Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 327 Reunion

“Christina!” Coco took off her sunglasses to reveal her exquisite facial features. Evidently, she became more

beautiful than she was four years prior.

Coco had made a name for herself over the past few years and had become so popular that most people 1.

could recognize her on the streets.

“What are you doing here. Coco?” Christina yelled in surprise and hugged Coco.

Back then, Coco left in a rush and didn’t say goodbye to her friends. After they stopped contacting each. other all of

a sudden, Christina thought Coco had forgotten about her.

“I’ve been keeping tabs on your studio! When I learned that you were back, I came back as soon as I could!” Coco

giggled.

The two had a catch-up session there and then.

Coco only remembered an important matter she wanted to tell Christina about after they had finished two pots of

tea.

“Recently, my studio wanted me to take a collection of retro photos wearing clothes from the eighties. The major

brands will provide the outfits, but I need a professional to guide me on how to match and wear them. Therefore, I

told them I wanted you to be my stylist because I knew you’d make me look fabulous. I came to look for you

specifically, and I’ll only need two days of your time. You won’t reject me, right? Coco asked coyly while grabbing

Christina’s hand.

Christina was amused. With her status in the entertainment industry, Coco can afford any of the best stylists in the

industry. Yet, she came to look for me specifically. How can I possibly turn her down?

With that in mind, Christina replied, “Sure! Please inform my assistant beforehand, and I’ll definitely show up.

“You’re the best!” Coco hugged her. “Obviously, I’ll pay you handsomely. See you!”

Christina sent Coco out and went to the tailor room. I need to finish Mrs. Singer’s gown quickly. Since I’ve already

told her she would have the gown ready by the end of the month, I ought to keep my word.

Christina had her schedule fixed, and she planned to stay in the entire second half of the month. If she were to go

out, she would have to make time for it.

That afternoon, she called and instructed Raymond to fetch the kids. After that, she told the kids she was working

overtime.

“Mommy, you can work overtime, but you must promise to bring us out during the weekend” Lucas didn’t reveal

the activity planned for the weekend because Nathaniel told them to keep it a secret to avoid Christina bailing out

“No matter where we want to go, you must come along!” Camila chimed in.

“Sure. I’ll bring you to wherever you want, Christina promised. Well, bringing the kids out every weekend is already

a norm

Upon getting Christina’s assurance, the kids promised to have lunch and take their nap in the afternoon. With that,

Christina hung up the phone and continued working.

By the time sunset arrived, the lights in the room lit up, and most employees had left the office.

Christina was left sitting in the tailor room alone and embroidering a piece of chiffon material.

Embroidery was a unique skill possessed by designers, but not all designers could embroider well. In other words,

one had to rely on personal skills to produce a splendid product of embroidery.

Embroidery pieces were usually the hardest to come by among all the high-end clothing in the market.

Right then, Madison deliberately passed by Christina’s office with a confidential document. She wanted to hide the

document in the office and get someone to bust Christina the next day.

However, she didn’t expect Christina to still be working at that hour.

Madison quickly hid somewhere and devised a better way to trick Christina.

Madison then took the elevator back to her office, kept the document aside, and went to the security department.

Five security guards were working at that time. When they saw her coming in, the leader of the security guards

approached her and asked. “Is there something I can do for you, Ms. Taggart?”

Generally speaking, administration workers were rarely required to visit the security department unless something

urgent arose.

“Please check the elevators because when I was in the elevator carlier today, I noticed something was amiss,”

Madison answered.

The leader frowned slightly and said, “If we were to check the elevators, we would need to cut off the power supply

to the elevators. Unfortunately, we planned to upgrade our surveillance system tonight. Hence, we might need to

cut off the power supply to the entire building.”

“What’s the problem with that? After all, everyone had already gone home. Shouldn’t you guys solve the problem

before Mr. Hadley arrives tomorrow?” Madison questioned.

“In that case, please leave the building. We’ll upgrade the security system, inspect the elevators, and rectify the

issues regarding our power supply,” the leader replied.

Madison was thrilled when she thought about how Christina would be trapped in the office the entire night.

Before she left, she added, “By the way, please crank up the air-conditioning after you guys inspect the elevators.

The pungent smell of paint has been overwhelming after they repainted the corridors on every floor. Let’s use the

air-conditioning to get rid of the smell.”

“Sure.”

Since the power supply to the air-conditioning was separated from the power supply to the entire building, the

security guards could definitely do as they were told.

A meaningful smile appeared on Madison’s face as she made her way out of the security department. Eager to

leave the building, she went to the garage as quickly as she could.

Shortly after she started driving, she received a call from Nathaniel.

“Bring me the contract between Xenos Corporation and us,” Nathaniel instructed.

Madison didn’t want to return to the office, so she coughed lightly and asked, “Do you need it in a hurry, Mr.

Hadley? May I bring it to you tomorrow instead? I think I’ve fallen sick, and I’ve only gotten into

bed…”

“Rest well, then.” Nathaniel didn’t press further.

“Thank you, Mr. Hadley.”

Meanwhile, all the lights in the office were switched off at once, and the entire place was in complete darkness.

Christina gasped and pricked her own finger with the needle. What just happened?

Christina then turned on the flashlight on her phone and checked if she had made a mistake with her embroidery

the moment the lights went out. Fortunately for her, she was skillful enough to avoid that from happening.

She then put aside the embroidery she had already completed by one-third and exited the tailor room. before

vigilantly locking the door behind her.

Is this a power outage? Why wasn’t I informed? Christina left the office and wanted to take the elevator to go

downstairs. However, she found out that the elevators were all out of service.

Suddenly, the air-conditioning was cranked up to the highest fan setting, and she felt like she was standing in the

middle of a winter storm.

A deep line appeared between Christina’s brows as she tried making her way toward the back stairwell.

To her dismay, nothing seemed to be going her way that night because she found that the door to the back,

stairwell was locked from the other side. I’m stuck here…

Left without a choice, Christina went back to her studio. The central air conditioning system continued to blow gusts

of chilly wind in her face, and she ended up sneezing a couple of times. I don’t know if the company is undergoing

some maintenance operation, but I can’t possibly sit here and let the air-conditioning make me sick. I might catch a

cold soon!

With that in mind, Christina turned on the phone. Luckily, my phone still works. I need to call someone for help. Who

should I call, though?

Upon seeing her call log, she hesitated for a while before calling someone.

The call got through fairly quickly.

“Christina” the person on the other end of the call called out.
