Let Me Stay The Night

That night, Christina arrived on schedule. She sensed the mansion’s busy and boisterous vibe as soon as she stepped out of the automobile. There, she noticed many elegantly dressed folks chatting with wine glasses in their hands among the loud music

Underneath the light. Christina saw a familiar face.

The other person spotted her, too, and they walked over. “It’s been a while, Christina”

“Ms. Tanner, you’re right. It’s been a long time.” Christina grinned while her eyes gleamed. They gave one another a brief embrace before pulling away.

Gina scrutinized Christina. “I couldn’t even tell you were the same person-you look so different from before!”

“The same goes for you. You have become more feminine and dignified.” They got engrossed in their conversation, for they had not seen each other since Christina left Radiant Corporation.

Yerek knew it was his time to take his leave. “All right. I’ll excuse myself then.”

The women opened up more after the third party was gone. “Ms. Tanner, what’s your relationship with Yerek? Do you know what he is like?”

Christina was clearly hinting at something. She alluded to the information that Yerek’s reputation was poor due to widespread discussion of his cruelty and ruthlessness.
