Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Carrying Out Orders.

Jewel rolled her eyes dismissively, huffing. “She’s just a mediocre designer. What’s so special about that? She’s only making a name for herself by riding on Nathaniel’s coattails.”

Then, she turned to Christina and said, “The woman who ordered your clothes last night was obviously trying to curry favor with Hadley Corporation. Who would be interested in your stuff otherwise?”

Christina was no pushover and wouldn’t tolerate this impertinent young lady.

With a cold smile playing on her lips, she retorted, “Let’s not forget who threw a fit backstage last night after failing to get a few dresses. I wonder who it was who hit and yelled at people?”

motive.

Seeing Christina’s silence, Jewel continued, “Don’t say I didn’t look out for you. This isn’t just any party. You could hand out a few business cards and attract many customers.”

Her tone was boastful, as if she was doing Christina a huge favor.
