Chapter 90 Truly Love Him
Miss Long?
Crystal guessed it was the music center’s director, Emelia Long. Emelia was kind to Crystal in the past, so she couldn’t reject her invitation.
Crystal returned the call.
On the phone, Emelia didn’t say much. She merely chirped, “I have some good news. We’ll talk about it at lunch.”
Crystal’s interest was piqued.
She had two or three hours before lunch, so she decided to take measurements of the curtains for the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and even took pictures of the condominium, planning to visit some furniture stores in the afternoon.
At noon, Crystal met Emelia at a restaurant. The latter, being a southerner, liked spicy food, so Crystal accompanied her to eat her preferred cuisine. Soon, Crystal flushed from the spiciness.
Only when they were almost done eating did Emelia finally get down to business. “Do you know Clementine has been collectively boycotted by the parents of the kids at the music center?”
Crystal was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask, “How did that happen? A few days ago, I saw her getting along with those parents. She seemed to be on good terms with them.”
Emelia flashed a knowing smirk. “Crystal, do you really not know, or are you feigning ignorance?”
Crystal composed herself and asked hesitantly, “Does it have something to do with me?”
Emelia stopped beating around the bush and cut to the chase. “It’s actually related to the famous lawyer, Mr. Miller. Your attendance at a class reunion with him had an astonishing effect. Crystal, those parents are all shrewd, and they now want to curry favor with Henry through you.” Emelia shrugged. “They clamored to replace Clementine and want you to teach their children.”
Human emotions are fickle. Crystal smiled faintly.
Emelia could tell what Crystal was thinking but didn’t dwell on it. “It’s fine even if you don’t want to come back. If it were me, I wouldn’t want to put up with this nonsense. No matter mentine won’t stay much longer in the music center. I heard someone can’t stand Unlock succeeded

Crystal could guess who that someone was. It must be Robert!
She had broken up with Robert, but that man still managed to worm his way into her world. However, Crystal was unfazed.
Emelia tactfully said no more, nor did she ask about Crystal and Henry’s relationship. In any case, it’s likely complicated!
After lunch, Emelia had to go back to clean up the mess Clementine had made and quickly left.
Crystal collected her thoughts.
She didn’t want to dwell on the past. Regardless of Robert’s intention, she couldn’t allow him. to affect her anymore. She had to forget about him completely.
Crystal took a cab to the furniture store.
She chose a Baroque-style fabric and ordered a set of floor-to-ceiling curtains. Then, she also selected a large and a small vase with similar color scheme. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Just those items cost three hundred and forty thousand.
Nonetheless, Crystal didn’t feel reluctant to spend the money because she felt the Morning Dew piano deserved the best accompaniment.
The store manager swiped her card and respectfully presented a small gift. “Miss Winters, we will deliver and install the goods before four o’clock this afternoon. Please rest assured.”
Crystal responded with a smile.
After that, she casually strolled around the store and picked up a few nice lace tablecloths and decorations. Her mood brightened up as she managed to buy the items she liked. She sent Henry a message on WhatsApp, informing him not to come home until after six o’clock.
Henry swiftly replied her message: Understood, Miss Winters.
Looking at those few words, Crystal felt her heart flutter. She realized that she might have actually fallen for Henry.
Nevertheless, she didn’t feel ashamed because Henry was the kind of man any woman would like.
Upon returning to the condominium, the installation workers quickly put up the curtains, and the effect was even better than Crystal had imagined, creating an impressive sight when paired with Morning Dew. put some fresh flowers in the vases and placed the beautiful lace tablecloths and decorations where they should go. When she was done, the entire condominium underwent a significant transformation as it gave off a more conducive vibe.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Crystal thought it was the installation workers returning, so she immediately went to answer the door. Unexpectedly, she saw Henry standing outside.
Crystal blushed. “Don’t you have a key? Why did you ring the doorbell?”
Henry wrapped his arms around her slender waist, pressing her against the cabinet beside the entrance.
