Chapter 42 Let Me Stay The Night

He had her fingers tightly wrapped within the palm of his hand while he gently caressed them as if he was playing with a cute kitten.

Christina knew that she should pull her hand back as they were standing in a public area. Though the spot they were at was inconspicuous, they were still surrounded by people.

Staff and crew members would pass them by from time to time, so it was possible that someone would notice them standing next to each other.

The lighting in the area was dim, but people could still notice them holding hands if they looked closely.

Her heart was beating rapidly as though she were a high school student falling in love for the first time. It was an incredibly thrilling sensation to sneakily do something she shouldn’t have while at risk of being caught.

It wasn’t until the fashion show was coming to an end that Christina quickly pulled her hand back. “I need to head backstage now.”

Nathaniel flashed her a smile and watched as she ran off.

There was, however, a hint of exhaustion on his handsome face, which was probably the result of his overworking.

Christina made her way over and asked worriedly, “Are you tired? Let’s go home, okay?”

That was when Gina called and urged her to head over to the barbecue place. As her design was the spotlight of the fashion show, everyone wanted to have a chat with her about it.
