Chapter 107 Report
Christina was disoriented by the sudden kiss and blushed.
It wasn’t until she was almost out of breath that she was released. “How are you still so energetic after staying awake for three days?” Also, how can he remain so elegant, aside from his eye bags, even though he worked overnight? I pity Sebastian, honestly. He’s forced to keep up with Nathaniel.
Nathaniel laid the Ferropenian documents before he “Translate it for me.” I recall she’s fluent in Ferropenian.
Puzzled, she stared at him. Doesn’t he understand the language? Why does he need me to translate it for him?
Still, she accepted the documents and replied ingratiatingly, “Okay.”
Christina scanned through the Ferropenian text and started reading the document aloud. There was plenty of jargon on the paper, though it didn’t stump her.
Her sweet voice resembled the pleasant sound of a stream crashing against the rocks and a precious. celadon being knocked.
When her voice wormed into Nathaniel’s ears, each of her pronunciations sounded like a musical note.
Christina was earnestly reading the documents when she noticed something pressing on her shoulder. In response, she glanced back and saw him sleeping. my voice that hypnotic?
While she wanted to move, she was worried she would wake him up. Considering he worked non-stop for three days, I bet he’s exhausted. I guess I’ll give in and be his pillow for the night.
She lifted a tablet and drew some design elements on it. Then, she gazed around the room before staring at Nathaniel’s handsome face.
Twilight sunshine landed on the side of his face, illuminating his thin eyelids and long eyelashes. Despite the dark bags under his eyes, his attractiveness wasn’t diminished. Instead, it was increased.
Suddenly, Christina was inspired to draw Nathaniel on the tablet. Every stroke of her stylus was done skillfully. Half an hour later, his handsome face was depicted on the tablet.
She was used to saving her drawings in the tablet’s folder. Once she concluded her task, she leaned on Nathaniel’s shoulder and slumbered because she was tired.
When she woke up in a bed, it was already the next morning.
She didn’t expect to sleep that well. In any case, since it was Monday, she needed to head to work, so she left the bed.
Upon arriving downstairs, Christina saw Nathaniel eating breakfast at the dining table and watching. the news on his tablet. He looks so elegant, like an eighteenth-century royal prince. Heck, he may be even more dignified than a prince.
“Good morning, Mrs. Hadley.” Raymond served her a cup of hot milk and her breakfast.
As Christina enjoyed her meal, she glanced at Nathaniel, who seemed to be in high spirits. He doesn’t look like someone who has been working overnight at all. In fact, even his eye bags have disappeared.
Chapter 107 Report
After that, Nathaniel personally sent her to her workplace.
When they arrived, but before Christina exited the vehicle, he said, “Join me for dinner at home tonight.”
His tone was cold, as if he was ordering her.
Christina nodded and grinned. “Okay.”
Without delay, she ambled into the company building..
It was an especially lively day as it was time for the winners of last week’s internal competition to be announced.
Many who participated were excited since the top three would be given a raise and a promotion.
Caroline was chatting with a few coworkers in Team B’s office.
“I bet you’ll take one of the top three spots, Caroline!”
“Remember to take good care of us once you get your promotion.”
Caroline was feeling pretty smug. While confident in her work, she still pretended to be humble. “We’ll wait until the result is out.”
When the group saw Christina entering the office, they scattered.
Before work was over, the HR department sent the names of the top three contestants in the competition to everyone’s mailbox.
Anna took first place, while the second and third were from Team B and C, respectively.
Surprisingly, Caroline’s name wasn’t in the top three
Naturally, she was crushed, especially after she flaunted what she thought was her would-be achievement in front of her coworkers in the morning. I spent so much effort creating that fantastic design. How could I have lost?
Her colleagues were cheering in the office, starkly contrasting how she felt at that moment.
When she saw Christina stepping out of the oflice, she couldn’t suppress her anger any longer and approached the latter.
Upon noticing a figure was in her path, Christina lifted her sight and saw Caroline glaring at her furiously. “What’s the matter?”
“Did you not submit my work, Christina?” Caroline thought that was the only explanation for her failure. She must’ve intentionally done that because she doesn’t like me! There’s no way I’ll fail to reach the top three with my capabilities! What an evil woman! She doesn’t deserve to be the team leader!
Christina furrowed her eyebrows. “I did. Don’t you think it’s disrespectful for you to accuse me without understanding the situation first?”
However, anger blinded Caroline. She was convinced Christina was lying to her instead of listening to the latter’s explanation. “I know you don’t like me, but don’t you think it’s outrageous for you to do
this? I’m reporting you to the higher-ups!”
Their colleagues promptly surrounded them. Since work hours were over, the neighboring team came to check out what the fuss was about. In an instant, Team B’s office was crammed with people.
If Christina failed to handle her subordinate’s provocation adequately, her reputation in Radiant Corporation would suffer a fatal blow.
Still, she remained composed. Her fair countenance appeared equally soft and frigid, like snowflakes. under the lunar glow. “The HR Department is on the thirteenth floor. If you have any complaints, submit them there.”
As she didn’t do anything wrong, she wasn’t intimidated by Caroline’s threats. Besides, I’m not the one who chose the winners. I’m only responsible for submitting people’s work to the competition.
Upon witnessing Christina’s confidence, Caroline recalled the rumors that the former was protected by a prestigious figure. Doesn’t that mean the higher-ups won’t punish her even if she does something terrible? This is ridiculous!
When her train of thought ended there, she became even more incensed. As she had no outlet for her grievance, her eyes reddened as she glared at Christina wordlessly.
It was then Anna arrived, intending to share her good news with Christina. When she saw Caroline giving Christina trouble, she immediately spoke up. “Christina’s right. If you’re dissatisfied with her, submit a complaint about her to the HR department. Why make a scene here instead?”
Caroline exploded with jealousy when she saw Anna, the competition winner. “Drop your act, Anna! Some time ago, in the pantry, I heard
you promising to repay Christina if you got first place! She’s clearly favoring you!”
