Let Me Stay The Night

Meanwhile, Christina left a message for Bailey. Subsequently, she started replying to the text from the studio.

Rayne’s excitement was palpable, and her message read: We’ve received Anthea’s penalty for the breach of contract, and the studio now has an extra half a year’s profit. When are you planning to make time to come over to the studio so show your face? We all miss you, and the newly-recruited employees would also like to meet their employer.

Christina stroked her baby bump, her fingers flying across the keypad as she replied: I’m making a trip to Hallsbay tomorrow. We’ll make plans when I come back. You guys would have to bear the brunt of the work again these days. As for the penalty, use it to give bonuses to the employees. You make the call about the specific amount.

Rayne texted back: If they were to learn about this, they’d likely jump for joy. Just focus on dealing with your personal matters. I’ll keep an eye on things at the studio on your behalf. That aside, they can all work independently. Everything will be fine with the studio.

Christina: Thank you.

No sooner had she sent that message than a warm body plastered against her back and hugged her from behind.

Noting the ID on the phone, Nathaniel asked, “Did something happen to the studio?”

“No. Rayne was merely reporting the studio’s current situation to me regularly. Did you find new leads regarding Winston when you attended the cocktail party this afternoon?” Christina queried.

“These few days Nigel has been in jail gave him room to breathe. He has already secretly investigated Nigel and obtained some dirt and incriminating evidence on the man. Perhaps he wants to use that to threaten Nigel into giving up the idea of selling off Raveworks Enterprise. But he has a backup plan. Once Nigel stubbornly refuses to budge, he’ll cash out all the shares and stocks in his possession before injecting the money into his newly established company.”

Realization dawned upon Christina that there was an irreconcilable conflict between Winston and Nigel. Thus, if someone with ulterior motives were to pit them against each other, they would rip off all pretens of civility.

“When will Nigel be released by the police?” Christina asked further.

“That’ll depend on how long your father wants him to stay in jail,” Nathaniel answered meaningfully.
