Let Me Stay The Night

At that instant, Xylie experienced regret for the very first time in her life. If she could have predicted that she would offend two big shots at one go when she stepped on Christina’s toes back then, she would never have dared to make trouble at the latter’s fashion show.

She bit her lower lip as though she was the person who had suffered immense aggrieve. “Not at all, Mrs. Hadley. I’m willing to do whatever you ask of me, so long as it makes you happy.”

“Put your fake acting skills away. There are many people coming and going here. I don’t want others to misunderstand that I’m picking on you,” Christina drawled with a smirk.

Xylie went pale, struck dumb by the woman’s scornful remark.

Even without delving into the matter, Nathaniel could accurately surmise the entire chain of events. He was not in the habit of allowing someone who once bullied his woman to cover things up with a simple apology.

“Forget it since you’re not willing to apologize. I don’t dare pick trouble with Mr. Labarge’s woman. My wife and I have something to discuss, so please see yourselves off.” Nathaniel dismissed the couple in an icy voice.

At that, Winston did not have the audacity to tarry there any longer. “Sorry. We’ll leave you to it, then, Mr. and Mrs. Hadley. See you.”

He left alone with huge strides. Biting the bullet, Xylie trailed after him.

When they had gone a distance away from the café, Winston whirled around and glared at Xylie. “Aren’t. you usually good at pleasing others? Why did you turn into a veritable fool earlier that you couldn’t even say anything nice?”

With red–rimmed eyes, Xylie argued aggrievedly, “I… I also wanted to please them, but they didn’t give me any chance to do so. Besides, I didn’t dare speak to Mr. Hadley when Mrs. Hadley was hostile toward me

Lighting a cigarette, Winston took a deep drag. His brows were knitted together slightly. “Tell me what exactly happened between you and Christina.”

Xylie told him about the grudge between her and Christina, but she did not speak the truth. Instead, she deftly pushed all the blame onto the latter. After all, she could not afford to lose such a generous sugar daddy as Winston.

Nevertheless, Winston was no fool.

Considering Christina’s identity and status back then, international supermodels would’ve scrambled to model at her fashion show if she had only asked Nathaniel for help. Hence, she can’t be blamed for the situation today. If one wants to assign blame, it can only be Xylie’s fault for having misconceptions about her status and courting death just because she had some fame.

There had never been a lack of intelligent women around him. While Xylie was his cup of tea, it did not matter since she was not supporting him. The most important thing then was to change Nathaniel’s and Christina’s perceptions of him.
