with Madison’s pungent perfume scent. It took over the pleasant fragrance on Christina’s body in an instant.
“Nathaniel is definitely going to cooperate with us. We’ll be meeting a lot in the future,” Madison said while looking at Christina disdainfully.
“You sound pretty confident.”
Madison narrowed her eyes slightly. Her gaze was tinged with determination. “Of course. Taggart Group is a capable company. If Hadley Corporation works together with Taggart Group, the future will be ours. Nathaniel won’t refuse any chances that will bring his company to greater heights. And you, Christina, what can you give Nathaniel?”
Christina looked her in the eye. She used to have some admiration for Madison for being a capable and independent woman. However, at that moment, she only felt that Madison was a love-struck fool who had no sense of self-worth.
At the thought of that, Christina suddenly snickered.
Her laugh instantly made Madison lose her composure.
“What are you laughing at?” Madison felt insulted.
“You’re too pathetic. I’m laughing at the fact that you’re brainless despite having a degree,” Christina mocked.
Madison’s eyes were filled with fury. Her curled lashes made her seem particularly scary.
Christina was unfazed. “Don’t you find yourself ridiculous that you have to use material possessions to attract a man’s attention? Have you ever thought that if you lose your money one day, you will have no worth in that person’s eyes?”
The elevator doors opened.
Christina stepped out, leaving Madison, who was ashen-faced, behind.
Madison watched as Christina walked out of the elevator. At that moment, she felt as if her eyes had been stabbed with ten thousand needles. It was so painful that she couldn’t breathe.
She clenched her fists tightly. Even if she got together with Nathaniel out of interest, she wouldn’t regret it.
All she wanted was to be with him.
As soon as Christina entered the office, she saw Rayne serving an elegantly dressed woman a cup of coffee. “Mrs. Williams, this is our designer, Christina Steele.” Then, Rayne said to Christina, “Christina, this is our extremely important client, Mrs. Williams.”
Christina flashed a polite smile. When did we have an extremely important client?
Rayne went forward and brought Jocelyn into the office. “Mrs. Williams, please come with me to our designer’s office. Kindly let us know your requirements. Ms. Steele is amazing. She has won a lot of awards before. A few years ago, she participated in a design competition in the country and got first place.”
“I’ve long heard that the designs by Christina’s Studios are impressive, so I came here for that,” Jocelyn
said.
“Please have a seat here for a while.”
Rayne walked out and said to Christina, “That woman has paid ninety-nine thousand to skip the queue, so she is an extremely important client. You have to treat her well.”
Christina’s eyes widened “Since when did we have such a rule? I have no idea at all.”
“The bookings we received have been arranged until next year. We’ll deal with those urgent clients first.” Rayne chuckled.
“How did you know that that client is urgent?” Christina didn’t know how to react to that.
I’m already swamped with work and barely have the time to breathe. Now, I have to deal with urgent clients as well?
Rayne dragged Christina in the direction of the office. “She has paid extra, so it’s urgent. You should get to work now, Ms. Steele.”
As soon as she finished saying that, she pushed Christina into the office.
Christina spent all morning attending to Jocelyn. It wasn’t until she sent Jocelyn away that she let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that lunch break was approaching. Christina wondered if she should have a meal with Nathaniel.
She gave a call to the restaurant she had been to last time, thinking of booking a table. However, the other party told her that the entire place was booked for the day.
Christina hung up the phone and heaved a sigh. Looks like I’m not destined to dine in this restaurant. The first experience was unpleasant, and this time, I was turned down by them. Oh well, let me see if Nathaniel is free first.
She walked out of her office and headed to the CEO’s office.
At the entrance of the conference room, she saw Madison walk out in dissatisfaction. Tension grew in the air as they met each other’s eyes.
Madison rushed over to her and huffed. “You’re really good, Christina. You actually made Nathaniel refuse to cooperate with me! You’ve been acting all high and mighty. In actuality, you’re afraid that you can’t win. against me, so you used such a lowly method to drive me away. How disgusting!”
“Please have a seat here for a while.”
Rayne walked out and said to Christina. “That woman has paid ninety-nine thousand to skip the queue, 16 she is an extremely important chent. You have to treat her well”
