Let Me Stay The Night

Anya realized that without the backing of the Gibson family, she stood no chance against Christina. She understood that engaging in a direct confrontation with Christina would only put her at a disadvantage.

However, Anya’s pride prevented her from acknowledging that Christina was living a more successful life than her.

Before leaving. Anya could not resist leaving some biting remarks. “Christina, you’ll pay for every ounce of humiliation you’ve inflicted on me! I swear, even if it means dragging you down to hell, I won’t rest until you’ve suffered as I have!”

“You all initiated this cruel game, remember? If you can’t handle the consequences of your own actions, why did you willingly create such an uncomfortable situation in the first place?” Christina retorted.

With a heart full of resentment, Anya stormed out and coincidentally bumped into the secretary who was coming in with a cup of coffee.

The coffee spilled all over the secretary, who screamed in pain.

Not only did Anya refuse to apologize for her reckless behavior, but she also seized the opportunity to shift the blame to the secretary and delivered her accusations with a self-righteous tone.

“Are you blind?” Anya scolded, her voice dripping with disdain. “Why are you staring at me? Do you want me to pluck your eyes out? Consider yourself lucky that the coffee didn’t spill on me. Otherwise, you’d be held accountable and have to compensate me with a year’s salary. I highly doubt you’re capable of handling that!”

The secretary, her eyes red with distress, cast a glance at Christina. Having had several encounters with Anya before, she was well aware that Anya was not an easy person to deal with.

Despite her innocence, she found herself unjustly blamed. Being scalded by hot coffee without any fault of her own was already a distressing experience. However, the false accusation added insult to injury. making it impossible for her to overlook the injustice. No matter how forgiving she might be, she could not simply let the accusation slide. “You bumped into me.

“What did you say?” Anya yelled fiercely, instantly silencing the frightened secretary, who did not dare to utter another word.

“Apologize to my secretary, Anya,” Christina said sternly, her voice filled with unwavering resolve and authority. “Otherwise, don’t even think about walking through that door.”
