Let Me Stay The Night

The early morning light poured into the room. Nathaniel woke up on the bed in the lounge. He had removed his suit jacket, and he was left with a thin shirt that accentuated his well–defined abdominal muscles. a

Nathaniel had a headache from the hangover. He sat up and shook his head gently.

Did I come here to rest when I was drunk last night?

He recalled making several phone calls to Christina, but she did not answer any of them. This made feel Nathaniel a sense of frustration.

He entered the bathroom to take a shower and changed into a new suit. Nathaniel combed his short hair back, revealing his handsome facial features. He walked out after tying his necktie.

The office had been tidied up, and the scent of air freshener lingered in the air.

Sebastian walked in with a file in one hand and breakfast in the other. He placed them on the desk. “Mr. Hadley, there is a meeting in fifteen minutes.”

Faintly nodding, Nathaniel sat and ate his breakfast in an elegant manner.

He felt much better after filling his stomach.

Sebastian was reporting on the work schedule for today when the sound of the door opening cut him off. “Mrs. Hadley…”

Christina walked in with a colder expression than usual. “I’ll be quick, so as not to waste your time.”

She walked up to Nathaniel and threw the printed document she was holding in front of him. “Sign it, Nathaniel!”

The words “Divorce Agreement” could be boldly seen in the brightly lit room.

Sebastian, who was standing at the side, saw it clearly.

Oh no! Mrs. Hadley is seeking a divorce early this morning. I’ll be the one suffering if Mr. Hadley is in a bad mood.

“Mr. Hadley, I shan’t keep you from your work then. I’ll… get back to work.” As his words fell, Sebastian could not wait to leave the office.

The office was so quiet that not even breathing could be heard once the door closed.

Nathaniel’s expression darkened, and he grimly fixed his eyes on her. “Christina, do you think it’s fun to repeatedly blackmail me with divorce?”
