    Huh? What did he mean by that?


    So that was it. At first, she was suspicious since the other hotels were fully booked and this one was


    empty.


    Christina quickly sorted out the process ofing to Sapphire City from Athana. She was not angry.


    Instead, she smiled. He had racked his brains.


    Christina looked at Benjamin with a faint smile. Her smile was terrifying. It was clearly a beautiful smile,


    but it made Benjamin’s hair stand on end. He did not dare to offend the person that his boss was


    protecting. He smiled back at her like an idiot. In the end, Benjamin’s smile looked more like he was


    crying or something.


    Looking at Benjamin’s silly look, Ethan felt so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and hide. He


    sighed in his heart. He was such a fool.


    Christina deliberately pretended not to see the awkwardness between the two of them. She leisurely


    stuffed her hands into the pockets of her coat and moved her feet which were in ck boots. She


    looked up at the highest point of the hotel and said calmly, “This hotel belongs to Joseph.”


    It was an affirmative sentence, not a question!


    Joseph Turner and Sapphire Hotel!


    Benjamin nced at Ethan and then at Christina. He nodded and shook his head vigorously.


    Ethan wanted to run away from this idiot again!


    Christina had already understood Benjamin’s expression. She continued to smile charmingly. “In that


    case your boss must be quite rich, right?”


    Thest two words were dragged out. It was directed at Ethan because he was the one who said the


    word ‘Young Master’. “Have we met before in Athana? Climbing a mountain?”


    Ethan did not change the salutation because the boss did not manage to sessfully woo her. He said


    expressionlessly, “Miss Yamin has a good memory.”


    Christina continued to guess. “You’re quite honest. Are you a bodyguard or PA then?”.


    A series of questions hit the bullseye, and she got everything right. Ethan answered truthfully, but in


    order to prevent Christina from continuing to ask, he said, “Miss Yamin, the boss did this to protect you.


    As for his original intention, as his subordinates, we don’t know.”


    Christina didn’t want to make things difficult for them, nor did she have the right to do so. She nodded


    in agreement. Instead, she admired his professionalism. He didn’t spout nonsense, spread rumors, or


    specte the boss’s intentions blindly. He knew his limits.


    “Don’t be nervous. I just wanted to ask a few questions. Continue.” As soon as she finished speaking,


    Christina stepped on the thick snow and walked towards the hotel.


    Her back view was elegant. As if she had understood something, her footsteps were very light.


    Joseph slept at around 6 p.m. After Christina left, Ethan immediately called him. Ethan felt that he


    should remind the boss that the matter had already been exposed.


    The phone rang. Joseph picked up the phone in frustration. He opened his eyes and swiped the


    answer button. He said coldly, “Speak.”


    Ethan was nervous. “Miss Yamin has already seen Benjamin sweeping the snow.”


    There was no need for further exnation. With just one sentence, Joseph understood the situation.


    She was so smart that he could not hide it, and he did not intend to hide it for long.


    Unprecedentedly, Joseph did not me Ethan. He simply said two words, “Got it.”


    The call ended but Joseph was not in a hurry to call Christina. He wanted to see how Christina would


    react next. He smiled, lifted the nket, and went straight to the bathroom to wash up.


    Ethan knew that Joseph was about to get up and was about to go upstairs. As soon as he entered the


    lobby, he found Christina standing at the elevator entrance with her hands still in her pockets. She


    stood upright and looked at him with a faint smile. “Can you use your clearance to bring me up? It’s not


    easy to meet your boss. It’s like trying to see the president.”


    Ethan couldn’t respond to this. He remained expressionless and maintained his professionalism as a


    bodyguard. “Miss Yamin, please.”


    Christina did not force his loyal subordinate to say anything. She shrugged her shoulders and entered


    the elevator first. Ethan followed closely behind. There were only Ethan and Christina in the private lift.


    Christina’szy question sounded in the enclosed space. “Let me ask you a question. Was it a chance


    encounter or an arrangement by your boss at the Athana golf course?”


    Ethan replied expressionlessly. “We bumped into each other by chance. He just wanted to climb the


    mountain and happened to meet Miss Yamin.”


    Hearing this, Christina smiled. Oh god. That was some kind of fate. “Thank you for telling me.”


    “Miss Yamin, you’re too kind. I’m just telling the truth.”


    Ding! The elevator door opened.


    Ethan let Christina go out first. Under Ethan’s lead, she followed him to the end of the corridor. Just as


    Ethan was about to ring the doorbell, Christina reached out and stopped him. “Let me do it.”


    The


    person the boss wanted to see was probably Miss Yamin. Ethan nodded and retreated.


    The doorbell rang a few times before the door was opened. Joseph, who was dressed in gray pajamas,


    was still holding a towel in his hand. When he saw Christina, who was looking at him meaningfully


    outside the door, Joseph instructed Ethan, who was beside Christina, “You can leave first.”


    “Yes.”


    The two of them had a different look in their eyes. Christina smiled, and Joseph smiled back and


    invited, “Ms. Yamin,e in and have a seat.”


    Christina did not say yes. She walked straight into the room. Joseph stood at the door and smiled


    before closing the door.


    Christina walked into the presidential suite and looked around. She did not walk around but just stood


    there and looked around. “It’s quitefortable.”


    “Ms. Yamin, if you like, I can get you a room next door.” Joseph turned around and went into the


    bathroom to put the towel


    back.


