Rayne quickly said. “They’ll being to discuss the details with you tomorrow at nine.”
“Okay. Look into thepany’s background and ensure that they’re trustworthy,” said Christina.
We have to check carefully before proceeding. What if they’re scammers?
After work, Christina brought the contract with her back to Scenic Garden Manor.
Nathaniel had finished work early that day. The first thing he did upon arriving home was ask Raymond
if Christina was back yet.
Raymond replied with a smile, “Mrs. Hadley returned home early today. She is waiting for you in the
study.
“All right.”
Nathaniel immediately ascended the stairs and headed to the study.
He opened the door and was greeted by the sight of Christina in a white nightgown, curling up in his
ck. office chair. The bright lights in the room highlighted the stark difference between the two colors.
She seemed to have nodded off while waiting for him. Her dark and long eyshes cast shadows
under her eyes, making her look like a cat that was taking a nap on its owner’s chair.
At the sound of the man’s footsteps, Christina opened her eyes. “You’re back.”
She waddled over to Nathaniel, tugged on his arm, and sat him down in the chair. After taking his suit
jacket from him, she handed him a ss of warm milk. “You’ve had a tiring day. Darling. Have some
milk and rx.”
Nathaniel broke into a smile as he watched her fuss over him. Tapping her on the nose, he said
lovingly, “You’re clearly up to something. Out with it. Is there something you want my help with?”
Christina was a little embarrassed that he saw through her act right away and grinned sheepishly.
“You’re so smart, Darling.”
She pulled out the contract and said proudly. “Look! There’s apany that wants to work with me. I’m
afraid they might be scamming me, so I want you to help me examine if there’s anything wrong with
this contract.”
Decipheringplicated contracts like this wasn’t her strong suit, but it was Nathaniel’s. With years of
experience in reading such documents, he would definitely be able to spot any issues.
The corners of Nathaniel’s lips curled to form a smile as he pulled Christina into his arms.
“Letting me peruse the contract for you is a smart move. With that, he nted a kiss on her forehead.
“This is your reward.”
Blushing, Christina buried her face in his chest. “Hurry and help me read it.”
Nathaniel opened the file and scanned its contents. There was nothing wrong with the uses, but he
read it one more time just to be sure.
When he was done, he went online and looked for any information on thepany. Christina poked
her head out of his embrace and joined him in reading them.
He tore his eyes away from theputer and gazed at Christina. “Everything in the contract looks fine.
You can sign it without any worries.”
“That’s great! Now, I’ll be able to earn enough money to buy a new house in no time,” she eximed
happily, her dark eyes twinkling with joy.
She had been worrying about finding a ce for her mother to recuperate after she was discharged
from the hospital.
With this amount of money, she would have no problem purchasing a condominium for Sharon.
Nathaniel squeezed her cheeks. “You’re buying a house? In that case, would there be a room for me?”
“Of course. My room is… yours too, right?” Christina answered him seriously. Nathaniel was very
important to her, and there would always be a spot for him in her heart.
“That’s a good girl.”
The passion in Nathaniel’s eyes was almost palpable as he lifted Christina’s chin and sealed her lips
with his.
Their breaths mingled, turning the atmosphere in the room suggestive.
Christina’s cheeks were bright red, and a dazed look surfaced in her eyes. The intense desire
transformed into mes that overwhelmed her entire being.
Time seemed to freeze at that very moment. Their shadows ovepped and formed a dark mass that
was reflected on the rug.
Early the next morning, Christina went to the studio with the contract.
At nine on the dot, the CEO of Bona Fide Company arrived with a few assistants in tow. He was a
polite and elegant young man who did not speak much during the entire meeting
His name was Christopher Lockhart, and he practically let Christina and the nning director do all the
talking.Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.
He would asionally rake his eyes over Christina’s body, admiring her pale skin and adorable face.
Seeing how beautiful she looked when she was engrossed in work, he wasn’t surprised that even
Nathaniel, a man who kept his distance from women, couldn’t resist her charms.
To think that the aloof and condescending Nathaniel would ask me to invest in his wife’s work just to
make her happy…
They spent practically the entire morning ironing out the contract’s details.
Christina was responsible foring up with the design drawings, liaising with the factory to produce
the clothes, taking promotional photos, and designing the store. Everything else would be handled by
Bona Fide Company. They nned to set up a store in the city center before gradually expanding into
the neighboring cities.
Once the details had been settled, all that was left was to sign the contract.
Christopher’s gazended on the lower right corner of the contract. Christina’s penmanship looked as
zealous as she was. He could tell from her writing that she was a courageous and determined woman.
After signing the contract, Charles reached out to shake Christina’s hand. “Here’s to a fruitful
coboration. I look forward to seeing your final products soon.”
“Likewise. The first drafts of my design will be out within a week,” Christina replied confidently.
“Excellent. I like working with efficient people.”
After seeing them off, she immersed herself in her work, full of determination to quickly make a name
for herself so that she could prove to her mother that she was capable.
Christina spent the entire week working on her design and was so busy that she didn’t even have time
to cal
Her efforts paid off, and she was able to finish the final product within the week.
A satisfied smile appeared on Charles’ face when he saw the clothes disyed on the mannequins. “I
didn’t expect you toplete it so quickly. I’m very happy with these designs.”
“I took inspiration from the sunny disposition and spunk of young women whening up with the
designs. ording to my estimations, the first batch of clothes will hit the stores within two weeks.”
Christina took out the n she drafted and exined to him, “I think we can use these pieces as
promotional photos before putting them up for pre-orders. This way, we can reduce the amount we
need. to stockpile.”
This was something she had learned from the marketing department’s manager when she worked at
Radiant Corporation.
Charles apuded her. “That’s a great idea. Contact the ambassador and start getting to work right
away.” “I have someone suitable in mind. Can we make this decision internally?” Christina suggested.
“Who?”
“Coco”
Her pretty face immediately appeared in Christopher’s mind.
Christina enthusiastically rmended her, “I’ve worked with her several times and have a good
impression of her. She’s very professional and fits what we want in our ambassador.”
“All right, deal.” Christopher epted her suggestion.
That night, Christina called Coco to confirm that thetter was going to be the ambassador.
Coco was ecstatic upon receiving the news. “I missed you so much, Christina! I’m looking forward to
working together!”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that Christina was the reason Coco achieved her current fame in
the entertainment industry. Every single time she became the talk of the town, Christina was the one
who designed her outfits. That propelled her career to greater heights.
As such, she agreed to be the ambassador without hesitation.
