Chapter 285 Buying All
Christina waited for him in the office.
While she hesitated whether to tell Nathaniel about that matter, the tightly closed office door was
pushed open.
Madison entered with a few documents. A hint of surprise shed across her eyes when she saw
Christina. “Mrs Hadley, you may want to go back first. It’s always hard to tell how long Mr. Hadley’s
meetings willst. If some unexpected situations ur, we may have to work overtime. Just the night
before, we worked until three in the morning. Ah, forget it. You won’t be able to experience them
firsthand even if I tell you these things.”
At that point, a prideful look spread across Madison’s visage as only she could work alongside
Nathaniel.
Looking at Madison’s smug expression, Christina had a strong feeling that Madison could truly be the
culprit who tried to harm her.
She gently put down the cup in her hand and uttered nonchntly. “You’re absolutely right. It’s just like
how I’m the only one who can take care of Nathaniel when he gets home. That’s something you’ll never
experience in your whole life.”
“You” Madison’s face flushed crimson. Her boiling anger caused her heart to palpitate as she
subconsciously clenched her fists.
Christina narrowed her eyes and met Madison’s gaze coldly.
The atmosphere inside the office was instantly filled with hostility and tension.
At that moment, the door to the office was pushed open again, followed by Nathaniel’s entry.
Noticing Nathaniel walking in, Madison immediately wiped away her frosty expression and rposed
herself to her usual calm demeanor.
“Since you rarely drop by, you must try the new coffee ourpany recently procured. Mrs. Hadley. Let
me prepare a cup for you.” With that, Madison left with a smile.
Christina was amazed at how swiftly Madison could alter her mien.
When she was about to speak, her phone rang.
She noticed it was a call from the police station.
Nathaniel nced at her. “Why aren’t you answering?”
His piercing gaze unnerved her, prompting her to pick up her phone and answer the call.
“Ms. Christina, we’ve apprehended the suspect who pushed you onto the road. He’s an individual with
an antisocial personality disorder. Through our thorough investigation, we ascertained this man has
never crossed paths with you in his life. The suspect has now been detained.”
Subsequently, Christina’s doubts were cleared up. “All right. I’m d that everything is fine.”
“If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to contact us.”
“Okay. Thank you,”
After hanging up the phone, Christina felt fear lingering in her chest when she recalled that frightening
scene earlier. If that driver hadn’t swerved in time, the consequences would’ve been dire
Taking in her distracted demeanor, Nathaniel asked concernedly, “Who called you?”
She deleted the call log and put away her phone. “It’s nothing. The delivery time of a batch of fabrics I
ordered got dyed. This is just a random ident anyway, so there’s no need to rm Nathaniel. In
that case, does that mean this matter is unrted to Madison? Have I been overthinking?
Nathaniel noticed Christina had been a little absent–mindedtely. He found it difficult to figure out the
secrets she was hiding from him as if there was some kind of invisible barrier between them. “Work is
important, but so is your health.”
Christina collected herself, walked up to him, and pinched his nose. “I got it. You’re still so young, yet
you’re already starting to nag me.”
He pulled her into his embrace. “I know your studio will be organizing its first exhibition soon, so I’ve
already helped to reserve the central space in the mall for you
He couldn’t stand seeing her working so hard. Therefore, he would provide her full assistance
regarding tasks within his capabilities.
Christina wrapped her arms around his neck and beamed at him. “You’re the best.”
She was indeed preparing for her studio’s first show, and there simply wasn’t enough time in a day for
her to finish her work.
At that moment, Madison, who was holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee, witnessed the scene of
Nathaniel and Christina cuddling. Intense jealousy and rage overwhelmed her.
She turned around and returned to her office with fury surging within her.
At that moment, she wanted to expose all the photos of Christina and Francis on her phone to let the
public judge if a woman like her deserved to stay by Nathaniel’s side.
Unfortunately, after Francis decided not to join forces with her, he warned her not to disclose those
pictures.
As a result, Madison had to deal with Christina alone, which wasn’t an easy feat.
All of a sudden, Madison thought of someone. That person was her good friend from her university
days, Jewel Lacroix.
Christina was focused on preparing for her studio’s first showtely and soon forgot all about the
incident of her being pushed onto the road.
She worked tirelessly for nearly a month toplete all ten sets of gowns.
Christina even invited Bailey to model for her.
On the night of the show, many socialites and heads of major fashionpanies attended.
Christina could guess that those esteemed figures in the industry were willing to show up because
Nathaniel had helped her promote her studio’s exhibition behind the scenes.
As the music began, everyone turned their attention to the unique show.
Initially, the members of the audience were merely there to fill the seats, but when they saw Christina’s
designs, all of them widened their eyes in astonishment.
“As expected of a brand sponsored by Mr. Hadley. The designs are avant–garde and trendy!”
“You know what? I’m actually interested in a few of those gowns.”
“If you like them, you should hurry up and ce an order. I heard these are limited editions, with only
one piece avable for each design. If you’re slow, they’ll be sold out.”
A figure in a ck, slim–fitting dress sat in the middle of the seats below the stage. She wore a hat that
covered most of her countenance, making it difficult to discern her facial features.
She turned to her assistant and said, “This series of gowns are quite nice. Inform the designer that I’ll
buy all of them.”
“Yes, Ms. Lacroix.
The assistant went backstage and found the person in charge, Rayne, and spoke in a haughty manner.
“Ms. Lacroix said she wants to purchase all ten gowns in this series.
Upon hearing that, Rayne was slightly taken aback, and a glimmer of surprise flickered in her eyes.
Taking in Rayne’s shocked expression, the assistant added impatiently, “After the models take the
outfits offter, send the clothes directly to-
Just as she was about to mention the address, Rayne regained her senses and interrupted the
assistant, “I’m sorry, but all our gowns have already been bought by someone else.” I was astounded
because I didn’t expect Boss‘ designs to be in such high demand. This is the fifth customer I’m turning
down who wanted to purchase all the gowns.
The assistant’s expression froze. She wondered if her ears were ying tricks on her.
As far as she was concerned, the gowns featured in the show that day were just the works of an
insignificant designer, yet all the outfits were sold out so quickly.
Rayne took out a business card and handed it to the assistant. “Here is our studio’s contact information
and address. You can contact us after this event to ce your orders for the gowns.”

The assistant received the business card and left dejectedly.
When Jewel noticed her assistant’s downcast demeanor, she asked in bafflement, “What’s the matter?”
“Ms. Lacroix, this designer’s gowns have all been bought by other guests,” the assistant exined.
Jewel arched lier brows, not expecting an obscure designer’s works could be so popr.
She got up and went backstage to confront Rayne. Tell the designer toe out here and meet me. By
hook or by crook, I willy my hands on those gowns today!”
