“Good evening, Mr. Hadley. Who’s this beauty you brought along today?” Charles Lowe piped up as soon as they walked in.

He was the CEO of Golden Peak Group.

In fact, all of the seats at the table were filled by a bunch of well-known CEOs. It was Christina’s first time seeing so many VIPs in one place.

It seemed like birds of a feather really did flock together.

“She’s my personal assistant,” Nathaniel said plainly. He wasn’t about to reveal Christina’s true identity.

The two of them sat down next to each other, and a waiter approached to fill their glasses. Madison, on the other hand, remained unnoticed when she walked in a couple of minutes after.

She used to be the center of attention whenever she walked into the room. Instead of teasing her, the men’s attention at the table was all fixated on Christina now.

Madison sat next to Christina and accidentally met eyes with a CEO sitting across from her.

After giving her a meaningful glance, he looked away.

Madison scoffed inwardly. She couldn’t wait to see how capable Christina was.

A few more CEOs came by in the pretense of toasting to Nathaniel, but in reality, they all just wanted. to get a closer look at the gorgeous woman sitting next to him.

“Only a lady this beautiful could manage to win Mr. Hadley’s heart over,” Charles said with a chuckle. His gaze, however, shone with a glimpse of malevolence.

Christina smiled gently. “Mr. Hadley prefers to go for substance instead. I’m honored that he picked my skillset over others.”

She had managed to shut down Charles’ jab in just two sentences. If he said anything else, he was going to seem like the petty one.

The other CEOs could tell that she wasn’t someone to be messed with. She was like a nightshade flower

– beautiful but deadly.

There were some other business partners who hadn’t personally met Nathaniel before, and all of them went up to toast him.

It wasn’t as bad while toasting the familiar people for Nathaniel because even though he had seen some of them before, he hadn’t cared enough to remember their names. So when he couldn’t address them properly, the situation became rather awkward.

Christina stood up and reminded Nathaniel of their names quietly next to him. “This is Mr. Wesley. He owns a company in the west of the city and worked with Hadley Corporation before.”
