Terence had already noticed it when Julia had hugged Eric. Since he was only there to meet a client, he didn't expect her to also be there.
The top search regarding him and Jean on Weibo still hadn't reached his ears. All Terence knew was that Julia had been shameless enough to hug another man in public even though she just divorced him a few days ago.
Even if Julia wanted to find a new boyfriend, she could at least be decent about it. There wasn't any hurry for her to throw her body around so quickly.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chen?" The client had already been speaking for a long time before he realized that Terence wasn't paying attention. Terence didn't even look at the documents in his hand. As such, a slight frown painted the client's face.
"Well, I've already read the contract. Just go back and tell your boss to cut the profit by two points. Then, come to my office tomorrow morning at eight. Bring the contract with you and sign it." Terence stood up and buttoned his suit. Then, his eyes focused on Julia once again. Slowly, he walked towards her.
As he approached her, Terence noticed Julia's bright smile towards Eric. Immediately, he felt unhappy.
'How could she smile like that towards him? She never showed such happiness to me before!'
"Mr. Chen?" Eric was not surprised to see Terence. However, when he thought that Terence had bullied his beloved, his face immediately turned sour.
At that moment, Julia realized who was standing behind her. However, she did not dare to turn around.
Anxiety became apparent on her face as she quietly sat in her chair.
"I heard that the Fang family finally transferred their business to H City. Congratulations!" Terence had a callous yet formal expression on his face. "When do you have time, Mr. Fang? Why don't we have dinner sometime? And bring your girlfriend with you."
"Okay." Without any hesitation, Eric agreed to the invitation. Then, he pulled Julia and stood up. "By the way, we haven't seen each other for a long time. The three of us used to play together a lot when we were young."
"Yes. I do remember those days." Terence nodded. Then, his face grew colder. "You should know by now that your partner had been technically my wife for three years."
As she stood in front of Terence, Julia grew very uncomfortable. Nervousness overwhelmed her as she had no courage even to raise her head and say hello to him. All she wanted was to leave immediately. "Sorry I have something to do. Please excuse me. Take your time."
"Wait!" Terence sneered as he reached his hand towards Julia. "Where are you going? Now you are turning your back on me after you signed the divorce agreement? You found a new boyfriend rather quickly. You're quite something."
Terence's sarcasm infuriated Julia. She raised her head and sneered, "Mr. Chen, are you mocking me? Mr. Fang and I are childhood friends. I think you know that better than anyone else. We are just having a meal. How could you say something so indecent?
As the saying goes, people with dirty minds see everyone else as dirty too."
