Chapter 129 The Professional Miss Winters

No woman would be unmoved after hearing what Seth said..

Crystal felt flustered.

She did not know how or when she hung up.

Crystal turned around slowly.

Robert was standing behind her. She did not know how long he had stood there.

“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.
