“I saw you cuddle with Madison that night, so stop playing dumb.” Mentioning the incident caused anger to wash over Christina, and she stomped on Nathaniel’s feet.
As she intentionally used her heel to step on him, he grunted from the pain and immediately released her hand.
“Christina…”
Nathaniel wanted to say something else, but Christina had already gotten in her car and stepped on the accelerator, leaving him standing alone in the same spot.
But when did I ever cuddle with Madison?
When Christina returned to her office, the first thing she saw was the pile of files on her desk. The sight reminded her of how much she truly disliked the daily routine of sitting in the office and going through those documents. What she enjoyed the most was sketching and coming up with design drawings in silence.
Following behind her, Lina came in and said gently, “Ms. Steele, there are several more documents awaiting your attention. We need to pick up the pace.”
“All right,” Christina replied in a rather defeated tone.
At nightfall, she settled all the urgent documents and gathered the files she had prepared before leaving the company.
Upon arriving at Nathaniel’s doorway, Christina knocked on the door gently.
Soon, the door opened, but the person standing behind it was Madison instead of Nathaniel.

“Is there something you need?” The woman positioned herself to block the entrance, seemingly reluctant to let Christina inside.
Christina narrowed her eyes and mocked, “When did you become so shameless, Ms. Taggart? Aren’t you afraid of tarnishing your reputation by showing up in a married man’s room in the middle of the night?”
Madison’s face paled at that, for what Christina said was indeed an irrefutable fact.
Naturally, Christina was not about to let the woman off just yet as she continued to make scathing remarks. “Now that I think about it, I guess it makes sense that you have no fear of what others will say about you since you are indeed a shameless woman, to begin with.”
“Christina, you should stop making a fool out of yourself if you know what’s good for
you.

Now that I’m here, you’d better leave-” Before Madison could finish her sentence, Nathaniel walked out from inside the room and saw the two women standing at the door.
The tense atmosphere was akin to a barrel of oil that was ready to ignite with the slightest spark.
“Why haven’t you left yet?” Nathaniel asked, his tone cold and indifferent.
In truth, Madison was here earlier to deliver some documents. She deliberately kept Sebastian occupied and came to see Nathaniel alone.
As an awkward expression spread across her face, she stammered, “I-I’ll take my leave now.”
Nathaniel’s gaze fell on Christina, and he ordered in a commanding tone, “Come in.”
Christina arched a brow. Wearing a half-smile on her face, she remarked, “How can I enter when someone is blocking the doorway?”
With that, Madison could only step aside reluctantly to allow Christina to enter. The moment the latter crossed the threshold, she shut the door right in Madison’s face.
The resounding bang felt like a painful slap across Madison’s face.
She had thought that her relationship with Nathaniel had improved, but alas, it seemed that she was still a nobody in his eyes.
Inside the room, Christina put down her briefcase and immediately picked up the documents that Madison had brought.
I wonder why this woman keeps approaching Nathaniel repeatedly.
“What are you looking at?” Nathaniel asked.
Since Christina had been reading a lot of documents lately, she could tell at a glance that these were all unimportant files. Did Madison really go through all this trouble just to deliver a few sheets of worthless paper?
She set aside the files in her hand and took out the collaboration contract with Gibson Corporation. While handing it to Nathaniel, she urged, “If there’s no problem with it, sign it quickly.”
Her attitude toward Nathaniel was as if he had owed her something.
All along, people who approached him for collaboration would display ingratiating behavior to please him. It was the first time he encountered someone who did not treat him with the same deference.
