Upon hearing that, the other employees instantly peered at Christina and Anna with disdain. After all, favoritism was an
anathema in the industry.
Anna wasn’t going to ignore that accusation as she retorted lividly, “What nonsense are you speaking? Yes, Christina shared
some of her opinions with me, but that doesn’t mean she’s showing me favoritism!”
A scowl settled on Caroline’s countenance. Of course, she wouldn’t admit it. They’re colluding with each other, after all! There’s
no point in continuing this argument since our colleagues will start to think Christina’s unreliable, whether it’s true or not.
“In any case, I know you two are working with each other. How disgusting!” Upon completing her sentence, she turned around,
ready to leave.
Suddenly, someone spoke in a cold voice at the entrance. “You’re just going to leave after scolding her?”
His magnetic voice instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
The bodyguards pushed the crowd aside, making way for Nathaniel to enter.
His simple, slim-fit suit perfectly illustrated his towering figure. A cold look was present on his exceptionally alluring face as he
stepped toward Christina with a kingly vibe.
The female employees covered their mouths because they almost shouted when they finally saw Nathaniel’s rumored handsome
mug. However, they couldn’t help but dismiss the rumors once they witnessed his beauty with their own eyes.
After all, his charming appearance couldn’t be described with words.
Moments later, they wondered why he was standing up for Christina, which roused their jealousy.
Christina was stunned to see him. I can’t believe it. Why is he here?
Nathaniel’s sharp, icy gaze landed on Caroline. “You’re claiming Christina is showing favoritism, yes?”
Trembling like a weak animal facing its natural predator, Caroline was so terrified that she couldn’t utter anything.

“Call Zachary here.”
“Understood.” One of Nathaniel’s bodyguards promptly left the room.
Cold sweat covered Christina’s back. This is only a minor matter that requires a little clarification.
The crowd thought Nathaniel looked like a king adjudicating a case as he stood in the middle of the office with a group of
bodyguards.
A minute later, Zachary hurriedly arrived at the office Even from afar, he could already sense the cold, unpleasant atmosphere in
the room. “What happened? Why did Mr. Hadley personally come to resolve an issue?”
Nathaniel lifted his chin silently.

No one in the room dared to utter a word, fearing they would get sacked if they said the wrong thing.
In the end, Christina stepped forward to recount what had transpired.
When Zachary finished listening to her tale, he thought there was more to the story, so he asked, “Is that all?”
Christina eyed the disbelief on his countenance while feeling the same. “Yes, that’s all.”
Zachary was so furious that he almost rolled his eyes around. I can’t believe Nathaniel marched into the office as if he was going
to destroy the place for such a minor issue. Isn’t this overkill? Then again, it involves Christina, who he has always protected.
Swiftly, he asked his assistant to bring all the work submitted to the competition. There really were thirty design drawings.
He explained, “Caroline’s work was submitted. However, it wasn’t good enough to reach the top three. Meanwhile, Anna’s work
is deemed by the judges to be the best, which is why she won.”
Once every submitted piece of work was laid next to each other, everyone could clearly discern which one was the best.

Thus, it was Caroline’s fault for thinking she was better than she actually was. She thought her victory was secured because she
didn’t consider the talents others possessed.
Her countenance was flushed with embarrassment as people stared at her mockingly. This is more embarrassing than getting
slapped! I don’t want to stay here anymore!
Immediately, Caroline tried to escape, but Nathaniel’s bodyguards blocked her path.
“Do you think you can leave after slandering someone without apologizing?” Nathaniel glared at her sharply.
Caroline paled as she turned to Christina, no longer possessing her overbearing attitude. “I’m sorry, Ms. Steele. I shouldn’t have
accused you.”
Calmly, Christina replied, “I accept your apology. You may leave now.”
In response, the bodyguards stepped away, allowing Caroline to leave.
Zachary asked the security guards to vacate the office before approaching Nathaniel. “It’s pretty rare for you to come here, so
how about we have dinner together?”
Holding Christina’s hand, Nathaniel declined, “I’m busy tonight.”
“So you’re just going to leave after summoning me here?” grumbled Zachary.
Nathaniel ignored him and dragged Christina away.
Back at Scenic Garden Manor, dinner had already been prepared by the time the couple arrived. The entire table was so filled
with food that there was barely any space left for the desserts.
“Why is there so much food here? Do we have guests tonight?” Christina was shocked. There’s no way two of us can eat all of
these.

Nathaniel eyed her and pulled her to her seat. “No.”
Once the couple was seated, Christina ate while Nathaniel continuously laid food on her plate.

She didn’t want to waste any food, so she ate more and more until her stomach was on the exploding.

Yet, Nathaniel didn’t stop as he watched Christina stuff her mouth full. She looks so cute when she chews. It’s like I’m feeding a
tiny, adorable animal. It really warms my heart.
“You should eat something, too. I can’t finish all of these.” Christina couldn’t help but complain when he stacked a large
drumstick on the mountain of meat in her bowl. “I still want to eat desserts, you
know.”
Peering at her displeased pout, Nathaniel pulled her bowl to his side while placing desserts before her.
“Go ahead.”
While Christina was full, she couldn’t resist the call of the delicious desserts, so she grabbed her spoon and devoured them.
After dinner, they went on a stroll in the backyard. Meanwhile, the housekeepers and Raymond cleaned up the dishes, which
were all almost empty.
Raymond thought, If Mr. Hadley continues to feed Mrs. Hadley like this, I bet she’ll grow fat soon. Still, I enjoy seeing Mrs.
Hadley sharing dinner with Mr. Hadley in the house. It makes the place seem livelier.
Meanwhile, the darkness of night gradually swallowed the remaining vestiges of twilight.
Scenic Garden Manor’s backyard was huge. Back then Nathaniel hired a world-famous designer to create it. Its yearly
maintenance fee cost more than ten million.
Even though it had been some time since Christina started living there, it was her first time properly strolling in the backyard.
Just as she felt the night breeze was chilly, she felt soffiething resting on her shoulders.
It was Nathaniel’s black coat. As his unique scent enveloped her body, she felt a sense of warmth. expelling the cold.
“Don’t catch a cold,” he uttered before holding her tender hand and continuing their walk.

His big sturdy hand made Christina feel safe.
