Chapter 481 Are You Interested In Women
As expected of Nathaniel, he can always see through someone at a glance. Christina’s lips curved into
a begrudging smile as she asked, “Are you someone worthy of my trust?”
“No one but me is worthy,” came his reply.
Observing how confident he appeared, she could not help thinking he sounded rather convincing.
She handed the flash drive she was holding to him. “This thing is very important to me. You must keep
it carefully, okay?”
Her secretive manner made it seem as though she was entrusting him with some top–secret
information. Staring at the flash drive in his hand, Nathaniel asked, “What’s in it?”
“Some data. Very important data. I’ll need it when I’m back in Hallsbay. Before I return, however, I’m
entrusting it to you. If you lose it, you’ll have to be responsible,” she replied, forcefully transferring her
burden to him.
He weighed the small item in his hand, then raised a hand and held her by her chin. “And what about
the reward?”
“A reward? How calculative of you,” she scoffed. Why must I give him a reward for keeping such a tiny
thing safe? Whatever I can offer are things he has at his fingertips. As for anything that’s not within mymeans, he can obtain it with just a few words.
“I’m a businessman. I don’t do anything that has no value to it. As he spoke, he passed the flash drive
back
to her.
She puffed out her cheeks in exasperation. “What reward do you want?”
“I want to sleep with you,” he replied while pointing at the large bed behind her.
That request… seems doable. Without hesitation, Christina handed the flash drive to him again. “Deal.
You must keep it safe.”
With that, she finally felt the weight lift from her shoulders and turned to leave.
Over at the restaurant, Anya had ordered a delicious spread and even popped open two bottles of
good wine. “It’s my brother–in–law’s treat today, so there’s no need to hold back. Drink to your heart’s
content.”
The moment Christina walked in, she saw Anya flaunting her powerful connections. Sweeping her gaze
over the table, she saw that everything on it would cost at least several tens of thousands.
“You’re here, Christina! Come and sit.” Anya had deliberately left the seat next to her empty for
Christina. I’ve already told everyone about my plan just now. Everyone will toast Christina one after
another, and once she’s drunk, I can use that opportunity to search her and see if she has the flashdrive.
“You’re always so generous, Ms. Gibson. You’ve even cracked open a couple of bottles of good red
wine.” Christina picked up the red wine and glanced at it. A bottle would set one back several tens of
thousands.
Anya smiled. She had checked and learned that Nathaniel owned the hotel. That was why she hadnovelbin
decided to take advantage of that. “Christina, this is Nathaniel’s hotel. All you have to do is tell him to
foot the bill for this meal.”
Here, she paused for a while. Gazing at Christina with an amused expression, she continued, “Don’t
tell me you dare not make the call because he doesn’t listen to you.”
“He’s my husband, so he’s willing to pay for whatever I want to eat, drink, or buy. However, you and the
others don’t seem to have that sort of connection to him, am I right?” Christina folded her arms in front
of her chest, a mocking look in her eyes.,
As Nathaniel’s wife, I can spend his money anyhow I want. However, these people have nothing to dowith him. What right do they have to suggest something so ridiculous?
Instantly, a hush fell over the group. Even those who had been cheering enthusiastically looked at each
other wordlessly.
Only then did Christina pull out the chair and sit down. “However, since we’re here on vacation and this
is where I grew up, I suppose I’m considered the host. Hence, this meal is on me. Let’s all enjoy
ourselves to the fullest!”
She broke into a smile, and the atmosphere lightened considerably. The other colleagues laughed as
they poured her a drink. The conversation returned to normal after they clinked their glasses, but Anya
looked peeved.
In truth, Christina had deliberately done all that to teach Anya a lesson so that the latter would not dare
to take advantage of the situation again in the future.
Scowling, Anya cast an icy gaze over the others.
They sprang to action immediately and began refilling Christina’s glass while making ingratiating
remarks.
“Ms. Steele, thank you for your hospitality today. Here’s a toast to you. It’s bottoms up for me, but feel
free to drink as much as you wish,” one of her colleagues said before tilting their head back and
downing the entire glass of wine.
Christina did not feel like drinking. However, after hearing what the other party said, she had no choice
but to take a sip out of courtesy.
Since she held a higher position than the others, and they were not at a social dinner, she had no
reason to drink more than that.
The others were each more enthusiastic than the last. Although Christine did not drink much each time,
their continuous toasting was quickly too much for her.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Anya finally said, “There’s rock climbing available at the nearby
resort. Let’s go there together tomorrow. After that, we can come back here for lunch before making our
way back downtown. Do you think that’s a good idea, Christina?”
Christina had seen the nearby recreational area before. Although outdoor rock climbing would be more
difficult, she felt it would be beneficial for building physical strength. Hence, she replied, “Okay. That’s
decided, then.”
A strange smile tugged at the corners of Anya’s lips, but it quickly disappeared, and almost no one
noticed it. “Why don’t I take you upstairs, Christina?”
Christina stood up abruptly. “You guys enjoy yourselves. I’ll be heading up first.”
The two women left the table and headed toward the elevator. Moving closer, Anya placed an arm
around
Christina’s waist. “Let me help you.”
After they entered the elevator and the doors closed behind them, Christina pretended to tilt to one side
and lean against the wall. She glared at Anya. “There’s no one here. You don’t have to act as though
we have a close sisterly bond.”
Anya’s expression was somewhat stiff. If she hadn’t found the flash drive first, I’d never have beenwilling to touch
her.
She started searching Christina’s body anxiously. “You must be drunk, Christina. I always care a lot
about you.”
As she spoke, she continued scrabbling about Christina’s clothes. Why can’t I find it?
Christina pushed her hands away somewhat impatiently. Then, she drawled with a hint of an
interrogative tone, “Are you interested in women, Anya? Otherwise, why are you pawing at me like
that?”
A look of embarrassment crossed Anya’s face. I clearly saw her drink a lot just now, so why does shestill seem so aware? I searched her quickly just now, and I’m sure she doesn’t have the flash drive onher. Could she have left it in her room? However, it’d make sense for her to carry something soimportant with her, wouldn’t it?
After learning that Sheridan was an accountant, Anya guessed that Christina was checking her
documents because the latter wanted to look into her account at the company. Over the years, I’veused my position within the company to siphon off money countless times. If I get found out, I won’t beable to remain at Gibson Corporation.
Wanting to investigate further, Anya decided to follow Christina into her room.
When the elevator doors opened, she pulled Christina’s hand again. “Why did you get so drunk? Let
me help you.”
I can stand steadily, and I don’t feel dizzy. How am I drunk? Christina wanted to refuse, but Anya had
already taken her arm and was helping her walk out.
Although she attempted to push Anya away a few times, the latter stopped her each time. At the door
to the room, Anya grabbed Christina’s bag to look for the keycard.
Suddenly, the door opened with a beep. A tall figure loomed over Anya, blocking out the light from
above her head.
