Chapter 16 Inviting Her for a Drink at Night
After work, Henry declined a few invitations and drove to the restaurant.
+25 Bonus
It was 8.00PM, and business was booming at the restaurant. Crystal sat in front of the piano and started playing.
She was wearing an ash–gray dress today. Her shoulders were slightly exposed, and her long, brown hair fell smoothly at her waist.
She looked extremely beautiful and romantic.
Henry watched her through the glass for about 10 minutes, then got out of the car. He opened the door and walked in.
Following that, he ordered some food and didn’t mind what he was eating as he leaned back leisurely, listening to Crystal’s playing.
Henry noticed that several gentlemen would try to talk to Crystal at times, and it seemed like they were also attracted to Crystal.
Meanwhile, Crystal always declined them politely.
During the intermission, Crystal received a name card.
The name card read ‘Justice Law Firm, Henry Miller, Lawyer‘.
Stunned, Crystal angled her body and caught sight of Henry.
He was sitting in a corner while holding a glass of aperitif in his hand. He was very nice–looking, and even his simple actions were a sight to behold.
Crystal didn’t want to talk to him, but she was even more scared of offending him.
She eventually walked over to the man.
“Mr. Miller.”
Henry nodded slightly and gestured for her to sit.
Crystal had just taken a seat when Henry noticed a new pinprick on the back of her hand. He guessed that it must be because she had gotten soaked in the rain last night.
“Have you eaten, Miss Winters? Let’s dine together.”
Henry behaved sensibly, completely void of the ruthless act he had put on when he tossed the name card earlier.
Crystal placed the name card on the table and said in a slightly reserved tone, “There’s a rule in the restaurant that employees cannot dine with customers during their shifts.”
Henry couldn’t be bothered to look at the name
pard.
He then asked her straightforwardly, “What about after work? Do you have time to get a drink at my place?”
