Not Behaving
Christina took the dessert from him and asked, “Why do you have time to buy me ginger tea? Are you
very free?”
Feeling rather cold, she thought some hot tea could help warm her up and make her feel much better.
Francis sat down across from her, his handsome face wearing a smile. “Did you catch a cold because
you took care of me the last time around? If that’s the case, I must take responsibility and look after you
in return.”
“It’s no big deal, and this has nothing to do with you.” Christina took a sip of ginger tea and urged, “You
should hurry and look for your ring.”
She suspected his true purpose of coming here and was wondering if he had really left his ring behind.
"Sure.” Francis rose to his feet and went to the lounge.
Christina continued working on her design draft after finishing the tea.
She was so laser–focused that she couldn’t hear anything around her. denly, a figure appeared before
her and cast a shadow over her. She frowned lightly and asked. “Did manage to find-
The words got caught in her throat the next second as she widened her eyes in surprise. “Nathaniel?
Why are you here?”
A stern and indifferent expression filled the man’s handsome countenance as he trained his eyes on
her pale face.
Worried that her cold had worsened, Nathaniel placed his palm on her forehead. She doesn’t have a
fever, but why is her face so pale? Last night, the doctor said she had anemia. Is she feeble because
she has just recovered? I’ve been feeding her and taking care of her every day, so why is she still so
weak and skinny?
Meanwhile, Christina’s heart was racing wildly. Francis is in the lounge! He just had to come over at
this time, of all times. I should’ve just rejected him just now! How am I supposed to explain why Francis
is around at this late hour? Even if nothing had happened between us, Nathaniel gets jealous easily.
He won’t listen to my explanation.
“Why are you here?” Christina asked and glanced in the direction of the lounge from the corner of her
eye. The moment that door opens, all hell will break loose! How I wish I could just lock the door to the
lounge now!
In response, Nathaniel pinched her chin and stared into her eyes. “You’re not behaving, so I have no
choice but to keep an eye on you.”
“I… I don’t need you to keep an eye on me.” Christina was sweating bullets, and she could feel chills.
running down her spine as she was overwhelmed with guilt.
Just then, Nathaniel noticed the empty paper cup at the side. That store is a long way away from here,
and it’s out of delivery range. They can’t have delivered their drinks here.
Christina also noticed what Nathaniel was looking at, so she threw the empty cup into the trash can
and explained, “Rayne bought this for me before she left work.”
Every time she lied, her heart raced even faster.
At that point, she didn’t even dare to look Nathaniel in the eyes.
Due to how quiet the room was, Christina couldn’t hear anything but her pounding heart.
“Um… Perhaps we should head home,” Christina suggested. I can feel that something bad is about to
happen at any second! Therefore, we must get out of here.
As soon as she stood up, however, Nathaniel pressed her back down and said, “You came all the way
here. to work, right? I’ll stay here and keep you company.
With that. Nathaniel sat down beside her. Sebastian then placed a stack of documents on the desk,
and it seemed as though Nathaniel was ready to start working as well.
Left without a choice, Christina sat down and looked at her tablet absent–mindedly. From time to time.
she would steal a glance at Nathaniel, who was focusing on his work. With his gaze cast downward at
the documents he was sorting out, his calm and serious countenance was so perfectly handsome, as if
he were a statue carved by God.
Sebastian handed Nathaniel a document and reported, “Mr. Hadley, these are the paperwork
concerning the approval of Hadley Corporation’s investment in Crystalwood Corporation. The deal will
be announced in two days‘ time.”
In other words, Crystalwood Corporation’s share price would increase exponentially in two days‘ time.
If one were to buy Crystalwood Corporation’s share before then, one would earn a fortune.
The two sat working in silence for more than an hour, making for a peaceful and tranquil scene.
Christina, who was initially distracted, continued focusing on her design drawing shortly afterward.
In the late hours of the night, the temperature in the room dropped by a few more degrees.
Nathaniel put his documents aside and asked Christina, “Where’s your coat?”
“In the lounge,” Christina blurted out nonchalantly while altering the details of her design.
“I’ll fetch it for you.”
Christina immediately remembered something when she saw Nathaniel standing up and exiting the
office. Oh no! Francis is still in the lounge! Those two men are surely going to end up fighting if they
see each other!
With that in mind, she chased after him and said, “Nathaniel, let’s just go home. I don’t need to wear-
Alas, there was no way she could catch up to Nathaniel.
Nathaniel had already pushed the lounge door open before she could finish her sentence.
He turned around to look at her, but she couldn’t stop in time and ran into his chest.
“Ouch! My nose…” she cried out in pain as tears welled in her eyes.
Nathaniel furrowed his brows and caressed her reddened nose to help her ease the pain. “Why are you
so lumsy?”
With that, he glanced at the empty lounge dubiously. There was nothing inside except a bed, a chair,
and a few coats.
Christina’s heart skipped a beat at the sight. I clearly saw Francis walking into the lounge just now.
When did he leave? Is he a magician instead of an actor? Anyway, I’m glad he’s gone.
Upon heaving a sigh of relief, Christina said, “It’s nothing. I feel like going home now.”
Nathaniel was weirded out by Christina’s flustered look.
He then hummed in response, grabbed the coat, and went home with Christina.
Two days later, Crystalwood Corporation’s share price skyrocketed, while Hadley Corporation’s share
price also increased after the announcement was made,
Nathaniel was browsing the data analysis and noticed that someone had acquired a large number of
Crystalwood Corporation’s shares the day before. That person made a profit of at least tens of millions
after the announcement was made. Logically speaking, no one would’ve found out about Hadley
Corporation’s investment in advance.
Nathaniel’s gaze darkened, and he ordered Sebastian, “Find out who bought the shares,”
“Yes, sir.” Sebastian went to investigate, and the broker–dealer soon replied with a name.
Nathaniel’s expression turned gloomy instantly when he saw the buyer’s name. Francis? Prior to this,
he was only active in the entertainment industry. Why did he suddenly get involved in the business
world? What is he playing at? How did he know about Hadley Corporation’s deal with Crystalwood
Corporation?
Madison, who was standing nearby, saw the text. I was the one who told Francis about Hadley
Corporation’s inside information before this, but I didn’t say anything this time.
Puzzled, she told Francis to meet her after work at the condominium.
