Let Me Stay The Night

“Christina, enough with the charade. Now that I’m out of the picture, you can finally have Nathaniel all to yourself. Shouldn’t you design a gown for me? You’re making me question whether you truly love Nathaniel at all. It seems he’s fallen for the wrong woman!” Madison’s eyes were red as she stared at Christina incredulously. She hadn’t anticipated that her request would be turned down.

“Madison, Nathaniel and I are married. We’ll be together forever regardless of your presence,” Christina replied slowly.

Madison felt a stab in her heart hearing the word “married.”

She gripped her fists, suppressing the intense surge of anger and jealousy within her.

Christina continued, “Besides, many people want me to design their gowns. I get to choose who my customers are.”

She was quite surprised to see Madison’s reaction. What is Madison trying to tamp down?

“Christina, are you saying you choose not to serve me? What right do you have to do that?” Madison. exploded.

Her sudden outburst echoed throughout the entire studio, causing Rayne to jolt in shock. She feared that a physical altercation had taken place.

She quickly rushed over to the glass walls, pressing her face against them to get a closer look, only to see that Christina and Madison were simply locked in a tense stare-down.

“You were the one who came here to my studio.” Christina seemed calm and composed.

The gentle but firm look in her gaze made Madison tense up.

Yes, I was the one who came here in search of Christina.

Madison took a deep breath and began to calm down. “If I provide evidence of Anya harming you, will you design my gown in exchange?”

“You know her?” Christina narrowed her eyes in surprise.

Madison flashed a mocking grin. “Christina, you’ve offended many people who want you dead.”

Madison was unaware of any details of the deep-seated grudge between Christina and Anya, but she had received a call from Anya the previous night.

Anya had proposed another collaboration and mentioned her plan to sue Christina, hoping to see her behind bars.
