The next morning, Julia went to HT Group building. Terence was having a meeting with Kerry. When he learned from Jillian that Julia came for a visit, he thought he had heard the fact wrong.

"Who did you just say?" Terence asked with brows furrowed.

"Ms. Julia Gu, sir." Jillian repeated her announcement. "Mr. Chen, she is waiting outside right now. Should we..."

Terence came back to his senses. "No, that's unnecessary. Let her wait outside."

"But..."

"Hurry up and tell her what I've said," Terence interrupted his secretary.

Jillian had no choice but to leave the room in a hurry. Meanwhile, Kerry got intrigued by the peculiar exchange she just witnessed and asked, "She especially came here to see you. Why don't you want to meet with her?"

Terence smiled bitterly. "I know why she came here, and I don't want to talk about it. She could be pretty single-minded and stubborn."

He looked at Kerry mean

ern, I will find time to go with you. It's just, now is not the time."

"No way! You can't worm your way out of this," Julia replied determinedly. "This matter has been delayed for a long time. Terence, I don't want to have anything to do with you and Jean's life, so please divorce me as soon as possible."

"What if I say no?" At this point, Terence had a look of longing on his face so intense that Julia felt weak under his passionate gaze. She started to step back but he followed her until she had her back tightly against the wall. She could smell the familiar scent she once found comforting and safe, while he struggled to control himself from hugging her tightly.

Julia met his eyes nervously and squeaked, "Terence, what do you want?"

Terence grinned and his face brightened up. He said softly to Julia, "Well, I'll go through the procedures with you after you finish the variety show. What do you think?"
