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.

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.
