Chapter 30 Henry's Decision Crystal was a little charmed . Her slender fingers caressed her phone . After some hesitation , she decided not to reply right away . Instead , she would send it half an hour later . ' Sorry , Mr. Miller . I fell asleep .' Meanwhile , Henry was holding a glass of wine in his hand . When he saw Crystal's message , he chuckled lightly . Miss Winters ' reserved attitude is a little cute , he thought . He didn't reply to the message as he slowly sipped the wine in the goblet . In the next few days , Henry never appeared again . However , he would send Crystal a WhatsApp message or two every so often . Sometimes he would send a photo or some sentences . The tone in those messages seemed lazy but was filled with the unique aura of a mature man . Crystal / didn't reply all the time . However , they knew very well the ambiguous situation between them . Early in the morning , Crystal received a phone call from Henry on her way to work . She hesitated before picking up . " Mr. Miller ? " Henry was sitting in his car with a document placed on his knees . It was the document for John's case . He remembered that when he asked Jake for the documents last night , Jake had smiled meaningfully and said , " Henry , why did you change your mind ? Is it because of Miss Winters ? She looks decent to me , and Seth likes her too … " Back then , Henry just smiled faintly and asked Jake not to tell Crystal . He said he would think about it a little longer . Right now , Henry was flipping through the document as he said to Crystal , " I'll be on a business trip for one week . When I come back … let's meet up . I have something to say to you ." Crystal couldn't figure out what was going on , but she knew that she wouldn't lose anything if she were on good terms with Henry . And so , she whispered a ' yes '. Henry suddenly felt his heart softening . He lowered his voice and purred as if talking to a lover , " Why are you so obedient and soft ? Don't you know that men will bully you if you behave like this ? " Crystal's face turned red and she couldn't say anything for a long while . Henry chuckled and let her off . After ending the call , he looked at the document for a long time . Making this decision wasn't merely a trade to him , for it also contained his pity for Crystal . He decided he would do this as compensation for her . 1/2 E1 Chapter 30 Henry's Decision +5 Bonus On the other end , Crystal put down her phone , trying to guess what Henry would talk to her about a week later . She was so occupied with her thoughts that she almost missed her stop . She hurried to the music center . When she clocked in , her colleagues were looking at her with a weird expression . Crystal didn't understand why , but in the end , a colleague she was close to told her secretly , " Crystal , the director knows about you working a part - time job outside , so you'll probably be summoned to her office later . I heard that Clementine was the one who snitched . You and Clementine joined the music center at the same time , and you've been so good at teaching that the talented students keep taking lessons from you . She has been upset about this for a long time , and now she has finally found a chance . " Crystal was stunned to hear that . The colleague whispered many more things , like how everyone could understand her current predicament and such . Just then , the director's assistant walked over to them and politely asked Crystal to go with her . Crystal followed the assistant to the director's office on the second floor . Then , the assistant knocked on the door . " Miss Long , Miss Winters is here ." " Come in , " a female voice said . Crystal opened the door and went in . Emelia Long was a woman in her 40s , and she was very capable . At the moment , she was sitting at the office desk with her head buried in documents . When Crystal came in , she gestured for the latter to sit . Crystal wanted to explain , but Emelia held up a hand to stop her . " Yes , Clementine was the one who told me about it , but I pretended to close an eye because your family is in trouble . But Crystal , since yesterday , I've been receiving calls from parents who knew about you working part - time outside , and they all insisted that you be switched out . I've received dozens of calls in just one day ! You know that the children who take lessons at our music center all come from wealthy and prestigious backgrounds . Even Mr. Watson wouldn't dare to offend them , much less me . " Of course , Crystal knew what Emelia meant when she said that . She didn't want to cause trouble for the director who had helped her so much , nor could she stubbornly stay here . Crystal gently took off her name tag and placed it on the desk , saying softly , " Thank you for taking care of me all these years ." 2/2 Chapter 31 A Dog Couple , Together Forever
