Chapter 354 Strange Bodyguard
Nathaniel pointed at the time on the screen and said coldly, “Rest.”
“I’ll rest later…”
“That’s what Mr. Hadley instructed.” Those words of his instantly shut Christina up and made her swallow all her excuses.
At the mention of Nathaniel’s name, Christina suddenly realized that they had not been in contact for a long time. The last conversation she had with Nathaniel was before boarding the plane.
Given Nathaniel’s temperament, it was impossible for him to not contact her at all.

As such, she puffed her cheeks and reluctantly stomped her way toward the bed like an angry little bunny.
Nathaniel didn’t follow her. He was a man, after all, so he should know to keep his distance.

Christina: No. Are you planning to acquire Yosef’s and my studio?
As soon as her message was sent out, another ping sounded in the quiet space.
