Let Me Stay The Night

A tall figure walked in right after the waiter served her coffee.

Christina waved at him, and Sheridan walked over, smiling slightly.

It was obvious he had rushed all the way over.

“Christina, I think Anya knows you’re investigating her accounts,” Sheridan whispered.

“Really? That’s fast.” Christina was shocked to hear that. She had been very careful while dealing with this issue, after all. Did Yerek say something to her?

“Anya came looking for me when I returned one day, trying to find out if I’m helping you take care of the accounts. Don’t worry. I didn’t say anything. I sent the accounts over immediately when I was done with them.”

Christina was extremely grateful. Taking the flash drive the man had handed her, shesaid, “Thank you, Sheridan. I can’t thank you enough”

“Don’t thank me if you see me as your friend. Perhaps there will come a day when you can help me,” Sheridan answered with a smile.

Christina nodded as she kept the flash drive. “Send me the bill once you’re back. You’d better not give me a discount. Oh, and make sure you include your travel expenses.”

“It won’t be cheap since 1, the boss, drove to you personally,” he teased.

Christina burst out laughing at that. “Of course.” She stared out the window and saw it was almost evening. soon. “Why don’t you take a rest here tonight? I’ll book a room for you”

“Sure. The hotel I stayed at was not bad. I’ve already booked a room with them,” Sheridan said. He didn’t want to put Christina in a difficult spot. It could easily be misinterpreted if other people learned she had booked a room for him under her name.

Another wave of gratefulness washed over Christina. Sheridan was always putting others before himself. She didn’t feel burdened when she was with him.

They paid for their coffee and left the cafe. They had just stepped out when a motorbike drove toward Christina. It moved fast, and in the blink of an eye, the bike appeared before Christina.
