Let Me Stay The Night

“I’m from the children’s psychology clinic. You’ve been here before. Do you remember?”

Christina’s doubts instantly dissolved when she heard that. “Yes. Is there something you need?”

“I’m calling you to make arrangements for your follow-up visit. May I know when you will be available?”

Christina knitted her brows as she contemplated for a while. “Sorry. We don’t intend to go for follow-ups.”

Camila was doing great so far, and the incident did not leave a particularly deep impression on her. Christina did not think her daughter needed to be examined again.

The words of rejection were like a spark that ignited Emilia’s fury. For a moment, she could not find the right words to respond.

As there was no response from the other end of the line, Christina thought the caller had understood her answer and so she hung up.

“Christina!” Emilia could not help but yell into the phone when she heard the call being hung up.

Right then, the receptionist returned from the restroom and witnessed the furious woman’s actions, “What are you doing?” she asked in puzzlement.

Emilia frantically returned the handset to its original position and picked up the mop beside her. “I was just calling home, but no one picked up.”

“This is to interact with the clients. You can’t use it so recklessly,” was all the receptionist said without thinking much about the situation.

Emilia nodded in response, but she was secretly memorizing Christina’s number. I must find a way to make her meet me!

Christina chatted with Rayne for a while before getting back to work.

She looked beautiful when she concentrated on her work.

Rayne couldn’t help but pull out her phone to take a picture of her superior and post it on the Twitter account of the studio.

Ding!

Not long after the picture was posted, someone privately messaged her to order a gown.

It was the first sale after Christina’s return.
