A Crazy Night

Chapter 27

Chapter 27 He Requests Your Company

The air berame tense as the three men trailed their gazes toward the rolling crystal ball until they eventually caught sight of a curvy and slim figure near the cupboard.

The woman they beheld had twinkling and bright eyes that reminded them of the stars With an over- knee length white dress that left half her fair legs uncovered, she appeared like a lost fairy who had landed in the human world by mistake

She’s beautiful!

Zachary was deeply impressed the moment he set eyes on Christina

Despite having dated numerous women in the past, Zachary had never been so captivated by a woman at first sight.

Certain that he had never met the girl, he asked, “Who are you?”

Christina did not answer but fixed her shimmering eyes on Nathaniel, shocked at the knowledge that Nathaniel was also Radiant Corporation’s boss

Just how big is his business empire? Does he owen every company in Durbaine?

Embarrassed, Christina picked up the pail of water and rushed toward the door without answering Zachary’s question. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She escaped from the office like an agile cat, but because she left in a hurry, she did not realize her employee ID lanyard was caught on the doorknob and had dropped to the floor

When Zachary ran after her, he could no longer see her at the door, though he spotted her ID

“Christina Steele?” he mumbled as he glanced at it

Although the photo on the ID was blurry, he could still tell that the woman was as beautiful as an angel. He held the card closer and could even smell a pleasing scent from it.

Now, since when did a beauty like her join the company? How come I was unaware?

Just as Zachary was about to keep the ID for himself to use it as an excuse to get to know Christina, Nathaniel snatched it away from him, warning coldly, “Not her.”

Zachary was astonished, but when he read Nathaniel’s serious face, he could not help but quip. “Man. don’t tell me you’re interested in her too!”

Without another word, Nathaniel glanced at Zachary and walked off with the employee ID.

Zachary had never seen Nathaniel, someone who found women repulsive, that worked up all because of a woman. “From my experience, he must have fallen for that girl he noted, looking back at fan

Equally confounded by what happened, lan replied, “I don’t think so, but regardless, you’d better keep your hands off her.”

Based on his judgment, things would not end well if an innocent woman like Christina became involved with a playboy like Zachary

Meanwhile, Christina managed to flee the office at last after a challenging run lugging the pail of water Closing the restroom door behind her, she felt like she had just made a narrow escape from the enemy’s base, but before she could even catch her breath, the door was pushed open from behind.

The movement was so forceful she was shoved into the restroom as the door pushed her forward.

Before she could do anything. Nathaniel had made his way in until his towering shadow stretched across the restroom floor. The light fell on his face, forming a stark contrast with the pair of dark and mesmerizing eyes on his face. Christina had never seen such eyes on other men before-even the lights flickered like glistening stars in his deep eyes.

Underneath that face, Christina saw a combination of a neatly-pressed black suit pulled over a flawless

white shirt.

His whole look and bearing gave off a chilling aloofness, reminding one of a blossoming flower in the

winter.

“Nathaniel! W-What are you doing here?” As the dominating shadow closed in on her, Christina shrunk away instinctively until she was pressed against the wall.

This is the female restroom! He can’t just walk in here so openly, even if this whole floor is off-limits to other employees!

Nathaniel pressed on toward Christina until he was so close his sturdy chest completely blocked her field of vision. She could even pick up the subtly pleasing scent from his body.

When Nathaniel finally put her employee ID around her neck, Christina realized she had dropped it back in the office when she left hastily

“Thank you.” She hunched her shoulders slightly as she expressed her thanks,

At her utterance. Nathaniel ran his fingers along her cheek before tucking her stray hair behind her cars “Well, you can’t just be paying lip service to me every time.”

Christina’s face flushed red at the intimacy, but unbeknownst to her, her shy fumbling only aroused his desire to have her.

Knowing he had an ulterior motive, Christina knitted her brows and bit her lip. “What do you want, then?”

“You need to show me with tangible action that you’re grateful.”

As his magnetic voice died away, Christina felt a wave of burning sensation overwhelm her. Before she could do anything. Nathaniel had already planted his thin lips on hers.

Christina’s mind went blank, and she could not even think straight.

Her heart beat uncontrollably fast, so much so that she felt like it was breaking out from her chest. When Nathaniel finally and reluctantly let go of her lips after a long, long kiss, the blushing woman glared at him in disgruntlement while covering her mouth.

So this is what he meant by a tangible act of gratitude? He’s clearly trying to fool around”

With Nathaniel’s strapping build blocking out all the light, it felt like he had complete command over the whole space.

“I’ll pick you up after work. We need to talk,” he informed calmly.

Is he bringing me back to the Hadley residence again?

Afraid he would keep bothering her, Christina evaded his gaze and uttered insincerely, “Sure.”

When Nathaniel caught the guilty look in her eyes, he raised her chin and reminded her. “Don’t even think about running away. I don’t mind picking you up from your office.”

What? That is no different from making an open statement about our relationship!

Christina knew Nathaniel meant what he said, so she could only do as he wished. “It’s still a long way until I finish work. Have fun waiting”

With that said, she slipped out of Nathaniel’s arms and left the restroom.

By the time Christina returned to work, she had completely forgotten about their exchange earlier. When it was about time to leave the office, Gina announced a new assignment for the team.

Since the first round of screening for fall designs had begun, each designer had to hand in a portfolio. of design drafts. The screening was also open to interns. If their design was selected, they stood a higher chance of becoming a permanent employee.

All charged up about the screening, Christina decided to spend that night coming up with some designs.

After work, she was heading toward the crossroad right around the corner of the company when at black Maybach pulled up in front of her.

Sebastian, who had just gotten off the auto, opened the backseat door and said politely, “Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley requests your company

It was dark in the car, but just the sight of that pair of long legs and the neat suit was enough to deter her from entering.

Christina was hesitant, for she felt like she was stepping onto a minefield.

She was afraid her freedom would be curtailed after she went back with Nathaniel

“Mrs. Hadley?” Sebastian called out again. He found it perplexing that Christina always seemed to have

a hard time deciding to ride with Nathaniel when numerous women out there would die for an opportunity like that.

“Yeah.” Christina finally said before going in.

Closing the door behind her, Sebastian returned to the driver’s seat and drove off.
