Let Me Stay The Night

Christina dragged herself near the window, getting as far away from him as possible.

After throwing her a glance, Nathaniel picked up his tablet and started working.

Soon, they arrived at Hadley Corporation, and the two took the elevator to the CEO’s office.

“Have a seat. Let me wrap up some work first. We’ll head to the construction site after that.” Nathaniel walked to his desk and sat down. A pile of documents was already waiting for him there.

Once Christina took her seat, an assistant placed a cup of coffee and exquisite-looking pastries on the coffee table. “Enjoy the food, Mrs. Hadley.”

It has been days since I returned, yet he has never mentioned anything about work. He must be using it as an excuse to keep me by his side because he’s worried I might go and meet Sheridan. What difference does this make from being monitored?

Meanwhile, when the robbers who stole Christina’s handbag arrived at the agreed place, they took off their helmets.

“We got what you wanted. Now, pay up. The man whipped out his phone and presented a QR code to the woman in front of him.

After she took the handbag from them. Anya transferred the payment. “It’s done. Remember, you never saw me.”

With that said, she turned and left.

Anya opened the handbag and rummaged through it, yet she failed to find the item she wanted.

How can this be? I clearly saw Sheridan give Christina the flash drive! Since it’s not in her handbag, it can only be on her, right?

The furious Anya dumped Christina’s handbag into the garbage bin. I need to find a way to retrieve the flash drive as soon as possible.

Christina’s phone rang shortly after she sat down.

“Our project with Hadley Corporation is about to start, right? Since I’m the assistant manager, I’ll be joining the site visit as well. I’m already on my way from Hallsbay, so I’ll see you there.”

At that moment, Anya was in the hotel room, gazing out languidly at the city skyline.

Upon hearing that, Christina furrowed her brows.
