Let Me Stay The Night Novel - Season 2 Episode 78
For now, the most important thing to do was to deal with the lawyer’s letter from Emilia.
No one would hope for the situation to spiral out of control. Besides, it wouldn’t be advantageous for one to waste money on that matter.
As the boss, Zachary prioritized his interests by saying, “I will make my decision before the meeting tomorrow morning.”
Gina and Christina walked out of the office. They had thought that the small matter could be solved. internally. Never had they expected the drama to spread like wildfire on the internet
Emilia’s fans were angrily bashing Coco for her underhanded trick to snatch Emilia’s endorsement deal.
That was why Emilia’s promotional photos could not be published. Such a dirty trick of Coco to get her hands on Emilia’s endorsement deal was something that the public could not tolerate.
Emilia had also posted a video of her shooting for Radiant Corporation on her social media account. Seeing that, everyone naturally picked her side and believed in her.
What surprised Christina the most was seeing the netizens swarming the comments section of Coco’s social media accounts with insults.
I feel so sorry for her. She was kind enough to lend me a hand. I didn’t expect to drag her into this mess.
She gave Coco a call and was relieved to know that her jobs weren’t affected by the online feud.
“The nasty comments are mostly from ghostwriters. I have more fans than her ghostwriters, anyway. Don’t worry
about me,” comforted Coco.
Coco officially debuted long ago. She had never had any scandals over the years, and she believed that the small drama wouldn’t have much impact on her.
Coco had the plan to dispel the rumors in due course.
Now that I’m in the limelight, it’s best for me to remain silent now. Or else, I might be giving Emilia a chance to chase
the clout.

Worried that the situation would spiral out of control, Christina said, “I will clarify the matter for you.”
With that, she ended the call.
Coco wanted the stop her. After all, Christina was an outsider. There was nothing much she could do.
Before Coco could return the call, the filming was about to start, so she went off to get busy.
Christina feturned to the office. She turned on her computer and saw the drama being stirred up on the internet,
It was at that moment she recalled Emilia leaving in a hurry after answering a call that day.
If I’m not mistaken, she seemed as if she was going to attend a party that day. Everyone’s accusing Coco of her bad reputation. Perhaps I should prove to the public that Emilia is the one who has a bad image.
After work, Christina called for a taxi and waited outside the Steele residence.
The sky was turning dark. Emilia went out wearing a sexy black dress while carrying a branded bag.
Christina ordered the driver to tail Emilia’s car. Shortly after, they arrived at a bar in a remote area.
I have to capture her photos inside to show the world her bad side so that I can help Coco clarify the scandal.
Upon seeing Emilia enter the bar. Christina alighted from the taxi and followed her.
However, she didn’t expect to be blocked by the security guard outside. “Minors are not allowed to enter.”
Huh? Minors? I’ve been married for years!
That rendered Christina speechless.
Feeling exasperated, Christina fished out her ID card to prove her identity.
The security guard took the ID card and scanned it over a machine for verification. His expression suddenly turned solemn as he uttered, “You still can’t enter. We only allow our members to go in.”
How private of the bar to only serve its guests? No wonder Emilia doesn’t have to worry about getting photographed when she’s outside.
Christina was determined to exercise her plan that day. “How much is it to become a member? Can I not just spend money inside?”
The security guard shot her an aloof glance and replied, “No, you can’t do that. The only way to get in is through a member referral.”
After saying that, he shooed Christina out.
A vortex of anger immediately swirled inside Christina. What a lame bar! Did he just chase away a potential customer? This bar won’t survive long!
Despite her fury, Christina had to think of a way to go in.
Knowing that it was impossible for her to enter through the entrance, she started thinking of another plan.
Christina had experience working in a bar before. Putting her experience to good use, she found the back door soon. The door was left open as the workers were moving some frozen food.
She quickly sneaked into the staff changing room and got changed into waiter’s clothes.
After getting changed, she put on a mask.
As soon as Christina walked out of the room, she thought of checking Emilia’s room number through the
computer.
“Hey! You there, where are you going? Hurry and help out in the kitchen!”
She was interrupted by the manager behind her as she walked in the corridor.
The manager furrowed his brows. Why are the newbies so dumb? They just can’t recognize the way here.
Reluctantly, Christina turned around to follow the manager to the kitchen. It was fortunate for her that the manager did not recognize her.
Upon preparing the dishes, Christina pushed the small cart and walked out.
The rooms were arranged in an ordered fashion. It didn’t take her long to find the room.
After circling the entire place, Christina was astounded by the surrounding. I get it now why they only allow members here. This place is specially reserved for those famous people and celebrities. It’s scary how they party so wildly here.
She was almost done delivering the dishes on the cart, but Emilia was still out of sight.

Unable to find her target, Christina couldn’t help but feel dejected. Where is Emilia? If I can’t find her, it will be a huge loss for me! I don’t want to be a free laborer here!
“Newbie, send this bottle of wine to VIP Room 9,” commanded the manager.
Hearing that, Christina had no choice but to grab the wine from him and head to the second floor.
She found the room, knocked on the door, and entered straight away.
That room was similar to the other rooms. It was filled with smoke in the air.
She pul down the wine bottle. As she glanced up, she finally spotted Emilia. At that moment, Emilia was sitting on top of a middle–aged man. They were chatting and laughing.
The atmosphere in the room was noisy beyond words. Christina tried to eavesdrop on their conversation but to no avail. Nonetheless, the suggestiveness in their interaction inexorably sparked speculation.
No wonder I couldn’t find her. She’s here on the second floor all this while.
She pushed the cart to the corner, then took out her phone to snap a photo of Emilia.
Just when Christina was about to leave with the evidence, someone approached her and blocked her way.
“Are you dumb? Why didn’t you open the wine bottle for us?” The man spoke in a loud voice and reeked. of alcohol.
To avoid complications, Christina said, “Okay, I’ll do it now.”
She turned around to the bar table and poured the wine as told. The next moment, the man raised a glass of wine and grabbed her neck.
“Come and have a drink with me!”
Everything happened so suddenly that panic swamped Christina. Just when her mission was almost completed, she got interrupted by an alcoholic.
“I don’t drink. Let go of me.”
The man expressed his intrigue as he curled the corner of his lips into a malicious sneer. “Drink it. I’ll tip you.”
At once, he pulled down Christina’s mask and poured the wine into her mouth.
Christina almost choked on the drink. Her eyes turned red as she started coughing.
After catching a breath, she gave the man a hard slap across his face and pushed him away.
The man crashed straight onto the ground, letting out an agonized scream.
The noise attracted the others‘ attention and they swarmed over in curiosity.
Christina widened her eyes in shock. She wanted to pick up the mask from the ground, but it was impossible.
A crowd was starting to gather around them. Worried that Emilia would notice her, Christina swiftly lowered her head.
