A Night with Her Cruel Mate

The next morning, Consuela and Julia stepped out of the elevator at the ground floor and saw Eric not far away from them. Upon seeing them, he walked over and said, "Julia, I have something to tell you."

"I’ll just wait for you in the car." Consuela was clever and perceptive enough. She took Julia’s suitcase and left in a hurry. Julia slightly nodded. After her agent left, she turned to Eric and said, "Eric, I’m just about to look for you. Here’s the car keys."

Handing the car keys to Eric, she continued, "Thank you for helping me. I really don’t know what to do without you."

"I am not here to ask you for the car keys." Eric glare at the keys with such disapproval.

"I know," Julia nodded. "Please, hear me out."

Eric touched his chin and shut his mouth, implying to offer his attentiveness. Seeing that, Julia went on. "Eric, I appreciate your help. I accepted a new TV series recently, so for a few months, I'll be working at the film site. I won’t have the time to thank you properly. When I come back, what about I’ll treat you to a decent dinner?"

"Julia Sweetheart—"

"We’re not kids anymore. I won’t call you Big G again, and please, drop that name-calling too. It’s inappropriate." Struggling to hide the awkwardness she felt, she looked away.

"What should I call you then?" asked Eric flatly.

"Just Julia," she said with a smile. "I really have to go now. I’ll ring you when I come back."

"Well, then fine." Eric came here because he wanted to tell her something. However, in the end, he wasn’t able to state his purpose. "Then, I’ll look forward to your call."
