Failed Effort

Lilia's gaze followed Jean's movements as the man fixed her slumping sleeves. A look of frustration flashed across his face. Her tactic of teasing Jean by deliberately letting her dress fall off failed. But it didn't matter, she still had other tactics.

After they finished dinner, Lilia was still sitting at the dining table thinking about the next step. Then, she felt someone staring at her. When Lilia looked up, she met with Jean's dark blue eyes. The man had just finished clearing the table and sat back across from Lilia.

The woman gave a small cough before starting to play with the strands of hair tucked behind her ear. Then Lilia asked softly, "I'm going to Jakarta for a month. Are you going to miss me?"

Even though Lilia put on an innocent and pitiful face when she asked that, her eyes flashed with temptation. This time, she would shake Jean's composure and bring down the man's self-control!

But Jean just smiled warmly as he replied, "Of course."
