A Crazy Night Novel

Christina was surprised. #hy is Lucas blocking Madison’s teay?

In contrast to Christina, Madison’s eyes lit up. If I can get Nathaniel’s son to like me, he might not resent me that much.

She then knelt down with a smile. “Boy, do you want me to stay here with you?”

Lucas shook his head. “Madam, you dropped your lipstick on the couch. If you don’t take it with you, the cleaner will throw it away”

His words drew Christina’s attention to the sofa where she spotted a black lipstick case stuck in between the gap. It was hard to notice if one didn’t look close enough.

This must be one of Madison’s schemes. By leaving her lipstick in the office, she can cook up an excuse to come back here.

Madison’s expression froze before she broke into an awkward smile. After picking up her lipstick and putting it back inside her bag, she headed out the door.

However, Camila pinched her nose and snorted. “This perfume stuff’s up my nose. Mommy’s scent is so much better.”

Her words didn’t escape Madison. The moment she stepped out of the office, she lowered her head to give her body a sniff. This is the latest perfume on the market. Is the smell really that jarring?

When she turned around to look at Christina, she could see that the latter barely put on any makeup. Christina was wearing a light-colored outfit with her hair draped straight down on her shoulder. In a way, Christina did exude an aloofness that made her inexplicably beautiful coupled with the faint scent she carried.

Is this what differentiates us?

Meanwhile, inside a conference room, members of senior management were getting reprimanded by Nathaniel for failing to meet the targets he set for them.

The worst part was that they had nothing to defend themselves with, for everything Nathaniel said made perfect sense.

Once the meeting was over, Nathaniel returned to his office with a scowl on his face. A delicious and smoky aroma made him feel hungry the moment he stepped in.

“Daddy, come over quickly. It’s time for lunch!” Camila’s gentle voice relieved Nathaniel of the frustration he carried from work.

Lucas, with his innocent-looking face, declared smugly, “You’re in for a treat today, Daddy. Mommy has made all these for you”

Nathaniel gave Christina a look that was filled with anticipation. Since when did she become so thoughtful? Is she apologizing for kicking me last night?
