Chapter 50 Reluctant To Leave

As they smiled at each other, their countenances were reflected in each other’s eyes.

Upon stopping the car at a red traffic light, Nathaniel suddenly raised his hand and grabbed the back of Christina’s head with his large palm.

Then he gently pulled her toward his embrace, lifted her chin, and kissed her lips. She has a sweet, refreshing fragrance I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of

As there weren’t any other cars on the street, the black Maybach remained unmoving even after the traffic light turned green.

It wasn’t until the light went through another cycle of red to green again that Nathaniel unwillingly let

Christina go.

When they did, they seemed calm, as though they hadn’t just had an intimate moment.

Half an hour later, the car arrived before a familiar building.

killed the engine and held her small hands while affectionately gazing at her delicate face.

“I’m reluctant to leave you whenever I send you home” Upon finishing his sentence, Nathaniel raised and pecked the back of her hand.

Christina smiled shyly. “You’re such a sweet-talker.”

“I’m telling the truth.” He grinned, too.

In the past, he thought he could never flirt with anyone. It wasn’t until he fell in love that he realized all sweet nothings came naturally from the heart and didn’t need to be learned.

“In two days, I’ll be going on a business trip to Hallsbay. It may be a week before I can return.” Nathaniel paused before turning to Christina. “How about you ask for a leave and accompany me there?” Hallsbay’s a prominent city, so there should be plenty of fun sights to visit.

Looking somewhat troubled, she rejected his invitation. “I’ve just received a new assignment, so I can’t leave now. How about next time?”

Of course, he was disappointed to hear that. So, money can’t solve everything, after all. Although, after our dispute last time, I’d like to avoid arguing with her over small matters. I suppose there’s nothing else I can do about this. “Okay, we’ll go there next time.”

Christina withdrew her hand. “I’ll be going back now, then.”

“Mhm.”

The atmosphere had turned slightly ambiguous.

After unbuckling her seatbelt, she kissed Nathaniel’s cheek.

Her heart raced as she blushed.

“Goodnight,” uttered Christina before she left the vehicle.

Once returning to the building, she waited until she heard his car leaving before jogging to her room.

In the following two days, both of them were very occupied with their work.

As she and her coworkers still had plenty of disagreements, their designs underwent multiple revisions before the finals were handed to Gina.

Thankfully, Gina was quite satisfied with the designs. If there were no further problems, all that was left was to manufacture the products.

Nathaniel invited Christina to dinner on the day of his departure. As busy as she was, she squeezed out some time to join him.

He brought her to a famous, tastefully decorated restaurant known as West Coast. Inside, anywhere. they looked, they could see works of art.
