Chapter 171 This Ends Here
Henry was in a meeting on the other end of the call.
His voice was gentle. “I’m still in a meeting and will be back before nine. By the way, Jamie’s going over to collect a document. It’s on my desk in my study. Please pass it to her.”
Crystal acknowledged with a soft hum.
She didn’t hang up immediately, for she missed him.

Crystal waited for twenty minutes, but Jamie didn’t come. She called instead, and she sounded anxious over the phone.
Jamie’s voice sounded anxious. “Crystal, my child is running a fever, so I must hurry home. Could you please help me deliver a document? It’s the one on Mr. Miller’s desk.”
As Crystal was quite close to her, she agreed to help.
Jamie couldn’t thank her enough.
Crystal went to the study, grabbed the document, and headed downstairs to drive to the firm.
I can come home with Henry later after his meeting is over. He’d be surprised to see the decorations I put up. Crystal’s lips curled into a smile.
In the darkness of the night, a white BMW traversed the busy roads and stopped in front of Adroit Law Firm after about half an hour.
Crystal went upstairs and was surprised to see the lights were turned off almost everywhere.
There was no one in Henry’s office except for his other secretary-Sarah, who didn’t expect to see Crystal. “Mr. Miller left in a hurry half an hour ago after receiving a call.”
Crystal’s expression changed slightly.
Sarah thought Henry had left for his Valentine’s date but soon realized she might have been wrong when she saw the look on Crystal’s face.
Cautiously, she observed Crystal’s expression.
