A Night with Her Cruel Mate

Jean was looking at Julia and smiled as she spoke. "I need to apologize to everyone here about my relationship with Terence."

She gave a bow as she continued, "Terence and I are just friends. He helped me choose a birthday gift for Director Guo.

Jean chuckled. "Director Guo promised that he wouldn't tell you. Alas! He broke his promise."
