Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 145

It was late when Christina came out of the company. She spotted a familiar car parked nearby the entrance once she exited the building.

Recognizing Nathaniel’s car, she walked over to it.

She opened the door and got into the car.

Sebastian started the engine and drove back to Scenic Garden Manor.

In the car, the sparkling chandelier shone down on them, casting a beautiful glow. Nathaniel’s woody scent filled the car, creating a cozy atmosphere.

“Is Zachary so demanding on his employees? Why do you get off work late every day?” Nathaniel asked icily.

Christina behaved like an employee who was being lectured. Then, she replied meekly, “No. I was the one who chose to work overtime. My decision has nothing to do with anyone else.”

She was afraid that Nathaniel would file a complaint with Zachary out of anger to cut down her

workload.

If her workload was reduced, it meant that her pay would also decrease. She had to bear her mother’s medical bills recently, so money was extremely important to her.

Nathaniel furrowed his brows, and displeasure was written over his face.

He appeared quite intimidating, almost as if he had just finished reading a document that didn’t meet his standards.

Christina could sense the tension in the air.

She pulled out her phone and started tapping on the screen quietly, ignoring Nathaniel completely.

Sebastian noticed their interaction through the rearview mirror and promptly broke into cold sweat.

Christina is usually very astute and knows how to lift Mr. Hadley’s spirits whenever he’s upset. It’s unusual for her to ignore him like this. Even if she doesn’t feel like talking, she could at least sit there quietly and show some respect. It’s unacceptable for her to be on her phone while ignoring Mr. Hadley.

Christina’s gaze remained fixated on her phone as the tension in the car gradually reached its boiling point, ready to erupt at any moment.

The car rolled to a stop when the light turned red.

Nathaniel’s dark gaze was trained on the ground. The sunlight streamed in through the window, illuminating his chiseled features and adding to his imposing presence. He looked exceptionally cold and indifferent.

Suddenly, Christina held his arm and pressed her soft figure to his. A sweet scent attacked his nostrils.

Lifting her chin, Christina blinked innocently and potted her lips. “Nathaniel, I don’t think we’ve ever gone shopping together before. Why don’t we watch a movie and go shopping this weekend?”

Nathaniel frowned as a glint flashed across his eyes. However, he didn’t reply to her immediately.

Watch a movie? Go shopping together?

Sebastian thought he was hearing things. Mr. Hadley’s schedule is packed, and he rarely has any free time. Even if he’s free, he won’t waste his time watching movies and shopping. That’s so boring. Christina has used the wrong approach this time!

As Nathaniel said nothing, disappointment flooded Christina’s eyes. “If you’re not free, forget it.”

Perhaps Nathaniel couldn’t stand seeing her disappointment, for he replied without hesitation, “I’m free.”

“Really?” Christina asked incredulously.

They had been in a relationship for a while now, but their time together was mostly spent at Scenic

date. Garden Manor. It just occurred to her that they had never really gone out on a proper

Nathaniel grunted in affirmation, sounding both affectionate and accommodating.

“Great! I just saw on my phone that a new movie has been released. How about we go shopping first. and then watch the movie?” Christina suggested eagerly.

As she continued talking about her plan, her excitement grew, and she wished that Saturday could
