Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 3 Mr. Miller, Hypocritical Yet Reserved

Crystal was taken aback before she flushed with embarrassment. She lifted the paper bag in her hand and said, “I came to return your coat, Mr. Miller.”

Henry reached out and took the coat. He nodded slightly and said, “Thank you.” With that, he walked toward the elevator without saying a word.

Crystal was anxious and followed him. “Mr. Miller, I need to ask a favor from you.” Henry pressed the elevator button and when the doors opened, she followed him despite his silence.

Henry met her gaze in the mirror and smiled faintly. “He’s not that influential. Miss Winters, I like to separate my personal and professional matters.”

Crystal understood his meaning. If she wanted to have an exciting relationship with him, he would welcome it, but he wouldn’t be interested if it involved business matters.
