Chapter 100 Is There A Problem

Madison did not believe Christina was capable of any hing. Nathaniel must have spoken that without much thought.

Yet, seconds later, Nathaniel agreed. “All right. Make sure you learn a thing or two from her then.”

Madison pondered whether Nathaniel’s comment was meant as a joke. Christina, who comes from a nouveau-rich family, might be a university graduate, but she’s just an unaccomplished designer. She may have knowledge about sewing and tailoring, but I doubt she knows anything about red wines and their production years. Yet, he still wants her to be there? Even if Nathaniel protective of her, he shouldn’t risk turning an important lunch into a circus!

A few seconds later, she composed herself. With an idea forming in mind, she clenched her teeth and

flashed a smirk.

“Certainly, I will.” Madison left after that.

As soon as she heard the door closing, Christina emerged like a startled rabbit, staring incredulously as she asked, “You don’t intend to take me to that lunch, do you?”

“Any problem with that?” A cold glint flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes.

Christina was on the verge of tears when she gazed into his steady eyes. Of course, there is! A big problem! How on earth did he find the confidence to say that to Madison? Even the smallest mistake in an event like that could make me a laughingstock!

Christina wanted to refute, but after meeting his piercing gaze, she swallowed the words that had formed in her throat.

“All right. As long as you don’t think there’s a problem, it’s fine with me,” she responded. What else can I say?

A few moments later, Sebastian came in, bringing some snacks for supper and arranging them on the coffee table.

As Christina caught a whiff of the aroma, she eagerly began eating the snacks, much like a hungry. squirrel foraging for a meal.

Nathaniel walked over and saw her stuffing her cheeks full as if she was worried someone might snatch her food away. “Just stick close to me throughout the heal.”

At that point, Christina was no longer thinking about the business lunch. “So when you said I was capable, were you actually referring to yourself being capable?” she casually remarked while taking a bite of the lamb shank. Did he not say my capabilities were on par with Madison’s? So he was only saying that because he knew I could count on him?

“Isn’t that true?” Nathaniel sliced the steak into parts and stuffed a piece into her mouth.
