Chapter 22 Different Worlds.

The atmosphere at the scene grew tense.

Next, a shadow appeared in the silhouette of a tall man, and he was wearing a wrinkleless suit. That man was handsome and aloof.

“Sir?” the store manager A Crazy Night (Christina Steele) Chapter 22A Crazy Night (Christina Steele) Chapter 22greeted the man, but the man ignored her and walked straight toward the messy pile of shoe boxes.

Xandra’s heart skipped a beat when she saw that handsome man’s face. “Nathaniel? W-Why are you here?”

Xandra was wondering if Nathaniel saw her bullying Christina.

While looking at Christina’s reddened knuckles, Nathaniel frowned and asked Xandra, “Did you do this?”

When he entered the store earlier, he had already noticed the weird looks on the two women’s faces.

Feeling guilty. Xandra stammered, “I-I’m innocent! When I saw Christina working here, I came in just to help her make some sales!”

Xandra’s acting skills were so impressive that if the staff hadn’t seen her bullying Christina, they would’ve surely believed her words.

Meanwhile, Christina had a stone-cold expression on her face because she didn’t want Nathaniel to see the wretched state she was in. “I’m working here. Please leave.”

As she was saying that, she didn’t dare to look into Nathaniel’s dark gaze. Although she was talking in a cold tone, her flushed ears betrayed her feelings.

Nathaniel’s expression tensed when he heard that, and his innate arrogance instantly froze the atmosphere. Is she expecting me to leave and let her get bullied by others? This woman is ridiculous!

From the moment Nathaniel appeared until he brought Christina away, the store manager didn’t dare to utter a single word.

That was because she knew the man with an imposing presence was none other than the CEO of the mall. Although he had only appeared once during the opening ceremony, his aura and his handsome face left an unforgettable impression on her.

Suddenly, Nathaniel stopped in his tracks. With a stern expression, he pulled out a black card and gave it to the store manager. “I’m buying everything you have.”

With that, he dragged Christina along as he continued walking. “Now, you’re free to leave work”

Obviously, Christina wasn’t keen on leaving. However, that wasn’t up to her.

In fact, she knew that Nathaniel would always have a way to convince her to do whatever he wanted

her to do.

Xandra was livid as she watched the couple leave. She then vented her anger by kicking the new shoes. Why did Nathaniel show up and protect Christina? What’s so good about that country bumpkin?

Upon exiting the mall, Nathaniel shoved Christina into the back seat of the car before getting into the vehicle himself.

The atmosphere in the spacious car suddenly turned extremely tense and suffocating
