Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 221 I Am Not Selling

It had been a long time since Christina went shopping. Since it was also rare for her to go out with Bailey, her mood

lifted considerably.

No matter where she went, the people around her would subconsciously walk away.

When Christina turned around, she discovered that Nathaniel was following her with a team of bodyguards. No

wonder the customers around us keep evading us!

That huge group of intimidating–looking people looked really frightening.

Christina turned her head around, her face adorably innocent. “Nathaniel, why don’t you go home first? I’ll look for

you after I’m done shopping.”

It was too pressurizing to have all those people walking behind her.

Observing that it had been some time since she was in such a good mood, Nathaniel caressed her head

gently. “Okay. Come look for me at Hadley Corporation after you’re done shopping.

Christina nodded obediently and agreed.

After leaving two bodyguards behind, Nathaniel left with the others.

Bailey raised her hand and blocked Christina’s eyes. “Mr. Hadley’s already so far away. Why are you still staring at

him?”

Revealing a shy smile, Christina pulled Bailey into an accessories shop.

It was a store exclusively selling goods of a luxurious brand. A salesperson stepped forward and asked her what she

wanted to buy.

After inspecting everything carefully, Christina chose a pink crystal bracelet and passed it over. “Pack this necklace

up for me.”

Just when the salesperson was about to take it, a hand suddenly emerged and snatched the bracelet away.

Emilia gazed at it and declared gleefully, “This bracelet looks good. I’m getting this!”

Silence immediately descended upon the place. When Christina’s and Emilia’s gazes met, there was a look of anger

in their

eyes.

Having gotten herself a rich man, Emilia had been shopping everywhere with her gold card.

When she coincidentally bumped into Christina at the shopping mall, hatred surged within her, and she decided that

she should vent her anger properly this time.

Christina raised her eyebrows. “Didn’t your mom teach you to respect whoever came first?”

At the mention of Miranda, Emilia’s face contorted in fury. It’s all Christina’s fault that Mom and Dad are in the

midst of divorcing. He doesn’t even allow us to live in the Steele residence! She’s to be blamed for all the

misfortunes that the Steele family has experienced.

“My mom has only taught me to fight with all my might for what I like,” replied Emilia with a cold snort, gripping the

bracelet tightly.

She thought the bracelet was quite ordinary, but she wanted to snatch anything that Christina liked.

Before Christina could say anything. Bailey could not hold herself back anymore. Stepping forward and scrutinizing

Emilia disdainfully, she chuckled coldly. “A turtle can only survive in the water no matter what. It can never grow to

anything significant.”

“Who are you to act so high and mighty in front of me?” roared Emilia, widening her eyes.

Christina stared at her, thinking that she looked just like a crazy woman who would start a fight at the drop. of a pin.

Even though Miranda spent so much money to nurture her daughter, Emilia ended up being so uncultured. How

hilarious!

At that thought, Christina pulled Bailey toward her. “Forget it. Let’s ask the salesperson to get another. bracelet.”

Seeing that Christina was unable to snatch the bracelet from her, Emilia smirked in delight.

If you want to compete with me, you should see if you’re capable enough first!

At that moment, the salesperson whispered, “I’m sorry, but the bracelet is a limited edition. There’s only one in the

shop.”

Emilia passed the bracelet over and commanded, “Pack it up for me now!”

“Why should we give it to you? Christina set her sights on it first!” Bailey was still reluctant to concede to Emilia.

She just could not get used to how annoyingly gleeful Emilia was.

Seeing the stalemate that both sides were in, the salesperson did not dare to pack the bracelet, afraid that she

would be implicated in their argument.

Emilia took out her phone and threatened the salesperson, “I know the shop manager. If you have the guts to not

sell it to me, I’ll make him fire you instantly!”

The salesperson shot a conflicted look at Christina. “I’m sorry.” Although she was unwilling to, it was important for

her to secure her job.

Emilia sauntered to the counter victoriously, whipped out her gold card, and passed it over.

At that moment, the salesperson received a call. A minute later, she said solemnly, “I’m sorry, ma’am. My boss just

called and said that he won’t be selling the bracelet.”

An ugly expression crossed Emilia’s face before a grin spread across her cheeks. “Fine! Don’t sell it to both of us,

then!”

If she could not get her hands on it, Christina must not as well.

Christina felt disappointed because she had intended to give the bracelet to someone else as a present.

Unexpectedly, the salesperson placed the bracelet into an exquisite box and passed it to Christina. “My boss said

that this bracelet is a gift for you.”

Christina was stunned.

What? A gift for me?

“But I don’t know your boss. Are you mistaken?” clarified Christina. A bracelet from such a luxurious brand would

certainly cost a pretty penny. If the salesperson made a mistake, it would cost her a few months of her salary.

Emilia’s face flushed red as she widened her eyes in anger. She suspected that the salesperson was deliberately

refusing to sell it to her.

Grabbing the salesperson’s hair, she started to curse, “You shameless b*tch! Are you not selling it to me on

purpose? I’m going to complain about you. Kneel and apologize to me now!”

Pulled by the ends of her hair, the salesperson begged for mercy, “I really didn’t! My boss called and said to give it

to Ms. Christina! If you don’t believe me, you can call him yourself.”

The boss actually knows Christina’s name. Looks like the bracelet is really for her.

All rationality left Emilia’s body, for she felt like her dignity had just been trampled on the ground. A humiliated

expression appeared on her face.

Channeling her anger to the salesperson, she raised her hand for a slap. “It’s all your fault. Go back home. if you

don’t know how to be a salesperson!”

When Emilia’s hand was raised mid–air, a forceful grip stopped her.

Christina’s eyes glinted coldly. “She already said that she’s not selling it to you. Get lost now!”

She then shoved Emilia out of the store. The thing that she could not bear to watch the most was people bullying

others on the basis of their power.

Having lost the upper hand, Emilia glared at her stepsister with bloodshot eyes. Despite the hatred engulfing her,

she could not do anything to Christina.

Before she left, she spat viciously, “Remember this, Christina!”

On the other hand, Christina ignored her. It was useless to waste any more words on people like Emilia.

Turning around, she handed the salesperson the money for the bracelet. “I don’t know your boss. Since I’m buying

this bracelet for someone else anyway, you should keep the money.”

The salesperson was at a loss for what to do. Since her boss had personally instructed her to give the bracelet to

Christina, she dared not accept the money so casually.

Sensing the salesperson’s hesitation, Bailey could not help but interrupt, “Just take it. I’ll inform my brother later.”

Christina was shocked. “Your brother owns this shop?”

No wonder the boss knows my name! Bailey has been manipulating the events all along!

Although they had known each other for a long time, Christina only had a basic understanding of Bailey’s

background.

That brand, which had branches all over the nation, was worth tens of millions on the market. If her brother had

such a strong background, she could deduce that Bailey’s family was not that simple too.

“I know a place that has really yummy cake. Should we try it out?” Bailey held Christina’s hand and left the shop.

Having bought too many things that day, Christina handed her shopping bags to one of the bodyguards and asked

him to bring them back to Scenic Garden Manor.

The two women left on a car afterward.
