Chapter 434 A Foolish Gift

Christina led the children out as soon as they finished their breakfast.

After dropping the children off at the kindergarten, she returned to the studio and found her desk. spotless, save for a freshly brewed cup of coffee.

Christina took a sip and remarked to herself that Rayne’s skills as a barista had improved.

Just then, her phone rang: it was Midas, the designer. When she picked up, a suave voice announced, “My friends are having a welcome party for me, Christina. Come and join us tonight, would you?”

Midas spent most of his time abroad. On his occasional trips to Chanaea, he would get together with some of his friends.

The pair had gotten along well during their last meeting about design. “Sure. Send me the address,” Christina said with a polite laugh.

“See you tonight.” After hanging up, Midas sent an address.

Setting her phone aside, Christina turned her attention back to work until later that afternoon, when she called the butler and tasked him to pick the children up as she had matters to attend to

After relegating her instructions, Christina exited her office and went to a mall owned by Hadley Corporation.

She headed to a branded store selling apparel for men, picked out a tie clip in the accessories section, and had the store assistant gift wrap it.

Nathaniel happened to be passing by in the corridor outside the store during an inspection of the mall. He was flanked by a group of executives clad in suits. Beside him, Sebastian was giving a report on the mall’s annual performance.

Nathaniel’s footsteps suddenly came to an abrupt halt. Following his lead, his entourage staggered. The ones at the back nearly lost their footing.

Turning around, he caught sight of her familiar silhouette. He saw her paying for something at the counter, and the shop assistant handed her a gift bag.

With her purchase, she walked out of there without noticing him.

Nathaniel glanced up at the shop’s sign and found that it was a store selling men’s apparel.

Could she have gotten me a gifi? She must have realized that she was wrong and wants to apologize to me.
