Chapter 27 Henry , What Are We ? After leaving the hospital , Crystal went to the detention center to see her father . John was doing all right . He seemed to have lost weight , but his health was decent . Crystal was reassured upon seeing that . She then returned to her hectic life . +5 Bonus She would work at the music center during the day . Other than her restaurant gig at night , she also taught some students in turns . It was tiring , but she could earn more . A week quickly passed by . She never met Henry in that one week , but she saw him on the entertainment news . That was how she learned that he had gone to Hulcaster . He had attended a cocktail party in the city . At the party , Henry wore a black velvet suit paired with a white shirt and a black bow tie . He was quite eye - catching among the crowd and he looked very noble . There was a beautiful lady beside him , and Henry's arm was wrapped loosely around her waist . They looked like the perfect couple . Crystal recognized the lady as a first - line actress who had won an award before . At that moment , the actress leaned lovingly against Henry , her face filled with ambition to marry into a prestigious family . Crystal slowly put down the newspaper . She felt lucky that she wasn't delusional enough to think that Henry had given her special treatment . It was only reasonable that a man like him constantly had women surrounding him . A few days later, Crystal was working part - time at the restaurant when Henry went over . He wore a navy shirt and gray slack , and a black coat completed the look . He looked mature and handsome . He came alone and he ordered some food he barely touched . He just leaned back in the chair and listened quietly to Crystal's music . Crystal didn't know why he came , so she could only ignore his passionate gaze . It was 10.00PM and the restaurant just closed its doors when Crystal gathered her things and prepared to clock out . When she left , Henry's seat was already empty . She sighed in relief but also felt that she was being rude . She should have greeted him and thanked him for taking care of her at the hospital . When she walked out of the restaurant , a golden Bentley Continental pulled up in front of her . The window lowered to reveal Henry's handsome face . 1/3 ||| O J Chapter 27 Henry , What Are We ? " Get in the car , " he said briefly . +5 Bonus Crystal hesitated , but she still opened the door of the passenger seat and got in . His car was too striking and she didn't want passersby gathering around to look . Henry started the car . A moment later , he glanced at her and reminded her , " Seatbelt . " Blushing , Crystal hastily put it on . She examined the man beside her . At the moment , he only had his shirt and slacks on , and his coat was tossed onto the back seat . When Henry noticed her gaze , he purred , " Do you think I look good ? " Huh ? Crystal's face turned even redder . His car stopped at a red light when he angled his body to gaze at Crystal with a suggestive look in his eyes . Crystal couldn't stand this ambiguous atmosphere , so she said carefully , " Mr. Miller , thank you for that day . Henry didn't say a word . Crystal gritted her teeth and added , " There's a bus stop in front . The night bus stops by here ." Henry's gaze was dark as he finally spoke up . " Crystal , stay with me for a bit . " He called her by her name again . Crystal couldn't help the softening of her heart . Henry drove to the foot of a mountain . It was a desolate place perfect for committing crimes . Crystal realized it all too late . Henry was obviously in a bad mood . He took out a cigarette and lit it , then puffed unevenly . His slender fingers were holding the cigarette outside the car as he smoked . That scene was unbelievably pleasant . It was quite cold at the foot of the mountain and as Crystal was wearing a skirt , she was soon freezing . Her nose was red and the corners of her eyes were slightly pink as well . The tints of red looked quite nice on her pale little face . Henry turned and tossed his coat to her . " Put it on . " " Thank you ." Crystal's voice was trembling slightly . She was regretting coming here with him . She had a feeling that Henry was behaving a little differently tonight . Her guess was right . After finishing the cigarette , he leaned over and kissed her . 2/3 Chapter 27 Henry , What Are We ? +5 Bonus Crystal's mind cleared a little after the unsteady kiss . She put her hands on his shoulder as she whispered , " Henry … " In a pleading voice , she asked softly , " What are we ? " Henry looked silently at her . He knew then that she was reluctant to comply .
