A Crazy Night Novel

As expected of Nathaniel, he can always see through someone at a glance. Christina’s lips curved into a begrudging smile as she asked, “Are you someone worthy of my trust?”

“No one but me is worthy,” came his reply.

Observing how confident he appeared, she could not help thinking he sounded rather convincing.

She handed the flash drive she was holding to him. “This thing is very important to me. You must keep it carefully, okay?”

Her secretive manner made it seem as though she was entrusting him with some top–secret information. Staring at the flash drive in his hand, Nathaniel asked, “What’s in it?”

“Some data. Very important data. I’ll need it when I’m back in Hallsbay. Before I return, however, I’m entrusting it to you. If you lose it, you’ll have to be responsible,” she replied, forcefully transferring her burden to him.

He weighed the small item in his hand, then raised a hand and held her by her chin. “And what about the reward?”

“I’m a businessman. I don’t do anything that has no value to it. As he spoke, he passed the flash drive back to her.

She puffed out her cheeks in exasperation. “What reward do you want?”

“I want to sleep with you,” he replied while pointing at the large bed behind her.

That request… seems doable. Without hesitation, Christina handed the flash drive to him again. “Deal. You must keep it safe.”

With that, she finally felt the weight lift from her shoulders and turned to leave.
