Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 9 Precious Gift as Compensation

Henry was quite gentlemanly as he reached out and adjusted her skirt, then moved to button it up.

“I can do it myself,” Crystal said in a shaky voice.

She gripped the grain-sized button, but it was so slippery that she couldn’t quite do it. In the end, Henry buttoned it for her.

He apologized to her again.

To compensate, he called up Jake Murray and explained the situation with Crystal’s father to him.

Jake was quite approving of Henry, so he immediately agreed to the man’s request. Then, he scheduled a time to meet up with Crystal.

Henry chatted with Jake for a bit before hanging up.

He sat down at the desk and lit a cigarette, then said to Crystal, “Other than the lawsuit, do let me know if there’s anything else you want.”

Crystal knew that this must be their last meeting.

If it were before, Henry might fondly recall her body on occasion, but things were different now. He must have made a firm decision to set a clear boundary between them.

After all, Crystal knew her worth.
