Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 129 The Professional Miss Winters

“Thank you for your kind gesture, Mr. Sloan,” Crystal said calmly. “I appreciate it.”

As there was no need for small talk between them, Crystal turned to leave after those words.

Robert caught her arm.

“Crystal!”

His tone was urgent. It sounded as if he was afraid that she would disappear.
