    The sound of the leaving car drifted into Christina’s cars as Nathaniel walked into the room.


    She craned her neck toward him like a curious baby, asking, “Why did Mrs. Hadley find you?”


    Nathaniel headed over to her and caressed her head. “She told me to bring you along to a banquet


    tomorrow.”


    Christina narrowed her eyes upon hearing his response. It was customary for her to be invited to the


    banquet if her identity was Ada, the designer. But Juli only knew of her as Christina, the daughter-in-


    law she despised, so Christina couldn’t understand why Julia would invite her to the event.


    “Didn’t you mention that you want to see my mom in the dress you designed? Let’s go and take a stroll


    at the banquet so we can take a peek, shall we?” Nathaniel leaned forward and kissed Christina’s


    head.


    A sweet sense of bliss filled Christina, then. Just one nce at the dress will do! No harm done, right?


    Christina arrived at Radiant Corporation on time the following day. She wasn’t busy because there was


    not much work to be done on the weekend. Then, after their meeting ended, Gina came to her.


    She said, “Christina, we have a customer here to choose a dress. Why don’t you serve her?”


    “Okay.”


    Exquisite dresses were disyed asionally in therge exhibition hall on the tenth floor of Radiant


    Corporation. These unique, one-of-a-kind dresses were seble items reserved only for VIP guests.


    and sometimes, these picky guests would request the dress designers to serve them.


    Hence, Christina didn’t overthink the situation. She picked her stuff and went downstairs.


    Soon, she arrived at the brightly-lit exhibition hall that showcased numerous customized formal dresses


    that cost a hefty sum.


    A smiling Madison stood in the middle of the exhibition hall, provocation evident in her eyes, greeting,


    “We meet again, Ms. Steele.”


    Initially, Christina never did notice the unusual glint in Madison’s eyes. If it weren’t for her identity as


    Ada, she wouldn’t have realized how dangerous this gentle-looking woman was.


    “Hi, Ms. Taggart. Are you here to choose a dress today?” Christina greeted the woman calmly.


    As Madison nced at Christina, her mind was flooded with different thoughts.


    Urgh! Her body figure resembled that of Ada. She looks soft and fragile. What a pretentious woman!


    She utilized her body to make Nathaniel fall in love with her.


    Madison chuckled lightly. “I need a suitable dress for Mrs. Hadley’s banquet tonight. You’re a designer,


    so I’m sure you have a keen eyesight. Come on. Pick a dress for me.”


    With that, she grabbed Christina’s wrist and walked toward the racks of dresses.


    Even though she was rmed by Madison’s fake intimacy with her, Christina kept her emotions under


    control while remaining expressionless.

    After browsing through the dresses, Madison stopped as she fiddled with the dresses before her. “I


    think these two are great. What do you think? Is the red one or the white one better?”


    Christina looked at the dresses. However, Madison continued without waiting for her to speak,


    “Nathaniel doesn’t like red, so I think I’ll go with the white one.”


    Then, she grinned at Christina. There was a hint of provocation in it that only Christina could detect. To


    others, the women were just having a normal conversation.


    Just then, Christina’s colleague approached them to wrap up the white dress Madison chose.


    Christina walked over and took the red dress. She passed it to the salesperson. “Wrap this red dress


    and send it to my office.”


    Her colleagues nodded before walking away with both dresses.


    Christina’s action was a retaliation to Madison’s insinuation. I will wear a red dress even if Nathaniel


    doesn’t like red.

    Sheughed lightly, exining herself, “What a coincidence. I’m also heading to the banquet tonight


    and need a new dress. Please don’t overthink this, okay?”


    Madison smiled in embarrassment, for she never expected Christina to respond in such a way. “Of


    course not.”


    They turned and headed toward the entrance after that. Then Madison spotted the essories on the


    side and stopped Christina, who was at the front, from leaving. “Ms. Steele, does this look nice on me?”


    Christina turned around. Unexpected to her, Madison grabbed a ck mask that closely resembled the


    one worn by Ada and covered Christina’s face. Christina shuddered and froze as her face got hidden


    by the mask, with only her bright eyes exposed.


    Madison narrowed her eyes, asking suspiciously, “You look a lot like a designer I saw a few days ago.


    Her name is Ada. Do you know her?”


    Christina’s back was rigid as she removed the mask calmly. Her face was cold when she replied, “Of


    course. She is quite famous in the design industry.”


    An eerie smile appeared on Madison’s face. “I’ll see you tonight, then.” Having said that, she strutted


    off on her heels.


    Mixed emotions filled Christina as she stared at the mask in her hands.


    Did she find out about my identity?


    Many big shots showed up at the banquet that night. Those included in the list were young men


    bestowed the title of count and countless reputable young socialites from Jadeborough.


    The moment Christina stepped inside, she thought she had arrived at the kingdom of women, for


    everywhere sheid her eyes, she saw women dressed to the nines.


    “Are you sure this is Mrs. Hadley’s banquet? This seems like…” Christina was confused. She thought


    the scene was something out of a consort selection event.


    Nathaniel grabbed her hand. “Let’s go.”


    Dressed in a wine-red-colored suit and a white shirt, Nathaniel radiated the aura of a vampire found in


    the darkest of night. Although his eyes were frosty and his gaze was chilling, the surrounding women


    threw flirtatious looks in Nathaniel’s way after they entered the hall.


    What was not known to the crowd was that Nathaniel chose his suit toplement Christina.


    Meanwhile, Christina’s red, off-shoulder dress had a swirling pattern on the waistline that entuated


    her slim midriff.


    Standing side by side, the couple looked perfectlypatible, like they had just stepped out of a


    poster.


    After making a round, Nathaniel noticed Julia was conversing with a few socialites, so he walked over


    with Christina in his arms, and his appearance immediately attracted these women’s attention.


    Concurrently, Julia was sizing up Christina with disdain on her face. She made it evident that she had


    no intention of weing thetter as her guest. After all, the main goal of today’s banquet was to


    introduce new friends and acquaintances to Nathaniel because, to her, Nathaniel had fallen in love with


    Christina at first sight because he had no experience with other women for all these years.


    If Nathaniel surrounds himself with more women and friends and gains more experience in the dating


    world, maybe he will find that little girl uninteresting!


    Julia shifted her gaze away as she spoke. “Come over Nathaniel. I’ll introduce you to a few socialites


    that grew up in wealthy, educated families. They are nothing like the scoundrels from low-ie.


    families.”


    Meanwhile, the socialites’ eyes brightened when they spotted Nathaniel as the same thought shed


    across their minds.


    Wow! We heard so much about him being the perfect man. It seems like this news about him is true


    now that we havee face-to-face with him.


    The socialites were about to talk when Nathaniel red at them warningly. “My darling doesn’t like


    these women.”
