Chapter 531 Your Junior
Having nothing to do and no ns of sleeping yet, Christina took out her phone and scrolled through
Twitter.
Initially, she nned on checking her studio’s official page to see the increase in the number of
followers.
Back when Rayne uploaded the photo of her at the beach, her studio gained a hundred thousand new
followers. Consequently, the studio’s poprity soared considerably.
With followers as a foundation, not only could she continue running the studio, but she could also
establish her own brandter.
In her mind, she sketched out the blueprint of her career.
All of a sudden, her eyes snagged on the topic that ranked top.
It read: Shocking news! Francis Fernando leaves the entertainment industry!
When Christina saw that it was about Francis, her finger stilled slightly. In the next second, she tapped
on the link.
It turned out that it was connected to a live broadcast.
On the screen, Francis was as handsome as ever. His every single gesture captivated the hearts of
countless girls.
When he announced his exit from the entertainment industry and said he would not be filming any
television series or movies nor appearing on camera, a flurry of mournfulments flooded the
screen.
Someonemented: Don’t go, Francis!
Another fan wrote: The entertainment industry will die without you, Darling!
That was followed by anotherment that wrote: What should I do? I feel like I’m about to die.
No matter how much his fans pleaded with him, Francis stood by his decision. Soon, the press
conference ended.
Christina spaced out as she stared at the phone screen that had gone ck.
Only then did she understand that such was what Francis meant by leaving.
She scrolled through her phone before abruptly recalling that she no longer had the man’s number in
her contact list.
On that very night, Francis left the country with Linda after the press conference.
The next day, Christina told Nathaniel about it, but thetter was not the least bit surprised.
In truth, he did not only meet up with a supplier yesterday but also Francis.
Francis handed him the information he had previously requested and bid him farewell.

Nheless, Nathaniel did not tell Christina all that.
He sensed a far greater storm on the horizon after scanning through the information from Francis, and
he did not want her to be hurt by it.
Christina did not notice the man’s abnormality.
Instead, she felt a touch sorry about Francis’ departure as she had yet to thank him for bustling around
tirelessly while she was missing.
But on second thought, he was a member of the Hadley family at the end of the day, so they would still
meet again one day.
The sensation of Francis’ exit from the entertainment industry onlysted for half a month. Following
the passage of time, he gradually faded from everyone’s memories.
Right then. Christina was three months pregnant. However, she was still so slender that one could not
tell that she was with a child. That went doubly true when winter came since she was wearing much
more clothes.
No sooner had she arrived at the studio than Rayne hurried over. On the one hand, it was to take care
of Christina. On the other, she wanted to gripe.
“Christina, I really can’t get along with Hector! Why don’t you just sack him?”
Hector Fendley was the photographer who took Christina’s photos at the beach back then. Impressed
by his photography skills. Christina hired him for the studio with high pay.
Unexpectedly, Rayne and Hector were like natural enemies, neither liking the other.
But in Christina’s eyes, they seemed more like a bickering couple.
They always had conflicts due to work matters, but Hector always gave way to Rayne without
compromising his principles.
“Who’s going to take photos for the studio to increase our followers if he’s gone?” Christina countered.
“I’ll do it…” As Rayne spoke, her voice grew increasingly softer.
Despite her reluctance to admit the truth. Hector was undeniably a professional. The photos he took
looked great and could attract followers, bringing the studiomissions.
Thus, the studio’s performance improved, and she also had an increment in sry.
“Oh yes, I told you to recruit some staff. How’s it going?” Seeing that Rayne was no longer fuming.
Christina started talking about work.
Speaking of work matters, Rayne turned professional. She ced the few resumes she had screened
before Christina.
“Looks good. Arrange for them toe for an interview.” Christina gave a nod of satisfaction after
skimming through them.
Since she was currently pregnant, coupled with the fact that the studio’smission had ballooned, it
was time to expand their operations.
“Will do.” Rayne promptly contacted the shortlisted applicants and made the arrangements.
In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Usually, Nathaniel came to pick Christina up for lunch together.
It was only when Christina had gotten into the car that she discovered it was Sebastian who hade
to pick her up that day.
“Mrs. Hadley, something suddenly came up for Mr. Hadley, so he had mee to pick you up.”
Sebastian exined.
Christina was unbothered about all that. She studied the man who had his entire focus on driving.
Hmm, he’s actually pretty good-looking. Besides, he has acquired some of Nathaniel’s aloofness after
working for him for so many years.
As she recalled the blind dates she previously arranged for him that had all ended in failure, her
curiosity finally got the better of her.
“What kind of girl do you like. Sebastian?”
Wholly focused on driving, Sebastian trembled inwardly upon hearing that question. Fortunately, his
hands remained steady, and the car continued advancing steadily.
His face flushed bright red. “Mrs. Hadley, about this…”
“You can’t tell me that?” It was Christina’s first time seeing the man blush, and she was inexorably
surprised.
Unbeknownst to her, Sebastian never had time to pay any attention to girls when he was studying. And
once he graduated from university, he joined Hadley Corporation, catching Nathaniel’s eye because he
was a fellow workaholic.
It had been ten years since then, and he had never been in a rtionship.
Hence, Sebastian had no idea how to answer Christina’s question. Luckily, they were not headed for
somewhere far.
He floored the gas pedal. On the heels of that, he brought the car to a steady stop in front of Lavish
Dining. “We’re here, Mrs. Hadley.”
Christina, who had yet to receive an answer from the man, turned and looked out the window. At once,
a sh of puzzlement glinted in her eyes.
“Mr. Hadley scheduled a lunch date with the CEO of Lesley Group here,” Sebastian rified.
The CEO of Lesley Group… Preston Lesley? That’s the person Madison was going to marry back then.
Christina’s lips pressed into a thin line. She alighted from the car and followed Sebastian to the
reserved. private room.
The instant the door of the private room was pushed open, she had a clear view of the scene within.
Nathaniel sat across from the door with a man and a woman sitting on his left.
The man was clearly the CEO of Lesley Group whom Sebastian mentioned.
Meanwhile, the woman eximed, “This is great, Christina! I finally get to meet you!”
Nathaniel had just gotten to his feet to escort Christina over, but little did he expect someone else to act
even faster than him.
By then, the woman had already reached Christina and greeted happily, “Christina!”
Christina stared at her somewhat familiar countenance. But at that moment, she could not remember
who exactly the woman was. “You are?”
“I’m Victoria Lesley, your junior!”
