A Crazy Night Novel

Christina was amused by Anya’s anxious expression. “You were never punctual to the office, so what’s the big deal about waiting a while for me?”

Is she just anxious about finding out whether I’m carrying the flash drive?

Anya froze. “What are you talking about? I’ve never been late to work. I’m not someone without a sense of time like you.”

Nathaniel snorted in laughter. “I was just showing how much I care about you.”

Christina rolled her eyes at him before returning her attention to the document in her hand.
