Let Me Stay The Night

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hadley. It’s all my fault. I was blinded by jealousy and had evil thoughts. Please forgive me just this once-”

Before Suzanne could finish her sentence, the conference room door was pushed open.

“We are the police. You’re suspected of intentionally damaging the interests of Hadley Corporation. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

No matter how Suzanne pleaded, Nathaniel stood rooted to the spot expressionlessly like a perfectly sculpted ice statue, unmoved by her outburst.

Sadly, among the executives present, no one dared to intercede for her.

“The meeting is adjourned.”

With that. Nathaniel rose to his feet, held Christina’s hand, and made his way out of the room.

The entire office plunged into silence as soon as the door was shut.

“How did you manage to get that video?” Christina asked curiously.

Did he know beforehand that I have made a mistake? That’s why he did all this to help me? If that’s the case, Nathaniel is more ruthless than Suzanne.

“It was given to me by the peeps from the advertising company because they’re worried about offending Hadley Corporation.”

Nathaniel looked down and was met by the woman’s dubious gaze. “The company works with them on a dozen projects throughout the year. Stepping on my toes will mean burning their own bridges.”

His explanation seemed reasonable and logical. Clearly, nobody would want to spoil the ship for a ha’porth of tar.

Christina nodded. In retrospect, she was still a touch fearful upon recalling what happened earlier.

“Don’t overthink things. It’s not your fault. Anyone who notices an error on the document shouldn’t ignore it.” Nathaniel massaged her forehead gently.

“I should bear half the responsibility for this matter, so please don’t hold her accountable.” Christina grabbed his hand instinctively as she spoke, her eyes gleaming.

“I can’t let this slide. At most, I’ll forgive her and reduce her punishment, but she should be removed from her position,” said Nathaniel.

“I don’t think I can handle your job well. Why don’t you
