Let Me Stay The Night

If Christina didn’t know about the heinous things Yerck had done, she might’ve been misled by that hypocritical man before her, thinking he was a gentleman.

Seeing Christina approaching, the few people he was talking to dispersed to go about their business.

“I waited a long time for you yesterday.” Yerek lifted his hand and twirled a lock of her hair with his fingertips, gazing intently at her as he spoke.

Christina unceremoniously swatted away his hand. She was overwhelmed by the urge to purchase a bottle of disinfectant to sanitize the hair he had touched.

“What matter do you have in mind? We can talk about it now too.” She was curious about what he had to discuss but didn’t want him to fathom her intention.

Instead of coming clean, he uttered profoundly, “Nathaniel is keeping you by his side because you’re valuable to him, and he wishes to use you. You two aren’t meant to be together.”

Christina’s gaze darkened as she remained rooted to her spot.

Yerek moved a little closer to her. “We are supposed to be a couple.”

Hearing that, Christina scoffed, “You can give that idea up. We walk different paths.”

She strode into the shop to handle the arrangement of the displays.

By the time she was done with work, it was already late.

The shop’s official opening was set for Saturday.

Upon returning to her office, Christina and Rayne verified the information about the models for the fashion show, checking several times before finally implementing it.

After finishing all the tasks, she sat in front of her computer to rest. Suddenly, a piece of financial news. popped up on her screen.

A new plot of land Nathaniel invested in had encountered a development plan-related issue, leading to a dispute and a delay in construction. The resumption of work had to depend on the situation.

A professional analyst estimated that a single day of delay could cost Hadley Corporation millions, and the longer the delay, the greater the loss.

After reading the news, Christina was overwrought. She hastily left the room and went to the CEO’s office.
