The factory manager’s eyes widened as he glared at Christina. “Do you mean what you said?”
Christina answered firmly, “Of course. Let Caroline go now. There’ll be no room for negotiation if you hurt her.”
The man was hesitant. After all, he had only come seeking revenge out of impulse. Now that things were getting out of hand, he was beginning to feel scared.
Just when he was about to let Caroline go, the security guard seized the opportunity and leaped at the factory manager. Before he could react, he was already pressed on the ground.
Caroline collapsed on the ground and cried from the shock. She could have died if the blade had sliced her.
Rage washed over the man when he realized he had been tricked. “You b*tch! What did I do to you to deserve this? You were the one who made me frame your group leader. And now, you’re throwing me under the bus? I’ll expose you even if I’m captured!”
His voice was so loud that his words traveled to the ears of those in the corridor. Everyone knew Caroline and the factory manager had worked together to slander Christina.
In the end, the factory manager was taken away while Caroline stood rooted to the ground with many disapproving gazes fixed on her. It was an extremely embarra**ing situation.
Everyone knew it was not the first time Caroline had given Christina a hard time. However, her latest trick was too unacceptable.
Gina’s expression turned solemn. “Caroline, come to my office. There’s something you need to explain. to the company.”
Knowing what she was about to face, Caroline cast Christina a resentful glare. Alas, there was no turning things around at that point.
Caroline had no choice but to follow Gina out of the oflice.
The employees who had finally learned about the truth fell silent. Some felt ashamed for not believing Christina, while some felt guilty for talking behind her back.
However, Christina seemed unfazed by it. “Get back to work if you’re done watching,” she ordered before entering her office.
Caroline, on the other hand, packed her things as soon as she exited Gina’s office.
It was no surprise that she was fired, but not a single person-not even the ones who usually chatted with her in the pantry-sent her off.
When it was almost time to get off work, a notice was posted by the company to clear Christina’s name.
Just as Christina was packing her things to go home, her phone rang. It was Bailey calling to ask about her situation.
Both of them decided to meet at a mall under Hadley Corporation.

It had been a long time since they had last met. They went on a shopping spree and did not stop until they could barely carry the bags.
After chatting for some time at a café, Bailey pulled Christina to an undergarment store.
Bailey picked up a set of red undergarments and placed it in front of Christina to compare the size. Pride of the Night was its name.
“This suits you,” commented Bailey with a smirk.
Christina’s face flushed red when she saw the undergarment made of little fabric. “I don’t want that.”
Seeing how shy Christina was, Bailey chuckled and whispered into her ears. “Don’t you and Mr. Hadley need a little spice? I’m sure things are exciting with a body like his.”
Bailey had met Nathaniel on the plane before. He exuled a strong masculine aura and had a gaze that could make any woman fall head over heels for him.
Christina quickly covered Bailey’s mouth to stop her from spouting nonsense. “I’m going to check out the pajamas. Take your time to shop.”
After looking around, Christina bought a set of cartoon-printed pajamas. While she was paying for it, Bailey sneaked Pride of the Night into her bag.
The two had dinner together before Christina returned to Scenic Garden Manor.
Since Nathaniel had not gotten off work, she simply set the bag down by the bed and went off to take a shower.
It was only after she had taken a shower did she realize she had forgotten to bring her pajamas in. She walked out with the towel wrapped around her.
At that time, Nathaniel had returned and was sitting on the couch while reading a document.
Like an animal sensing its predator, Christina quickly retracted her foot that had just stepped out of the bathroom. “Nathaniel, can you hand me my pajamas from the bag?”
Nathaniel made a hum of acknowledgment before putting down his document. He then walked over to the shopping bag and looked inside.
Just then, a shadow caught his attention. He curled his lips into a smirk, picked the garment up, and placed it in Christina’s hand.
Huh? Why does it feel so light?
Christina lowered her gaze to find Pride of the Night in her hand instead of the cartoon-printed pajamas
she wanted.
When did Bailey put this in? She’s a terrible friend!
Christina’s face turned red. She looked as if she had just come out of a spa ma**age. “You’ve got the wrong one. I didn’t mean this!”
There was a mischievous twinkle in Nathaniel’s dark eyes. “I want to see you in it. Come on Don’t be shy.”

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, causing Christina to take a few steps backward in fright. The moment Nathaniel stepped into the bathroom, his tall figure made the entire space become cramped.
Christina curled herself into a ball like an animal facing a strong predator.
“What are you doing? Get out!”
Christina’s voice was like a feather tickling his cars. Her delicate collarbone triggered a sensation in his body.
He leaned closer and tilted his head a little to his lips grazed her earlobe as he spoke. “Do you need help?”
Christina’s heart raced uncontrollably. It raced faster as time pa**ed as if it was going to leap out of her body.
She did not dare to speak, so she shook her head like frightened prey, honest yet at a loss for what to
“Get dressed quickly. I’ll wait for you outside Nathaniel could not help but plant a kiss on her tender
check.
However, that move shattered his remaining ounce of self-control, and the faint fragrance made him lose all sense of rationality.
Immediately, his lips shifted from her check to her lips as he breathed in all the fragrance.
The kiss was so intense that it left Christina disorientated. It was as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of her lungs. Her heart beat so fast that she felt the need to call for an ambulance.
Time seemed to have come to a halt in the bathroom as the two intertwined figures grew blurry in the
steam.
When they went downstairs to have their meal, Raymond asked Christina with worry, “Mrs. Hadley, are you having a fever again? Why is your face so red
Christina was in her cartoon-printed pajamas with her long hair covering most of her face. “I’m fine. I’m just dehydrated. I’ll be fine after drinking some water.”
She picked up the gla** and took a few gulps. Nathaniel could not help but smile at the sight of that.
Christina shot him a resentful glare. How dare you smile? You were the one who made me like this!
After they finished their dinner, Madison showed up.
“Mr. Hadley, there’s an urgent document that needs your signature.”
Nathamel got to his feet and went upstairs with Madison.
