Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 60

Chapter 60 Tell Them That We’ll Be at the Gathering Right on the Dot

Madison quietly and excessively cussed as she reluctantly picked up the phone.

There was a tinge of hoarseness in Henry’s magnetic voice. “Why aren’t you at home? Where are you?”

Madison glanced at Crystal. F*ck! He really ate her right down to her bones! I knew something was weird when Mr. Winters recovered all of a sudden and Robert has a lot of sh*t he has to clean out of nowhere. It turns out that this was all orchestrated by Henry! I have to say, it is pretty remarkable to witness the most powerful person in the legal field speaking up for a woman.

Being the bold person she was at making the best out of human resources, Madison purposely lowered her voice and greeted, “Mr. Miller, it’s Madison White speaking. Uh–huh, I’m the one who went to university with Crystal. We met before! Yes, yes… She’s with me. She has been bawling her eyes out and has had quite a lot to drink.”

Henry had just returned home. He was now standing in front of the window, gently adjusting his necktie with his slender fingers.

Even though his movements were simple, it was elegant and pleasing to the eye.

He frowned upon hearing Madison’s words. “She has been drinking? What happened to her?”

-Madison let out a soft sigh and started fabricating a false narrative.

“Mr. Miller, are you genuinely unaware or are you pretending to be clueless? Crystal has completely fallen out with Robert because of her devotion toward you! Moreover, Robert’s ex happens to be our classmate and Crystal’s colleague. That woman sure doesn’t hold back when she tries to smear Crystal’s reputation… Crystal is really fond of children. I can only imagine how devastated she is…”

Although some of it was made up, Madison became somewhat choked up by the end of her sentence.

That past relationship has hurt Crystal too deeply.

Madison only realized she had unintentionally revealed Robert’s scandal after a prolonged period of silence from Henry. I won’t get Crystal involved by saying that, will I?

Despite her concerns, Henry interrupted and asked, “Where are you and Crystal?” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Madison didn’t dare ask any questions as she quickly gave him the address.

Her expression became somewhat complicated after the call ended. She had helped Crystal before, but she never thought that her friend could actually win over Henry Miller, the man who was out of anyone’s league in Barnwood!

A while ago, there was a famous actress who accompanied Henry to a banquet. Despite thinking she had a chance to marry into a wealthy family, she ended up not getting even a business card from him.

This incident became a joke within the entertainment industry.

Presently, Madison lightly pinched Crystal’s face and put on a motherly smile. “You made it!”

Hehe, I would be a fool to not make full use of my resources!

Madison wasted no time as she called the contact person for the class reunion.

“Both Crystal and I will attend the reunion next Saturday,” Madison said on the phone.

“Yup! Crystal is coming too.”

“Why won’t she be there? She knows she hasn’t done anything wrong.”

After saying this, Madison happily put down–her phone. Hehehe… There are a lot of people who want to see Crystal make an embarrassment of herself. I’ll let them enjoy themselves for a few days. I bet they are going to get a heart attack when the time comes!

She was in the middle of her musing when Henry arrived.

He was still in his formal work clothes, which consisted of a light gray shirt and black slacks.

With his bulging pectorals and thin waist, he was built like someone who was said to be great at lovemaking.

Other than that, he had a pair of mile–long, strong legs that Crystal could probably feel full from feasting her eyes on them.

Due to his imposing aura, the music in the background appeared to have quieted down as everyone’s gazes darted in his direction.

Henry, on the other hand, didn’t really mind the attention as he was used to being in the spotlight since he was young.

He quickly found Madison and Crystal.

While Madison was awake, Crystal was sleeping on the table.

The deafening bar was filled with the scent of sweat and hormones. However, Crystal’s petite face was so fair she was practically glowing in the dark, making the mint green dress on her body appear even cleaner.

After Henry nodded at Madison, he bent down to carry Crystal, startling the woman out of her sleep.

She looked like a frightened rabbit when she bewilderedly opened her eyes.

“I see you are still capable of feeling afraid,” Henry commented in a grouchy tone.
