Chapter 76 I Miss You
Just as Henry was about to drive home, his phone rang.
It was a call from one of his clients.
Upon answering it, Henry could hear the client’s trembling voice, “Mr. Miller, the other side. has gotten their hands on new evidence that’s bad for me!”
Gently stroking the steering wheel with a frown, Henry replied, “Send the details to me.”
Upon ending the call, Henry was immediately concerned by the information he received.
As someone who prioritized his career, Henry got out of his car without hesitation and went. back to his office to work.
His staff naturally lamented when they saw him return.
It wasn’t until three in the morning that Henry recalled his promise to Crystal that he would spend the night with her. He figured that she must have prepared dinner and his bath for him.
Just as he picked up his phone to call her, he realized that she must have gone to sleep by then.
In the end, he sent her a message: Something urgent came up. I’ll go straight to Cloud Hotel tomorrow evening.
No sooner had he done so than Jamie brought a stack of documents in.
“Mr. Miller, everyone’s ready for the meeting.”
Late at night in the condominium, Crystal was sprawled on the dining table with her face. illuminated by the dim yellow light.
She was finally awakened by her buzzing phone.
Upon reading the message and learning that he wasn’t coming over for the night, she stared. at it for a long time before clearing the table and draining the tub.
The water, to which she had added some essential oils, had turned cold a long time ago.
Finally, she drifted to sleep until she was awoken the next morning by Madison’s call.
When she got up and answered in a raspy voice, Madison teased her, “Why are you in bed when it’s almost ten? Did Mr. Miller’s voracious appetite drain you?”
Crystal’s checks burned as she replied, “Nonsense! He didn’t come back last night.”
Madison eased up on Crystal. “All right, all right. I just want to remind you to doll yourself up, for the battle tonight will be brutal. Even though we might not continue our careers in the education industry, we still can’t allow that b*tch to ride roughshod over us.”
Crystal was moved by how supportive Madison had been ever since her troubles started. “Thank you, Madison.”
At the other end of the line, Madison coughed lightly with a long cigarette between her lips. “Stop being so cringey, babe. Just don’t forget me when you strike it rich!”
The words brought a smile to Crystal’s face.
Upon ending the call, she remembered how Henry stood her up the evening before.
Thus, Crystal bit her lip as she ordered an aphrodisiac meal for Henry with her phone. As her mood improved with the mischievous deed, she rolled around her bed in glee.
She subsequently did nothing as she waited patiently for Henry’s response.
Half an hour later, Henry’s message arrived: I’m going to show you tonight that I don’t need this meal!
Crystal could feel her cheeks burning as she replied: Come at me then!
Crystal ignored him after that. Once she finished her food, she began to take a bath, wax herself, wash her hair, and put on a facial mask. Never in her entire life did she feel this glamorous.
Wrapped in her towel, she walked into the wardrobe and picked out a deep brown gown.
The silk outfit had a tapered design and was covered by a layer of thin lace.
Juxtaposed against her porcelain white complexion, the brown gown added to her feminine. charm. Crystal proceeded to blow her hair to give it a slight curl before spending half an hour more on makeup. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Once she was done, she looked at herself in the mirror and was impressed by what she saw.
A reddish hue tinted her cheeks when she imagined herself kissing Henry in his arms. Just the thought alone filled her with excitement.
However, upon arriving downstairs, she was greeted by the sight of a black McLaren parked by the street.
Leaning against it was a figure with long legs, dressed in a classic tuxedo.
With his shining leather shoes, the figure looked more handsome than ever before.
The sight blew Crystal away.
Henry? Didn’t he say that we’ll meet up at the hotel?
