Chapter 128 What Is Going On
Francis swept his gaze across them before fixing his stare on Christina. He questioned, “What’s going
on?”
Gwyneth froze momentarily, wondering if she had misheard Francis.
What? I can’t believe that Francis believes in Christina’s words instead of mine. Isn’t she just a stylist?
Besides, I’ve never heard of her in this field before. I was merely trying to stir up trouble by snatching
Coco’s stylist. I won’t let her go easily if she deliberately says something to Francis!
Christina’s gaze flickered as she exchanged glances with Francis. At that moment, she looked like she
knew Francis’ intention.
She uttered nonchalantly. “It’s nothing big. Gwyneth’s stylist is not here yet, so she wanted my help.
However, I can’t leave now,”
“I see,” uttered Francis. Turning to gaze at the assistant, he ordered, “Hurry up and bring Gwyneth to do
her makeup.”
“Yes, got it.” The assistant nodded, approached Gwyneth, and pulled her lightly. “Ms. Lawson, let’s get to
work. Our schedule is pretty full today.”
Meanwhile, Gwyneth knew that Christina was giving her an out by doing so. Things would probably turn
south if she refused to cooperate.
Judging from how Francis immediately turned to Christina to ask her take on what happened, he’s clearly
on her side.
With that thought in mind, Gwyneth felt uneasy. Knowing that she shouldn’t be kicking up a fuss about
that, Gwyneth mustered every ounce of willpower to keep her feelings suppressed and walked away.
It took Coco quite a while to register what she had just heard.
Is that it? What’s happening? Gwyneth isn’t someone who would give in just like that.
“Let’s go! We have to do the makeup. What are you waiting for?” Christina pulled Coco and left.
The drama died down unexpectedly. After they were done with the makeup, Coco followed the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtphotographer for a shoot.
Meanwhile, Christina tidied her makeup tools at the dressing table and prepared the next outfit.
It was at that moment a dark reflection appeared in the bright mirror. Francis walked up to her silently
and uttered, “You did a great job. I think that you have the potential to become a manager. Do you want
to consider it?”
After what had happened a while ago, Christina rolled her eyes at him and replied. “There’s no need for
that. Stop pushing the responsibility on me next time. Although I’m not working for your company, it
would affect my career if I offend people like that.”
A hint of a smile appeared on Francis’ lips. She’s smarter than I thought. It didn’t matter which side I
picked in a situation like that. There would be an aggrieved party anyway. That was why I asked
Christina for help. She didn’t want to find trouble and was smart enough to cooperate with me after
realizing what I wanted. All things considered, everyone had a happy ending. Besides that, Gwyneth
won’t make things difficult for Coco again in the

future too.

Francis sat on the couch at the back, a wide smile on his face. “I owe you a favor. I’ll add another five
percent to your fees.”
“I’m satisfied with this method of repayment.” Now that Christina needed money, she wouldn’t reject the
offer.
Christina turned around to look at him. “The suit is done. Do you want to try it?”
Renee had recently been participating in a variety show. She was probably too busy to reply to her text
messages and merely mentioned that she was satisfied with the design drawing. Thus, she asked
Christina to proceed with tailoring the clothes.
Subsequently, Christina took some time out of her schedule to make the clothes. Renee didn’t have the
time to try hers on yet. Hence, Christina planned to deal with Francis first.
Standing up, Francis responded, “Okay, pass the suit to me.”
Christina grabbed the suit from a garment bag beside her. After stacking the clothes up neatly, she
passed them to Francis.
There was a changing room there. After taking the suit, Francis went into the room to get changed.
After some time, Francis came out in a white shirt. Christina had chosen a stand-up collar for it, which
was a design suitable for weddings or grand events. By matching the dress shirt with a black bow tie, it
lent a mysterious but charming aura to Francis.
Meanwhile, Christina had also elaborately tailored the waist of the suit. Once he buttoned the suit,
Francis could flaunt his perfect slim figure underneath.
The length of the trousers was just right, and when paired with a pair of leather shoes, the overall result
was that of a flawless wedding suit.
Christina answered with satisfaction, “It fits you amazingly. I think there’s no need for any alteration,
right?”
Slightly lifting his chin, Francis tilted his head, showing his good-looking features. “Do I look handsome?”
There was no doubt that he was handsome. Back when he first started out, he gained popularity with his
personable appearance. Other than possessing good looks, he was talented in acting and singing as
well. He was a high-profile celebrity back then, and the paparazzi would follow him all day to take
pictures of him to sell to the media. Needless to say, his good looks were widely acknowledged by the
public. Later, Francis set up his own studio and started taking lesser jobs. Because of that, it was not
common to spot him in the media nowadays.
Christina’s expression grew awkward as he looked at her. “Ask yourself. I think you know yourself
better”
“It’s so difficult to hear a word of compliment from you.” Francis shoved his hand into his pocket and
suddenly frowned slightly. “Is there something wrong with the shirt? I feel something poking me.”
Hearing that, Christina walked over in confusion. How is that possible? I used the best materials to make
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthis.
Really? Where?”
As Francis lifted his suit, the pleasant scent of his cologne wafted across her nose. “Touch the inside of
this side. I think there’s a needle poking me.”
Christina focused all her attention on the shirt. It was not her habit to be that careless to leave a needle
on the shirt. As she was about to place her hand on the shirt, she abruptly paused.
Lifting her head to look at Francis, she saw the wicked smile on his face and immediately realized that
she had been fooled.
She retrieved her hand and said furiously, “Judging from how shameless you are, I think your skin is too
thick for a needle to poke through. Can you stop flirting around? You’re getting married soon.”
I wonder if Renee knows he is this flirtatious? Although Nathaniel is cold and aloof, I much prefer him.
Nathaniel is definitely more likable!
Francis had been sorely tempted to grab Christina into his embrace earlier. Ah! No matter what she
does, she looks so adorable! However, she seems to have misunderstood me. Should I make it clear to
her?
Francis asked abruptly, “Would you feel better if I’m not getting married?”
“No. I wouldn’t bother talking to you if you were not Renee’s fiancé.” Christina shot him a glare.
Christina only got in touch with Francis because of Renee. After all, Nathaniel would be unhappy if she
had too much interaction with another man.
Francis’s face fell as a dark glint flitted across his eyes. He kept mum for a moment before saying,
“Could you please make another suit according to these measurements?”
“Huh? Two sets?” Christina reconfirmed. Did I hear it right? Why would he make two similar suits?
“Yes. I will pay you accordingly.”
As soon as he said that, Francis turned around to take off the suit and handed it to Christina. “Pass the
suits to Renee after you’re done.”
Christina took over the suit and responded, “Okay.”
She hesitated for a brief moment before asking, “Do you know any celebrities who are looking for
custom-made dresses? I have excellent craftsmanship, and I’m able to deliver fast. Nevertheless, I
charge slightly higher than the other tailors.”
