Chapter 125 Angering Nathaniel Again
Like a scared kitten, Christina jumped back when his manly voice reached her ears.
She felt goosebumps all over her skin and his warm breath around her ear. Her face burned bright red >
instantly. “I can hear you just fine, so you don’t have to talk next to my car like that. Honestly, you gave
me quite the scare back there!”
Francis chuckled in amusement when he saw her response. “I’ve charmed tons of women in the past,
but you’re the first one to get scared instead. I’ll be sure to remember you.”
Oh, she looks like a deer caught in the headlights! It just makes me want to protect her!
The look in Christina’s eyes turned gloomy as she said with a displeased frown, “Would you please
behave yourself? You’re engaged, remember? Stop flirting with other women! Is this how people in the
entertainment industry carry themselves?”
While handsome and wealthy men like Francis were bound to attract tons of women, Christina was not
one of them.
Francis lips curled into a faint smile when he heard that. There was an unfathomable look in his gaze.
Just then, someone opened the door to the dressing room, relieving the sexual tension almost
instantly.
Coco walked up to Christina in anticipation and cast her gaze upon the outfits. “Wow! You sure have
great taste, Christina! I’ll go try them on right away!”
Christina then helped Coco with her hairstyle and makeup after the latter put on the outfits.
“Your makeup skills have improved, Christina! Have you been practicing at home or something?” Coco
asked.
“Ah, you caught me!” Christina replied with a chuckle.
As fashion design was closely related to makeup, Christina needed to study makeup as part of her

After all, she could only complete a perfect look with better skills.
About an hour later, Christina had finished applying the makeup to match the first outfit that she put
together. Coco was really pleased with the way she looked in the mirror. “You’re so good at this,
Christina! I want you to be my fashion designer for all of my music videos in the future!”
Christina felt happy after receiving Coco’s acknowledgment and compliment. The film crew then had
Coco do a photo shoot before she could try on the next outfit. Because the makeup for each outfit was
different, Christina would have to help Coco with her makeup all over again. As such, it was impossible
to try out all five outfits within a single day.
While Christina waited patiently on the side, someone handed her a cup of coffee. She turned around in
confusion, only to see Francis winking seductively at her.
“Here you go. Come on; you’re not still mad at me, are you?”
If I’m bothered by his behavior, then that would mean I feel something toward him as well!

With that in mind, Christina took the coffee over and sipped on it before asking, “I heard you’re moving
your studio. Is that true?” She had heard about that while she was in Nathaniel’s car.
Francis nodded and replied nonchalantly, “It should come as no surprise to you that he hates me. He’s
always picking a fight with me, so I’ve gotten used to it by now.”
Christina narrowed her eyes as she asked, “How are you related to Nathaniel?”
Did those two know each other long ago? Do they have some kind of grudge between them or
something?
“He never told you?” Francis asked with a sarcastic smile.
He absolutely refuses to talk about it, so I’m really curious..
Christina pouted at the thought of that.
Francis lowered his gaze when he saw the look on her face and knew her answer to his question. “We
have the same father. I’m his younger brother, but he has never acknowledged me.”
Christina opened her mouth slightly as a sudden realization dawned upon her.
Oh… That explains why they’re always at each other’s throats and get into fights whenever they see
each other!
Coco’s photoshoot took all day and ended rather late in the evening. Despite her performing really well,
she got tired after working for more than ten hours straight.
Most of the staff had gone off work by then. Because the location of the photo shoot was a little far away
from the city, the staff decided to leave in groups.
By the time Christina was done arranging the outfits in the dressing room, the staff had all left the set.
“I’ll send you home,” Francis said while waving a set of keys in the air.
As it was incredibly difficult to hail a cab there, Christina decided to take him up on his offer.
She was about to open the door to the back seat when Francis stopped her. “Don’t you know that it’s
basic manners to ride shotgun when your friend is giving you a ride?”
What does she take me for? A driver?
Of course, Christina didn’t do that on purpose. She had gotten so used to having a driver that it became
second nature to her.
Francis waited until she had gotten into the passenger seat before entering the car.
He then sped off shortly after starting the engine. Because the road they were on was not a part of the
main road, there were hardly any cars around. The sound of the wind was the only thing Christina could
hear inside the car.
As they slowly came to a halt at a red light, a car in front of them flashed its high beams repeatedly at
them to get their attention.
Christina narrowed her eyes when she glanced at the car and recognized its license plate.
Nathaniel has got to be the only person in all of Jadeborough to own a license plate with four eights ini
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBoth cars were facing each other, so it wasn’t hard to see Nathaniel sitting in the back seat.
The look in Nathaniel’s eyes was so cold that Christina could feel his domineering aura even from a
distance.
The atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as though their cars were the only ones in the area. It felt
as though something horrible was about to happen in no time.
“It seems Nathaniel has come to pick me up, so you don’t have to send me home tonight,” Christina said
while undoing her seat belt.
Her tone sounded casual as though she was saying goodbye to an ordinary friend.
Francis’ lips curled into a faint smile as he leaned over and opened the door for her. “I’ll pick you up at
the same time tomorrow.”
Christina paused in her tracks when she heard that. “No, that won’t be necessary. I know the way, so I
can come over myself.”
She then swiftly got out of the car and walked up to Nathaniel’s.
Sebastian quickly opened the door for her and motioned at her to get in when he saw her walking over.
The traffic light turned green, and both cars continued to move forward slowly.
Nathaniel’s huge figure made his presence all the more domineering, and the look in his eyes was so
cold that a single glance was enough to make one’s blood freeze.
Sebastian nervously wiped the sweat off his brow as he drove on. Mr. Hadley is usually happy to see
Mrs. Hadley, so why does he look even angrier now?
Christina leaned against Nathaniel and propped her chin up with one arm as she asked, “Nathaniel, do
you know what I did at work today?”
Sebastian felt as though the air in the car had been depleted at that point. Regardless of what Christina
did at work, she should not have been in Francis’ car
After all, Nathaniel’s level of jealousy was ridiculous, and there was no telling what he would do.
It’s never a good idea to anger Mr. Hadley, even if you’re his wife. I wish you all the best, Mrs. Hadley!
