Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 34 Preferential Treatment

Before Christina could finish her words, Anna interrupted. “Okay. I’ll be Christina’s assistant. As long as we finish the job, it doesn’t matter who’s in charge.”

Zachary nodded in satisfaction. Yes. That’s the way it should be. We’re a company, and teamwork is what’s most important.

“That’s all, then. You guys can leave now,” he ordered, eyes roaming over Christina’s exquisite little face.

Xandra felt her brows twitch as she clenched her fists tightly, Christina Steele’s a viren! I can’t believe she’s seducing every man in her sight. According to the housekeepers I bribed at Scenic Garden Manor. Christina has already moved out… That must mean her relationship with Nathaniel has turned sour! Otherwise, why would she live elsewhere instead of in a sprawling mansion?

Just then, Xandra noticed a custom-made luxury watch on Christina’s wrist.

Ha. I know what Christina’s family background is like. There’s no way she can afford such an expensive watch. One of those men she seduced must’ve bought it for her.

Soon, Christina left the conference room with Anna.

Whether Xandra had purposefully intended for it or not, her actions would undeniably cause Christina to attract the wrath of her colleagues. How could tongues not wag when a newly hired intern shot up the ranks overnight to become a chief designer?

“Nathaniel has returned from his work trip, hasn’t he? Shall we meet for dinner tonight?” Xandra asked, grinning from ear to ear whenever she talked about Nathaniel.

“Sure, I’ll call him,” Zachary said before dialing the latter’s number and getting a reply in less than ten seconds. “Okay. He’s down for it.”

Xandra’s face immediately lit up as she called out to Christina. “I want to see the design first thing tomorrow morning. Would that be all right with you?”

It was no easy feat to complete a design sketch in a short amount of time, and Anna knew that well.

However, just as she was about to speak up for Christina, the latter stopped her.

Oh, I know what Xandra’s playing at. She’s having dinner with Nathaniel tonight and doesn’t want me to interfere. That’s why she’s making things difficult for me.

“Sure,” Christina answered before strutting out of the room and closing the door behind her.
