Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

Chapter 501 Jealous Of Himself

“You’re back, Christina!” The surprise on Rayne’s face gave way immediately to delight.

They had not seen each other since Christina’s hurried departure.

“Yes, I am.” Christina replied with a smile. She dropped the purse slung on her shoulder, sat down, and gazed up at Rayne. “How’s the studio? Are there new orders?”

Christina felt a little guilty at the mention of that.

Upon introspection, she thought she was too rash.

“No. After you left, Mr. Hadley had me put out a notice that you have gone on holiday,” Rayne answered.

Christina nodded, silently lauding Nathaniel’s decision.

“Well, the vacation’s over. Tell everyone I’m back and ready to take orders,” Christina said as she turned on her laptop.

Rayne was overjoyed at those words. If Christina is ready to take orders, it means that she would not be leaving again anytime soon. “Of course. I’ll get it done.”

Rayne left excitedly to put out the word.

Christina began taking care of work that she had not managed to resolve before leaving. Before she knew it, it was already noon.

“What would you like for lunch, Christina?” Rayne asked, entering the room when she noticed Christinal was still immersed in her work. There was expectant glitter in her eyes.

Christina looked up and gave a start when she realized what time it was. “Sorry, Rayne. I can’t have lunch. with you today. I’m seeing Nathaniel.”

“All right. Don’t go overboard with the PDA” Pursing her lips, Rayne gave the other a knowing look.

“We’ll have lunch tomorrow,” Christina offered. She was feeling fantastic now that she had resolved the knot in her chest, always wearing a big smile wherever she went.
