A Crazy Night Novel

After Christina returned to her office, she saw the news Rayne had shared with her.

It was a piece of gossip news. She had been so busy lately that she didn’t have the time to check stuff like those.

When she pressed on the link, she saw a picture of Nathaniel and Madison attending at banquet together. Both were dressed elegantly, and the article described how perfect a match they were with each other.

Is Nathaniel doing this intentionally so I’ll see it? Didn’t he say a marital breakdown would affect his company’s stock? In that case, why is he publicly spending time with Madison? I don’t really care about them, but I am worried that Lucas and Camila may be bullied in Scenic Garden Manor. Christina lifted her eyes and ordered, “Set up a meeting with Hadley Corporation.”

Lina nodded. “Will do.”

Hadley Corporation responded quickly and agreed to a meeting tomorrow afternoon at a restaurant near the building.

During the afternoon, Christina brought Lina to a meeting about the signing of a contract.

When they arrived, the people responsible for the project had been drinking red wine.

The moment those people saw Christina, the look in their eyes darkened. One of them jested, “I didn’t expect the new CEO of Gibson Corporation to be that pretty.”

Christina disliked socializing. In the past, when she was just a designer, she could choose to rest and isolate herself whenever she felt like it.

However, things had changed. Gibson Corporation’s well-being had become her responsibility. Hence, she couldn’t reject some socializing events just because she didn’t want to attend them.

Upon entering the room, Christina grinned at the group. “Have you all read the contract? If none of you have issues with it, let’s proceed with the signing.”

“It’s boring that you talk about business the moment you arrive, Ms. Steele. Also, since you’re late, your punishment will be downing three glasses of wine.” A male executive poured a glass of red wine for Christina.

Christina’s expression tensed up as she didn’t want to drink.
