“Are you saying someone intended to kill Granny and Mom?” Christina, whose brows were furrowed, plunged into deep thoughts.
“Or is it because your family had offended someone?” Francis was also baffled by the matter,
“That’s impossible,” answered Christina with resolution.
She knew very well what kind of person Evelyn and Sharon were. They certainly wouldn’t be on bad terms with someone.
“If we want to get to the bottom of this, we can only investigate the Gibson family.” Francis gazed at the calm look on her face and couldn’t figure out what was on her mind.
Suddenly, Christina raised her eyes and saw him staring at her with slanted eyes. “That’s it?”
“That’s all I managed to find out,” stated Francis honestly.
Christina mocked, “This little information is certainly not worth me signing a contract.”
“You’ve signed it anyway and can’t change your mind now. We’ll start working after fifteen minutes, You can rest for a while.” A half-smile hung on his face.
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
It must be because Christina didn’t sleep well last night that she seemed slightly deprived of sleep now.
Music started playing in the quiet room. She fell asleep while leaning on the couch while listening to the slow melody.
When she woke up, she realized she had overslept.
Why didn’t Francis wake me up?
After going downstairs, Christina saw Francis, who had put on make-up but had yet to change his clothes.
“No need to hurry. Take your time.”
Several people around Christina turned to her and began to b*tch about her.
How dare she let Mr. Fernando wait for her. I’ve never seen a stylist so full of herself
She’s simply taking Mr. Fernando’s patience for granted to act as she pleases.
Christina had no intention of explaining anything and scowled at Francis.
She walked over to the wardrobe, picked the outfits to match them, and worked until nighttime.
“There will be a fashion show later. Come with me so I can introduce you to some famous people in the industry.” Francis appeared behind Christina without making a sound.
“I still have things to do. Besides, there’s no term in the agreement saying I must accompany you to social
events
Christina declined his request frankly. For some reason, she felt very tired today.
“All right. Head home early to rest after you finish work
After the staff hastily packed the stuff, they swarmed around Francis and left with him.
After tidying the clothes he had worn earlier, Christina placed them in the storeroom and walked out the
door
Nathaniel’s car was waiting for her at the entrance instead of the car she rode here this morning.
It was difficult to hail a taxi in the high end residential area.
Thus, Christina had no choice but to get into the car.
Then, the car drove away.
Nathaniel’s hand was propped against the car window. He rested his temple on the back of his hand while reading the document in his hand with his eyes lowered. “Put these on.”
It was not until then that Christina noticed the branded shopping bag containing a dress and high heels beside her foot.
“Where are we going?”
“A banquet.”
“I don’t want to go.”
Nathaniel put away the documents in his hands while his gaze shifted to the stubborn look on her small face. “Get changed, or I’ll help you do that.”
His tone was very firm, leaving her no choice.
Christina regretted so much for taking care of him last night. Now that he has recovered, he is giving me a hard
time.
