A Crazy Night

Chapter 708 Recruitment 

“Preston would never fight a losing battle. There’s no need for you to worry too much” Nathaniel must have known what Preston was planning. However, he had no intention of bringing the schemes at work into his personal life, so he changed the topic. “It’s going to be noon. Let’s go and have lunch.”

“Okay,” said Christina with a smile.

Before leaving, she sent a message to Victoria. She did not mind even though Victoria did not respond to her message.

After Christina and Nathaniel had their lunch, Victoria contacted her. The two women arranged to meet up at Hadley Corporation.

“Once you’re done, head straight home. Don’t stay out for too long. It isn’t safe in Jadeborough during this period of time,” reminded Nathaniel before he got out of the car. “Remember not to contact the Lesley family on your own.”

“I understand.” Christina smiled. “See you at night.”

Nathaniel leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her forehead. He said gently. “Be careful Call me if there’s anything.”

Christina nodded and watched Nathaniel walk into the office building.

“Christina, you guys are practically an old married couple, so can you not display so much affection every time? Please have some consideration for my feelings.”

Victoria was very envious when she saw how lovey-dovey Christina and Nathaniel were

If she and Sebastian could get married, their married life would surely be sweeter than any couple.

With that thought in mind, Victoria felt all blissful.

“Who was the one who jumped on her boyfriend the moment she saw him in the office quipped Christina

Victoria opened the car door and sat next to Christina. “That isn’t the same Christina plea don’t make fun of me

She covered her face shyly. “If you continue to do so, I won’t talk y

Christina removed her hands and asked, “Are you not sad anym

“Yes. I’ve talked about it with Sebastian. We decided to pick a suitable time for him to go back home with me to meet my family. That will make our relationship official.” Victoria let out a sweet smile before continuing, “No matter what difficulties we shall encounter, we’ll face it together and overcome the problem.”

“That’s good news.” Christina was genuinely happy for Victoria. “What do you intend to do before that?”

“Sebastian owns a condominium in the city, so I’ll stay there for a few days until my parents have calmed down. Then I’ll go back home,” said Victoria. “Christina, now that your studio has reopened, can you hire me as a designer? I’d like to be able to support myself.”

Christina could not ask for more. She was just thinking of an excuse to recruit Victoria as a designer in her studio.

“That’s no problem at all. You can start work anytime,” said Christina happily.

“Thank you, Christina.” Victoria gave her an emotional hug and kissed her a few times on her face.

In the end, Christina could not take it anymore and pushed her away. She wiped her face and said, “Victoria, stay away from me. I don’t want any trouble from Sebastian.”

Victoria pushed her luck and hugged Christina again. She nuzzled up against her face like an adorable little kitten.

“You’re my senior. Sebastian won’t be jealous. He’s a handsome and capable man who knows what he should and should not do.”

Christina could not help but roll her eyes and allowed Victoria to mumble on. All she talked about was how outstanding Sebastian was. It was clear that Victoria was very much in love.

Christina sent Victoria to the condominium, and the two women bade each farewell. “I still have something on, so I won’t go up with you. If there’s anything, call me.”

To that, Victoria responded, “I will. Bye, Christina.”

On the way back to Scenic Garden Manor, Christina leaned in her seat and felt sleepy. She had developed the habit of napping in the afternoon, but she was unable to do so that afternoon.

Lyle turned up the air-conditioning and slowed down the car.

Christina slept for a while in the car. Once she arrived at Scenic Garden Manor, she was prepared to continue her nap in the bedroom.

Just then, the butler walked up to her. “Mrs. Hadley, Mrs. Lazuli is here in the living room.

She has been waiting for you since this morning.”

Because of what happened previously, Azure was no longer allowed to set foot into Scenic Garden Manor.

Nevertheless, once a person started to act shamelessly, they would be much more difficult to handle.

When the butler refused to allow Azure to meet Christina, Azure began to make a scene outside Scenic Garden Manor. Her image and dignity as a rich woman were all gone.

In order to protect the Hadley family’s reputation, the butler had no choice but to invite Azure into the living room for the time being.

He did not inform Christina and ignored Azure on purpose. The butler was hoping that Azure would leave on her own once she realized she would not be seeing Christina.

Unfortunately, the butler had underestimated Azure’s patience. Azure ended up waiting for many hours.

“Did she say why she is looking for me?” asked Christina unhappily. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“No,” replied the butler.

“I see. You should continue what you were doing. I’ll go in and take a look.” Christina then strode toward the living room. Before she realized what was happening, Azure charged at her in a huff.

“Christina, I can’t believe how arrogant you have become. It’s so hard to see you nowadays.” Azure snorted coldly with a grim face.

If she had not heard that something had happened to Anya in Jadeborough, Azure would never have wanted to see Christina again in this lifetime.

She wished that Christina was not part of the Gibson family!

“Mrs. Lazuli, please watch your words. I don’t like people making a din at my turf.”

Without any expression, Christina sat down in front of Azure and got straight to the point.

“You wouldn’t have come for no reason. Tell me. What is it this time? I’m very busy.”

Azure was infuriated by Christina’s arrogant manner, but she could not do anything about it.

“I heard something happened to Anya.”

“She’s dead.”

Christina sounded very calm, as if it was nothing important.

“What?” Azure stood up in shock. “Christina, no matter what, Anya was still your sister for a while. How could you harm her?”

Christina looked up at her with a smirk. “Who told you that I was the one who hurt Anya? Was it Yerek?”

Azure was stumped, looking at Christina uneasily.

“If I really wanted Anya dead, I have hundreds of ways to let her disappear from this world without a trace,” said Christina. “Before Anya died, she kidnapped me with Emilia. Now that something has happened to Anya, Emilia has disappeared.”

She flashed an eerie smile. “Why don’t you go and ask Emilia who actually killed Anya?”
