Let Me Stay The Night

Silence ensued.

Christina furrowed her brows in frustration, and she was no longer interested in talking to him.

Yerek grabbed her wrist and uttered in a deep voice, “If you’re still angry at me for what happened at the clothing factory, I can pay you back all the money. If I do that, will you hate me less?”

Christina pulled her hand away from his grip and glared at him. “You can pay me back the money, but how about the life you owe me?”

“What are you on about? I owe you some money, and that’s it. But you want me to give my life to you?” Yerek was incredulous.

He didn’t know what Christina was talking about.

Christina said sarcastically, “Why, it didn’t take you long to forget about the evil act that you had committed.”

“Burn your house down? What nonsense are you talking about?” Yerek knitted his brows. Why is she saying that I burned her house down?
