Chapter 400 Decorating The New Place
The two of them returned to the condominium.
“Did you tell the children about my injury?” asked Christina worriedly.
She did not want the children to worry about her.
“No I only told them that you are decorating the new house and will be giving them a surprise in a couple of days time.” Nathaniel smiled and continued, “They are looking forward to it.”
Christina had ordered a lot of paintings, curtains, and lights, but she had yet to open the parcels. Thus, they were all piled in a corner.
She looked perplexed when she looked at the pile of decorative items. “How can I get it done in two days”
time?”
Given her speed, it would probably take her around a week.
“Let’s do it together. It will be faster.”
Nathaniel removed his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and removed the expensive watch from his wrist.
Let me open the parcels first.”
“In that case, I shall cook lunch for you. Later, we can install them together.”
With that, Christina went into the kitchen.
There were only some basic ingredients in her fridge. She knew that Nathaniel did not like greasy food, so she made something simple.
Nathaniel began to feel hungry when he smelled the aroma of the food.
He stopped working, went to the dining table, and saw the delicious-looking chicken.
“It smells so good.”
“Have a taste.” Christina then fed him a piece of the chicken.
“It’s tasty. If only I can have it every day.” Nathaniel hinted at Christina.
Christina placed her hands on her waist and flicked his nose. “Are you trying to trick me into becoming your chef? Can you even afford to hire me?”
Nathaniel chuckled and said, “I will give you all my money. From now on, you will manage everything.”
“I’ll think about it.”
Christina went into the kitchen and brought out all the food. The two of them sat down for their meals. “Eat more. You have lost so much weight after staying in the hospital for a day.”
Food was piling on Christina’s plate, and it began to look like a small mountain. “I can’t finish all of this.” Nathaniel did not seem to hear her. He wanted so badly to fatten her up in one meal.

Chapter 400 Decorating The New Place
After eating. the two of them began to decorate the house.
During that period of time. Sebastian went to purchase some items needed to hang the paintings.
Christina was telling Nathamel where the paintings should be hung and where the television should be placed.
It was the first time Sebastian saw anyone ordering Nathaniel around, but Nathaniel seemed very happy about it
Initially. Sebastian wanted to stay and help, but Nathaniel turned him down.
In the end. Sebastian left.
That night, the decoration of the condominium was finally completed.
Looking at the beautifully-decorated home of hers, Christina’s heart was filled with happiness.
They had hung lots of LED lights on the balcony. When they turned them on, it looked as if the stars were right in front of their eyes.
“Lucas and Camila will surely love it here,” said Christina.
Nathaniel looked at her and said, “I like it too.”
When their eyes met, it felt as if time stood still. Their lips touched, and the temperature of the room went up a notch.
The two of them hugged and wanted to regain lost time.
In the beginning, Christina welcomed his kiss. Gradually, she began to run out of air, and her body was hanging onto Nathaniel’s.
Under the starry sky, the couple held onto each another.
The following day in the conference room at Hadley Corporation, they were having a meeting with Yerek.
Christina was dressed in her suit with half her hair tied up. She exuded an ethereal look with that exquisite tiny face of hers.
Sebastian placed the stack of photocopied documents on the table.
Nathaniel said, “For the first season, we will like to collaborate with Midas.”
When Christina heard that, she glanced at him.
She had mentioned the designer’s name while they were watching a movie and did not expect Nathaniel to remember it.
Yerek’s a*sistant whispered something in his cars and explained the situation to him.
“Sure. I’ll get my a*sistant to contact him. You will get work with him for sure.” Yerek began to read through the document.

It was the same as per their last discussion
“If there is no issue, shall we sign it?” Yerek crossed his arms and looked at Christina.
Nathaniel opened up the folder. The contract had been done up by his lawyers, so he was sure that it would be all right.
Both parties signed the contract, and that was the start of their collaboration.
Yerek was pleased. “I look forward to working together. Shall we have a drink?”
“Sure,” said Nathaniel.
“There is a restaurant nearby. Why don’t we go there and celebrate the signing of this contract?” Yerek smiled as he looked at Christina’s calm expression.
“I’ll go there and wait for both of you.”
With that he left, whistling.
Half an hour later, the table was laid with various kinds of food and red wine.
“Mr. Gibson, why do you bother to spend so much effort? Doesn’t working with Hadley Corporation mess up your plan?” asked Yerek’s a*sistant.
Yerek took his wine gla*s and gave it a twirl. An insidious glint flashed across his eyes. “We have no idea what is going to happen.”
The door was pushed open, and in came a tall figure.
In that instant, the atmosphere of the room became tense.
When Yerek saw Nathaniel walking in without Christina, his smile was gone.
“Where’s Ms. Steele? Why isn’t she here?” Yerek sounded disappointed.
Nathaniel had one hand in his pocket. “I have never said that Ms. Steele will be joining us, have 1? Or perhaps, Mr. Gibson doesn’t want me here?”
“Of course not. Please have a seat.” Yerek waved his hand, but there was no expression on his face.
Nathaniel sat down and said, “Gibson Corporation has several businesses. I heard that you own a tile factory. How is the quality? Hadley Corporation builds residential areas on a frequent basis. Maybe we can work together.”
To that, Yerek replied. “I’m sure there’ll be an opportunity.”
After chatting for a while, Nathaniel left.
The moment he left, Yerek’s phone rang.
“Mr. Gibson, something has happened. Someone has reported that our tile factory is making poor-quality tiles and that we are plagiarizing. The factory manager has been arrested, and the workers go on strike. What should we do?”
“I’ll deal with it.” With that, he hung up the phone.

Nathaniel had taken action behind his back.
Well wait and see who the bigger lower is
121 Ba
When Nathaniel returned to the office, he received the good news that Yerek’s factory had been shut down.
Even though they had yet to find out the mastermind of the accident, he was sure Yerek had something to do with it.
He could not allow others to threaten his life. Moreover, that incident involved Christina. That was why he must not waste any more time.
“Check out the businesses owned by Gibson Corporation.” Nathaniel looked even more grim.
One look and he could tell that Yerek was not a law-abiding person. Therefore, it would not be difficult for Nathaniel to spot problems with anyone of his projects.
Sebastian had not seen Nathaniel so angry in a long time. Looks like things are about to get serious!
By afternoon, Sebastian placed the documents on the table. “Mr. Hadley, they’re all here.”
Nathaniel’s expression darkened. “Look through them. I want to know about every problematic business that is owned by Gibson Corporation.”
