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.

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.”
