Nathaniel’s emotions, which had just been in turmoil, resumed peacefulness.
Behind his shades, his eyes narrowed at the inexplicable sense of comfort spreading within his heart.
Yosef sighed lightly. “There’s no reason for me to slander Nathaniel. Christina, I—
“I don’t doubt you. It’s Laura’s words I don’t trust. Perhaps someone’s just trying to shift the blame,”
Christina interjected lightly.
While her voice was soft, the message she hoped to convey was clear enough.
Yosef had not foreseen Christina mistrusting him and was about to come up with a retort when a tall
figure stood and pulled Christina’s wrist to leave. “Rest.”
From the way he spit out that one word, it was as though speaking more would cost him.
Yosef’s expression was back to its placid state. “You should get some rest since it’s getting late. I’ll drop
you off at the studio tomorrow morning.”
“I still remember the route to get there. I’ve only been gone for a few months.” Christina declined his
offer inadvertently.
“All right, then. See you tomorrow.”
Christina was not surprised by how luxurious the presidential suite turned out to be since Nathaniel had
been the one to arrange for it.
Before stepping into the room, Christina inquired, “Mr. Bodyguard, where will you be staying?”
“Right opposite you.” His voice was deep and husky.
Christina’s eyes widened. “A bodyguard staying in a presidential suite? You sure are living the high
life.”
“I’m not your ordinary bodyguard.”
Christina laughed drily. You are almost as unique as your employer at this point.
“Get some rest. Feel free to call me if you need anything.” This was the longest sentence Nathaniel had
uttered for the entire day.
Christina nodded. She entered the room, not forgetting to lock the door behind her.
Once inside, she was not in a hurry to shower as she whipped out her phone to video call Lucas.
His smart watch connected to the call promptly.
Two adorable faces appeared on Christina’s phone screen. They called out sweetly, “Mom, we missed
you so much!”
“I’ve missed you two as well. Have both of you been obedient at home?” Christina felt the day’s
exhaustion dissipate into thin air upon hearing the voice of her children.
Lucas radiant eyes shone like diamonds, and he pouted his rosy lips proudly. “Of course! We woke up
early before our alarm clock rang to practice calligraphy and arrived at school on time!”
Christina gave them a thumbs-up. “Take good care of Camila, Lucas. I’ll be back the minute I’m done
with work.”
It was late at night where Christina was and morning at Scenic Garden Manor due to the different time
zones that they were in. She hung up the call shortly as she began feeling fatigued.
At the same time, Nathaniel had removed his sunglasses and face mask in the room opposite her. The
mirror reflected the impassive expression on his chiseled face and his jet-black eyes that seemed to
pull one into its endless depths. He grabbed his phone and dialed a number.
“Investigate who exactly was the one who leaked the design draft of Yosef’s studio.”
Sebastian replied, “Right away, Mr. Hadley.”
Nathaniel considered for a moment before continuing. I’d like to acquire Yosef’s studio. Come up with
at price for it tomorrow,”
Christina wouldn’t have a reason to remain here once the studio was gone.
“I’ll get to it as soon as possible tomorrow. By the way, I’ve already sent the documents you need to
handle to your email.”
Sebastian paused before querying worriedly, “Mr. Hadley, why don’t I head over there? Someone
should look out for you instead of you being alone. Should I disguise myself as a bodyguard to protect
Mrs. Hadley together with you?”
Nathaniel was used to Sebastian being around whenever he worked outstation and would most likely
be unaccustomed to dealing with the nitty gritty work due to his absence.
Nathaniel’s brows furrowed. Won’t Sebastian’s appearance expose my true identity?
He refused Sebastian’s offer curtly and ended the call before retrieving his laptop from his luggage to
go. through the documents at the work desk.
Christina woke up early at dawn the following day as she did not want to be trailed by her bodyguard.
She left her long hair down, donning a pink knitted coat on top of a simple floral dress. After slinging on.
her handbag, she crept out of the room silently.
When opening the door, she tried to do so stealthily to reduce as much noise as possible from reaching
the hotel room opposite her.
“Heading out?” A low, magnetic voice sounded from behind her.
Christina almost jumped out of her skin in surprise and turned around to the sight of the disguised
Nathaniel, who seemingly appeared out of nowhere.
He was dressed in the same outfit as the day before, which consisted of baggy black attire that
concealed his physique. The mask and sunglasses hid his features perfectly as well.
The imposing air around him filled up the space around him.
Christina chuckled awkwardly like a child that had been caught red-handed by their parents. “You’re up
early, Mr. Bodyguard.”
Nathaniel made a sound of agreement. “Shall we go?”
“All right.”
Christina’s original plan was to wake up early to get breakfast and then take a stroll before heading to
the studio
When she exited the hotel with her bodyguard behind her, there were scarcely any pedestrians on the
street since it was still early at seven in the morning
The passers-by they came across couldn’t help stealing several extra glances at them as the contrast
between Christina’s petiteness and the bodyguard’s powerful build called too much attention.
Christina stopped at a bakery and directed her sparkling gaze to her bodyguard. “Would you like some
bread for breakfast, Mr. Bodyguard?”
No thanks Nathaniel rejected without hesitation, as eating would require him to remove his mask.
“If that’s the case, hold on a second while I grab something for myself”
Christina headed into the bakery by the street and bought two pieces of toast and two cups of hot
coffee despite her bodyguard’s refusal.
They found an empty bench before sitting down with a great deal of distance between them.
Christina handed the bodyguard his portion, which he accepted but did not dig into.
Christina enjoyed her toast while sipping her coffee. The image of the breeze lifting her hair so that it
artfully obscured her limpid eyes was heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
With her head bowed, she seemed to be deep in thought.
“You truly doubt that it’s him?” The bodyguard’s voice was ridiculously magnetic and lush
Christina was stunned for a moment but quickly recovered once she realized that he was referring to
the conversation from the night before.
She took a sip of coffee. “It’s more like Nathaniel’s style to buy over the studio on a whim.”
Nathaniel despised beating around the bush and wouldn’t bother spending so much effort on pirating.
Behind his black mask, the corners of Nathaniel’s lips lifted at how well Christina understood him.
On the other hand, he was rarely so thoughtful of Christina. It was no wonder she’d stormed off in a
rage back then.
“It’s almost time. Let’s go to the studio. You should stand quietly in a corner later and refrain from
speaking”
Christina noticed she could never communicate effectively with others whenever her bodyguard was by
her side.
Although his eyes and features were shielded, his intimidating aura could not be suppressed.
