Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 481

Chapter 480 A Favor 

Christina was amused by Anya’s anxious expression. “You were never punctual to the office, so what’s the big deal about waiting a while for me?” 

Is she just anxious about finding out whether I’m carrying the flash drive? 

Anya froze. “What are you talking about? I’ve never been late to work. I’m not someone without a sense of time like you.” 

Was I making it that obvious? Does Christina suspect something? That would be unlikely. I was wearing a mask when I met with the motorcycle gang. I took every precaution, so there’s no way she would know. 

Curling her lips into a smirk, Christina added to the mystery with her silence. 

Soon, the engineers and their workers gathered at the scene. 

“Now that everyone’s here, let’s survey the construction site.” 

As the group entered the site, the engineers began to take measurements with their workers. 

Christina, while flipping through the documents, came to the conclusion that the residential area would sell like hotcakes upon completion. 

“After such an exhausting night, aren’t you tired of standing in your heels?” Nathaniel teased in a voice that was only audible to the two of them. 

Does he not know that sound can travel far on this empty piece of land? Does he have no shame? How can he say something so embarrassing in front of this many people? 

Christina gave him the side-eye. “I don’t need your concern. Just mind your own business.” 

Nathaniel snorted in laughter. “I was just showing how much I care about you.” 

Christina rolled her eyes at him before returning her attention to the document in her hand. 

Soon, afternoon arrived after they worked through the entire morning. 

Adopting an entirely different attitude, Anya held Christina’s hand and asked. “Christina, since this is my first time here, why don’t you show us around?” 

Christina threw her a suspicious look. She’s clearly up to something. Let’s see what it is, 

*All right. Where would you like to go?” 

An insidious glint flashed across Anya’s eyes. “There’s a resort nearby and I happened to have my subordinates with me. Why don’t we head over there to relax?” 

Christina agreed with a hod, “Sure, tell them we’ll drive there once they’re ready.” 

Thereafter, the satisfied Anya walked off to gather her colleagues. 

“Are you going out with them?” Nathaniel asked in an authoritative tone 

With one hand placed on her hip and a darkened look in her eyes, Christina retorted, “Should I be writing a report to you about where I’m going” 

The stern look on his face annoyed Christina. I was just kidding. Why does he have to take it so seriously? 

“We’re done and ready to go now.” Anya then looked at Nathaniel. “Nathaniel, are you coming with us?“ 

“Nathaniel?” Christina knitted her brows, feeling somewhat disgusted by Anya’s tone. 

Anya cocked a brow and pretended to be friendly. “That’s right. Since you’re my sister, doesn’t that make Nathaniel family?” 

As she spoke, she gave Nathaniel an innocent look. Unfortunately, Nathaniel didn’t pay her any heed, so she retracted her gaze. 

When the driver arrived in front of the two of them, Anya could see that three of her colleagues were already inside the car. Clearly, it would be too much of a squeeze for her to join them. “Christina, since there’s barely any space here, why don’t we go in Nathaniel’s car instead?” 

Realizing that it would be rude to turn down such a trivial request in front of so many people, Christina agreed. “Sure.” 

As Nathaniel led Christina away, Anya followed them from behind with a smug smile on her face. 

When they arrived at the car, Sebastian opened the car door for Christina and Nathaniel before closing it once they got in. 

“Are you blind? I haven’t gotten in yet,” Anya snapped. 

Without showing any expression, Sebastian pointed at the car behind. “Your ride is the one behind this, Ms. Gibson. Go on.” 

With that, he walked over to the front passenger seat. The car sped off the moment he got in. 

“D*mn, that assistant. Why didn’t he let me take the front passenger seat?” After her plan to ride in the same car as Nathaniel was foiled. Anya had no choice but to get into the car behind. 

Half an hour later, they arrived at the holiday resort. 

The entire area was newly developed and designed with a romantic theme. Every subsection had its own unique sights. 

When the group arrived at the hotel entrance, Sebastian went to check in, then distributed the keycards to Anya and the others. 

“Five single rooms? That’s really generous. What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and thank Mr. Hadley,” said Anya as if she was the host. 

The group expressed their gratitude, and the solemn-looking Nathaniel let out an inaudible hum. He took. his keycard from Sebastian before leaving with Christina in tow. 

Upon entering the VIP elevator, Christina commented softly, “That was rude of you. You should’ve at least acknowledged them” 

“I did.” Nathaniel said. 

Christina was amused by his response. The hum of his acknowledgment was so soft that even she couldn’t 

hear it despite standing right beside him. Forget it. I should count my blessing that he didn’t just walk off with a scowl. 

Upon entering the room and hearing the door shut, Christina came back to her senses. She realized that she had walked into the same room as Nathaniel. “I don’t want to share a room with you.”
