Seeing his reaction, Christina came closer to kiss his cheek. “Someone is knocking on the door. You don’t want my efforts to go to waste, do you?”

Nathaniel’s expression was icy as he gazed at the anxius Christina without a word.

“Hide in the bathroom. As long as no one discovers you here, you can still sleep with me tonight. Does that sound good?” she asked hastily.

Without waiting for a reply, Christina reached out and pulled him up from the bed.

As she had promised he could come over tonight, Nathaniel played along with her and went into the bathroom as told.

After the bathroom door shut behind him, Christina went to open the door of her room.

“Ms. Ada, I’m here to deliver your breakfast.”

Christina mistook the knock on her door for Julia’s, but it turned out to be the housekeeper delivering her breakfast. Once she had taken the tray, the housekeeper left, oblivious to the fact that Nathaniel was hiding in the room.

After Christina closed the door, Nathaniel emerged from hiding and crossed his arms in front of his chest. His body language made it obvious that he was unhappy with what Christina had asked him to

He couldn’t understand why he had to hide in his own house.

As Nathaniel came closer to Christina, the latter retreated step by step. In the end, she was forced to a

corner.

Cowering back, she offered him the bowl of noodles she was holding. “I understand if you’re upset. Sorry about that. Let me make it up to you with breakfast.”

Nathaniel glanced at the bowl of steaming noodles. She’s good at using something prepared by someone else to make it up to me, huh?

His lips curled as the iciness in his gaze faded away. “Ilave supper with me tonight to make it up to

me.”

It wasn’t a question but an order.

Christina’s heart, which had been racing, finally calmed down. “Deal. Stop being mad at me, okay?”

She was aware that if news of Nathaniel hiding in the bathroom was to leak out, it could tarnish his reputation as CEO of Hadley Corporation.

Nathaniel pulled her closer to him.

As a result, Christina’s forehead pressed against his lips “willingly.” After that, Nathaniel spun on his heels and left the room.

Christina left the Hadley residence after she had her breakfast. To speed up her progress, she brought the jasmine flowers that she planned to incorporate into her designs back to her office to work overtime.

She planned to cut out the flower petals one by one using fiber optics before sewing them onto the outfit to achieve a 3D effect.

Christina spent an entire day perfecting the prototype, as the process was long and arduous.

She also had to deal with some documents and submit some files for evaluation.

Christina was occupied with her tasks until it was time to get off work. Nathaniel told Sebastian to pick her up from work.

When she arrived at the CEO’s office, Nathaniel was still working. Christina settled on the couch. silently to continue on her jasmine design.

“Come here.”

Halting in her tracks, Christina turned around to head toward him. She then stood in front of his desk like a subordinate waiting for his order.

Nathaniel spared her a glance and gestured at the empty space beside him. “Sit here.”

Christina doubted her ears, but she still walked around his desk to see a stool beside his chair.

“You want me to sit here?” she asked incredulously.

Nathaniel grunted in acknowledgment and gestured for her to sit down.

His office is huge, but he won’t let me sit on the couch or char. Instead, he wants me to sit on a tiny stool. Is he bullying me? Ugh, forget it. I made a mistake this morning and promised to make it up to him.

Christina’s cheeks puffed up as she sat down on the sol reluctantly.

Pleased, Nathaniel ruffled her hair as though she was his adored pet.

His once empty heart was now full.

Nathaniel instructed Sebastian to get them some supper before going back to work. Time slowly ticked past, and none of them spoke a word.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. It was Madison who entered his office.

Every time Nathaniel worked overtime, she would also find an excuse to work overtime so she’d get to spend more time with him.

“Mr. Hadley, you have a gathering scheduled with the directors of Jointer Enterprise tomorrow afternoon to discuss the details of our collaboration for the second half of the year,” she reported.

Her eyes moved over Nathaniel’s chiseled features, from his strong and angular eyebrows to his well- defined nose and full, alluring lips. There wasn’t a woman alive who could resist his captivating aura.

Nathaniel merely grunted in response.

Instead of leaving right away, Madison gazed at him for a moment before asking hesitantly, “Am I going to attend the gathering with you?”

Nathaniel looked up from his document and spared her a frosty look. “If you are not free, I can ask Sebastian to keep me company.”

“Of course not,” Madison responded hastily. Realizing she had overreacted, she lowered her voice and added. “I was worried you’d bring Christina along.”
