Chapter 148 The Night Of Christmas Eve

Crystal felt as if her face was on fire.

Every time she felt shy, her cheeks would turn a shade of rosy hue which made her look all the more captivating.

Ritchie’s gaze was completely fixated on her.

“Charles has left.” Crystal tried to sound calm.

Ritchie nodded in response.

He looked at Crystal and said, “My car is in for maintenance, so I took a taxi here. Do you mind giving me a ride?”

Smiling politely, she said to Ritchie, “All right! Send me your address.”

Ritchie didn’t have much dating experience, but it didn’t mean that he didn’t know about dating at all. Easy enough, he obtained Crystal’s number and sent her his address,

Crystal was quite surprised that his place was rather close to hers.

After gesturing for him to get in the car, she started the engine.

On the way, Madison did most of the talking.
