Christina had no choice but to walk over to the photographer.
“I’m sorry, but I think we’ll need to change photographers. We’ll still pay you for your time.”
The man was tall and skinny, and he had a black baseball cap that covered most of his features.
Even when he saw Christina walking over to him, he did not lift his head–he just continued packing up his things.
It was as if he was determined to leave, even if Christina did not say a word to him.
“Okay. I got it,” was all he answered her.
Christina was in no rush to leave after telling him that.
She watched the man clean the lens of his camera before taking apart his camera and carefully keeping it in his bag as if it was his most precious item.
Only after that did he realize that Christina was still standing in front of him.
He then lifted his head to look at the young woman with his dark eyes.
Christina finally realized that she was being rude with the staring. “To be honest, I think your photos look nice. I hope we’ll have a chance to work together again next time.”
A faint light flashed past the man’s gloomy eyes, but he did not reply to her as if he had heard nothing from her.
Once his assistant was done packing everything up, he passed Christina a card before he left. “Contact me if you want my services, but they won’t be cheap.”
Christina took the name card and read the name on it: Photographer. Blaze.
This man is called Blaze? He has such an icy attitude, though. He should have been named Frost instead.
After a while of rest, the new photographer arrived, and the shooting continued.
This time, Ella was cooperative with the shooting. By the time the shooting was wrapped up, it was already midnight.
When Christina walked out of Radiant Corporation’s entrance, she spotted a black Maybach parked at the side with a familiar plate number. Immediately, she ran over.
As she opened the door and got in, she asked, “How did you know that I was still at work?”
Nathaniel put down the tablet he was holding and gave her a loving look. “How can I possibly not know?”
He seemed confident and proud, as if it was natural for him to possess that knowledge.
Amused, Christina chuckled and burrowed her head into his arms. “Aw! I’m super tired today. Please massage my shoulders for me.”
She had been standing and sitting the entire day; she was sure she was about to stiffen into a statue.
Meanwhile, Sebastian, who was in the front passenger seat, was startled as if he had heard something
obscene.
Mrs. Hadley’s harebrained! I can’t believe she’s asking Mr. Hadley to give her a massage. He’s the one being served most of the time, so she’ll have to keep dreaming!
Right as those thoughts appeared in his head, he heard Nathaniel lazily saying, “Which part of you is sore? Is this good enough?”
Christina was sprawled on Nathaniel’s thigh as she cooed, “Yes, yes, that’s the spot. It hurts so much. You’re too gentle. Use a little more strength. A little more to the right. Yes, that’s right.”
Nathaniel massaged her back and shoulders as he listened to her instructions. It was as if he was playing with a tiny pet of his.
Sebastian was speechless. He never thought that he would see his employer giving someone else a
massage.
All he could think about was how sweet the couple seemed.
Nathaniel’s massage felt too comfortable for Christina. By the time they reached Scenic Garden Manor, she was already asleep, still sprawled on him.
Nathaniel could not bring himself to wake her, so he carried her inside.
The guard outside discreetly took a photo of them and sent it to Madison.
Pleasant music was playing in the upscale bar.
Why is Christina the lucky woman instead of me? This world is so unfair! I’m the one who has been by Nathaniel’s side all along!
