Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 493 You Can Head Back First

Christina took a deep breath. She turned to face the project director, a young lady in her early twenties. “Have you

thought things through before owning up to the charges? Once you’re proven guilty, you will not only have to return

the money but your license will also be revoked. In the end, you’ll be blacklisted by all major corporations.”

To a young female employee like her, such dire consequences spelled the end of her career.

The director had made up her mind to risk everything. Biting the bullet, she said, “I was the one who fabricated all

these documents. Ms. Gibson truly had no idea. Whenever I presented the documents for signing. I included the

false accounts and secretly withdrew the commissions.”

This project director had been working for Anya for a long time. Christina didn’t expect Anya to abandon the project

director to save herself.

Christina’s expression clouded over as she immediately called security to bring the project director away.

The atmosphere in the conference room couldn’t be any more tense.

Actually, everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to speak up.

Christina didn’t expect Anya to have an escape plan and let the project director take the blame.

However, Christina wouldn’t let her get out of this easily.

Christina glared at Anya and said sternly, “Although

With that, Christina looked at everyone and said, “The meeting is adjourned.”

She then walked out of the conference room.

Anya was naturally upset since she had joined the company as a director and was now demoted to a mere

employee.

However, she could only bear with it no matter how resentful she was at that moment.

In the office, Christina received a name list from the director of the HR department. It was a list of employees that

worked under Anya. “They’re all fired.”

“Yes, Ms. Steele.” The HR department’s director took the list back from Christina and left.

Even though she couldn’t remove Anya from the company, she removed the latter’s closest allies. This would likely

prevent Anya from causing any more trouble from now on.

After settling everything, she heaved a sigh of relief and reclined in her chair.

At this moment, the door was pushed open.

Christina was resting with her eyes closed, so she assumed it was her assistant who had gone to grab the first aid

kit. “Just put it down. I’ll take care of it myself.”

The footsteps approached her and didn’t stop until the person was behind her.

Christina immediately grew wary and stood up abruptly. Subsequently, she met the man’s jet-black eyes.

Nathaniel set aside the first aid kit he was holding and inspected the wound on her forehead while wearing an

apathetic expression.

Upon feeling the warmth from his fingertips, Christina instinctively recoiled. “It hurts.”

Her voice was so delicate and tender that Nathaniel’s heart almost melted.

His movements slowed down as he carefully disinfected her wound and blew on it to ease the pain. “Those people

have been caught, but none of them confessed who the mastermind was.”

“They won’t necessarily tell the truth even if they do confess,” Christina added.

After seeing Anya’s tactics just now, she was sure Anya had come up with a way to escape unscathed.

A dark glint flashed across Nathaniel’s eyes. “I won’t let her get away with it so easily.” —

His tone was light, but the chilly aura he exuded was palpable.

Christina nodded. “However, she’s my cousin and someone my grandmother treasures. I can’t bring myself to

harm her.”

Sometimes, she hated herself for being so soft-hearted. Even if others were cruel to her, she couldn’t bring herself

to hurt them.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll take care of it.” Nathaniel carefully bandaged her wound and stopped

mentioning this topic.

At that moment, Christina’s phone rang.

It was a call from Sheridan.

“Christina, I heard you’re back. Did the information help you?” Sheridan’s voice was as gentle as the

setting sun.

Although Nathaniel and Sheridan were both men, Nathaniel was like a scorching sun at noon, capable of melting

the coldest heart. Sheridan, on the other hand, was completely different from him.

“It has helped me tremendously! Thank you! Please send me the bill.” Christina smiled.

Things wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if she didn’t have Sheridan helping her.

Sheridan chuckled. “I’ve already asked my assistant to send it. Have you eaten lunch? I know a nice restaurant.

Shall we go and grab lunch together?”

Christina hesitated as she glanced at Nathaniel, whose expression had darkened. “Of course, but…”

She was about to suggest making plans for another time when Sheridan interrupted, “I’m already downstairs at

your company. Come down.”

With that, Sheridan hung up the phone.

So fast? He’s already downstairs?

Christina shot an awkward glance at Nathaniel. “How about you go back first? We’ll grab dinner together, okay?”
