Let Me Stay The Night

Christina was amused by Anya’s anxious expression. “You were never punctual to the office, so what’s the big deal about waiting a while for me?”

Is she just anxious about finding out whether I’m carrying the flash drive?

Anya froze. “What are you talking about? I’ve never been late to work. I’m not someone without a sense of time like you.”

Was I making it that obvious? Does Christina suspect something? That would be unlikely. I was wearing a mask when I met with the motorcycle gang. I took every precaution, so there’s no way she would know.

Curling her lips into a smirk, Christina added to the mystery with her silence.

Soon, the engineers and their workers gathered at the scene.

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s survey the construction site.”

As the group entered the site, the engineers began to take measurements with their workers.

Christina, while flipping through the documents, came to the conclusion that the residential area would sell like hotcakes upon completion.

“After such an exhausting night, aren’t you tired of standing in your heels?” Nathaniel teased in a voice that was only audible to the two of them.

Does he not know that sound can travel far on this empty piece of land? Does he have no shame? How can he say something so embarrassing in front of this many people?

Christina gave him the side-eye. “I don’t need your concern. Just mind your own business.”

Nathaniel snorted in laughter. “I was just showing how much I care about you.”

Christina rolled her eyes at him before returning her attention to the document in her hand.

Soon, afternoon arrived after they worked through the entire morning.

Adopting an entirely different attitude, Anya held Christina’s hand and asked. “Christina, since this is my first time here, why don’t you show us around?”

She’s clearly up to something. Let’s see what it is,
