Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 193

Chapter 193 Five Thousand Dollars

Spending long hours in the office would tire anyone out.

It was a rare opportunity to let loose and have some fun. The vibe was lively, as the crowd consisted of young people who knew how to have a good time.

The emcee called out for participants to join in on a game.

“Ms. Steele, shall we play too?” Without waiting for Christina’s response, Shelley pulled her toward the

stage.

“I don’t really want to play,” Christina lamented. She had never been one for large, lively crowds.

However, Shelley wouldn’t take no for an answer. “Come on, let your hair down and enjoy yourself a little.”

The host took the mic and began explaining the rules of the game, “The guys have to pick up their female partners, and whoever drops their partner first loses. The winner gets a grand prize of five thousand dollars!”

The lure of the prize money was irresistible; Christina’s colleagues, who had been hesitant earlier, were now frantically searching for partners.

Soon enough, the pairs of contestants were ready to compete.

There was still one middle–aged finance manager without a partner. Hence, he walked over and asked, “Ms. Steele, shall we team up?”

“Umm, L…” Christina was reluctant to be intimate with a stranger.

It was a difficult choice to make. If she rejected him, she risked hurting his feelings. But if she accepted, she would have to get too close for comfort with a complete stranger.

Just as she was struggling to decide, a tall figure walked up from behind her.

“Sorry, but she’s taken,” the man said.

“My apologies, Mr. Hadley.” The finance manager paled with fear and hurriedly left the stage.

Although the prize money of five thousand dollars was very tempting, offending Nathaniel would be a career–ending move.

Christina blinked her eyes in surprise and asked, “Nathaniel, why are you here?”

“I couldn’t let you hug and cuddle with other men, could I?” Nathaniel snorted.

Just then, the host announced the start of the game.

Christina immediately jumped into Nathaniel’s arms like a cute little bunny. Her legs wrapped around his waist, and her hands curled around his neck.
