Let Me Stay The Night

Even though Sebastian still didn’t understand, he didn’t persist in his questioning out of professionalism. Instead, he turned around and got back to work.

Christina finished dinner and wrapped herself in her comfy blankets after a shower. With her phone in hand, she video-called Nathaniel to tell him about her day.

Nathaniel was busy, so Christina was the one who did most of the talking. Nevertheless, he would make the effort to reply to everything she said to prove he was listening.

After nearly three hours, Christina began to doze off.

Nathaniel put on his earphones and set his phone at eye level, then continued his meeting with a softer

tone.

His gaze occasionally strayed to Christina’s sleeping face. The sight of her soundly asleep calmed his irritation, sparing his colleagues, who didn’t do a good job, from a tongue lashing. D

Waking up the next day, Christina noticed her phone battery had died and recalled how she’d fallen asleep without ending the video call.

Sh*t! I’m sure Nathaniel is p”ssed that he couldn’t reach me when the video call ended suddenly.

She hurriedly rummaged through the drawers for her phone cable, plugging one end into her phone and the other into the charging cube. After waiting a few minutes for her phone to power up, she noticed Nathaniel had texted her good night after the call ended.

It’s six something in the morning. Nathaniel should still be in bed at this hour, so it’s probably not a good time to call him and explain.

After racking her brain, Christina concluded that the man wasn’t angry and happily returned to her warm. comfy bed. She then began tapping away on her phone, explaining her “mistake” from the night before.

Once done, she got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
