"My dad told me that he only sees you as a friend and an employee. He doesn't see you as anything more than that,"

Jean said bluntly. "I thought it would be a good thing if you and my dad can be together, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Zoe couldn't do anything but grit her teeth as she took in what Jean said.

"Sorry, it's my fault. I'm trying to make it up to you,"

Jean said. "Miss Lin, the man I mentioned to you earlier is my client. He's a good friend of mine. I really think he is a good man. Even if you don't have plans to get married soo

"Are you really willing to go there?" Simon asked with a frown.

"Of course," Tina answered firmly. "Just don't talk too much when we get there. Do you understand?"
