Nathaniel let out a soft grunt in response.

Wondering if she had misheard, Christina asked, “Isn’t it inappropriate for you to skip work during this
period?”
“It’s not a big deal,” he murmured lazily. –
He then tightened his arm around her, pulling her close like a doll.
Christina pouted, wondering how a CEO like Nathaniel could possibly understand the struggles of the
common folk who have to clock in on time every day.
Oh well, I’ll just have to call Gina and take time off from work later.
“I’m hungry.” Having spent the night drinking only cold water, her stomach growled as soon as she
woke up, reminding her of her hunger.
Nathaniel gently placed his palm on her forehead, checking for any signs of a fever. Once he confirmed
that she was not running a temperature, he let out a sigh of relief.
As they sat down for breakfast, Christina couldn’t help but wonder if the chef had made it his mission.
to use up every ingredient in the fridge. The table was laden with a vast assortment of dishes. It was a
sumptuous feast more lavish than what would be served to a VIP.
“There isn’t a need to prepare so much food every time.” She then picked up a piece of pastry and ate

Nathaniel remained quiet and focused on serving her food. It gave him a sense of satisfaction as
though feeding a delicate little animal.
After breakfast, Christina sat on the couch in the study and worked on her design drawing..
Meanwhile, Sebastian hurried back and forth from the office to Nathaniel’s study, delivering and
retrieving documents multiple times.
As noon approached, Madison arrived with a stack of documents in tow.
As she knocked and entered the study, she spotted Christina curled up in Nathaniel’s embrace, fully
engrossed in her book.
Did Mr. Hadley not go to work because of Christina? She’s a femme fatale!
Madison approached his desk and stood firm. “Mr. Hadley, I have something important to discuss,” she
said.
As she spoke, her eyes shifted to Christina. It was an attempt to insinuate that it was inappropriate for
Christina to listen to what she had to say.
As the CEO’s secretary, she was well aware of the company’s confidential matters and the need to
keep them away from prying ears.
Christina, who caught Madison’s hint, was uninterested in hearing about the confidential matters of the
Hadley Corporation. Thus, she put her book down and got ready to leave.

Before she could walk away, Nathaniel grabbed her wrist and pulled her back into his embrace.
With his head slightly lowered, Nathaniel’s lips grazed her earlobe as he spoke in a low, husky voice.
“Sit here.”
He tightened his grip around Christina’s waist, preventing her from leaving,
Does he fully trust her or is he confident that she wouldn’t understand our conversation?
Madison’s extensive experience in the workplace had taught her the skill of concealing her emotions.
Hence, even though she felt irritated, she managed to keep a calm expression..
Nevertheless, she balled her hands into fists and clenched her teeth in frustration before speaking up.
“Mr. Hadley, we spent over two months preparing for the contract with Orail Corporation. Will canceling
the meeting now make all that effort go to waste?”
Her words were solely focused on the company’s interests, devoid of any personal sentiment.
It dawned on Christina that Nathaniel had canceled such an important meeting to accompany her. No
wonder Madison glared at her with such resentment,
It was as though she was a wicked queen causing the downfall of a nation, the reason why the king
would not attend to his duties.
Christina leaned in closer, her eyes fixed on Nathaniel’s unwavering expression. “I don’t have anything
to do. Why don’t you stick to your planned schedule this afternoon?”
He shot her a frigid stare and responded coldly, “You haven’t fully recovered.”
For the first time in her twenty-plus years of life, Christina realized how delicate she could be. “It’s just a
little cold; I’m fine now. Look, I have a good appetite. I could take on a tiger!” she exclaimed, lifting her
tiny arm to prove her point to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel’s lips curled into a charming smile as he gazed at the spirited young woman.
He lifted his palm and tenderly ruffled Christina’s hair, making her feel like a small, adorable creature
being comforted by its master.
Meanwhile, Madison found the scene before her to be distressing. She had been by Nathaniel’s side
for four to five years, and she had never seen this cold, aloof man display such a sweet smile.
Madison had always believed that Nathaniel’s austere demeanor represented the entirety of his
emotional range. It wasn’t until now that she realized how limited her perspective truly was.
In contrast, Christina could see the different facets of Nathaniel, unlocking a side of him that Madison
had never witnessed before.
“Make arrangements for the afternoon meeting.” Nathaniel instructed.
Madison huffed, realizing she was no match for Christina’s effortless charm. She withdrew her envious.
gaze, her eyes now bloodshot. “Okay,” she replied before turning away.
What right did Christina have to act like a hero and receive praise from Nathaniel? She’s responsible
for this mess.
As Sebastian strode into the room with a stack of documents, he caught sight of Madison walking out
with red-rimmed eyes. Their eyes met briefly before she quickened her step and walked away with cold
indifference.
When will Madison learn that Mr. and Mrs. Hadley are destined to be together?
Sebastian didn’t pay much attention and walked straight into the study.
Nathaniel studied the materials for the afternoon meeting, and before he knew it, it was already noon.
He brought Christina along when he left.
“Do I have to go too?” Christina was still trying to figure out what was going on when she was pushed
into the back seat.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Sebastian turned around and suggested, “Why don’t you shop at
Aquawood Mall, Mrs. Hadley? They’ve got all the big international brands you can imagine. Mr. Hadley
has made a reservation in the restaurant on the fifth floor.”
“It’s so rare for you to have some time off. You should spend some time outdoors,” Nathaniel added.
Christina nodded in agreement. She realized Nathaniel had been worried she would be bored staying
at Scenic Garden Manor all day. Hence, he brought her along to enjoy some fresh air.
When they arrived at Aquawood Mall, Nathaniel and Sebastian went to attend their business meeting,
while Christina strolled around the mall with Nathaniel’s exclusive black card in her hand. The mall was
a hub of luxury brands, and she could peruse all the latest seasonal collections within the building.
She stepped into a high-end boutique, and her eyes immediately widened in awe. Every piece on
display was beautifully crafted. It was as if she had stumbled into a museum of fashion, and she
couldn’t help but feel inspired by the sheer creativity and skill that went into making these stunning
pieces.
Just then, a slender woman donning a baseball cap made her way over to Christina. The woman’s face
was mostly concealed by a mask. “Do you like this dress too?” she inquired.
As Christina turned around, she couldn’t quite make out the woman’s face. However, there was
something about the confidence that emanated from her eyes that was truly captivating. Her casual
attire did little to conceal her alluring charm, and Christina found herself drawn to her.
Perhaps it was a woman’s innate nature to feel a connection when they both coveted the same item.
“The gown is unique in its design and color coordination. Although it’s a wedding dress, it’s not really
suitable for formal occasions. It’s more suitable for artists to wear for photo shoots,” Christina said.
The woman became excited after hearing Christina’s response. “I thought the exact same thing! That’s
why I haven’t been able to find a suitable wedding dress. Are you also here to pick out a dress for your
wedding?” she asked.
