Let Me Stay The Night

Christina’s gaze narrowed as she acquiesced, unable to find a reason to refuse. “All right, Grandma,” she replied.

“It’s getting late. Get some rest.” Azure gently patted the back of Christina’s hand.

With a nod, Christina made her way upstairs.

After a warm relaxing bath, she slipped into bed. The soft moonlight poured in through the window, casting a tranquil glow in the room. Soon, her eyes grew heavy, and she drifted off to a deep, restful sleep.

The next morning, the sun’s rays streamed through the windows, gently rousing Christina from her slumber.

She stretched and felt invigorated.

For the day’s outfit, she had picked out a stylish ensemble, opting for a blouse that elegantly emphasized her slender waist, paired with an over-the-knee skirt that showcased her fair calves. Completing the look with a cardigan, she made her way downstairs.

After a satisfying breakfast, she embarked on her journey to work.

A domineering aura filled the air as Christina entered her office.

Nathaniel exuded an aura of cold austerity as he sat on one of the chairs, commanding attention with his mere presence.

“You’re not the type to invite yourself without an invitation, Mr. Hadley,” Christina commented the moment she laid eyes on him.

Nathaniel cast her a lazy look. His dark eyes seemed capable of piercing her soul. “You should seize this opportunity to discuss the contract since I’m here,” he retorted.

Christina had no choice but to reschedule her morning meetings to accommodate the contract discussions with Nathaniel.

Throughout the meeting, Sebastian and Lina diligently documented the corrections.

As lunchtime approached, Nathaniel glanced at the time and proposed, “Let’s take a break. We’ll continue after lunch.”
