Time stood still. After a while, Nathaniel uttered through gritted teeth, “I don’t know.”
“Today, I’m doing styling for Coco’s new music video. Do you remember Coco? I was the one in charge of her clothing styling for my first television series.”
Christina got more and more animated as she spoke. Her words were soft and sweet, like cotton candy, and they melted one’s heart.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the car became less tense.
“I think I’m much better in my job now, and I should be able to have my own distinct style soon. When I open up my own studio, do you want to be my first customer? I’ll make you the most handsome- looking suit that will make you shine at all times.”
Christina’s eager expression made her look like an adorable, small animal waiting for his approval.
Nathaniel was no longer as cold as before. He raised his long fingers, touched her chin, and caressed her soft and smooth skin.
“All right.”
All of a sudden, his gorgeous face came close to Christina’s. Before she knew it, he bent down and kissed her on her lips. Her heart skipped a beat, and there was only silence.
Nathaniel had his arms around her slender shoulders as he assaulted her with his passionate kiss. Just as she was about to pass out, he released her.
“You aren’t allowed to go near him in the future.”
By him, Christina knew that he was referring to Francis. I wonder why Nathaniel hates him so much. Is it because Francis is an illegitimate child?
The grudges from the previous generations tended to have an effect on the younger generations too.
Christina bit her lip. “But I still have a job to do, and Coco is his… Coco is one of his artists. I can’t get away from him…”
Her words turned the atmosphere ice-cold once again.
Even Sebastian felt like jumping out of the car as the tense atmosphere terrified him. Why can’t Mrs. Hadley lie to Mr. Hadley? It’s not like he can use a surveillance camera on you when you’re at work, can he?
Christina looked at that cold face of his carefully before continuing, “However, I can assure you that I won’t have any interaction with Francis besides work-related stuff.”
Unfortunately, Nathaniel did not budge an inch. He was still as cold as ever.
Christina wrapped her arms around his lean torso and could feel the result of the hard work that he put in at the gym. She then returned to her senses.
“Think about it. You wouldn’t find out even if I lied to you and continued to work with Francis behind your back. However, I don’t do pretentious things.”

Christina’s assurance was way better than any other tactic. If he still refused to give in, it would make him look very harsh.
The annoyance on Nathaniel’s face lessened. “Okay. In the future, Sebastian will send you to work and fetch you afterward.”
At that moment, Sebastian was frozen to his scat. “Yes, Mr. Hadley.”
The following day, Christina saw Sebastian waiting for her when she was about to head to work.
“You’re a very busy man. Why don’t you just let the driver send me instead?” Christina felt that it was a waste of resources for the secretary of a CEO to be sending her to work.
Sebastian smiled and opened the car door. “Mr. Hadley trusts me. That’s why he lets me do this task. I have an assistant to help me with things recently, so it’s all right.”
“Oh, by the way, what happened to Madison?” asked Christina after she got into the car. Madison had not made things difficult for her in a long time.
