A Crazy Night

Chapter 67

Chapter 67 The Same Banquet

Half an hour later, Coco put on the dress designed by Christina herself. Each layer of the dress was made of organza and pink tulle, and Christina even embroidered butterflies on the organza fabric.

Each one was vivid and lifelike. The high-waisted design accentuated Coco’s slender waist, and on her neck was a necklace designed by Christina as well.

With a fluffy hairstyle and sophisticated makeup, her whole look was complete.

Before going out, Coco asked the photographer to take pictures of her.

“Christina, this design is absolutely amazing! This is definitely the most beautiful gown I’ve ever worn!”

This was Christina’s first time creating a complete look for a celebrity. With her keen observation and experience, this ensemble was a perfect representation of her vision.

“Come on, I’ll take you to the venue and introduce you to some of my friends.”

Christina had her heart set on styling Coco only. She had never intended to socialize.

That doesn’t sound like a good idea. I’m not mentally prepared, and besides, I don’t even know those celebrities.”

Coco excitedly led her to the venue, saying, “This is a great opportunity! So many styling teams are eager to attend parties with big celebrities like this. We can take the chance to meet people and even bring in business for ourselves.”

Christina felt it inappropriate to argue with Coco in public, so she went along with Coco’s suggestion and decided to just go through the motions.

The banquet hall was vast, with lights shining in all directions, and the people around were dressed in magnificent attire.

Christina recognized that many female celebrities were wearing high-end designer dresses, and their outfits were all very exquisite.

As soon as Coco appeared, she attracted quite a bit of attention.

Several reporters at the scene took many photos of her and complimented her on becoming more beautiful, which instantly attracted envious glances from those around her.

Seeing that Coco had been surrounded by the crowd, Christina walked away. She didn’t really enjoy socializing and didn’t know what to say to these celebrities.

“Coco, what brand is this outfit? It looks great.”

“You seem quite different today. You look much more sophisticated than usual.”

Coco has a cat-like face, with a slightly short lower jaw, almond eyes, and a tall nose. A woman like her

tended to look seductive.

And that day, her makeup and attire gave off a fairy-like and gentle vibe.

“All thanks to my stylist, Christina Steele, whom I’d like to introduce to you all.”

Coco pulled Christina, who was drinking water on the side, over to her.

“Are you Coco’s stylist, the one who graduated from that prestigious school?”

“Which big celebrities have you styled before?”

“By the way, what’s the price of the dress you designed?”

Christina was caught off guard by the question. For celebrities, of course, the more high-end and luxurious items they have, the higher their value and status will be.

That’s why they pay special attention to which brand they wear and the ability of the stylist they hire.

“I graduated from a domestic design college, and this is my first time styling a celebrity. The price of the evening gown is less than fifty thousand.”

After hearing Christina’s answer, the originally enthusiastic crowd suddenly felt uninterested.

“Coco, I heard you’ve been doing well lately. How did you end up working with this unknown designer?”

“Coco, I know quite a few famous stylists. Would you like me to introduce you to some of them?”

Coco’s face stiffened slightly. “Please don’t talk about my stylist like that. Christina’s designs are really good.”

As soon as her words fell, a burst of laughter could be heard from the surroundings.

“It’s quite nice, but unfortunately, it’s not a brand.”

“You, as a designer, shouldn’t even be present at an event like this,” the female celebrity sneered, her cold gaze falling on Christina.

Another person chimed in, “It lowers the class of the event.”

Each sentence spoken by the individuals sounded particularly harsh to Christina’s ears.

“Christina, I’m sorry. I didn’t know they would say things like that.” Coco was on the verge of tears. She just wanted to help Christina expand her social circle. They don’t know what they’re missing. From now on, you will style me exclusively, making me look stunning and leaving them green with envy.”

Christina was amused. “It’s all right. I’ll go first. You have fun.”

“All right, then. Let’s keep in touch.” Coco felt embarrassed to insist further.

As Christina turned to put down her cup, she suddenly tripped on something and fell to the ground

with a loud thud.

Everyone’s gaze simultaneously turned in the same direction.

When Christina fell, she knocked over all the champagne on the table. The crystal glasses shattered on the floor, and the golden liquid spilled all over her.

The scene was a complete mess, with chaos and disorder everywhere.

It is embarrassing to make a fool of oneself at a banquet like this.

The worst part was that Christina was surrounded by broken glass. No one dared to approach her as they simply looked on.

Christina’s skirt was wet, and her hair was covered in droplets of wine. She looked like a naive child who had suddenly taken a fall, somewhat at a loss for what to do.

“Isn’t this that unknown designer?”

“Look at her wearing such cheap clothes. I wonder if she can even afford the cost of the champagne.”

“Such people seem to have no other use other than knowing how to cause a disturbance.” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Christina’s brow furrowed slightly as she brushed off the shattered glass from her body and stood up.

She just wanted to leave quickly, but as she looked at the ground ahead that was covered in shattered. glass, she hesitated.

Walking out like this was no less terrifying than treading on a path of burning coals. Even a tiny piece of glass could easily wound her.

If I don’t leave, they’ll just keep laughing at me.

Christina clenched her fists, ready to give it her all when a tall figure pushed through the crowd and walked toward her.

The glass beneath his feet seemed like insignificant dust in the man’s eyes, as he strode forward with increasing speed, much like a valiant prince.

When the tall figure appeared in front of her, Christina was stunned.

“Nathaniel? What are you doing here?”

At that moment, Christina remembered that Nathaniel had asked her to accompany him to a banquet last night.

Nathaniel immediately took off his coat and draped it over her. “Don’t catch a cold.”

A sandalwood scent wafted over, covering her drenched slender shoulders. Then, she felt light at her feet, and her entire body was lifted into the air.

Christina lowered her head and her face turned red. “Nathaniel, there are so many people here.”

The surrounding gazes pierced her eyes like countless flashing lights.

“What does it matter?”

Nathaniel held her tightly in his arms, ignoring the gazes of others. He covered her body with his coat before walking out.

In the quiet space, one could hear the sound of leather shoes crushing glass.

Everyone held their breath, unable to believe the scene unfolding before their eyes.

“What? This can’t be possible! Mr. Hadley took that girl away?”

“Rumor has it that Mr. Hadley has mysophobia, right? That woman is soaking wet and reeks of alcohol. How could Mr. Hadley possibly touch her?”

“Could it be that she deliberately knocked over the table earlier to gain Mr. Hadley’s sympathy?”

“That must be it.”

“Generally, men tend to be more sympathetic. Otherwise, why didn’t she run away immediately when she broke the glass? Why did she have to wait for Mr. Hadley to show up?”

“This woman has some skills.”
