A Crazy Night Novel

That news struck Christina like a bolt from the blue and left her feeling dizzy for a good few seconds. Holding her forehead, she asked in confusion, “The renovation work at the studio is almost complete, right? How did it catch fire all of a sudden?”

Rayne was close to tears at that point. “I don’t know! Our studio is the only one that caught fire in the entire building! The security guards have already filed a police report. Could you come over and have a look, Christina?”

The studio had caught fire twice in a row, so Rayne was starting to question if her bad luck was affecting the studio.

“Be careful, and don’t do anything rash. I’ll come over so just wait for me,” Christina said before hanging up the phone and rushing upstairs to get changed.

“What happened, Christina? Where are you going?” Nathaniel stepped out of the kitchen when he heard the commotion.

“A fire broke out at the studio, so I’m heading over to check on things!” Christina exclaimed anxiously.

Nathaniel grabbed her by the hand. “It’s too dangerous there, and there’s nothing you can do to help anyway. I’ll send someone over to have a look, so you just stay right here.”

Christina gave it some thought and nodded. “All right, then. Hurry up and send someone over to find out what’s going on. Rayne says…

She took a deep breath before continuing. “Rayne says there might be casualties in this fire.”

“Nothing is certain until we have confirmation, so please try to stay calm. I’ll go make the call right away) the man said while stepping aside to make a phone call Christina kept her gaze fixated on him the entire time.

A few minutes later, he returned to her side and told her, “Sebastian and Victoria happen to be nearby, so they’re already on their way to the studio. They’ll drop by Scenic Garden Manor later this evening. By the way, dinner is almost ready. I know you don’t really have much of an appetite, but you have to eat something, okay?”

Christina nodded absentmindedly and sent Rayne a text before sitting down at the dining table.
