Female Novel
Chapter 376 On One Condition
“Are you saying someone intended to kill Granny and Mom?” Christina, whose brows were furrowed,
plunged into deep thoughts.
“Or is it because your family had offended someone?” Francis was also baffled by the matter,
“That’s impossible,” answered Christina with resolution.
She knew very well what kind of person Evelyn and Sharon were. They certainly wouldn’t be on bad
terms with someone.
“If we want to get to the bottom of this, we can only investigate the Gibson family.” Francis gazed at the
calm look on her face and couldn’t figure out what was on her mind.
Suddenly, Christina raised her eyes and saw him staring at her with slanted eyes. “That’s it?”
“That’s all I managed to find out,” stated Francis honestly.
Christina mocked, “This little information is certainly not worth me signing a contract.”
“You’ve signed it anyway and can’t change your mind now. We’ll start working after fifteen minutes, You
can rest for a while.” A half-smile hung on his face.
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
It must be because Christina didn’t sleep well last night that she seemed slightly deprived of sleep now.
Music started playing in the quiet room. She fell asleep while leaning on the couch while listening to the
slow melody.
When she woke up, she realized she had overslept.
Why didn’t Francis wake me up?
After going downstairs, Christina saw Francis, who had put on make-up but had yet to change his
clothes.
“No need to hurry. Take your time.”
Several people around Christina turned to her and began to b*tch about her.
How dare she let Mr. Fernando wait for her. I’ve never seen a stylist so full of herself
She’s simply taking Mr. Fernando’s patience for granted to act as she pleases.
Christina had no intention of explaining anything and scowled at Francis.
She walked over to the wardrobe, picked the outfits to match them, and worked until nighttime.
“There will be a fashion show later. Come with me so I can introduce you to some famous people in the
industry.” Francis appeared behind Christina without making a sound.
“I still have things to do. Besides, there’s no term in the agreement saying I must accompany you to
social
events
Christina declined his request frankly. For some reason, she felt very tired today.
“All right. Head home early to rest after you finish work
After the staff hastily packed the stuff, they swarmed around Francis and left with him.
After tidying the clothes he had worn earlier, Christina placed them in the storeroom and walked out the
door
Nathaniel’s car was waiting for her at the entrance instead of the car she rode here this morning.
It was difficult to hail a taxi in the high end residential area.
Thus, Christina had no choice but to get into the car.
Then, the car drove away.
Nathaniel’s hand was propped against the car window. He rested his temple on the back of his hand
while reading the document in his hand with his eyes lowered. “Put these on.”
It was not until then that Christina noticed the branded shopping bag containing a dress and high heels
beside her foot.
“Where are we going?”
“A banquet.”
“I don’t want to go.”
Nathaniel put away the documents in his hands while his gaze shifted to the stubborn look on her small
face. “Get changed, or I’ll help you do that.”
His tone was very firm, leaving her no choice.novelbin
Christina regretted so much for taking care of him last night. Now that he has recovered, he is giving
me a hard
time.
Seeing her remain unmoved, Nathaniel simply raised his hand to remove her coat, exposing her fair
and tender shoulder.
His gesture made Christina’s hair stand on end like a frightened cat. Panicked, she uttered. “I’ll do it
myself.”
Only then did Nathaniel was willing to let go of her hand. The driver then rolled
up the partition.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the banquet’s entrance.
“Mr. Hadley, we’re very honored to have you attend tonight’s dinner,” said Frank, who organized the
event
He ran a fashion company that owned several famous clothing brands nationwide.
“May I know who is this lady?” A woman who came with Mr. Hadley must be high-status. I must get to
know her.
“She’s my wife.”
A glint flashed in Frank’s eyes. “So you’re Mrs. Hadley. What a coincidence. Some fashion designers
are also here today. Why don’t I introduce you to them?”
Nathaniel nodded faintly.
Frank left to look for the designers while Christina glared at Nathaniel from the side. Did he bring me
here today so that I can make new connections?
After a short while, Frank returned with two famous designers in the industry and introduced them to
Christina.
As designers who shared the same interests, they got along well and got acquainted quickly, saved
each other’s contacts, and even agreed to go to an exhibition together.
“We’ve invited a new ambassador to showcase the latest menswear tonight. Please let me know if
there is any to your liking, Mr. Hadley.” What mattered the most to Frank now was a collaboration with
Hadley. Corporation.
If Hadley Corporation invested in his company, the business would surely boost.
“I will keep an eye out,” said Nathaniel calmly.
Right then, music started playing on the stage at the front while some tall and slender male models.
dressed in the latest menswear walked out.
Everyone had their gazes fixated on the stage.
The menswear collection had pretty decent tailoring and design, while the outfit matching looked
stylish.
“Look. It’s Francis Fernando.”
“It’s really him. Let’s ask for his autograph backstage later!”
“Oh, my dream man…”
Hearing the familiar name, Christina shifted her gaze to the front. Francis’ appearance on the stage
instantly outshined the other male models.
It turned out that the event Francis mentioned earlier happened to be here..
They exchanged glances. When he saw her, the surprised look in his eyes was apparent, but it quickly
disappeared.
After Francis finished cat walking and got off the stage, many women surrounded him, requesting to
take pictures with him and have his autograph.
He fulfilled their wishes. After taking some pictures, the people around him dispersed.
Francis walked up to Christina. “Didn’t you say you were tired? Why didn’t you head home after getting
off work?”
Before Christina could say a word, he shot Nathaniel a provocative look. “Someone must have forced
you here against your will.”
“Stop it, warned Christina with a low voice.
Lately, every time Nathaniel and Francis met they always almost get into a fight.
Unaware of the relationship between the three of them, Frank grinned at the side and kept bringing up
the cooperation. “Mr. Hadley, what do you think about the new menswear collection? Is it worth the
investment?”
“They look nice, but the ambassador is awful. We’ll do business together on one condition-you
someone else,” stated Nathaniel coldly.

Caught in a bind, Frank looked at the charming Francis. Everyone thinks he looks stunning. How come
Mr. Hadley is still displeased?
“Sure. I’ll do as you wish.”
“Come to my office with the contract tomorrow.” After saying that, Nathaniel grabbed Christina’s hand
and added. “We’ll take our leave first.”
“Okay. Goodbye, Mr. Hadley.”
As they walked toward the door, Francis ran after them.
