Richard gave her a doubtful look.
“Can… Can you stay here with me for a while? I’m sleepy, but I’m scared of having nightmares. If you’re by my side, I might sleep better,” Angela expressed her inner thoughts.
Richard glanced at the file next to him without her noticing and nodded, “Okay, I’ll stay here and finish my work. Get some sleep!”
“Can… Can I sleep on your bed? The couch is too small.” Angela was getting greedy now.
