Chapter 42 Let Me Stay The Night

He had her fingers tightly wrapped within the palm of his hand while he gently caressed them as if he was playing with a cute kitten.

Christina knew that she should pull her hand back as they were standing in a public area. Though the spot they were at was inconspicuous, they were still surrounded by people.

Staff and crew members would pass them by from time to time, so it was possible that someone would notice them standing next to each other.

The lighting in the area was dim, but people could still notice them holding hands if they looked closely.

Despite so, Christina was enjoying the warmth of his touch so much that she just stood there and stared dreamily at him.

Her heart was beating rapidly as though she were a high school student falling in love for the first time. It was an incredibly thrilling sensation to sneakily do something she shouldn’t have while at risk of being caught.

It wasn’t until the fashion show was coming to an end that Christina quickly pulled her hand back. “I need to head backstage now.”

Nathaniel flashed her a smile and watched as she ran off.

Because the fashion show was very successful. Zachary wanted to reward the staff by treating them to a barbecue. He then proceeded to make the reservations and told them to head over to the restaurant shortly after.

As Zachary had offered to treat them himself, the staff would have to go even if they didn’t want to.

It was about eleven by the time they were done cleaning up. Christina saw Nathaniel waiting for her next to his car the moment she stepped outside.

The moonlight cast a faint silver glow over his slender figure and gave him an air of mystery,

There was, however, a hint of exhaustion on his handsome face, which was probably the result of his overworking.

Christina made her way over and asked worriedly, “Are you tired? Let’s go home, okay?”

That was when Gina called and urged her to head over to the barbecue place. As her design was the spotlight of the fashion show, everyone wanted to have a chat with her about it.

Oh, well… There goes my plan to head home early… If I don’t go, everyone’s going to be upset with me for being a killjoy. I suppose this is just something you have to deal with when you’re in the corporate world. There are bound to be social gatherings that you simply have to attend.

With that in mind, Christina flashed him a sweet smile and said. “How about you head on back without me? I’ll just go there and hang out for a bit. It won’t be long.”

Nathaniel patted her on the head and tousled her hair. “I’ll go with you. Come on,” he replied while opening the car door for her.

He then got into the car and drove straight toward the barbecue place.

Dozens of staff from two departments attended the gathering, so the entire restaurant was filled with Radiant Corporation’s employees.

The atmosphere was merry as the staff chatted away happily with each other. However, the entire place fell completely silent the moment Christina and Nathaniel entered the restaurant together.

After all, they were not expecting to see their boss at the restaurant, especially with Christina by his

side.

Realizing that the atmosphere had become tense because of his presence, Nathaniel waved at them and said. “No need to be so tense, you guys. Just relax and eat to your hearts content.”
