thousand!”

The woman hesitated. “Will you take fifteen hundred? That’s all I have on me.”

Feigning a pained expression, Melanie sighed. “All right. Fifteen hundred it is. I wouldn’t agree to this price if it weren’t for my hurry.”

The woman handed over all the cash from her wallet to Melanie, who then handed over her work badge without giving the money a second look before chucking it into her bag.

The woman examined the work badge in her hand and was visibly taken aback. “This isn’t an invitation.”

Melanie smiled slyly. “Isn’t a work badge more useful than an invitation? You can get in and out of the show any time you want and gather autographs until your hand goes numb, without having to queue up or stake out to see your idol. You’ve spent your fifteen hundred well.”

The woman said no more. She put on the work badge and headed for the entrance of the show.

Watching her receding figure, Melanie’s lips curled into a cold smirk.

Christina, Victoria, let’s see how smoothly your fashion show will proceed now!

Meanwhile, the backstage was in a whirl of activity.

Victoria firmly refused to allow Christina to help, insisting that the latter supervise from the sidelines. Victoria was caught in a flurry of activities, instructing the models and directing makeup artists for last- minute makeovers. It was a whirlwind of chaos.

Meanwhile, Christina sat at the side, leisurely watching everyone hustle and bustle, fully enjoying the privilege of being the boss.

“Take a break. Have some water.” Christina handed a bottle of water to Victoria.

Victoria, immersed in perfecting the embellishments of Floral Goddess, was far too engrossed to lift her hands for a drink. Just as she was about to decline the offer, Christina unscrewed the bottle cap and brought the water to her lips.

Victoria beamed in delight. “Christina, you’re even more thoughtful than my boyfriend.”

Christina couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Right. Drink this and stop talking.”

Victoria ceased talking and downed nearly half the bottle of water before she recommenced her work.

“I’ll take a look around. Carry on at your own pace. There’s no need to hurry,” suggested Christina, finding her own idle sitting rather unproductive.

“Go on,” Victoria replied, not lifting her head.

With the water bottle set down, Christina exited backstage.

A figure swiftly brushed past her as she was about to walk toward the audience. Christina noticed that the figure was seemingly trying to conceal itself.

After the incident with Melanie, Christina had become hyper–aware of the comings and goings of the staff. She turned to the person and ordered in a low voice, “Halt!”

The mysterious figure obeyed and slowly turned, albeit keeping their head low to avoid Christina’s gaze.

“Which area are you assigned to? I don’t remember seeing you before,” Christina queried, eyeing the unidentified worker’s tag. “What’s your name?”

The person did not reply and clutched the worker’s badge tighter.

Spotting this, Christina’s suspicions only grew.
