Let Me Stay The Night novel Chapter 81

Upon returning to Evelyn’s house, Christina dove under her sheets the moment she closed her room

door.

She hid herself under the sheets and her eyes reddened when she thought of what happened earlier.

You’re such a jerk, Nathaniel! You don’t allow me anywher near men. Yet what were you doing at home with Madison?

When Christina’s phone rang abruptly, she answered at once. A gentle voice subsequently rang out

from it.

“Christina, I have a job for you. Mr. Henry Jackson from Jadeborough wants to work with us. He’ll be paying for our air tickets and accommodation too. Are you in?”

Christina owed Bailey a debt of gratitude after the latter helped her retrieve the original video from the video editor previously.

Since she was feeling down, taking a short break while making some money sounded like a good idea.

Without the slightest hesitation, she agreed, “Sure.”

“In that case, I’ll see you at the airport tomorrow.” Bailey ended the call after her reply.

Thereafter, Christina found Gina’s number in her contact list and gave the latter a call.

Ever since she started work half a year ago, she had never missed a day of work. Thus, the time was ripe for her to use her leave for a break.

Gina quickly agreed and reminded Christina to hand in her leave application upon her return.

The next day, Christina packed a small luggage and put on a floral dress with a matching pink hoodie. She subsequently completed her look with two casually tied braids.

With a porcelain-white face that didn’t need any makeup, Christina put on some lip balm and curled the corner of her lips slightly. The way she looked was the epitome of a youthful and vibrant girl.

As it was still early, there weren’t many people at the airport when she arrived.

Thus, Christina easily spotted Bailey in the waiting area.

With a headful of black hair strewn upon her shoulder, Bailey was wearing a shirt with teddy-bear prints and black overalls. The black baseball cap on her head was slung so low that her eyes were almost covered.

“Bailey, did you spend the entire night recording again?”

Bailey was famous in the recording industry due to the versatility of her voice. Therefore, she was highly sought after by audiobook producers.

“I don’t mind suffering a little for the opportunity to work with my best friend.”

Flashing a smile, Christina tapped Bailey on the nose. “You’re such a sweet talker.”

As it had been a while since they last saw each other, both of them chatted happily while boarding the plane.

Meanwhile, inside a skyscraper located in the city center, Nathaniel was sitting elegantly in his office chair, listening to Sebastian’s reports.

Nevertheless, he felt particularly distracted, and his eyes would drift toward his phone intermittently.

His calls to Christina the night before were unanswered, while his calls today couldn’t even get through.

Is it because she’s busy at work?

All of a sudden, he interrupted Sebastian, “Find out what Christina is up to.”

Madison was naturally upset to hear his words but could only keep her emotions to herself. After all, no one ever dared to show their displeasure to his face.

All she felt was jealousy over the fact that the usually workaholic Nathaniel was thinking of Christina. during work.

With no time to lose, Sebastian called Radiant Corporation immediately and had his answer within two minutes.

“Mrs. Hadley has returned, but she took a week’s leave. No one knows where she is.”

Nathaniel’s brows furrowed slightly. Did she actually go on a holiday without telling me?

“Find out where she is.”

Sebastian briefly froze before dropping whatever he was doing. “Understood.”

“Mr. Hadley, Sebastian still has important matters to report to you. Christina is an adult who can take care of herself, so I don’t see why you need to be worried.”

Madison could guess why Christina had gone on leave and wasn’t taking Nathaniel’s calls. It had to do with what she said the day before.
