Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 512 Eighteen.

A laugh escaped Christina at that. “All right, tidy up and prep for work.”

After entering the office, Christina took out a blank piece of paper. From that day onward, she had to start designing Madison’s dress for her engagement.

She would have to deal with Anya’s case after designing the dress.

Initially, Christina had designed the dress based on Madison’s preferred style of dressing, ready to face Madison picking a bone with her design.

To her surprise, Madison never appeared after the day she met her by the gates.

It was as if Madison had forgotten about the matter.

Since Madison seemed unbothered by the design, Christina dropped her reservations and started exploring other styles, hoping to make Madison the most eye-catching presence at her

engagement.

After all, a wedding is a major event for a woman. She was not going to let her feelings get in the way of the design and nor was she going to embarrass herself with a mediocre design.

For the following two weeks, Christina made three drafts of dresses in varying styles.

One was a traditional sleeveless gown, another was an off-shoulder fitting gown, and the third was a pale purple satin mermaid gown.

Every one of the gowns was capable of accentuating the best parts of Madison’s figure.

Soon, Christina brought those three design drawings to the Taggart residence where Madison was.

Madison was delighted to see those designs.

All women in the world like pretty clothes, and Madison was no exception.

Even though she despised Christina, she could not help but think about how Nathaniel was going to be stunned by her beauty in those gowns.

“Okay, these three will do,” Madison said as she pretended to force herself to accept the designs.

Christina was unbothered by her response, however, for she had mentally prepared herself to hear an onslaught of sarcastic comments from Madison.
