Crystal's One Night of Love

Chapter 201

Chapter 201 Henry Has Been A Mess

It was already afternoon when Crystal woke up.

The air conditioner inside the apartment was on, causing the room to be at a comfortable temperature.

She could hear some footsteps from the living room. It was faint and barely noticeable if one did not pay

close attention.

Crystal quickly sat up.

To her surprise, Henry’s secretary, Jamie, came in and was followed by a doctor.

In a brisk tone, Jamie said, “Mr. Miller heard you were feeling sick, so he made me bring a doctor to check on you! He has an important meeting today; otherwise, he would have come himself.”

Despite still feeling a little dizzy, Crystal was embarrassed by what Jamie said.

No one knew her relationship with Henry better than Jamie. The latter had probably even overheard a lot at Henry’s condominium on Christmas Eve!

Crystal chose to ignore those memories.

She replied in a hoarse voice, “It’s just a cold. It’s not a big deal.”

With a smile, Jamie said, “But Mr. Miller is very worried about you!”

Crystal felt even more embarrassed.

On the other hand, the doctor did not talk much. After the examination, he gave Crystal a shot and left.

With that, only Jamie remained in the condominium with Crystal.

As a seasoned employee, Jamie could ignore all sorts of awkwardness. She appeared completely at ease as she put on an apron. “You should eat something lighter when you’re sick. I saw some carrots in your fridge. Let me make you some soup!” she said with a smiling face.

Not wanting to trouble Jamie so, Crystal protested.

However, Jamie gently pressed her shoulder back down. “Mr. Miller doesn’t trust anyone else. Besides, I get to have half the day off today, so I can pick up my son earlier later.”

Crystal smiled.

She knew that Jamie was close to Henry, and she often spoke cautiously

While Jamie was making the soup, she talked about things that happened after Crystal and Henry broke up. Toward the end, she sighed softly and said, “Crystal, Mr. Miller has been a mess in the past six
