In the evening, Nathaniel was in the study, working on some documents.
Christina switched on her computer to check her email.
She noticed an email from the person in charge of her design studio, who had not contacted her for a long time.
The email read: Ada, there’s an important client specifically requesting you, and they’re offering double the usual price.
Christina had started collaborating with this studio ever since she started attending university. Although there weren’t many clients there, the clients usually had high requirements for quality.
She could always design the most suitable gowns for her clients based on their body shape and temperament.
Therefore, she soon made a name for herself in the circle.
However, with her heavy study load at the university, she didn’t have the energy to focus on her part- time work, so she stopped taking orders for quite some time.
She hesitated for a moment, then replied to Vivian: I’ve been really busy lately, so I probably won’t have much spare time.
Vivian quickly replied: Would you like to take a look at the client’s information first? They offered a really good price as well. You might just change your mind.
Christina opened the details that Vivian sent over and saw that the price offered was three million.
Upon looking at the client’s photograph, she was astonished.
It’s Julia? She was just cursing at me at home today. If she knew that I was Ada, would she still be willing to wear my design?
“What are you looking at?”
Nathaniel, who just finished his work, walked up behind Christina and noticed her being lost in thought in front of the computer.
“Your mom wants to hire me to design a gown for her but she doesn’t know that I’m the designer behind it. So, do you think I should accept the job?”
Christina looked up at Nathaniel, anticipating his opinion.
Nathaniel unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his toned and strong muscles that looked especially perfect being illuminated by the light. As he raised his hand to change into his pajamas, the muscular lines of his arm connected with the muscles of his back, and be exuded an overwhelming sense of masculine
charm.
He didn’t notice that Christina’s eyes were sparkling like water as she looked at him. He casually replied, “Do as you please. Accept the offer if you want, or decline it if you don’t.”
Christina secretly swallowed her saliva and quickly averted her gaze.

“I want to accept it because she’s your mom, even though she doesn’t like me. But I don’t want things to get too awkward.”
It might still be acceptable to turn down the offer if she did not know the client’s details, but now that she knew, if she still deliberately declined, it would make her seem petty.
Nathaniel took the computer off the bed and, in one smooth motion, pulled Christina into hist embrace, holding her tightly before his strong chest.
He casually pulled up the sheets, burying them both in the darkness under the sheets.
“Darling, you’re so understanding. Let me reward you properly…”
The morning light streamed through the glass windows, filling the room with a warm and cozy atmosphere.
When Nathaniel woke up, Christina was lying in his arms. She was sound asleep, probably too tired from last night.
He kissed her forehead gently before getting out of bed.
When Christina woke up, she realized she was going to be late.
Enduring her sore body, she forced herself to get out of bed. After packing her things, she headed out.
Meanwhile, Julia, who still did not receive a response thought that Ada was trying to raise the price.
Thus, she called the studio and raised her offer to five million.
Her only condition was that the designer had to personally visit her and create the design on the spot.
After receiving the order, Vivian sent another message to Ada but did not receive a response for a long time.
Christina had been busy all day at the store. It wasn’t until she finished work in the evening that she remembered she had forgotten to help Nathaniel change his wound dressing again.
She made a phone call and found out that Nathaniel was still busy with his documents in the office.
After Sebastian provided the address, she hurriedly hailed a cab and rushed over.
It turned out that Hadley Corporation had set up a CEO’s office in each district, specifically to provide Nathaniel with a pleasant working environment when he was out of the office.
Inside the spacious office, Madison placed several documents on the desk.
“These urgent documents require your signature before we can proceed to the next step with them.”
Nathaniel hummed softly as he flipped open a document and focused on the text. When he was quiet, his cold and handsome face looked like a beautiful sculpture crafted by an artist, making it hard for people to take their eyes off him.
