A Crazy Night

Chapter 477 An Excuse.

Christina rejected in a low voice, “Doesn’t he have a driver? You could call for a replacement driver too. If you can’t do that either, here’s another suggestion for you. Call Madison. She’ll definitely be eager to go.”

With that, she ended the call without hesitation.

Sebastian stared at the blank screen of his phone and broke into a cold sweat.

Mrs. Hadley is too ruthless. She hung up after saying she didn’t care!

With a grim expression, he turned to Nathaniel and said, “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley said…”

A scowl appeared on Nathaniel’s face. He had heard everything Christina had said on the other end.

What a vicious woman she is. Well, I’ll satisfy her since that’s what she wants.

“Call Madison.” Nathaniel commanded in a deep voice.

The corner of Sebastian’s lips twitched. Both of them are at odds with each other because of Madison, Wouldn’t he be adding fuel to the fire by calling her? All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Nevertheless, he dared not go against Nathaniel’s orders and made the call.

Madison rushed over immediately when she received the call.

Even though Sebastian said Nathaniel was drunk, the latter didn’t seem that way, nor did he look like he was experiencing any psychological issues.

Sebastian opened the door and met eyes with Madison. He was stunned for a second. “Mrs. Hadley? No. Why are you dressed like that, Madison?”

The woman before him wore a white dress, her dark hair cascading straight down her shoulders. Besides looking a little taller, she looked similar to Christina in other aspects.

Madison broke into a gleeful grin when Sebastian had mistaken her for Christina. “What do you think? I look just like Christina, don’t I? I look more beautiful than her, right?”

Sebastian furrowed his brows. “How do I put it? Mrs. Hadley is a naturally gentle person. You just look weird like this.”

“Oh, what do you know? Move. I want to see Mr. Hadley Having said that, Madison walked into the room.

Nathaniel was sitting on the couch, looking mysterious and elegant under the dim lights. Holding his glass of whiskey with his slender fingers, he gently swirled it around, and a soft clink sounded as the ice hit the glass.

His eyes were slightly lowered. He was seemingly lost in thoughts.

Nathaniel’s eyes went wide for a second when he looked up, but he soon realized he had gotten the wrong.

“Why are you dressed like that?” the man asked, his eyes cold and his brows scrunched up.

Sensing his displeasure, Madison tugged her hair behind her ears and said. “I dressed this way the last time too. Didn’t you like it a lot?”

The last time? A thought flashed across Nathaniel’s mind.

I got drunk the other night and mistook Madison for Christina!

He stood up abruptly and handed the car keys to Madison. “Drive us to Scenic Garden Manor.”

The woman’s eyes lit up. Does this mean Nathaniel is finally going to acknowledge me? Is he accepting me as the lady of the house now?

“Right away.”

Christina worked at her desk for a long time after she hung up, only taking a break after she had taken. care of all the documents piled at her desk.

She was quite happy when she thought about how she could spend the next day with Camila and Lucas,

Feeling a little hungry when she finished working, she went downstairs to look for food.

The sound of a car engine rang out from the courtyard as soon as she arrived downstairs.

Is Nathaniel back? Should I go take a look?

Christina saw two figures walking in while she was still pondering over whether she should go out. The lights were turned on, and she instantly saw who they were.

Her gaze landed on Madison. She was stunned when she saw how the latter was dressed, but she soon looked at her like how one would view a clown.

Madison felt a tinge of guilt from being stared at. However, a smug look appeared on her face when she thought of how she would soon be the lady of Scenic Garden Manor. “Nathaniel, let me help you up to your room.”

As she spoke, she reached out to grab Nathaniel’s hand, but the man coldly avoided her.

Madison was surprised to see that things did not turn out the way she wanted. “Nathaniel?”

“You can go back now.” Nathaniel walked over to Christina when he was done speaking.

Christina observed how Madison’s expression changed. “Thank you, Ms. Taggart. Should I have the driver send you back?”

“It’s fine. It’s only right that I send Nathaniel back,” Madison said, trying to force a smile the whole time.

“No, that won’t do. You’re not an employee of Hadley Corporation now, and you have nothing to do with Nathaniel. We can’t have your hard work be in vain. Here, take the money. You can treat it reward”

Christina whipped out some money and handed them to Madison, nipping any idea the latter had in the bud.

Madison felt insulted as she stared at the cash. “Nathaniel contacted me right away, so that must mean he sees me as his friend.”

“No, he didn’t. I didn’t have time to pick him up, so he contacted you. Don’t think you’re so special because of this, Ms. Taggart.” Christina’s eyes were cold, and she seemed to have recalled something when she took another glance at Madison’s outfit. She kept the money since Madison wasn’t taking it. “I’ll have the driver send you home. I don’t want you asking us to take responsibility if something happens to you on your way home.”

Madison swallowed hard when she heard that. How did Christina know what I was thinking?

The sound of a car engine was heard right then. The driver had arrived.

“Go ahead. Should I see you out?” Christina asked, a fake polite smile hanging on her lips.

In other words, she would chase Madison out if she didn’t leave soon.

Madison’s face darkened, and she turned to leave.

The living room fell back into silence. Christina turned to Nathaniel and asked. “Are you satisfied now? Two women were competing for your attention.”

Upon saying so, she ignored the tall figure before her and walked toward the stairs. She had already lost. her appetite after all that had happened.

Nathaniel grabbed her hand, and Christina stopped in her tracks. Turning to look at him, she was instantly met with his scorching gaze. “I got drunk the other night and called you. I thought the one wearing white was you

“That’s just an excuse. Are you going to use the same excuse when the two of you end up in bed together?”

Nathaniel froze in shock.

Christina took this chance and shoved his hand away, quickly making her way upstairs.

Christina received Sheridan’s call the next day saying all the problematic accounts had been sorted out.

“I’ve already made a copy of all the data. I’ll come pick you up now,” he said.

Christina was feeling anxious at that moment. This information would decide whether or not Anya would stay at Gibson Corporation. “All right. I’ll wait for you. Thanks for coming all the way here.”

She felt a mixture of emotions when she hung up.

Right then, two little figures ran into her room. They each hugged her thighs and asked childishly, “Mommy, are you sending us to the kindergarten today?”

Christina lowered her eyes and was greeted by their cute faces. “Sure! Grab your bags. I’ll drive you guys there.”

Both kids turned around and showed her their bags. “We’re all ready! Come on, Mommy!”

Christina sent them to the kindergarten, then waited at a café.
