Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 323 Back To The Studio

Christina picked up the offer letter and scanned it. “Are you offering me a job as the owner of Christina’s Studios?”

You’ll be getting a higher salary than what your studio is currently paying you. You have no reason to turn it down.”

Nathaniel knew her very well. She would become restless if she were away from her work for longer than two days.

Since she wants to work, why not let her work under my nose? That way, I can keep an eye on her too.

“Christina’s Studios is mine. Since when did it become yours?” Christina scowled, feeling as though the fruits of her labor had been stolen from her.

“Well, it’s mine now. If you refuse, I’ll just hire another designer. Don’t say I didn’t warn you if they make a mess of it.” Though Nathaniel employed a tone of lazy nonchalance, his gaze remained fixedly on her face.

Christina’s expression turned sour. He’s forcing me into a corner to present me with a choice he has plotted for a long time as the only option.

Nathaniel knew how misleading her meek demeanor was; she was more stubborn than anybody he knew when it came to principles. Even the prospect of money would not tempt her otherwise.

In that case, why not have a written contract bind her by my side?

Christina did not speak. The atmosphere around there turned tense.

Nathaniel walked over and placed a fountain pen in her hand. “You are going to need a job. It’s the same wherever you work, so you might as well work for me. You get decent benefits, and the boss doesn’t ask for much.”

Before Christina realized what was happening, he was already holding her hand and signing her name with the patience of an adult teaching a child to write.

Moments later, Christina’s signature appeared, fully formed and irrevocable, on the agreement.
