Christina stared at Nathaniel’s frigid countenance, feeling as though her heart was forced to beat faster. with his.

Without warning, he grabbed her fair wrist, so slim that he only needed to apply a slight force to snap it. “Didn’t you agree you’ll sleep with me every day?”

Hesitation was apparent in her tone. “I did, but…”

“Then sleep” Nathaniel lay on the bed sideways and pulled Christina into his embrace.

Despite his muscular arms, he was gentle when he wrapped them around her body because he was worried he would accidentally hurt her.

It wasn’t until he felt her body temperature as he pressed her against his chest that he truly felt at ease.

relaxed.

As her eyelids shut, she fell asleep.

The next morning, when she woke up, Nathaniel was already gone.

Moments later, she recalled she still needed to work. Hastily, she left the bed and rushed downstairs like a busy rabbit.

“The car is ready to set off, Mrs. Hadley,” the driver informed.

Christina nodded and entered the vehicle, where she saw a cup of hot milk and egg sitting in the empty space next to her.

The driver clarified, “Mr. Hadley knew you’d wake up late, so he specially prepared breakfast for you.”

As Christina sipped the milk, she felt a sense of warmth bubbling from within.

Half an hour later, the car arrived at Radiant Corporation.

After she arrived at the office using the elevator, she noticed that there were still a dozen minutes left until the morning meeting. Thus, she entered the pantry with a cup.

There, she bumped into Anna, who greeted her, “Hey, Ms. Steele. You’re here for coffee, too?”

“Why are you treating me like a stranger?” Christina smiled, knowing Anna was merely teasing her.

“The result will be announced next week. If I’m chosen, I’m definitely thanking you first.” Promptly. Anna delivered a cup of coffee to Christina.

The latter accepted it. “I’m already satisfied with the coffee you brewed.”

When she exited the vehicle, she was wearing all black and assuming the persona of Ada again.

Julia was in the backyard, so Christina didn’t meet her upon arriving at the residence.

Right after Christina entered the room, she began busying about as she hadn’t finished embroidering the rest of the jasmine yet.

The setting sun outside the window gradually submerged into the horizon as the stars decorated the sky. Eventually, the room was lit, and a shadow of her slim body was cast on the glossy floor.

It wasn’t until Christina’s phone rang at midnight that she shifted her attention away from her work to answer the call.
