Chapter 42 Let Me Stay The Night

There was, however, a hint of exhaustion on his handsome face, which was probably the result of his overworking.

Christina made her way over and asked worriedly, “Are you tired? Let’s go home, okay?”

That was when Gina called and urged her to head over to the barbecue place. As her design was the spotlight of the fashion show, everyone wanted to have a chat with her about it.
