Crystal’s One Night of Love
Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Legs For Days

Henry leaned lazily against his car and grinned. "Mesmerized, are you?"

Still, Crystal couldn't look away.

The man was dazzling, so handsome that even his idle stance made him seem like a model in

a poster.

Henry straightened his body and strode toward her, closing the gap between them to just two steps. He loomed over Crystal, fixing her with an intense. gaze.

"Were you disappointed last night?" His tone was unexpectedly serious,

Crystal blushed at his words and wanted to distance herself from him.

However, Henry had already wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her close.

Their bodies brushed against each other, and an instant connection sparked between them.

Henry leaned in and whispered into her ear, "Such a slender waist. Your dress looks good." Then, his gaze lightly swept over her long, fair legs.

As they got into the car, Crystal looked at Henry.

He was always handsome, but today he was extraordinarily so.

Noticing her gaze, he turned to her. With a smile playing on his lips, he mocked her in all seriousness, "Miss Winters, you should at least try to restrain yourself." Crystal blushed even deeper.

However, Henry leaned in and whispered into her ear again, "Don't dirty your dress, all right?"

He's such a tease!

She turned to look out the car window and said curtly, "Drive."

Henry let out a soft chuckle and stepped gently on the accelerator.

Twenty minutes later, a sleek black sports car pulled into the only six-star hotel in Barnwood.

To Crystal's surprise, the doorman recognized Henry and greeted him respectfully. "Mr.

hier are you here for a meal?

Henry responded with a dignified nod.

The car pulled into the driveway slowly. Henry parked the car in front of the hotel's entrance and unfastened Crystal's seatbelt. "There's a bit of a walk from the parking lot. Just wait here for me." Crystal eyed the heels on her feet and felt a wave of appreciation for Henry.

How can any woman resist him when he's being this considerate?

Charmed, she leaned over to kiss him.

Henry's gaze darkened as he asked in a deep voice, "Are you in such a hurry? We're at the hotel's entrance."

Crystal turned crimson.

As she got out of the car, she casually said. "I'll go first. Meet me in the banquet hall later."

Henry merely smiled and did not answer her.

As Crystal watched him drive away, she began to regret her hastiness. What if he takes off just

like that?

Madison came over right when Crystal was lost in her thoughts.

She hadn't brought her husband to the event. As Madison set sights on Crystal, she couldn't help but whisper, "My, my, Crystal. You have legs for days. I bet Mr. Miller must be obsessed with them!" Having just been teased by Henry, Crystal was too embarrassed to explain to Madison that she and Henry were still rather "innocent."

Oblivious to what was on Crystal's mind, Madison only had one question in mind.

"Where is Henry?"

Crystal gently flicked her long, brown hair and shifted uncomfortably. "He's parking the car. Let's go up first."

"The two of you are looking more like an old married couple now," Madison teased. She couldn't wait to see Clementine eating her own words and hurriedly dragged Crystal into the empty elevator. Taking advantage of that fact, Madison couldn't resist and groped Crystal's legs. "Oh, such fine legs!"

Abashed, Crystal shot the woman an affronted look, to which Madison responded with a cheery grin.

Upon reaching the banquet hall level, the elevator doors swung open to reveal Clementine waiting by the grand entrance.

She was garbed in a strikingly vivid red dress for the evening, a choice both audacious and grand.

Madison smiled and commented, "Quite festive, isn't she?"

A swift glance around the hall, and her eyes locked onto Robert.

He was seated at the best spot in the hall and had obviously noticed them too.

A touch of astonishment flickered across the man's eyes.

He had always been aware of Crystal's beauty, but tonight, she was different. She was radiating a mature charm that beckoned men toward her, an allure that incited the primal desire in men to hold her close and get to know her more intimately.

Leaning over to Crystal, Madison whispered, "I bet Clementine has positioned herself next to Robert. She hasn't given up on outshining you."

Crystal was rendered speechless.

She had no ties with Robert now, so Clementine was merely tilting at windmills.

Besides, her effort in dressing up was not for Robert's sake. It was rather more about the commitment she had made to Henry.

After all, he had said that it would be a long night for them.
