Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 328

“Nathaniel, I have a problem,” whispered Christina. She sounded desperate.

A flash of delight flitted across Nathaniel’s eyes. “What happened?”

He then added. “No matter what it is, I will resolve it for you.”

Christina had a feeling that Nathaniel would strip naked and run around the streets if she asked that of him right now.

“I’m being trapped in the office, and the elevator has stopped. The stairwell door has been locked, and the aircon keeps getting colder.”

She breathed in deeply and felt that the air was colder than before.

Nathaniel looked angry. “Wait for me. I’m heading there right away.”

“All right.”

After hanging up the phone, Christina felt a lot better.

After all, she was at the office, and her life was not in danger. All she had to do was wait for Nathaniel to

arrive.

Madison said she was not feeling well. As for Sebastian, he had already gone home to deal with his work. Nathaniel wanted to look through some documents, and that was why he had to rush to the office.

He did not expect to receive a call for help from Christina while he was on the way.

Nathaniel sped up, and very soon, he arrived at the office.

He phoned the security and asked them what was going on.

The head of security was surprised to see all the important members of the company showing up that day.

He gave Nathaniel his report but did not mention anything about Madison.

Nathaniel instructed coldly. “Resume all operations and shut off the air-conditioning.”

“Uh… It’s not possible because the system is currently undergoing an upgrade. We’ll have to wait for three hours before we can resume operations.” The head of security did not know what to do.

“Mr. Hadley, if there’s anything, I can do it on your behalf.”

Nathaniel was furious. “No need. When the upgrade is done, resume operations. Turn off the air- conditioning immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. Hadley.”

Since the elevator was not working. Nathaniel decided to climb up the stairs to the twenty-first floor.

Someone had definitely locked the back stairwell from the other side. Luckily, it was not a deadlock. After turning the knob, Nathaniel was able to open the door.

He opened the office door and found a skinny figure curling up on the couch.

Nathaniel rushed up and covered her slender shoulders with his jacket. “Christina, are you all right?”

She caught the familiar sandalwood scent of his as the jacket covered her shoulders.

Christina shuddered and looked up at Nathaniel’s sweaty yet handsome face. He was breathing heavily because of the exertion. The buttons on his shirt were opened, and his muscular chest was visible.

Although he appeared pretty wretched, Christina felt sorry for him, knowing that he had suffered because

of her.

“I’m all right. Just feeling a little cold. That’s all.” Despite what she said, she coughed for a while.

Even though the air-conditioning had been turned off, the air was still as cold as snow frost.

“Come. Let me take you home.” Nathaniel tried to pull her up from the couch.

Christina frowned because the blood in her body was about to freeze, and she could barely move. She felt like an ice sculpture.

“My legs are numb. I can’t walk,” she whispered ever so softly,

There was no hesitation on Nathaniel’s part. “I’ll carry you.”

He turned around with his back facing Christina before saying resolutely, “Get on my back.”
