Lillie observed Ethan's odd behavior. At one point, he was stabbing his steak as if it had personally offended him. His hands were growing paler by the minute from how tightly he clenched them.
She sighed. What now?
"What's the matter?" she asked calmly.
Hearing her voice, Ethan felt a bit more at ease.
"Nothing… I just remembered that I also have something to do in Japan," he lied effortlessly, without even blinking.
Lillie narrowed her eyes. "When?"
Ethan internally panicked. He didn't even know when she was leaving, and if he wasn't on the same flight as her, he'd never find her.
Lillie Bai didn't openly announce her trips abroad. If she went anywhere, it was always in complete secrecy. No one would even realize she had left the country unless she was launching a new project or opening another branch.
"Uh…thursday?" he blurted out.
Silence.
Ethan started sweating. Was that the wrong answer?
