Turning Of The Tide (Natalie and Trevon) novel Chapter 519

Chapter 519

Huh? What did he mean by that?

So that was it. At first, she was suspicious since the other hotels were fully booked and this one was empty.

Christina quickly sorted out the process of coming to Sapphire City from Athana. She was not angry. Instead, she smiled. He had racked his brains.

Christina looked at Benjamin with a faint smile. Her smile was terrifying. It was clearly a beautiful smile, but it made Benjamin’s hair stand on end. He did not dare to offend the person that his boss was protecting. He smiled back at her like an idiot. In the end, Benjamin’s smile looked more like he was crying or something.

Looking at Benjamin’s silly look, Ethan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and hide. He sighed in his heart. He was such a fool.

Christina deliberately pretended not to see the awkwardness between the two of them. She leisurely stuffed her hands into the pockets of her coat and moved her feet which were in black boots. She looked up at the highest point of the hotel and said calmly, “This hotel belongs to Joseph.”

It was an affirmative sentence, not a question!

Joseph Turner and Sapphire Hotel!

Benjamin glanced at Ethan and then at Christina. He nodded and shook his head vigorously.

Ethan wanted to run away from this idiot again!

Christina had already understood Benjamin’s expression. She continued to smile charmingly. “In that case your boss must be quite rich, right?”

The last two words were dragged out. It was directed at Ethan because he was the one who said the word ‘Young Master’. “Have we met before in Athana? Climbing a mountain?”

Ethan did not change the salutation because the boss did not manage to successfully woo her. He said expressionlessly, “Miss Yamin has a good memory.”

Christina continued to guess. “You’re quite honest. Are you a bodyguard or PA then?”.

A series of questions hit the bullseye, and she got everything right. Ethan answered truthfully, but in order to prevent Christina from continuing to ask, he said, “Miss Yamin, the boss did this to protect you. As for his original intention, as his subordinates, we don’t know.”

Christina didn’t want to make things difficult for them, nor did she have the right to do so. She nodded in agreement. Instead, she admired his professionalism. He didn’t spout nonsense, spread rumors, or speculate the boss’s intentions blindly. He knew his limits.

“Don’t be nervous. I just wanted to ask a few questions. Continue.” As soon as she finished speaking, Christina stepped on the thick snow and walked towards the hotel.

Her back view was elegant. As if she had understood something, her footsteps were very light.

Joseph slept at around 6 p.m. After Christina left, Ethan immediately called him. Ethan felt that he should remind the boss that the matter had already been exposed.

The phone rang. Joseph picked up the phone in frustration. He opened his eyes and swiped the answer button. He said coldly, “Speak.”

Ethan was nervous. “Miss Yamin has already seen Benjamin sweeping the snow.”

There was no need for further explanation. With just one sentence, Joseph understood the situation. She was so smart that he could not hide it, and he did not intend to hide it for long.

Unprecedentedly, Joseph did not blame Ethan. He simply said two words, “Got it.”

The call ended but Joseph was not in a hurry to call Christina. He wanted to see how Christina would react next. He smiled, lifted the blanket, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.

Ethan knew that Joseph was about to get up and was about to go upstairs. As soon as he entered the lobby, he found Christina standing at the elevator entrance with her hands still in her pockets. She stood upright and looked at him with a faint smile. “Can you use your clearance to bring me up? It’s not easy to meet your boss. It’s like trying to see the president.”

Ethan couldn’t respond to this. He remained expressionless and maintained his professionalism as a bodyguard. “Miss Yamin, please.”

Christina did not force his loyal subordinate to say anything. She shrugged her shoulders and entered the elevator first. Ethan followed closely behind. There were only Ethan and Christina in the private lift.

Christina’s lazy question sounded in the enclosed space. “Let me ask you a question. Was it a chance encounter or an arrangement by your boss at the Athana golf course?”

 

Ethan replied expressionlessly. “We bumped into each other by chance. He just wanted to climb the mountain and happened to meet Miss Yamin.”

Hearing this, Christina smiled. Oh god. That was some kind of fate. “Thank you for telling me.”

“Miss Yamin, you’re too kind. I’m just telling the truth.”

Ding! The elevator door opened.

Ethan let Christina go out first. Under Ethan’s lead, she followed him to the end of the corridor. Just as Ethan was about to ring the doorbell, Christina reached out and stopped him. “Let me do it.”

The

person the boss wanted to see was probably Miss Yamin. Ethan nodded and retreated.

The doorbell rang a few times before the door was opened. Joseph, who was dressed in gray pajamas, was still holding a towel in his hand. When he saw Christina, who was looking at him meaningfully outside the door, Joseph instructed Ethan, who was beside Christina, “You can leave first.”

“Yes.”

The two of them had a different look in their eyes. Christina smiled, and Joseph smiled back and invited, “Ms. Yamin, come in and have a seat.”

Christina did not say yes. She walked straight into the room. Joseph stood at the door and smiled before closing the door.

Christina walked into the presidential suite and looked around. She did not walk around but just stood there and looked around. “It’s quite comfortable.”
