A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 28

Out of the corner of her eyes, Jean spotted the paparazzi following them, and secretly smiled with satisfaction.

She had already gone to the Japanese restaurant Terence recommended before she had gone abroad. But she didn't expect that the food would be just as good as it was three years ago.

"What's wrong? Is it not to your liking?" Terence asked when he saw that Jean hadn't eaten yet. "If you don't like it, we can eat somewhere else."

"No, it's not like that." Jean smiled bitterly. "I also ate here three years ago. I thought the taste would change after all these years. I'm just surprised that it's still the same."

"The owner of the restaurant used to study in Japan. He came back here and opened the restaurant, maintaining its quality. If you like it, then you can come back here as much as you want," Terence kindly offered, amused at Jean's reaction.

After dinner, Terence drove Jean back to the villa. She invited him to go inside, but he refused. "Sorry, it's already late. Perhaps we can talk another time."

With a shake of his head, Terence drove away.

Jean was not in a good mood. Terence had been polite to her during the entire time they were together. He always helped her without hesitating. It was just that he always kept his distance from her.

She knew that Terence only saw her as a friend.

If it went on like this, then Jean had no chance at all.

Consuela received an unknown phone call. After a long discussion with the person on the other end of the line, she politely hung up. She glanced at Julia, who was busy eating fruit. "Since when were you acquainted with Director Guo?"

"Director Guo? Which Director Guo?" Julia asked, frowning.

She couldn't remember Director Guo at all, because Consuela always arranged her work for her.

"He's the famous director. He just asked you to attend his birthday party. Did you know he also wants to invite you to audition for his new movie? What's going on?" Consuela had a strong feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"I only remember seeing him at the awarding ceremony, but we didn't talk to each other," Julia quietly murmured. "Maybe he gave me a chance because I might actually be suitable for his new movie. What happened? Is something wrong?"

"No." Consuela shook her head. Julia was right, maybe she just thought about it too much.

"Director Guo has gotten quite popular lately and many new artists became famous because of his movies. If we have a chance, we have to seize it," Consuela strongly advised, thinking about the opportunities this would give Julia.

Julia nodded in response. On her way to her room, she received a call from Mandy. She frowned as she saw the name on the screen, but answered it anyways. "Didn't you promise not to keep in touch with me after you took the money? Why are you still calling me?"
