Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Though Jean clearly knew what she wanted to say, she couldn't still speak it out. She remained silent for a long time before she finally left.

After she went out of the Qi Group building, she felt that her throat was choked on something. Thus, breathing required her extra effort.

Zed stood in front of the French window in the CEO's office and saw her thin figure walking away. His deep eyes eventually turned dark.

Jean returned to the company she worked in, but she didn't enter yet. As she saw the entrance of the company, she felt guilty and distressed for some reasons. She didn't know how to solve the problem. She didn't dare tell Sonny about it yet, either.

It had been half a month since Sonny left, and he would be back in about a week. If he found out what really happened, there's a chance that he would blame her for it.

"What are you thinking about? It seems like you're out of your mind." John said. He was standing behind her.

Jean trembled in surprise. She came back to her senses and immediately shook her head.

"Nothing so important." Jean didn't say anything about the problem. She didn't even know where to start if ever she would open it up.

John frowned as she saw that Jean seemed to have a distracted mind. Then John asked Jean, "You ran away without saying any word this afternoon, and now you came back here absent-minded. What on earth happened to you?"

Jean still didn't say anything and walked into the building instead.

It was already time to get off from work. She grabbed some of her things in her work space and immediately left.

Meanwhile, John was still waiting for her at the entrance of the building. As soon as he saw Jean going out, he walked towards her and said, "Let's have a dinner somewhere nearby."

She was a bit surprised after she heard what John said. She looked at him oddly and said, "Your friend said last time that you are often quiet. Then, suddenly you invite me to have dinner with you?"

"I just thought that it's not a bad idea to invite a friend to have a dinner." John felt a little embarrassed. Luckily, he managed to find a good excuse.

Jean hesitated for a moment. But after a while, she nodded and accepted his invitation.
