Chapter 468 Does It Hurt

Have you looked your fill?

The seductive baritone of Nathaniel’s voice sounded as Christina lifted her eyes and met his intense gaze.

She looked away hastily, her face burning. I’m heading back to the company.

She strode out and was greeted by Sharon, who was heating up the leftover food from lunch. Christina, come and have dinner.

Christina’s stomach felt empty after waking up from her sleep. While she wasn’t particularly hungry, she sat at the table nonetheless and planned to grab a quick bite before being on her way.

Nathaniel stepped out, looking energized in his wellpressed clothing. He seemed to exude an innate sense of superiority.

He was as graceful as a prince that emerged from an oil painting as he took the spot next to Christina.

Sharon arranged the tableware before him. Nathaniel, you must be hungry since you didn’t have lunch. Please dig in.

With that, she scooped extra servings of food into his plate.

Christina was full after finishing just one plate due to her lack of appetite, while Nathaniel had more than his usual portion. They departed for the company together after dinner.

Gibson Corporation was empty as it was already after office hours.

Lina had arranged the documents on Christina’s desk before she went off. Christina felt invigorated and ready to get the day’s work done.

You should get back to work for now. We’ll discuss the details tomorrow.Christina sat down. Her gaze never once strayed from the documents before her.

Nathaniel’s eyes darkened. Was he being shooed away again?

He planted himself opposite Christina. I don’t have time tomorrow as I’ll be heading home. We’ll talk it over at Scenic Garden Manor if not tonight.”
