Crystal tidied up the items from her backpack.
After a long flight, she felt tired and lay on the big bed.
Although she had returned to Ice city for a long time, the sheets here were clean and fresh. Erik had hired a housekeeper for a long time. She knew it.
When she turned over, she seemed to smell a masculine smell lingering around her nose.
She thought that she was overthinking. Erik's room was next to hers, how could he sleep in her bed?
When her tiredness gradually dissipated, she heard a knock on the door. Erik stood outside and looked down at his watch, reminding her that it was time to go.
Erik drove to the high-speed railway station.
On the way, Crystal couldn't help but ask, "Erik, who are we picking up?"
Erik gave her a glance and said, "You'll know when you get there!"
Crystal was quiet.
She suddenly had a vague guess.
It was not yet evening peak, so the road was not busy. An hour later, they arrived at the high-speed railway station.
Less than two minutes after they got to the exit, a train arrived and very soon a group of people walked out.
Among the crowd, a figure was the most obvious.
They were very familiar with the elegant figure.
"Lil Star?" Holly was delighted to see Crystal. She stepped forward and grabbed her hand. "That's great. You're back from Ice city! No wonder Erik said that there would be a surprise. It's you!"
Crystal smiled, "Holly!"
She was very happy to see Holly again in Francis. They grew up together, so they naturally had a good relationship.
However, when she saw Holly, she felt somewhat uncomfortable and even awkward.
This awkwardness came mostly from the bottom of her heart.
Erik said, "Holly is on a business trip and just finished a meeting in Shanghy City. She will attend a seminar in Francis and stay here for a few days!"
Crystal nodded in comprehension. "That's how it is!"
Did this count as love affair with public
expense?
Erik looked at his watch. "Are you hungry?
Let's go eat!"
Holly seemed to be hungry. When she heard his words, she nodded happily and said, "Well, You are the host. Then we sisters will enjoy a big feast!"
After leaving the high-speed railway station, the three went to a barbecue restaurant.
When entering, Crystal stopped in her tracks.
Erik once brought her here after their reunion. She still remembered two waiters.
At that time, only both of them came, but now, Holly appeared and seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.
Crystal and Holly sat side by side with Erik sitting across from them.
The ingredients of the roast meat were all delivered from abroad, and beef tasted very good. The hollow baking plate kept making a "sizzle" sound.
This time, Erik seemed to be much quieter than before.
He had been serving the two girls and roasting meat for them.
Halfway through the meal, Holly picked up the wheat tea in front of her and said with a smile, "Erik, let me propose a toast to you!
Thanks to your help in arranging the venue, otherwise, our seminar would not be able to proceed smoothly!"
Erik said, "You don't need to thank me!"
He and Holly had known each other since they were little, and now they were even friends. For a long time, she had helped him a lot, and he was always grateful to her.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
