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!
