Chapter 360 Run into
Jackson stood there, watching Lillian pull Shirley away quickly, his face darkened to the extreme.
Terry stepped forward. Noticing the bright red lipstick marks on Jackson's white shirt, he almost couldn't hold back her laugh.
"Mr. Frane, do you want me to bring Mrs. Frane back?" Terry asked.
Jackson's eyes swept over Terry coldly as he asked, "Do you find this funny?"
Terry certainly wanted to laugh. Jackson's awkward situation was enough to keep him laughing for a long time.
But for the sake of his paycheck, he dared not laugh.
Terry immediately shook his head.
Jackson sneered, his eyes chilly.
Terry's almost-laughing expression made Jackson's already gloomy mood even more irritable.
"Absolutely not! Mr. Frane, I just think Mrs. Frane has quite high standards. For such an outstanding man like you, Mrs. Frane still gave you a failing grade. That means in Miracalia, there surely isn't a man who could interest her."
Terry's words were quite tactful.
Jackson felt furious when he thought of Nathan's undisguised admiration for Lillian in the concert hall just now, as well as Ambrose's protection of her.
However, he felt Terry made a good point. If even Lillian had no affection for him, the likelihood of her developing feelings for someone else was even smaller.
"Forget it. Let's talk when she calms down." Jackson finished speaking. Looking down at the messy shirt, he felt helpless.
"Mr. Frane, you have two unpostponable appointments this morning, and you need to return to the company. The urgent matter now is to find a hotel to take a shower and change your clothes," Terry stepped forward and said.
Terry thought, 'If Mr. Frane is photographed in this state, it will definitely make the headlines. His image will be completely ruined.'
Lillian contacted Victoria again in the car, confirming that she would join the dance troupe's rehearsal tomorrow.
After hanging up the phone, she leaned back in the seat, her gaze somewhat blank as she looked out the car window.
"How about we reschedule with Amelia?" Shirley suggested when she saw Lillian's fatigue.
They had planned to have dinner with Amelia this afternoon, but Lillian looked very tired.
"I'm happy today, so let's do it today! Besides, I might not have much time once I join the dance troupe tomorrow," Lillian replied.
Lillian owed Amelia a favor and had long intended to treat her to a meal.
Having delayed it until now, Lillian already felt quite guilty.
The dinner location was set at Elegance Manor.
It was a very private restaurant, and Shirley said it had recently become very popular and hard to book, so she had to use her connections to get a private room.
When Lillian and Shirley arrived, Amelia had just left the set and would take a while to get there.
Lillian put down her bag and got up to go to the restroom.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the private room, she saw Wendy and Wendy's parents heading this way, too.
Seeing Lillian, Grace and York immediately walked over and asked, "Lillian, what are you doing here? Is Jackson here, too?" Grace asked, reaching to push the door of the private room behind Lillian.
Lillian stepped aside to block her and replied, "He's not here. I'm just meeting with friends."
Grace withdrew her hand, somewhat disappointed, and asked again, "So, did you talk to Jackson about what you promised last time?"
York also said, "Yeah. Lillian, what did Jackson say? When is he free to see me?"
Lillian pressed her lips. She had promised to help Wendy's parents ask Jackson for forgiveness. But in the past few days, because of Star's matter, Lillian had been very confused, so she had forgotten about it. Now, she was arguing with Jackson, so she couldn't bring this up with Jackson.
She frowned, looking at Grace and York with some apology and saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. and Mrs. Sivan. I can't help with this matter because I have already..."
Before she could finish, Grace interrupted her excitedly, "What do you mean? Didn't you promise me last time?"
