Chapter 126 New Style
Time stood still. After a while, Nathaniel uttered through gritted teeth, “I don’t know.”
“Today, I’m doing styling for Coco’s new music video. Do you remember Coco? I was the one in charge of her clothing styling for my first television series.”
Christina got more and more animated as she spoke. Her words were soft and sweet, like cotton candy, and they melted one’s heart.
Gradually, the atmosphere in the car became less tense.
“I think I’m much better in my job now, and I should be able to have my own distinct style soon. When I open up my own studio, do you want to be my first customer? I’ll make you the most handsome- looking suit that will make you shine at all times.”
Christina’s eager expression made her look like an adorable, small animal waiting for his approval.
Nathaniel was no longer as cold as before. He raised his long fingers, touched her chin, and caressed her soft and smooth skin.
“All right.”
All of a sudden, his gorgeous face came close to Christina’s. Before she knew it, he bent down and kissed her on her lips. Her heart skipped a beat, and there was only silence.
Nathaniel had his arms around her slender shoulders as he assaulted her with his passionate kiss. Just as she was about to pass out, he released her.
“You aren’t allowed to go near him in the future.”
By him, Christina knew that he was referring to Francis. I wonder why Nathaniel hates him so much. Is it because Francis is an illegitimate child?
The grudges from the previous generations tended to have an effect on the younger generations too.
Christina bit her lip. “But I still have a job to do, and Coco is his… Coco is one of his artists. I can’t get away from him…”
Her words turned the atmosphere ice-cold once again.
Even Sebastian felt like jumping out of the car as the tense atmosphere terrified him. Why can’t Mrs. Hadley lie to Mr. Hadley? It’s not like he can use a surveillance camera on you when you’re at work, can he?
Christina looked at that cold face of his carefully before continuing, “However, I can assure you that I won’t have any interaction with Francis besides work-related stuff.”
Unfortunately, Nathaniel did not budge an inch. He was still as cold as ever.
Christina wrapped her arms around his lean torso and could feel the result of the hard work that he put in at the gym. She then returned to her senses.
“Think about it. You wouldn’t find out even if I lied to you and continued to work with Francis behind your back. However, I don’t do pretentious things.”

Christina’s assurance was way better than any other tactic. If he still refused to give in, it would make him look very harsh.
The annoyance on Nathaniel’s face lessened. “Okay. In the future, Sebastian will send you to work and fetch you afterward.”
At that moment, Sebastian was frozen to his scat. “Yes, Mr. Hadley.”
The following day, Christina saw Sebastian waiting for her when she was about to head to work.
“You’re a very busy man. Why don’t you just let the driver send me instead?” Christina felt that it was a waste of resources for the secretary of a CEO to be sending her to work.
Sebastian smiled and opened the car door. “Mr. Hadley trusts me. That’s why he lets me do this task. I have an assistant to help me with things recently, so it’s all right.”
“Oh, by the way, what happened to Madison?” asked Christina after she got into the car. Madison had not made things difficult for her in a long time.
Sebastian started the engine and replied, “Mr. Hadley has sent her abroad to deal with some projects.”
Madison was sent away after Ada’s identity was revealed. It was not hard to guess what Nathaniel’s motive was.
Christina asked no more questions. She took out her tablet and started working.
Soon, they arrived at the location. Francis was not there that day, and Christina felt that everything went much smoother and faster.
It was easy for Coco to portray the playful style given her childlike face. There was no need to use extra styling. The moment she showed up, she was in character.
Christina had prepared shimmery makeup for her. The current set of styling made Coco look even more quirky and cheerful..
Once they were done with indoor filming that morning, they proceeded to the outdoor location.
In order to achieve good lighting, the staff moved quickly once they were done with the indoor shooting.
During the lunch break, Christina tidied up the clothes. Since she had no assistant, she had to do everything by herself.
The next scene was an outdoor location that was built by the studio. Back then, Francis had built it for the sake of convenience.
Most of the company’s music videos and photoshoots were shot and completed at the same location.
Christina went to the location using the company car. By the time she arrived, the staff were staging the place. She, on the other hand, had already laid out all her tools and equipment.
“Are
you Coco’s stylist?” asked a piercing voice, causing Christina to turn around.
The woman was dressed in simple black clothing, and she had no makeup on. She appeared to
of the artists here for the shoot.

“Yes,” answered Christina indifferently.
Gwyneth Lawson placed her hands on her waist, feeling unhappy about Christina’s attitude. However, Gwyneth had heard from the cameraman that Coco’s styling was excellent the day before, and her makeup was different from usual. As such, Gwyneth wanted to try Christina out as well.
She did not expect Christina to be so unappreciative.
Gwyneth’s assistant walked up to Christina and said arrogantly, “Do you know who you are talking to? Lots of makeup artists want to work with Ms. Lawson!”.
Christina glanced at the tall and slender woman. Gwyneth indeed had a great figure and a good- looking face, so Christina had no doubt she was an artist.
However, Christina was not interested in working with her. After a soft “I see” as acknowledgment, she continued with her work.
It was Gwyneth’s first time witnessing such an arrogan working attitude from a stylist. Then again, she had been in the entertainment industry for some time now. It was true that some unique stylists had a bit of a temper.
Thus, Gwyneth pulled out a chair and sat down. She then undid her black jacket, which happened to showcase her exquisite figure. “Come over and do my makeup.”
Christina turned around and saw her in the chair. “My apologies. I have to do the makeup for Coco later on, so I won’t have time for you.”
Gwyneth’s assistant glared at Christina before telling her off, “Ms. Lawson is Coco’s senior. Is there anything wrong with letting Ms. Lawson go first?”
Christina was at a loss for words. It was the first time something like that had happened to her.
Just then, Coco came over. After changing into a pink checkered dress, she looked extremely adorable.
She had heard the conversation earlier on. Since Gwyneth was more famous and higher in seniority, she tended to bully the newer and younger artists.
