Chapter 501 Jealous Of Himself

“You’re back, Christina!” The surprise on Rayne’s face gave way immediately to delight.

They had not seen each other since Christina’s hurried departure.

“Yes, I am.” Christina replied with a smile. She dropped the purse slung on her shoulder, sat down, and gazed up at Rayne. “How’s the studio? Are there new orders?”

Christina felt a little guilty at the mention of that.

“No. After you left, Mr. Hadley had me put out a notice that you have gone on holiday,” Rayne answered.

“Well, the vacation’s over. Tell everyone I’m back and ready to take orders,” Christina said as she turned on her laptop.

Rayne was overjoyed at those words. If Christina is ready to take orders, it means that she would not be leaving again anytime soon. “Of course. I’ll get it done.”

Rayne left excitedly to put out the word.

“All right. Don’t go overboard with the PDA” Pursing her lips, Rayne gave the other a knowing look.

“We’ll have lunch tomorrow,” Christina offered. She was feeling fantastic now that she had resolved the knot in her chest, always wearing a big smile wherever she went.
