Crystal's One Night of Love

Early in the morning. Henry was immersed in paperwork at his office.

Jamie pushed the door open and came in. In a hushed voice, she said, “Mr. Miller, Miss Anderson’s agent has been trying to reach you several times. He would like to have a word with you.

Henry’s tone turned frosty. “I’m not interested. Kindly spare me such news in the future.”

Jamie nodded and headed out to convey the message.

Victoria’s career took a nosedive after what Henry did.

Edith, seated next to Crystal, held her breath, afraid to even blink.

Unexpectedly, Crystal’s response wasn’t fiery. Instead, it was calmly measured. “How much is her usual. fee?”

“Twenty million!”

Crystal rose from her seat, a plan forming in her mind. Tell her to bring her price quote to Seeas Corporation.”

That afternoon, Victoria came into the company.

Crystal met her in the gym room.

Victoria was always one to strut her stuff. She was confident in her youth, wealth, and fame. Thus, she considered herself to be in much better circumstances than someone like Crystal

However, the sight of Crystal working out made her falter.
