The day after meeting with Jean, Julia decided to call Terence. She requested him to go with her to the Civil Affairs Bureau in order to go through the divorce procedures. But he refused her.

"What? Why won't you go with me?" Jean asked Terence with a frown. "We have become estranged from each other. Are you still holding onto a possibility of us getting back together?"

Terence smiled behind the phone and said, "Don't worry. I will definitely divorce you, but you have to understand that I'm really busy. I just don't have enough time to process our divorce."

"Fine! If you're not free today, may I ask, when are you available? Don't lie to me, Terence." Julia grew upset so she started firing questions, but Terence kept prevaricating flawlessly.

A few days had gone by. Julia kept calling and asking about the divorce, but Terence kept giving vague replies or simply did not pick up. He even redirected some of the calls to his secretary's number to make it look like he was too busy.

Julia couldn't stand it anymore. She was determined to smoke out Terence from hiding. She went straight to the HT Group building, but her advance was

muttered in a fit of pique. Her belly growled as soon as she finished her words.

A smile appeared on Jillian's lips. "Miss Gu, please don't go against your own hunger. I have something else to do. Again, please enjoy the meal."

Jillian disappeared behind her computer monitor. In the end, Julia could not help but gobble up all the food Terence ordered from her favorite restaurant.

After she finished the meal, Julia began to feel sleepy. She had already finished her book so she took a magazine from the shelf and flipped through it. Minutes later, she somehow fell asleep on the couch, using her bag as a pillow. Jillian took a blanket from the staff room and put it on her. She reported what happened to Terence. In response, he requested all his staff to minimize their noise for the rest of the afternoon.

Julia had worked several nights in a row to have a day off. When she woke up, it was already dark outside.

It was not until then that Julia came to her senses. She looked at the blanket covering her body in confusion, and then shifted her gaze to the door to Terence's office. She quickly asked, "Miss Yang, has he come out?"
