Let Me Stay The Night Novel (Christina and Nathaniel)

In an attempt to diffuse the tension, Christina said, “Ms. Tanner will be selecting the assistants. I welcome anyone who wants to lend a hand.”

Her colleagues took the hint and returned to their positions.

Later that afternoon, Gina arranged for Anna and Xenia Darby from Team B to assist Christina.

Anna had been performing well lately, so Gina hadn’t planned to assign her as Christina’s assistant. However, she offered to assist Christina.

Alas, Gina accepted Anna’s offer.

As soon as Anna entered Christina’s office, the two embraced tightly as if old friends reuniting after a long time. “We’re back to working together!” Anna exclaimed.

“Given your skills, you don’t have to be my assistant, Christina said sheepishly. They used to work together and knew each other’s capabilities.

However, Anna didn’t see anything wrong with the antingement. After all, she felt it was an honor to be Christina’s assistant.

“It’s no big deal. I saw Coco’s outfit and style yesterday, and it was really beautiful!” Anna said as she placed the freshly brewed coffee on Christina’s desk.

After a short pause, she added, “I think you’re incredibly talented, and I want to learn from you,”

Christina didn’t reject Anna’. She understood that declining her now would be taken as being insincere.

“All right, thank you for your efforts,” said Christina.

Just then, Xenia entered the room. It seemed that Gif had handpicked her as she wanted to give one of the top performers at Team B a chance to learn and grow.

However, Xenia was not particularly fond of Christina, who was around her age.

In her opinion, Christina was not that talented because she had graduated from an average design. school.

Xenia went as far as to speculate that Christina’s wealth and fame were attributed to the rumored support from a wealthy businessman.

Christina did not notice the strange look from Xenia The trio then sat down and started to discuss work.

The first task was to design a dress for the popular actress Orlena Willen who was well-known for her vintage style.

Halfway through the discussion, Gina notified Christina that an important guest had arrived and instructed her to attend to the guest personally.

When Christina entered the conference room, she was surprised to see Emilia.

The woman’s outfit was oozing with sophistication and wealth. Even the gemstone ring she was wearing was worth a fortune.

I haven’t heard any recent news about the Steele family. Why is Emilia able to dress so extravagantly?

Emilia wasted no time in mocking her. “Look at you Christina, dressed like a pauper, while I’m dressed like a queen. I mean, can’t you see the difference”.

Christina, who usually dressed in a simple and casual style on workdays, was a far cry from the girl’s glamorous appearance.

“I heard you’re supposed to be the best designer in Raliant Corporation. I’m not that impressed,” Emilia sneered.

“There are many talented designers in the company. You can always choose someone else,” Christina replied coolly.

Without another word, she began walking toward the door.

Angered by the woman’s blatant disrespect, Emilia stood up and yelled, “Did I say you could leave, Christina Steele? Get back here!”

Christine stopped in her tracks and spoke to Emilia with her back turned. “If you have something to say, make it quick. My time is precious.”

Emilia climbed the social ladder so that she could show off to Christina.

She wanted to prove that she was just as capable as Christine by marrying a wealthy husband and living a life of extravagance, complete with an endless array of dresses and jewelry.

“I want to make a dress, and I want you to make it,” she demanded.

Christina placed her hands on her hips and scoffed, Sure, what style do you want?”

As expected, Emilia had a long list of demands for her dress. However, Christina made no effort to jot them down.

“It needs to be done by this week,” Emilia stressed, even going as far as to specify the exact time she wanted the dress completed.

However, Christina refused to give in to her unreasonable demands. “I have a customer to attend to, so you’ll have to wait in line,” she stated firmly.

“I don’t want to wait. Why don’t you prioritize my dress?” Emilia hissed.

Gina, who had been observing the exchange, decided to intervene. Given their shared surname, she was able to deduce their relationship.

“Christina, the boss has instructed us to handle her order,” she whispered.

Christina was initially hesitant, but she had a sudden lea and readily agreed to the task. “Okay, I’ll

work on it over the weekend.”

Gina was surprised at how easily she had given in, considering the heated argument earlier

Satisfied with Christina’s answer, Emilia got ready to leave. However, before she left, she delivered a parting threat. “Make sure you do it perfectly, or else I’ll ask your boss to lire you,” she snarled.

With that, Christina marched back to her office, her eyes blazing with fury.

She sat down at her desk and began sketching out the designs that Emilia had requested.

To anyone watching, it would seem like she was simply hard at work, diligently creating the requested design. But in reality, Christina was secretly developing a ploy.

Over the week, she delegated some of the more mundane tasks to Xenia to focus all of her attention on the dress design for Emilia.
