"What's wrong with you?" asked Jean with a frown on her face as she broke free from Terence's grip. "The woman you mentioned, who is she?"

"Nothing," he answered. Staring at the innocent look on Jean's face, Terence suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood her. He frowned tightly. If it wasn't because of Jean, then why did Julia leave?

"Terence?" Jean repeated calling his name to get his attention. She was finally relieved to see Terence that way. 'He doesn't doubt me for now, ' she thought to herself.

"What's wrong?" Terence finally came to his senses and looked at Jean.

"Nothing. I just want to ask, are you free now? Would you like to have dinner with me?" Jean asked.

Since Julia left, he didn't want to stay in the room alone. After hesitating for a while, Terence agreed in the end. "I know a fine restaurant somewhere

end this as soon as possible. I think I've paid off whatever I owed you by being your mistress all this time. Don't call me anymore. I will never see you again."

"What do you mean?" Terence was fuming with anger. He hadn't said anything to end their relationship, but Julia mentioned it first. It was ridiculous.

"Let's be strangers from now on," Julia said to Terence on the phone, with a bitter smile. "I have paid off what I owed you. Please don't bother me anymore," she added.

Julia didn't know if she could say it to Terence in person, so she chose to say it on the phone.

She wanted to make it clearer. But as she wanted to say something more, the phone was hung up.

She looked at the phone in her hand and pursed her lips.

'Well, I have clarified it. I believe that Terence will not come to me again, ' she told herself.
