Chapter 1493
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. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
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.
Holly was also aware of this, so she did not stand on ceremony. "Cheers!"
They smiled knowingly.
Crystal could only felt that they were very intimate.
When the soft light scattered down, it seemed that there was a thin layer of sweetness between them. She suddenly felt that she was extra.
She lowered her head and ate quietly without appetite.
By the time they finished eating, it was already very dark outside.
A cool night wind blew in through Crystal's collar. She couldn't help but shudder slightly.
Erik immediately took off his coat, and said, "Put it on!"
"No need!" Crystal shook her head. She glanced at Holly, who had just stepped out of the bathroom, from the corner of her eyes. "Erik, you can give it to Holly!"
After that, she slid into the car.
Erik was stiff.
Holly was on a business trip, and there were many colleagues coming with her. They would stay in hotel.
It was already a little late. The three of them did not have any other activities after dinner. Erik drove Holly back.
Then he and Crystal went home together.
The night grew darker.
Erik held the steering wheel with one hand, his eyes were as deep as the night outside the window, and many of his emotions were hidden in them.
He really wanted to smoke a cigarette, to comfort himself.
However, he held back himself after a thought.
Along the way, Crystal was also very quiet. She seemed to be tired. She leaned slightly against the seat and turned her face towards the window.
Although she grew up with Holly and she had always been very confident, she was still inferior to Holly. She was still a student now, but Holly had already graduated from university and entered society.
She had always worshipped Holly.
If such an outstanding girl would be with
Erik and even become her sister-in-law, she should be happy for them.
Lovers would eventually be married.
Crystal firmly closed her eyes.
After getting home, she did not immediately go to bed, but took out a suitcase from the cabinet.
The next morning.
While eating breakfast, Crystal took the initiative to speak. "Erik, I plan to move back!"
If she continued to live here, she would suffocate!
"Move back?" Erik stopped eating.
"Yes!" She nodded. She tilted her head and smiled. "I have been disturbing you for a semester, and it's time to move back! I called the landlord and he said that there are more security measures in the neighborhood, and there would be no more thefts. Moreover, I want to study harder! And..."
She paused and winked deliberately. "Holly is in Francis now. It's not very convenient for me to live here! Hey, am I a good sister?"
Erik's arms became stiff. He asked in a low voice, "Lil Star, have you thought it over?" Crustal said. "Yes, I've packed up all my things!"
Erik suddenly stood up.
The chair made a harsh noise.
She lightly pursed her lips.
After a long while, when she felt an invisible chill, Erik turned out of the dinning room, "I will send you back."
"Thank you!" Crystal grinned.
When she lowered her head, the smile on her face faded away bit by bit.
