"You're coming with me to the charity gala tomorrow? But..." Crystal Foster was about to refuse when Henry quickly stepped in to stop her.
"Ma'am, the funds raised at this charity gala will go to help children in the mountains with their education. You're beautiful and kind-hearted; how could you not attend such an event?"
Here he goes again, Crystal thought to herself. "I didn't say I wouldn't go. It's just that charity galas usually require donations, and I don't seem to have anything worth donating."
Martin Riley looked up, "I've got that covered. I heard this fashion gala will also showcase some accessories. See if there's anything you like, and we can bid on it together."
Crystal stared at Martin in disbelief, surprised that such words came from him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? What, are you worried that a few auction items will drain my bank account?"
