“From now on, I’ll be managing all your work.”
Nathaniel flipped through Christina’s schedule. Her work arrangement wasn’t too packed. She still had time to accompany her children on weekends.
“You want to stop me from collaborating with Gibson Corporation?” Christina was slightly worried.
Judging from Nathaniel’s means of conducting things, he would definitely do that.
“You’re bonded to me now. You don’t have the power to decide on any cooperation.” Nathaniel arched his brows, looking at her like he was looking at the document in his hands.
Thinking about the contract she had signed in the morning, Christina suddenly felt weak.
She pursed her lips and didn’t say anything more.
After they arrived at the company, they went straight to the office.
Yerek was sitting on the couch. The moment he saw Nathaniel, his eyes glinted.
“Christina, can we talk about the collaboration now?” Yerck stood up and approached her.
Walking behind Nathaniel, Christina was like a child who had done something wrong. At the moment, she had no say in anything like that.
“She’s under me now, so I’ll be handling all her matters, Nathaniel said.
Yerek was slightly startled but soon regained his composure. “Which means it’s a collaboration with Hadley Corporation?”
Hearing that, Christina was also shocked. “Stop kidding. Why is Hadley Corporation being pulled into this?”
In the beginning, she thought her work wasn’t worth that much. Hence, she felt she wouldn’t bring much trouble upon herself even if something went wrong with the collaboration, just like her heart wouldn’t ache if she lost a few hundred in a gamble.
However, if the stakes increased, she couldn’t afford to take that risk anymore.
“You can leave if you find it displeasing.” Nathaniel’s words were straight to the point.
If Yerek left at such a time, it was going to prove that his purpose for the collaboration was to get close to Christina.
Yerek sneered. “Why would I give up on the chance to collaborate with Hadley Corporation?” He picked up the proposal on the desk. “Let’s have a talk in the office.”
Nathaniel clenched his jaw slightly and pulled Christina to the office.
The three of them sat facing one another. There were several assistants at the side, taking minutes of the meeting.
It merely sounded like a simple matter. However, it became extraordinarily complicated when they got into the details.
Something Happened To Nathaniel
Christina voiced her opinions from time to time. Coming to an agreement for such a big project was going to take a while.
As noon approached, both parties felt tired. Only Nathaniel looked like he was still full of energy.
“How about we take a break? Let’s continue later in the afternoon” Christina couldn’t hold on anymore. She had been sitting for five hours listening to information that she wasn’t familiar with.
“Sure. Let’s have a break.” Nathaniel agreed.
Only then was the meeting adjourned..
“What do you want to eat? You want to have it here or outside?” Nathaniel asked.
“Are you serious about cooperating with Gibson Corporation?” Christina’s gaze was serious.
“Yes.”
Nathaniel took a sip of the warm water at the side and let Christina have the rest.
“You don’t have to meddle in this. It’s between me and Gibson Corporation.” Christina said worriedly.
She didn’t want Nathaniel to get involved with others unnecessarily because of her.
“I’ll get involved just because you don’t want me to.” His expression was solemn.
Christina face-palmed, not knowing how to respond to his words.
“Don’t starve. Think about what you want to cat.” Nathaniel unfurled her brows with his fingertips.
