A Night with Her Cruel Mate novel Chapter 54

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."

"Sure." She waved goodbye and got in the car.

When she got in, Consuela was comfortably seated and busy scrolling on her phone. She put her phone away and stared straight at Julia. Her eyes were interrogative.

Favorable for Consuela that the filming site for that day was miles away. She had all the time to ask Julia. "Dear, tell me honestly, when did you get to know such a young and capable man?"

"When did you become so gossipy, huh?" Julia glared at her while positioning herself in the car.

"Stop talking nonsense."

With a resigned look, Julia asked, "Anyway, is he handsome? I can’t see it."

It was perhaps because Julia had seen Eric in his worst look. Even though he was much handsome now, she still didn’t think that he was good looking enough.

"Come on, don’t change the subject. How did you know each other?" Consuela rolled her eyes at Julia.

Julia replied flatly, "We have known each other since when we were young. We were neighbors. Eric’s house was beside our house, on the left side. And living on the right side of ours was… Terence."

She smiled to mask her uneasiness.