    When he came out again, his hair was a little messy. He must have washed his face and lost his usual


    elegance. Now, he was much more realistic. He was still as handsome as before.


    She had always been teased by Joseph. Christina had the intention to retaliate. She approached


    Joseph step by step. Joseph did not retreat. He stood there as if he was waiting.


    Just as the two of them were a few inches apart, Christina stopped in her tracks. She raised one hand


    and tidied the buttons of Joseph’s pajamas with the other. The dark blue buttons were like the color of


    the deep sea. She stroked them a few times and slowly said, “This hotel is yours, huh?”


    The woman seemed to be investigating and interrogating him. Joseph looked at her restless little hands


    with interest as she straightened his pajamas from the first button to the second. Then, she helped him


    tidy up the loose hair on his forehead.


    “Yes, is there anything else you want to ask?”


    Christina’s lips, which were covered in lipstick, opened and closed. “I can tell that you really want to


    woo me. Mr. Turner has spent a lot of money and arranged for all the hotels by the side to be fully


    booked while leaving yours empty so that I will choose it. Isn’t it a lot of loss in a day? What a pity.”


    Her face was filled with pity, heartache, and charm. Her voice was sweet and charming, and her smile


    made one’s heart itch.


    When Joseph saw how provocative she was, he deliberately lowered his head and whispered. His


    warm breathnded on her wless face. “If I can’t bear to part with the money, then I can’t get


    anyone.”


    He thought that Christina would make the next move, but in the next second, she stepped back and


    took off her coat. The temperature in his room was really too high. She was not suitable for this


    temperature. Under the ambiguous atmosphere, her body temperature was already slightly higher than


    usual.


    She ced her coat on the sofa and Joseph sat down at the side with a smile. She did not intend to


    continue teasing him. “Have you eaten breakfast?”


    Christina sat on the sofa with her legs crossed and looked up. “You spent so much money just to make


    me take the bait, huh?”


    “So I’ll let you cooperate first or you’ll hook first.”


    Christina’s tone was very calm and not angry. She was really not angry. Her thoughts were somewhat


    simr to Joseph. To Seed in something, one had to n carefully and not act blindly.


    For example, when it came to negotiations, cooperation, and courtship…


    Therefore, she was not angry. Instead, she felt that Joseph had put in a lot of effort. Perhaps people in


    the business world thought differently.

    If Christina wanted to chase after Joseph today, she would also use methods to n how to chase after


    him. She might also set up a trap, encounter him by chance, help him, and so on.


    “You can take it that your photoshop changed my mind. You’re very skilled and have sessfully


    gotten a man who doesn’t want to get married to eliminate that idea.”


    Joseph indirectly praised Christina, who was sitting obediently across from him.


    Christina smiled. She did not avoid his gaze and asked bluntly, “Isn’t it because I’m good-looking?”


    “Yes. You are more attractive in person than in the photos. I was blind, so Ms. Yamin, are you


    considering our next coboration?”


    As soon as he said this, Christina smiled, but a trace of hesitation shed across her eyes. Joseph saw


    her hesitation and retracted his strength. “Do you mind waiting for me for a while? Let me change my


    clothes and take you to experience Sapphire City’s local sights.”


    The topic was diverted. Christina could tell he was being amodating to her hesitation. “Sure, I’ll


    wait for you outside.”


    “Just sit here and wait for me. I can change in the room or bathroom. Isn’t it cold outside?” Joseph


    asked Christina when he walked into the room.


    Christina subconsciously said, “It’s a little snowy today. You can wear a down jacket.”


    “Alright. As you say.” Joseph said it naturally, but it sounded strange to Christina. Why was this man


    always teasing her from time to time? She really suspected that she would not be able to keep her cool


    for long.


    He was a living veteran.


    Joseph really listened to Christina. Half an hourter, he came out wearing a long ck down jacket.


    Christina looked at the man who came out again and was stunned.


    “Let’s go. Do you want Western food for lunch or Sapphire City’s cuisine?”


    As he walked, he asked for Christina’s opinion.


    Christina was not picky when it came to food. When she was busy previously, she would just stuff


    hamburgers and bread into her mouth. “I’m fine with anything.”


    When they arrived downstairs, Joseph started the car and leaned over to help Christina buckle his


    seatbelt. “Do you need me to help you buckle it?”


    Christina refused. She was not a delicate woman. She could handle this kind of thing herself. “No need.


    I’ll do it myself.”


    The car started, and Ethan and Benjamin’s car followed behind them. Christina noticed it. It was also


    because Ethan followed openly. If he was hidden, Christina wouldn’t have noticed it.


    “That was your bodyguard just now. Was the driver who gave me a ride the same?”


    Joseph replied, “Uh huh. My father left me many assets. Do you mind being followed?”


    “It’s alright.” It should be a safety issue, but Joseph made it sound so easy. Christina could guess it, so


    how could she say that she minded? This was a safety issue. “If it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to go


    out.”


    “Concerned about me?” Joseph turned to look at Christina, only to see her looking away in the rearview


    mirror.


    To ease her worries, Joseph smiled and said, “Don’t worry. Before you came, I went out to work every


    day. Didn’t we meet overseas?”


    When Christina heard this, she realized that they had met each other overseas. A man like Joseph


    should have arranged everything before going out.
