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.
Back in the banquet hall, Clementine felt utterly humiliated. She had put in a lot of effort to attain her desires, while Crystal seemed to effortlessly achieve what she wanted. She felt like a complete joke. Frustrated, she reached for a bottle of liquor and poured herself a drink.
Forcing a smile, she declared, “One bottle costs thousands. We’re having it for free today, thanks to Crystal!”
Her eyes turned red as she turned to look at Robert.

A tipsy Clementine shouted behind him, “Robert, you b*stard! I love you! I love you more than Crystal does!”
Robert whirled around and sneered, “Your love is too cheap!”
Hearing that, Clementine burst into tears.
The class reunion concluded on a bitter note, leaving those in attendance completely taken aback.
Crystal followed Henry to the underground parking.
Hopping into the driver’s seat, she removed her heels and mumbled, “I should’ve brought my flats along.”
Crystal’s legs were finely shaped and gorgeous.
‘Henry leaned back into the chair, his gaze fixed on her. Crystal felt her cheeks flush at the intensity of his gaze.
In a low voice, he asked, “How can you drive barefoot? Should we get a room upstairs?”
Crystal was a virgin, so she still felt shy. Cupping his cheeks, she said softly, “Let’s get at designated driver?”
Henry said nothing as his gaze turned dark.
A moment later, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her onto his lap.
Crystal gave him a soft punch. “We’re still in the parking lot,” she reminded him.
“We shared a kiss in the parking lot before,” he whispered. His warm breath fanned against. her cheeks as he pressed his nose gently against hers, their breaths mingling with each other.
As he was clearly aroused, Crystal caved in eventually.
Under the influence of alcohol, he deviated from his usual self and surrendered to his desires.
Given his remarkable kissing skills, Crystal found herself melting into his embrace within a matter of moments. Cupping his cheeks tenderly, they engaged in a passionate kiss that ignited a rising temperature within the confines of the car.
