James caught a glimpse of the sadness that flashed in her eyes.
However, he could only pretend not to notice anything.
He stood up and said, “What do you want for lunch? It’s my treat.”
Quincy took out her phone, checked the time, and said, “I’m afraid I don’t have the time to have lunch with you. I’ve already resigned from my position as the head of New Era Commerce. Xiomara is managing it right now. I’m currently working in Cansington and took a leave to meet up with you after getting your call. So, I’ll have to leave first.”
She raised the dragon blood and said, “Thanks for the dragon blood. Bye.”
After speaking, she turned and left.
She took a few steps and stopped in her tracks. She turned around with a smile and said, “Remember, you still owe me one meal. If we have the chance to… to meet again…”
As Quincy spoke, she choked up and could not finish her sentence.
She wanted to pretend to be fine as if she did not care.
However, she could no longer keep up with her pretense.
At that moment, she cried.
Tears pooled in her eyes.
James could not bear to see Quincy like this and turned away.
“Treat me to a meal if we ever get the chance to meet again.”
She finally finished her words.
Then, she walked toward James and embraced him from behind.
“C-Could you give me a hug once?” she asked softly.
James really wanted to return her hug but held back.
He should be firm if he wanted to end the relationship thoroughly.
James did not move, and Quincy immediately knew the answer.
She let go of James and turned around, leaving the private room.
After she left, James heaved a long sigh of relief.
Initially, he had no plans to do this and simply wanted to run away. However, he still chose to end these relationships. It was better to have short-term pain than to prolong it.
It was best for everyone if he ended everything once and for all.
Afterward, James headed to Cynthia’s villa.
