Let Me Stay The Night

Christina went into the house and saw Anya waiting for her inside with her arms folded.

She ignored her and walked in.

“Stop right there.”

Christina arched a brow. “What’s up?”

Anya’s gaze darkened. “The financial department told me you asked them for my recent reimbursement and contracts. What are you trying to do?”

Christina was momentarily stunned. She did not expect the news to reach her ears so soon. “It’s just a standard cross-checking procedure. Why are you so nervous?”

“My financial reports are all approved. Why do you need to cross-check them?” Anya asked. her eyes narrowed.

“In that case, why did you come to ask me about it? Are you guilty of something?” Christina scoffed.

Anya was bereft of words.

Seeing that she had nothing else to say, Christina walked away and went upstairs. Judging by Anya’s reaction, it’s obvious that she’s guilty of something. There must be something fishy going on with those financial reports.

Christina only put her guard down after she arrived in her room upstairs.

After taking a shower, she went to bed with her damp hair.

When she woke up the next morning, she felt her head spinning. Back then, Nathaniel would dry my hair for me before I went to bed.

Christina changed into a dress and walked out of the room. A housekeeper approached her and said, “Ms. Christina, Mr. Gibson is asking for you. He’s in the study.”
