Chapter 78 Stay Away From Me
Radiant Corporation’s signature was quite eye-catching. As one walked in, one could see a familiar figure holding a notebook, diligently working.
Madison walked in, and Christina looked up and recognized her. “Ms. Turner, are you here to buy clothes?”
“No, I need to go back now. Mr. Hadley has a bad stomach. Please take good care of him,” Madison said with a faint smile at the corner of her lips.
This smile appeared friendly on the surface, but the hidden provocation could only be understood by the two of them.
When Christina first met Madison, she immediately felt that this woman had hostility toward her.
A woman’s sixth sense was never wrong.
So did she come to demonstrate her power right in front of me today?
Christina’s lips curved slightly upward, and her clear eyes sparkled. “Nathaniel is my husband, and it’s only natural for me to take care of him. Thank you for your reminder.”
“No need to thank me, I’m just worried that if you don’t do well, you’ll be replaced,” Madison said coldly, the strong hint of unrequited love and resentment dripping off her words.
Christina chuckled lightly. “You don’t have to worry because I won’t be replaced.”
She spoke with such confidence that it cut Madison to the core. With a cold snort, Madison turned and walked away.
Madison settled into a Jaguar and made a call. “You can proceed now.”
Christina couldn’t understand why Madison suddenly appeared in front of her and laid her cards on the table.
She didn’t bother thinking too much about it. After finishing her tasks, she made time to work on her sketches. Having to produce five design drawings in three days was quite a demanding workload.
When Christina had some free time, she went to the café on the pedestrian street behind the mall. ordered a cup of coffee, and then turned on her tablet to work on her design drawings with a stylus.
After she sat there for some time, dusk arrived before she knew it.
Having lowered her head to work all day, Christina fel dazed as she walked into the mall.
As a figure brushed past her, she was inadvertently bumped. The person moved quickly, grabbing her hand and pulling her into the restroom.
“What the hell are you doing?!”
A hand covered her mouth, and a faint floral scent wafted into Christina’s nostrils.
She lifted her frightened gaze and saw a man wearing a black mask in front of her. He had shoulder- length hair dyed in a trendy gray color with slightly curled ends. Judging from the half of his face that
was visible, he was a very handsome man.
“Excuse me, could you please cooperate with me and be quiet for a moment?” The man’s clear and magnetic voice was as pleasant to listen to as the male protagonist in a TV drama.
Before Christina could react, she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside the door.
“Where’s Francis? How did he run to? Quick, search around!”
After a while, those people couldn’t find their target and left.
The man’s hand finally relaxed, and he pulled down his mask, revealing his handsome face. His upturned eyes and deep gaze were like a thousand-year-old demon lurking in the depths of the mountains, capable of stealing one’s soul with just a glance.
Christina immediately recognized the man in front of her as Francis Fernando, a very famous male actor in the entertainment industry.
The last time he won the Best Actor award for a film, he started taking on fewer roles. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
After establishing his own studio, he spent most of his time mentoring newcomers, and occasionally, he would make occasional appearances on variety shows.
“How can I thank you for helping me?”
Taking advantage of the moment when she was not paying attention, the man silently moved closer to the young lady by a few inches.
He’s getting a bit too close!
Christina crawled out from a gap on one side and said, “No need to be polite. It’s just a small matter.”
“This won’t do. How about you leave your contact information, and I’ll give you a few tickets to the popular Zion concert that’s happening soon?” Francis said as he took out his phone.
Seeing that Christina was hesitant, he simply took matters into his own hands and grabbed Christina’s phone. With a quick scan of the QR code, the friend request was sent successfully sent.
“Let’s get in touch again. Bye!”
As soon as his words fell, Francis walked away nonchalantly.
Christina stared at her phone in disbelief as she saw that a famous celebrity had suddenly appeared on her phone. The feeling was like suddenly winning the jackpot even though she had never bought any lottery ticket.
The feeling was a bit surreal.
She returned to the store and quickly forgot about the whole incident.
In the evening, when she returned to the condominium, she quickly prepared some simple homemade dishes and placed them on the table.
After that, Christina took a shower and changed into her soft, pink pajamas. Holding her tablet, she sat on the couch and continued to finish her incomplete design drawing.
In the middle of the night, the door was pushed open
Nathaniel walked in, his gaze falling on the slender figure lying on the couch.
Christina’s skirt was lifted up, revealing a section of her smooth, slender legs. Her hands were crossed over her chest, and her face was turned to the side.
The tranquil scene of her was as beautiful as a sleeping angel.
As he walked in, he simultaneously loosened his tie with one hand, removed his suit jacket, and unbuttoned his white shirt.
It seemed as if the play of light and shadow was deliberately carved onto his chest, illuminating the expanse of muscles brimming with masculine hormones…
Nathaniel approached Christina, bent down to pick her up, and carried her into the bedroom.
Christina slept soundly, her body pressing against the bed as she turned over, casually grabbing a blanket and pulling it into her embrace. Following that, she continued her deep slumber.
Nathaniel flashed a faint smile and gently kissed her face.
Meanwhile, Christina’s cellphone rang outside the living room.
He walked out and saw her phone with the screen lit up.
Francis texted: Are you asleep yet, Cutie?
Nathaniel was completely stunned. Looking at the profile picture and the tone of speech, he was certain that it was Francis himself.
Seeing that the other party didn’t respond, Francis sent a new message: I’ll be waiting for you at the café tomorrow. Shall I give you the tickets then?
When did he meet Christina?
Why would they be friends on WhatsApp?
Nathaniel’s body suddenly flared up with anger when he thought of that cunning man. It made him feel extremely uneasy.
He stared at the screen, typed a single word in response, and then deleted the chat history.
When Christina woke up, there was no one by her side.
Upon leaving the living room, the small dishes she had placed on the table the previous night remained untouched.
However, there were worn clothes in the bathroom.
Perhaps Nathaniel is too busy these days?
Christina didn’t give it much thought. After tidying up the house, she got ready to go to work when her phone received a new voice message.
Francis: “Why haven’t you arrived yet?”
Christina looked at the message, feeling puzzled. Did he message the wrong person?
Inside the café, there were no customers early in the morning. The man was wearing a mask and sunglasses, but that couldn’t hide the charm that radiated from him.
The female store staff couldn’t help but be captivated by him. At that moment, an even more aloof and handsome man entered through the door.
The female staff was stunned. What a wonderful day!
Two handsome guys appearing at the same time?
That tall figure seemed eager to meet the handsome guy wearing a mask. The former walked straight over and grabbed the latter by the collar.
“Francis, haven’t I warned you to stay away from my people?”
Francis saw the look of anger on Nathaniel’s face and suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
He enjoyed seeing Nathaniel lose control like this.
Francis spoke with a hint of disdain and indifference I’m waiting for the little kitten. What’s that got to do with you? Why is someone like you, who can’t even get close to women, trying to protect a girl?”
“I don’t care what your intentions are. Christina is my woman.” A storm raged in the depths of Nathaniel’s eyes as if he wanted to swallow the man before him whole.
“So? I just like getting close to her…”
Pow!
With a loud thud, Nathaniel’s fist landed heavily on Francis’ temple!
