Chapter 104


    Chapter 104 She Is A Client


    Even when Crystal stepped out of the concert hall, a faint sense of regret lingered within her.


    Sophia tugged at her hand. “I’m hungry, Miss Winters.”


    Crystal knew of a pretty good Irushean restaurant just across the street, so she headed there with


    Sophia.


    Sophia was only fourteen years old. She rarely had such a chance and was over the moon.


    Shortly after, they arrived at the restaurant.


    The instant Crystal stepped in, she caught sight of the man who had told her that he had to work


    overtime–Henry.


    He was having dinner with a mature and elegant woman. She had seen the woman previously, for he


    had also dined with her at the restaurant where she yed the piano back then.


    Hmm, what’s their rtionship?


    Her mind inexorably ran wild.


    He told me he had to work overtime tonight. So, this is what he meant by that!


    There were indeed a few documents on the dining table, but they were stacked neatly and ced


    aside.


    At that moment, Henry had a ss of brandy in his hand. His lips were curved into an enchanting


    smile, and he was seemingly in high spirits.


    The same went for the woman.


    Her voice was gentle and seductive. “I look forward to our coboration next time, Henry


    Henry’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.


    The woman was the widow of a wealthy Hawen businessman. Her husband passed away all of a


    sudden, leaving hundreds of billions. He was merely acting as herwyer regarding the case, and their


    rtionship was far from the point she could call him Henry.


    Just as he was about to reply to that, he saw Crystal.


    A girl sat beside her, whom he recognized as Jake’s daughter, Sophia.


    Crystal went to the concert with Sophia?


    Probably noticing that he was distracted, the woman prompted, “Henry?”


    Henry inclined his head at her detachedly. “Excuse me for a second.” He got to his feet and walked


    over to Crystal’s table, nting himself on the seat next to her. “Why are you having dinner here?”


    Flipping through the menu, Crystal murmured, “I didn’t feel like having fried chicken today. I wanted to


    have something different.”


    Her words dripped with jealousy.


    Henry drummed his fingers on the table lightly and rified softly, “She’s a client.”


    Crystal cast her gaze over, only to see the woman studying her with narrowed eyes, making it clear that


    she regarded her as a love rival.


    Crystal was no fool.


    Having heard her call Henry by his name, she surmised the woman had a romantic interest in the man.


    It was also evident that he tacitly approved of it. Otherwise, they would not be discussing work at such


    a ce.


    She retracted her gaze and helped Sophia to ce an order.


    Henry blocked her sight of the menu, being rude in public for once.


    Crystal remained very much restrained as she chided softly, “Don’t scare Sophia!”


    Henry nced at the girl.

    She was staring at him with wide eyes, making it so that the words got stuck in his throat. He gave


    Crystal a long look.


    Crystal calmly ordered dinner, appearing beyond calm and unruffled.


    Henry lowered his voice and said, “We’ll discuss this further at home.” After saying that, he returned to


    his table gracefully.


    With passion brimming in her eyes, the beautiful widow asked awkwardly, “Are they your friends,


    Henry?”


    After taking a sip of brandy, Henry fibbed nonchntly, “They’re my wife and daughter.”


    The widow was promptly taken aback.


    He’s not even thirty years old. Yet, he already has a wife and daughter? But then, his age doesn’t quite


    match


    his im.


    Henry did not want to continue being entangled with her. He bluntly rebuffed her advances. In truth, he


    would have likely been much more tactful if he had not bumped into Crystal. After all, hismission


    this time was twelve billion.


    The woman had her pride, and she could tell that the man had no interest in her.


    She willingly ended the meal and took her leave.


    Henry saw her to her car and extended a hand. “See you, Madam Quilley.”


    The woman had a hand resting on the car door, a resentful expression on her face. “What a pity you


    got married so young, Mr. Miller.”


    Henry shed her a smile and gentlemanly held the car door open for her.


    Left with no other choice, the woman could only get into the car.


    Henry was about to go back to the restaurant when a Land Rover screeched to a stop before him.


    The car door swung open, upon which Seth jumped down from the vehicle.
