Let Me Stay The Night

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 Shunning Christina

Christina left work in a cheerful mood and broke the news to Evelyn that her design had been selected by the company.

Evelyn was overjoyed, and she hurried into the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes to celebrate.

Christina went into her bedroom, kicked off her slippers, and sprawled on the bed to scroll through her phone when she received an international call.

A hypnotic male voice said, “Have you gotten off work?”

Christina stilled for a moment before returning. “Nathaniel?”

The hoarseness in his voice lent credence to how busy he had been for the past few days, but the fact that she didn’t recognize his voice darkened his mood.

He gave a low hum, and both of them fell silent. “Did anyone deliberately approach you in my absence?”

Christina’s brows drew together as she did not understand what he was implying.

“No,” she answered honestly.

Nathaniel said unemotionally. “Okay, I’m hanging up now.”

Before he disconnected, she heard someone in the background shouting about a meeting starting, as if he had carved out time from his hectic schedule to give her a call before resuming work.

Christina stared at the unfamiliar number and hesitated for a moment before saving it to her contacts.

Evelyn called her out for dinner a while later.

After a good night’s rest, Christina changed into a petite suit and went to work the next morning-

She felt eyes boring into her with contempt the moment she walked into the office as if she was everyone’s common enemy.

Why the drastic change after one night?

Christina felt like an alien in everyone’s eyes, a feeling that left a sour taste in her mouth.
