Chapter 21

A Small World

Peacock felt that the man before her was the devil incarnate. One glare from him was enough to kill
somebody.

In less than a minute, Nathaniel’s hands were covered in red spots, and his heart rate started speeding
up uncontrollably.

It seemed that his allergic reaction this time was worse than the last.

He clenched his fist and gritted his teeth. Christina’

The first thing that Sebastian saw when he arrived at the hospital was Nathaniel receiving an IV drip. The
latter had an icy look on his face as if the world owed him a great debt, which made Sebastian gulp

in fear.

He began. “Mr. Hadley, Mrs. Hadley has not returned to the mansion, nor has she gone to the Steele
residence. We haven’t managed to locate her as of-

Before Sebastian could even finish his words, a wave of rage surged through Nathaniel, and he swept all
the glasses on the table to the ground.

The cacophony of glass shattering and water splashing duly expressed the turmoil of displeasure he was
feeling.

He growled. “Keep searching!

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.” Sebastian wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead and got to work immediately.



I can’t believe Mrs Hadley just up and left after poking the bear, leaving us to clean up her mess! What a
pitiful life I’m living!

While Nathaniel was suffering in the hospital. Christina was leisurely drawing a design draft in her
university dorm. She couldn’t help but admit that she felt rather happy about not seeing Nathaniel for the
past few days,

I’m sure a mighty CEO like him will lose interest in me soon enough.

With graduation just around the corner, Christina decided to devote all her energy to her major.

After studying fashion design for four years, she had a solid foundation.

Upon opening the webpage, she filled in her information and design drawings before sending them to the
industry’s most famous clothing company-Radiant Corporation-for an interview.

She reckoned a big company like that would take about a week to get back to her.

Since her job at the bar had fallen through, she had used her spare time and found a part-time job as a
saleswoman at a luxury store.

Glancing at the time, she quickly changed into her work uniform and prepared herself for work. As most
luxury stores have high requirements for their clerks, it was necessary for her to tie up her hair and put
on some makeup.

When Christina arrived at the store, the store manager briefed her on what she should and should not

1/4



Due to the fact that luxury stores provide high-end services, the place was never busy most of the time,
as they treated customers who were dressed normally with indifference.

Such behavior was considered the norm when it came to places like this.

“Ms. Sullivan, you haven’t been here for a long time. Why don’t I show you some of our newest
collection?” The enthusiastic voice of a salesgirl echoed throughout the store.

Christina, who was busy putting out items, turned her head and saw Xandra, who was dressed stylishly,

What a small world. I can’t believe I bumped into her here

Not wanting to draw any attention to herself, Christina whipped her head back and continued with her

task

Meanwhile, Xandra was perusing the goods in the store without much interest, feeling disappointed
about the lack of new items, when she noticed a slender figure in the corner just when she was abour to
leave.

Isn’t that Christina? What is she doing here? Wouldn’t she become a laughingstock if others found out
that the wife of the great Mr. Hadley is working as a saleswoman? It seems that Nathaniel doesn’t really
care about her, huh? He’s probably only putting on a show for Mrs. Hadley before. But I guess that
makes sense. After all, why would the heir of Hadley Corporation fall for a woman with no background
and no status?

With that thought in mind, Xandra walked toward Christina and said contemptuously, “Is this one of your
saleswomen?”

The store manager answered without delay, “She’s new here, so she’s not used to how things work here
yet. Why don’t larrange for a more experienced saleswoman to-”



Before the store manager could finish. Xandra cut her off, “I want her to assist me.”

The store manager looked conflicted when she heard that. She had no idea what relationship Christina
and Xandra shared and was worried that the former would offend the store’s esteemed customer.

Christina got to her feet calmly and said. “Feel free to tell me if you need anything, Ms. Sullivan

The two women gave each other an odd look before Xandra turned around and swept her gaze around
the store, trying to come up with a way to embarrass Christina.

Finally, her gaze fell on a row of limited-edition high heels. “I want to try on this row of heels. My feet size
is thirty-seven, so hurry up and get them for me.”

Since there were more than a dozen different types of heels on the rack, a salesperson beside Christina
tried to help her out but was discouraged from doing so after receiving a glare from Xandra.

Naturally, Christina knew that Xandra was purposely making things difficult for her. Nonetheless, she
didn’t say anything and simply turned around before making her way to the warehouse to look for the
heels. Because of how petite she was, she had to make several trips in order to get all the different types

of heels.

When Kandra saw how the woman was getting out of breath, a feeling of glee filled her heart and she felt
as if she had had her revenge. Subsequently, she kicked off her shoes arrogantly and ordered

coldly. “Help me try on each pair of these heels.”

Although it was the duty of a salesperson to help their customer try on shoes, those who were present
could clearly tell that Xandra was deliberately making things difficult for Christina.

What can a celebrity and a fresh graduate have to do with each other? Is it because Christina is
beautiful? I guess it’s true when they say it’s hard to grasp what makes a woman jealous.



Throughout the whole process, Christina didn’t make a single protest as she took the heels out for
Xandra to try on. It was as if her calm demeanor would persist no matter how much trouble the latter was
giving her.

With her hands on her waist and her head tilted to the side, Xandra struck a domineering pose that
demanded attention. She thought that the high heels were of excellent quality, especially how the smooth
surface was able to reflect the exquisite face that was more supple and beautiful than hers.

She raised her brows, and a look of disdain flitted across her eyes as she said. “Not bad. Let’s continue
trying them on

Christina breathed a sigh of relief discreetly. Just when she reached out to touch the tip of Xandra’s
shoes, the woman deliberately turned her ankle as if she was toying with her. The clear act of
provocation instantly turned the atmosphere glacial.

Christina raised her eyes, her gaze flashing with slight annoyance, It wasn’t the first time she had
encountered a difficult customer, and she knew that the more she cared, the more pleased Xandra would
be.

Needless to say, she wouldn’t let the woman get her way.

A faint sneer appeared on her delicate face before she forcefully grabbed Xandra’s ankle and took off

her shoes.

Xandra furrowed her brows. How dare this b*tch get rough with me?

Just when Christina was helping her put on the second pair of heels, Xandra mustered her strength and
stomped on the former’s fair and slender fingers.

The sharp, stabbing pain made Christina knit her brows as a dark look filled her eyes.



The more she tried to pull her fingers from the sole of Xandra’s shoe, the harder the latter stepped on
them. It was as if she was determined to crush them.

Hostility filled the air as the two women engaged in a silent battle.

Christina gave one last tug and freed her fingers, causing Xandra to lose her balance and almost fell. for
she didn’t expect the burst of strength from her.

Xandra’s face fell, and she fumed, “Are you trying to hurt me on purpose, Christina?”

Although everyone present could see that Xandra was the one giving Christina a hard time, there was
nothing they could do about it.

After all, Xandra was the store’s esteemed customer and an A-list celebrity. Even if she was in the
wrong, she still owned the moral high ground.

“I want Christina to kneel and apologize to me, or else I’ll make a complaint to your headquarters!”

Silence ensued, for nobody dared to utter a word. Even the store manager was hesitant about what she
should say.

Just then, a steady set of footfalls echoed from the entrance.
