Chapter 130 A Dangerous Game

Christina heard back from Francis at around noon the next day.

Francis texted: I’ve already sent you the contact details. Don’t forget to buy me a meal this weekend.

Christina called the customer after replying to Francis: Sure.

The customer was a woman with a sweet voice. Since Francis had already told the customer about the

deal, Christina had a simple conversation with her before agreeing to meet each other during the

weekend.

The customer was rather generous because she immediately transferred half of the payment to Christina

after the phone call.

Seeing that she finally had some money in her bank account, Christina felt a sense of security.

The weekend came in the blink of an eye, and Christina arrived at Yeatder Villa.

The moment the door opened, Christina was stunned when she saw the pretty woman standing before

her. I know her! She’s Linda, Charlie’s dance partner that night! It turns out Francis has referred his

mother to me. Why would he do this when he knows exactly who I am He has ulterior motives, doesn’t

he?

“You’re Ms. Steele, right? Please, come in.” Linda recognized Christina right away. This lady attended

the reception with Nathaniel that night. Mrs. Hadley doesn’t like her, right?

After leading Christina into the villa, the housekeeper served her a pot of tea and said, “Please have

some, Ms. Steele.”

Meanwhile, Linda was sizing Christina up. She’s a beautiful girl. No wonder Nathaniel likes her.

“Is it true you designed the gown Mrs. Hadley wore that night?” Linda asked.

Christina nodded. “Yes.”

“I want a gown that looks exactly like hers. I’ll pay you the same amount she paid you.” Linda uttered

excitedly.

Linda had been filled when jealousy when she caught Charlie looking at Julia when the latter wore the

gown.

Back then, Julia was the most popular socialite in Jadeborough, and she had plenty of men pursuing her.

Now, however, Charlie ended up staying in Yeatder Villa instead of the Hadley residence.

With that knowledge in mind, Christina couldn’t help but think there was a conflict between Julia and

Linda. Why does she want the same gown as Mrs. Hadley even after she has already gotten her hands

on Mrs. Hadley’s husband?

“Mdm. Macall-”

“Oh, please. You can either call me Ms. Macall or Mrs Hadley.” Linda smiled.

Mrs. Hadley? Does Linda want me to acknowledge her identity? If Mrs. Hadley had a good relationship

with Linda, I wouldn’t mind. However, it’s a fact they don’t see eye to eye with each other. In order to

avoid crossing anyone, Christina smiled and replied, “Ms. Macall, I designed that gown for Mrs. Hadley

personal characteristics. Since everyone is unique, what suits her might not suit you.”

Linda’s expression turned grim. “Are you saying I’m not as charming as she is, and she’ll look better than

me in that gown?”

“That’s not it. I’m saying that you both have different styles. Mrs. Hadley is elegant, but you’re younger.

Hence, you should try wearing brighter and more colorful outfits,” Christina explained calmly.

Linda’s mood was lifted when she heard Christina calling her young. “You’re right! Design a gown with

bright colors on it, then. I can pay you however much you want.”

“I’ve already negotiated the price with Francis, so you don’t need to pay anything more,” Christina

uttered. I would never raise the price as I wish.

“No. I need to pay more for the quality. I’m sure the quality of the gown will be compromised if I pay you

less.” Linda continued in a more serious tone, “I’ll pay as much as Mrs. Hadley paid you. You must

produce an exquisite gown for me.”

It was clear Linda was afraid of being inferior to Julia.

Christina nodded. “Don’t worry, Ms. Macall. I’ll do my best.”

With that, Christina took out a measuring tape and said, “Let’s get your measurements. I’ll come to you

again once I’m done with my design drawing. If you’re okay with it, I’ll proceed to make the gown.”

“All right.” Linda was very satisfied. Although this lady is young, she’s very efficient. I like her.

Christina left after having a chat with Linda.

When Christina arrived at Scenic Garden Manor, Raymond welcomed her home and said, “Mrs. Hadley,

Mr. Hadley said you should go ahead with ditiner without him.”

“Okay.” Christina went to the study, took her drawing board, and listed all the design elements she could

think of. The more detailed the elements were the easier it would be for her to draft the design.

When she was done with that, she went downstairs for dinner.

That night, after sitting on the chair for a few hours and going through a few sitting postures, she finally

came up with a design. As Linda had requested, Christina designed a red gown.

Linda wanted an extravagant gown, so Christina designed a shawl as well. However, Christina hadn’t

decided on the material she was going to use to make the gown.

With the drawing done, she kept everything hidden. That was how she kept her part-time job from

After that, she went to bed and fell asleep.

Nathaniel had irregular working hours. At times, he had to review and solve the problems concerning the

projects at hand.

Therefore, he would have to go back to work in his off-hours if he were to receive an emergency call. By

the time he arrived back at Scenic Garden Manor, it was already the wee hours of the morning.

The moment he opened the door to the bedroom, he caught a whiff of her scent. The moon was clear,

and the bed was covered in a silver glow. With Christina sleeping on her side, her beautiful curves were

rather apparent.

Upon seeing that, Nathaniel grew excited right away. Loosening his necktie, he removed his coat and

unbuttoned his shirt before going into the bathroom.

Christina was woken up by the sound of water coming from the bathroom. At that moment, the masculine

scent of Nathaniel was all over the room, and it wafted into her nose.

When she turned toward the bathroom, she saw a blurred figure under the dim lighting, so she went to

the closet to fetch a bathrobe. Right as she was about to knock on the bathroom door, a mischievous

idea popped up in her mind.

Christina grinned and hid behind the door.

A while later, she stopped hearing the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

The bathroom was filled with steam when Nathaniel came out. As he was drying his hair with a towel, his

gaze suddenly darkened because he felt someone closing in on him. He grew tense at once and

grabbed the neck of the figure in the darkness.

Christina gasped for air and hit him with the bathrobe as she asked, “Are you trying to kill your wife?”

Hearing that, Nathaniel quickly retracted his hand and patted her back. He could fight like at professional

fighter, so that was purely a reflex action. “Don’t ever do that again. It’s a dangerous game.”
