Jason followed my gaze and saw them, so he stood up and greeted them. My smile froze on my face, and I couldn't tell Emery's emotions. Wendy, who was beside him, continued to talk as usual, "Pearl, are you together with Jason?"

When she was speaking, she glanced at Emery, and I stared at Emery. His expression remained unchanged, but he glanced at the door and said, "Your father has arrived. Let's go inside."

They went into the private room. Jason and I stopped talking. I silently poked at the sashimi on my plate, but it tasted bland...

"I'll go to the bathroom..."

I finally left this low-pressure environment and rushed to the bathroom to splash cold water on my face, trying to wake myself up a bit. After taking a few deep breaths, I finally walked out.

"Oh my God!"

I didn't expect Emery to be outside the bathroom. As soon as I came out, he forcefully pulled me into the adjacent third bathroom and locked the door.
