Chapter 81 Kissing In The Car
Henry didn’t say anything.
Clementine wasn’t ready to back down at that moment. Intent on showcasing her connections, she confidently informed the deans, “I happen to know the manager of this restaurant. They have graciously agreed to provide us with a five percent discount on our bill.”
The deans promptly praised her for that.
Clementine’s gaze fell on Henry as she continued, “You see, this is an upscale restaurant that rarely offers discounts unless one has strong connections.”
While everyone gazed at her in surprise, Clementine thought that Henry would change hist mind about her.
Pleased, she waited eagerly for his response.
Ha! Crystal might be prettier than me, but when it comes to other aspects, she simply cannot compare!
Right then, a male baritone sounded at the door of the hall. “Henry, you’re here!”
It was Oliver Lee, manager of the restaurant.
Shaking Henry’s hand warmly, Oliver uttered, “I overheard my employees mention that you. had visited my modest restaurant for a meal. I couldn’t believe it myself, so I hurried here. It’s truly astonishing to see you in person!”
Henry flashed a modest smile. “Please don’t say that, Mr. Lee.”
“Oh, Henry. We’ve known each other for years, so stop calling me ‘Mr. Lee’ like we’re strangers!” Oliver exclaimed.
His gaze landed on Crystal, who was standing beside Henry.
Seeing that, Henry made the introductions. “This is my girlfriend, Crystal Winters. I’m here to attend her class reunion.”
Oliver gave a polite bow and shook Crystal’s hand.
With the demeanor of a seasoned businessperson, he smoothly complimented, “Crystal, you possess both beauty and grace.”
Crystal flashed a graceful smile.
Having been rescued by Henry from an important case that involved a potential prison sentence, Oliver recognized this as the perfect opportunity to repay the favor. Seizing the chance, he swiftly used Crystal as an excuse, stating, “Since this is our first encounter, and I didn’t prepare any gifts for you, allow me to take care of your bill today.”
The bill had totaled up to hundreds of thousands, so Crystal didn’t think it was a good idea. She didn’t want Henry to owe someone else a favor.
Nevertheless, Henry accepted the gesture readily. Wrapping an arm around Crystal’s shoulders, he replied cheerfully, “Thanks for your generosity, Mr. Lee. I’ll treat you to a meal one day.”
Oliver knew why he was in a rush to leave.
They are eager to have sex, huh?
He saw Henry off personally, taking the elevator downstairs.
