Chapter 160 I Cannot Do This

The words struck a chord with Crystal.

Ever since she graduated, Emelia had helped her a lot and had become her defacto mentor and friend.

Watching her leaving silhouette, Crystal couldn’t help but be filled with a sense of dread.

After giving it some thought, she headed to the front desk.

“Can you check on Emelia’s recent attendance?”

The receptionist acknowledged her words with a smile.

In less than five minutes, it was shown that Emelia would take a day off every three days over the last two weeks, a discovery that unsettled Crystal further.

Since Emelia didn’t want to talk about it, Crystal respected her privacy and took the initiative in taking on more of her work.

After a busy day at work, she received a call from Henry.

Upon learning what he wanted, she agreed softly, holding the phone in her hand.

The meticulously preparation she had made caused her to blush.

Not daring to delve into the topic, she gently pressed on the accelerator and drove off.

Upon reaching Henry’s condominium, she had expected him to pounce on her immediately given his character and lack of patience. However, she was surprised to find him busy with work.

His luggage was left in the living room, while he was inside the study, taking a call that seemed to be related to a new case.

Gazing deeply at Crystal, he maintained a serious tone while speaking on the phone.
