Chapter 112 Lecture Henry returned to the condominium with a grim expression.
When Crystal saw that, she asked. âWhatâs the matter?â
Henry fixed his gaze on her.
She had already changed into a darkâcolored dress with flower patterns and was wearing a champagneâcolored suit, her coffeeâcolored hair resting behind her.
Henry gestured for her to approach him with a wave of his hand, and she sauntered toward him.
He placed his hand on her shoulder and asked, âI called Madam Anna earlier, and she told me it was your birthday a few days ago. How about I make it up to you on Saturday?â
Crystal was pleasantly surprised.
He kissed her lightly for a while and said, âSend me to my office.â
Somethingâs bothering him. I bet itâs related to that person in his heart. I donât think I should ask him about it, though. Crystal wrapped her arms around his neck and said, âI can send you to work every day if you want.â
Henry smiled. He patted her body lazily and went to the dressing room to change his clothes.
Crystal approached the Morning Dew and stroked it. Henryâs a good lover, but heâs not a good man. He dotes on me, but he refuses to love me. Iâm glad I realized that early. Otherwise, I would be so enamored with him that I would confess to him and tell him I wanted to stay with him forever. Even if my brain is made of rock, I can still predict how heâll respond to that.
âCrystal.â When Henry stepped out, he noticed she was lost in her thoughts.
Crystal sized him up and flashed a faint smile. âYouâre looking handsome today, Mr. Miller!â
Henryâs lips curved upward.
During their ride to the office, they didnât speak a word to each other. It wasnât until he alighted from the car that he said, âI may be a bit busy in the next few days.â
âI know... youâre busy.â Crystal was very understanding.
In response, Henry kissed her.
Crystal held the steering wheel and joked, âItâs only a few days, yet weâre acting like an old couple. Even kissing feels like an official affair now.â
Henry was initially in a pretty bad mood, but when he heard that, he seemed to have come alive again. âJust wait. Iâll take care of you once Iâve finished my work!â
âIâll be waiting, then.â Crystal smiled, then watched as he entered the building. It seems that the woman. the atomic bomb in his life, has really returned.
Crystal didnât think too much about it.
She met Emelia at a cafe. When the latter rushed into the building, she removed her sunglasses. âItâs so hot...
She emptied a cup of iced coffee in one go before settling down on a chair. âAh, thatâs better.
After that, she started talking about the issue of finding a place to rent.
Crystal pushed a contract toward her. âI think this will interest you.â
With a raised eyebrow, Emelia read the document in detail and was taken aback. Holy cr*p!A brand new building of four hundred square meters that only asks for five hundred thousand of yearly rent? How did she get so lucky?
She kissed Crystal on the cheek. âI love you, Crystal! It mustâve been difficult getting this contract!â
Emelia was single, but that didnât prevent her from imagining an erotic story between Crystal and Henry. Just imagining it excites me!
âItâs not hard, actually.â Crystal uncomfortably twirled her hair. âHe gave it to me on his own accord.â
That news satisfied Emelia. âA woman has to plan for herself. Just staying with him mindlessly wonât guarantee anything from him. You must obtain something more concrete for yourself from him, which you did. You have my thanks on this matter.â
She raised Crystalâs total shares to forty percent, which the latter found fair.
They had a wonderful time drinking coffee and chatting with each other.
Emelia knew Crystal was good friends with Madison, so she asked, âWhatâs going on with Madison lately? Didnât her husband decide to turn over a new leaf? Why did I see him entering a hotel with Clementine again last night?â
Crystal was stunned and lost in her thoughts for a while. She stirred her collee slowly and said, âPerhaps Madison doesnât know.â
As Emelia was an outsider, she didnât continue the topic.
However, it bothered Crystal a lot.
After she got into her car, she called Madison. Before she could say anything, Madison cut straight to the point. âYouâre calling because youâre wondering about Zacharyâs affair with Clementine, right?â
Crystal sighed.
With a tense, slightly trembling voice, Madison continued, âThereâs nothing I can do. I know heâs a terrible person who canât change, but I love him. Furthermore, my family relied on him for years. I know you look down on me for this, Crystal, but please donât tell me to divorce him. I canât do it, Crystal. It just isnât possible for me to go through with it. As long as he doesnât bring Clementine home, I can ignore his infidelity.â
Listening to that, Crystal didnât feel it was appropriate to advise her friend.
However, Madison was her best friend. She couldnât just sit by and watch.
She invited Madison to drink and sing.
Madison drank a lot of wine as she laughed and cried. âWhy are we both so unlucky, Crystal? We were cheated on because of Clementine! Why is she so powerful? I donât understand why men desire her when sheâs uglier than us. Is it because sheâs a sl*t?â
Crystal thought about it and nodded. âSheâs lucky enough to always meet people who are willing to accept her.â
Lying on the table, Madison muttered, âI canât believe she managed to fool that b*stard Zachary! Do you know Clementine was almost beaten to death when she went to Robertâs place last time? Also, she didnât seduce Henry. He didnât even look at her.
Only Zachary is stupid enough to fall for her!â
In the end, Madison clutched onto the toilet bowl and vomited.
After she sobered up a little. Crystal hugged her and said, âYou should divorce him, Madison.â Sheâs only twentyâfour years old, and sheâs beautiful. Zachary doesnât deserve her. Itâs better for her to stop and either advance her career or find a new man.
Either option is better for her than this!
Madison was momentarily stunned. She mumbled, âI want a divorce too, but Iâm not happy about it. I canât believe my years of relationship with him is incomparable to his relationship with a b*tch.â
Crystalâs heart sank. She called Zachary, wanting him to pick Madison up.
To her surprise, he answered the call. However, he wasnât interested in doing as Crystal requested. âStop butting into our relationship, Crystal. Just because I cheated doesnât mean sheâs free of any faults. No man can stand her temper.â
Crystal snapped, âIf you canât handle her, then just divorce her! After that, you can hook up with any wyman you want. Why must you do it with someone we know? Itâs fine if you want to mess around alone, but we women donât want to use the public restroom every day, Zachary!â
Zachary stared at the phone in disbelief. Is this really Crystal hy is her temper even worse than my wifeâs? She is so fierce! What does Henry like about her? Does he like her scolding him and calling him a public restroom?
Coincidentally, Zachary was at a dinner with Henry.
Henry thought Madison was checking in on Zachary, âIs Madison pissing you off again?â.
Zachary smirked. âItâs your woman, Mr. Miller. She called me a public restroom. How about you lecture her a bit?â
