Chapter 294 Tense Atmosphere
Although Sebastian was furious, he did not want to disturb Nathaniel’s work.
Hence, he kept quiet about Madison.
Meanwhile, Nathaniel was reviewing some documents in his office. All he could think of was how he could settle the negotiation as quickly as possible.
He glanced at the time printed on the ticket and saw that it ended at ten.
I can probably rush over….
Meanwhile, Christina stared at the ticket in her hands disappointed!
Music sounded from within the venue as the people crowding at the door started to head in.
“Hi! What a coincidence! Are you here to watch the fashion show too?” A man’s gentle voice rang out beside her car.
When Christina raised her head, she saw Francis handsome face. “Why are you here?”
Francis waved the ticket in his hands and replied with a chuckle, “I’m here to watch the fashion show.” What a coincidence!
As it was quite a small and niche fashion show, people who were not so involved in the industry would not
watch it.
“Let’s go! The show is about to start. Before Christina could return to her senses, Francis grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the venue.
They sat down at a suitable spot after entering.
Soon, the fashion show started. It was obvious how creative the designers were. With the singer who was specially invited to perform, the atmosphere was extremely lively.
Christina thought that Francis would merely attend the show briefly and leave after uploading a few pretty pictures on social media. As they watched the models strut past them, he said coolly. “The design elements of this model’s outfit are quite decent. If it’s designed as an individual product, it’ll look nice with
a white shirt.”
For some reason, Christina suddenly felt that he was a like–minded friend who had eye for the highlights at the fashion show.
Nodding, she replied, “I like the design and styling of the third outfit. The combination of navy blue with dark orange is really cla*sy. It’s good for professional outfits.”
As the two of them chatted happily, the initially boring fashion show became intriguing.
When the fashion show ended, they walked toward the exit together.
“I didn’t expect you to be so knowledgeable about fashion,” remarked Christina with a smile.
The corners of Francis lips lifted as a confident gaze appeared in his eyes. “Well, I’m the trendiest celebrity, after all”
While other celebrities might not make the cut, Francis definitely deserved to be considered one of the top celebrities.
Not only did he have an alluring face, but he also had fair skin and narrow dark eyes that sparkled like obsidian. With his strong build and long legs, it was like heaven had blessed him with those good looks.
Francis suggested, “There’s a spring fashion show by a famous brand at the central exhibition hall next month. Are you interested in watching it together?”
“Sure! I was just thinking of having a break recently,” agreed Christina.
As there were a lot of people exiting at the same time, someone bumped into Christina accidentally. Losing her balance, she toppled into Francis‘ arms.
He subconsciously shielded Christina’s head and warned hostilely, “Look where you’re going
The person turned around and glanced at Francis. As he was wearing a mask, all that was revealed was that cold gaze of his.
“Sorry, mumbled the person before striding away.
Christina regained her balance and gently left his embrace. “I’m fine. You should hide yourself! that others won’t discover you”
ter so
It was lucky that the man earlier did not take a closer look. Otherwise, he would have discovered Francis identity.
If someone spotted such a famous celebrity, it would attract huge crowds and lead to a lot of congestion. By then, it would be impossible for them to leave.
Narrowing his eyes, Francis asked with a smile, “Why? Are you worried about me?”
“Nonsense! I just don’t want to appear on the news and be attacked by your fans.” Christina sighed helplessly.
As an avid reader of entertainment news, she would regularly come across articles regarding Francis. As long as he had a collaboration with a female celebrity, his fans would unleash a barrage of attacks on her
online.
Regardless of how gorgeous the female lead was, Francis fans would never concede easily. Hence, there were many instances of wars breaking out between the fans of both parties.
If someone snapped a picture of her attending a fashion show with Francis, someongwould definitely wreck her the next day.
It was terrifying to even think about it.
Francis raised his hand and stroked her head gently. With his eyes filled with affection, he said with a smile, “Don’t be scared. I won’t let such things drag you down.”
This little girl looks so adorable when she’s anrious. Her cheeks are puffing out like little buns. I really want to bite
them.
While the two of them stood at the exit, the streetlamps shone on them, casting two long shadows that were so close to one another that it seemed quite romantic.
Christina shrank back to avoid his hand. Before she could say anything, a black shadow appeared in front of her. Soon, a fist landed heavily on Francis‘ face.
Even though he had trained before, Francis still got the full blow of the punch, having been caught off guard. Losing his balance, he fell onto the ground.
Francis glared at the person who hit him and roared, “Are you out of your mind, Nathaniel?”
“I’ve already warned you. You brought this upon yourself.” Nathaniel wiped his hands with a handkerchief before tossing it onto Francis body as if it was a piece of trash.
His sharp gaze was like daggers piercing Francis‘ flesh.
The commotion between both of them attracted quite a few curious glances from others. Christina quickly returned to her senses. Afraid that someone would recognize Francis, she stretched out her hand to help him up. “Don’t create a ruckus in public. It’ll be bad if someone takes a picture of us.”
The moment Francis hand touched Christina’s fingertips, someone slapped his hand away.
“Who allowed you to touch her?” Nathaniel pulled Christina behind him. Her thin body almost toppled over before she managed to regain her balance.
He had rushed over after finishing the discussion. To his surprise, he caught the two of them acting so intimately.
There was no way he would not be angry.
Christina could sense the tense atmosphere. It was as if there was gunpowder scattered in the air, threatening to explode at the drop of a pin.
She tugged the corner of Nathaniel’s shirt and said in the gentlest tone possible. “You’ve misunderstood, Nathaniel. We bumped into each other coincidentally at the fashion show.”
Their relationship had always been quite tense. Every time they met, a fight would always break out. It was more serious this time, with Nathaniel actually throwing a punch.
Francis stood up. His dark hair was slightly disheveled, and his mask had dropped to the side. There was a tinge of blood at the corners of his lips, his bloodshot eyes making him look like a wild wolf about to go on a rampage.
A complicated look appeared in his eyes when he glanced at Christina. Her watery eyes sparkled as if she had just suffered from a huge shock.
Francis frowned. “What do you take Christina for? There’s nothing between us. Are you so anxious because you aren’t confident in yourself or because you know that she doesn’t like you at all?”
His words of provocation immediately ignited Nathaniel’s fury.
Their expressions were equally cold, with neither of them willing to take a step back.
Nathaniel clenched his fists, feeling like all the blood in his body was boiling. “If there’s nothing between you two, why did you put your hand on her head? Why are both of you standing so close to each other? Don’t use your tricks from the entertainment industry on her!”
