Julia felt uncomfortable watching the intimate relationship between Jean and Terence. She gave a final look at the couple, sighed, turned around, and left silently.

Since neither of them seemed to be paying attention to her, she had nothing more to say. The building was almost empty at this time, save for some security personnel, and a small group of young employees. A cool breeze accompanied her until she found a taxi.

Seeing that Julia had left looking downhearted, Jean was very happy. She held Terence's hand and said, "Let's go. I've already reserved a table for us at that Japanese restaurant."

"Okay." Terence smiled in response. The moment Jean turned away, the grin on his face disappeared, replaced by an expression of longing and sorrow.

By this time, Jean had become really comfortable talking to Terence. She kept talking on their way to the restaurant. On the contrary, Terence kept silent.

Jean noticed her partner's lack of enthusiasm and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

"It's nothing." Terence s

ncerned. "If I don't follow you, how can I know if you're acting against me? How can I know if you weren't just spewing out lies?"

"That's..." Jean wanted to throw a tantrum, but she bit her tongue in the end.

She knew that she couldn't offend George carelessly before coming up with a solution.

With this in mind, Jean immediately changed her expression. She looked at George and said, "George, you really misunderstood me. How could I go back on my promise to you? But, I also hope you didn't forget you promised to give me time."

"Time?" George sneered. "Yes, I promised to give you a month. But don't forget that half a month has already passed, and what have you achieved? None!

You did nothing but have dates with Terence every day. If you fail to show your sincerity today, I'll go to Barton tomorrow. I'd like to see how he will treat a dirty little liar like you!"

"You...!" Jean was so angry that she looked at George with fiery eyes. "It won't go well for you!"

George laughed. "But, at least I'd get to drag you to hell with me."
