Fine, she'd leave! But she had to make Julian Donovan believe she was only leaving because she understood his predicament.
Back in her room, she called Julian Donovan. It was noisy on his end, and she could tell he was at a business function. 'Good,' she thought. 'As long as it's for work. Anything but being with that woman and his son.'
Of course, she wasn't going to tell Julian Donovan that Lara Nash had just threatened her. Instead, she deliberately made her voice sound pitiful.
"Julian, I was wrong earlier today. I shouldn't have said those things to badmouth her. I'll leave first thing tomorrow morning. I'll go back to Meridia and wait for you. From now on, I won't ask about you and her anymore, okay?"
Julian Donovan was silent on the other end of the line. Juliet Jennings felt a flicker of panic, and her next words were tinged with tears.
"Julian, I really know I was wrong. Please don't treat me this way, okay?"
