Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 53 Coffee

“Really?” An envious expression settled on their countenances.

After all, their fashion line was selling exceptionally well, so their earnings were already much higher than the typical designer’s. Thus, when Gina raised Christina’s share, the latter’s earnings would become several times higher than the other two.

“Yeah. I still have matters to attend to, so I’m leaving now,” said Christina before walking away.

Before she left work, Yosef approached her. “You haven’t left yet, Christina? How about we grab a coffee together?”

“Sure.”

They then went to the coffee shop at the bottom of the company building and sat across from each other before he put two color coordination books on the table.

Christina’s eyes glinted when she saw that. “These two books are the discontinued classic works of a color master! I can’t believe you have them!”

“I’m giving them to you because I’ve memorized everything inside.” Yosef pushed the books toward

her.

Gleefully, she accepted them. “Thank you! Let me pay for your coffee.”

“I can tell you’re passionate about designing. Initially, I had hoped we would have a chance to work together. Sadly, I’ll be joining an overseas branch company next week.”

“Eh? You’re getting transferred?” The news surprised her.

A dark look flashed past his eyes as he smiled. “Orders from the higher-up.”

Christina lamented his departure, not understanding why the higher-ups made such an arrangement.

Before they left, they promised to collaborate if an opportunity surfaced.

During the night, she changed into her comfortable pajamas and sprawled on the small bed.

She folded her legs and propped her chin up, making herself look adorable.

Just as she was absorbed in the color coordination book, her phone rang and interrupted her thoughts.
