Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 39 Henry’s Coming Back Soon (2)

Unfortunately, things went contrary to Henry’s wishes. Jamie’s flight ended up being delayed because of a problem.

Jamie gave Henry a call when she was at the airport lounge, but his phone was off because he was at court.

It wasn’t until the trial ended in the afternoon that Henry turned on his phone and received the message from Jamie. He frowned and fell into deep thought.

The assistant of his client happened to come over and mention respectfully, “Mr. Millers, our president, Mr. Lee, would like to treat you to a meal.”

Hearing that, Henry put his phone away and smiled. “Please pass Mr. Lee my gratitude. I will have to take a rain check as I have important matters to handle in Barnwood.”

As he was speaking, Mr. Lee came over and reached out to shake Henry’s hand.

Mr. Lee was an entrepreneur in his early 40s. The refined–looking man said in a friendly manner, “You were brilliant in court, Henry! I won’t keep you here since you have something important to do. Do let me have the honor of welcoming you the next time you come to Hulcaster.”

“Of course,” Henry replied gracefully.

Mr. Lee thought highly of Henry, and he even had his personal driver drive Henry to the airport. Since Jamie was delayed by half a day, she ended up taking the same flight back to Barnwood with Henry.
