Chapter 70 Joshua Quinn A lengthy silence ensued before Madison commented, âMr. Miller sure knows what heâs doing.â
Crystal snatched the phone back.
No matter how many questions Madison bombarded her with, she wouldnât reveal any details.
She couldnât bring herself to tell Madison that they didnât have sex even though Henry had spent much time with her during last nightâs session.
Just as Madison was about to make fun of her friend, a certain piece of news was broadcasted on the screen inside the cafe.
The famous pianist, Joshua Quinn, had returned to the country for a tour across a few major cities.
The lively scene was crowded with many reporters.
Madison snorted. âJoshua Quinn, the pride of Chanaeans. He has many fans, and his concerts are difficult to attend. Who wouldâve thought he was a poor brat who couldnât even. pay rent twenty-five years ago?â
Naturally, as a pianist, Crystal knew who Joshua was.
She admired him. Since she was a student, her teachers had commented that her playing style resembled Joshuaâs.
Hearing that delighted her because Joshua was a prominent figure.
When she heard the news about him again, she could feel her passion for playing the piano coursing through her veins.
Maybe Henryâs suggestion is right. Perhaps I should study in the Kingdom of Brundela after all this is over.
Upon noticing the distracted look on her friendâs countenance, Madison asked, âWhatâs the matter, Crystal?â
âItâs nothing.â Crystal smiled.
Turning to the screen, Madison abruptly commented, âDid you notice Joshuaâs umbidextrous like you, Crystal? How rare.
Crystal paid close attention to the screen and confirmed that Madisonâs observation was correct.
Unknowingly, she chuckled. âMaybe itâs because we both play the pianoâ
Madison nudged her friend. âAre you kidding me? The possibility of that is extremely low, okay? Being ambidextrous has nothing to do with playing the piano. All I can say is that itâs a coincidence.â
âI know.â Crystalâs gaze remained affixed on the elegant man on the screen.
âIf I hadnât read your sensual text message with Mr. Miller, I wouldâve thought youâd fallen. for an older man.â
Immediately, Crystal shot her friend a glare.
Madison pleaded, âForgive me. In any case, we should focus on what to wear for the class. reunion. We must look better than Clementine!â
Crystal had no intention of comparing herself with Clementine. However, because Henry would also be there, she thought she shouldnât embarrass him.
She picked two pairs of high heels and redid her hair.
After she was done, she observed herself in the mirror and thought she looked great.
Upon returning home in a cab, she lay on the couch and called Henry. The phone rang for a long while before he picked it up.
âAre you coming back tonight?â
Henry chuckled. âWas last night so amazing that you want more today?â
Crystalâs face turned red as she kept quiet.
Standing on the second-floor balcony of the Miller Residence, he brushed his finger past a white curtain and continued, âA friend of my dad has returned from the Kingdom of Brundela. Heâll be here soon, so I canât join you tonight.â
Kingdom of Brundela? What a coincidence! Joshua is returning from there as well. Crystal beamed. âGive him a warm welcome, then.â
Henry nodded. He was about to say something when someone shouted at him from behind.
He turned around and spotted a cool, elegant middle-aged man staring at him.
Upon bidding Crystal goodbye, he hung up the call. âItâs been a while, Mr. Quinn.â
Indeed, the man was Joshua, a close friend of David for many years.
