Let Me Stay The Night

Rayne rejected Christina’s suggestion decisively. “Since Anthea is targeting you, there is no way I’ll let you have interactions with any of them. Seeing that Anthea is friends with Elizabeth is enough to prove that she’s not a good person either. You’re pregnant right now. If they harbor bad intentions and something happens to you, I’ll never be able to forgive myself for the rest of my life.”

She mulled it over and added, “Christina, in the worst–case scenario, let’s just cancel the order. They deliberately fooled our newbie into clinching the contract, anyway. They’re obviously the unreasonable ones.”

After some contemplation, Christina insisted on the original plan. “Maybe they’re waiting for us to breach the agreement first? In any case, there are no grudges between Anthea and me. She’s probably just a pawn that’s being taken advantage of. I’ll bring someone along with me. After all, she is a public figure and has an image and reputation to maintain. I doubt she’ll dare do anything to me openly.”

Christina supposed she could deal with an uninvited troublemaker without asking Nathaniel for help. As long as my studio is still open for business. I’ll have to learn to deal with challenges and hardships.

“Why don’t I go with you? I know more about this deal than you do. It won’t be difficult for me to handle their unreasonable demands,” suggested Rayne.

Without hesitation, Christina rejected her offer. “I’ve already troubled you to help me manage this studio. This matter happened because of me, after all. Let me resolve it. I’m only pregnant, and won’t be giving birth so soon. I’m not that fragile.”

Rayne was never pretentious toward Christina; instead, she was very honest and straightforward with her words. “Well, you’ve paid me such a high salary. I’m more than willing to become your diligent workhorse, Haha…”

The joyous atmosphere Rayne created successfully shifted Christina’s mind from the matter. The two continued chatting until Sebastian interrupted them with a doorknock.

“Mrs. Hadley, Mr. Hadley is still in a meeting. I’m afraid it’ll only end in the evening. Then, he has an important social event to attend in the evening. He’s tied up but is worried that you’ll wait too long, so he wants me to pass the message and find out if you’ll like to head back to Scenic Garden Manor or go to Mdm. Zapler’s place.”

Uneasy about leaving Christina alone at home and worried that she would get too bored or her emotions might get out of control, Nathaniel thus thoughtfully planned things out for her.
