Nathaniel suddenly stopped in his tracks. “I will cover the damages caused just now.”
At that moment, the lobby manager approached and said, “Mr. Hadley, it was this young lady who knocked the glasses over.” He didn’t dare to ask Nathaniel for compensation.
Nathaniel’s brow furrowed slightly. “She’s my woman. What’s the problem with me paying for her?”
This woman is… Mr. Hadley’s woman!
Everyone was so shocked that their eyeballs were about to fall out
Those women who had just looked down on Christina, especially, became speechless.
Did we just offend Mr. Hadley’s woman? It will be difficult to get resources from Mr. Hadley in the future.
Their faces contorted as if they had swallowed a bitter pill. Is it too late to apologize now?
It was unclear who took the initiative to walk over first, but she bent down and apologized to Christina.
“Um… Miss, I’m sorry.” She couldn’t remember the name. “I didn’t mean to offend you just now. Please forgive me.”
The few women who had mocked Christina just now all ran over.
“Miss, I think your designs are very beautiful. Is there any chance you could design a set for me?”
“Miss, what I said earlier was just a joke. Please don’t take it seriously.”
“Kindly forgive my mistakes.”
Christina looked at the usually arrogant and aloof superstars, who were actually apologizing to her at this moment.
She knew that all of this was because of Nathaniel.
“It’s okay. I don’t mind.” Christina didn’t look at them and leaned into Nathaniel’s strong chest. “Nathaniel, I’m cold.”
“All right, let’s head back now.”
After speaking, Nathaniel took a step forward and brought her out
Inside the master bedroom, Nathaniel was using a hair dryer to dry Christina’s long hair.
His fingertips were gentle and soft, and the tender touch on her scalp gave her a sense of care and protection.
Christina bit her lip and looked at him with her big, dark eyes. “Did I embarrass you just now?”
“Don’t worry. Now that everyone knows you’re my woman, no one will dare to badmouth you
Nathaniel turned off the hairdryer and gently tucked her long hair behind her ear.
Christina was comforted by him, and she gently laughed, revealing her adorable, pearly white teeth.
behind your back.”
She stood on her tiptoes, just enough to kiss him on the cheek. “Thank you.”
Nathaniel had always told her not to just verbally express gratitude. That was why she would instinctively kiss him.
Right then, Nathaniel’s phone rang, and he answered it.
“Nathaniel, I’ve arrived at the office. Are you available to come out?”
“All right, I’m coming over now.”
After hanging up the phone, Nathaniel kissed Christina on the forehead and said, “You should get some rest. I need to go back to the office for a bit.”
The office was lit with a cold, white light that lacked warmth.
The woman was dressed in a white suit. Her long hair was neatly combed, and she was wearing a pair of Chanel earrings, which made her look fashionable, capable, and beautiful.
Nathaniel walked in, and the woman turned around, her face lighting up with joy.
“You can’t believe it, right? I finished the task ahead of schedule and even made a profit that’s twenty percent higher than our initial estimation.”
She had just taken two steps when Sebastian grabbed her. “Madison, don’t get close to Mr. Hadley.”
Madison had been a bit excited just now and had forgotten that Nathaniel was allergic to women. Both she and Sebastian were well aware of this issue.
For a long time, she had been keeping her distance from Nathaniel.
Being able to appreciate this god-like man from such a close distance, she felt luckier than any other woman.
Nathaniel nodded. Both of them were his capable assistants.
