Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 56

Chapter 56

The table was filled with dishes that Julie loved

Juhe was starving, but she couldn’t touch the delicious meals in front of her it was pure torture What pissed her off even more was Kieran handing her a

fork and a knife

He was tempting her!

Julie held back her hunger and made no move to use the cutlery

Kieran picked up a piece of steak and placed it in Julie’s bowl.

He said curth. Tat’

Sorry. Mr. Hernandez I’m on a diet. They had become strangers, and calling him ‘Mr. Hernandez felt oddly natural.

Kieran put down his utensils and looked up.

She was very skinny, but kept claiming she was dieting.

Kieran frowned, 1 don’t like skinny women.”

“That’s interesting, as my life goal is to lose weight.” Julie replied, her smile not betraying any flaws. She was a pro at this

Kieran suddenly closed the distance between them, “Isn’t your life goal me?”

“I was young and naive then. I didn’t know what to pursue, but now I’ve found the right goal and I’m ready for the fight. Mr. Hernandez, you and Creative Nexus Media…”

“Eat or leave. Your choice.” Kieran cut off Julie’s unfinished sentence harshly

Julie stared at Kieran for a few seconds in silence, then she gathered her documents and prepared to leave

“Wait! Kieran called from behind

Instinctively. Julie stopped, “Mr. Hernandez, anything else?”

“Dine with me, and I’ll give you time to talk about the merits of Accolade Law Firm. Or you can leave now. I’m sure youll replace another job when you lose

this one

Kieran was threatening her again

All he had to do was make a call to make her unemployed. If Kieran ordered Porter to fire her, Porter would certainly obey

Kieran’s threat was credible Julie really reeded this job. No other company would offer an intern such a high salary.

So, Julie compromised and picked up a piece of steak with her fork and ate it

Seeing her back down, Kieran was satisfied.

Julie was focusing on her lunch, not daring to look up at Kieran across the table.

But Kieran continued to serve her food.

He even peeled her favorite shrimp and placed it in front of her neatly

Finally, Julie couldn’t help but stop.

She looked up at Kieran and said, “I’m full,”

“Leave the documents and you can go. Kieran picked up the Accolade Law Firms documents from the table, adjusted his suit collar elegantly, and then

left

Julie sat alone in the conference room

Karl came over and knocked on the door, “Ms. Abraham…”

“Did he just leave?” Julie pointed at Kieran’s retreating figure, ready to chase after him.

But Karl stopped her at the door, “Ms. Abraham, the president asked me to accompany you downstairs.”

Then Karl led Julie to the elevator.

In Simpo Co’s lobby, Grant was still holding two meals. Seeing Julie and Karl coming out of the elevator, Grant immediately went up to greet them.

“Karl “Before Grant could finish, Karl just smiled at him and turned back to the elevator.

Grant had to pull Julie over and urgently asked, “Did Mr. Hernandez call you upstairs?”

Julie came to her senses and casually said, “I found an opportunity to go up by myself. I snuck the documents onto Mr. Hernandez’s desk. Whether Mr. Hernandez will read them, I don’t know”

She couldn’t exactly say that Kieran invited her up for lunch, could she?

Grant clearly didn’t believe Julie’s words, but he didn’t expose her lie Instead, he said, ‘Let’s eat first!”

Julie shook her head, clutching her stomach and furrowing her eyebrows in discomfort, “My stomach hurts, I really can’t eat anymore, thanks though, Grant

“Do you need me to get some medicine from the pharmacy?” Grant asked.

Julie shook her head, “A little rest will do

In the end, Grant helped Julie rest on the couch and then they both idled away the afternoon together

Just before they were about to leave work, Grant suddenly said to Julie, ‘Simpo Co only has two exits, either the underground parking lot or the main entrance We’ll split up and wait for Mr. Hernandez. Do you want to go to the parking lot, or the entrance?”

Julie was speechless Grants perseverance was beyond her expectations.

Julie gave a bitter smile. Yesterday Kieran left from the parking garage. Today, knowing they were still waiting at the main entrance, he would surely leave from the garage again

With that in mind, Julie said to Grant, “I guess I’ll wait in the lobby!”

Grant patted Julie on the shoulder, “Good luck! I’m going to the garage”

After saying that, Grant turned and left.

On the twenty-third floor.

Kieran stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling scene below. He calmly asked, “She hasn’t left yet?”

Karl nodded, “They split up. Grant went to the garage, and Ms. Julie is in the lobby”

Tell Austin to bring the car to the front entrance”

After finishing his sentence, Kieran picked up his jacket, casually slung it over his arm and walked into the elevator

Julie had predicted Kieran wouldn’t leave from the front entrance, so she was currently reading a Simpo Co. magazine on the couch.

She was focused on her reading, her profile showing off her delicate features.

Kieran had just entered the lobby when he saw this.

Just as Julie was focusing in reading, a sexy voice suddenly came from behind, “Waiting for me?”

“Ahr

Taken aback by the unexpected voice, Julie spun around instantly.

Her red lips nearly brushed against the mans cheek. She rever imagined that Kieran would be sneaking up behind her.

Startled, she fell back onto the couch, dropping the magazine she was holding. Her hands braced against the back of the downy sofa, her eyes wide with fear.

Kieran stood behind the couch, leaning over with his hands casually resting on the back of the sofa, looking down at Julie.

He was in a charcoal grey suit, a matching tie over his white shirt, and a silver tie clip that brought out his elegant charm.

Julie’s scream had drawn the attention of everyone in the lobby

Who would have thought that Kieran would suddenly appear behind her? Julie picked up her magazine to hide her face, frowning at Kieran.

Kieran seemed to be enjoying this little prank. He straightened up, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, and reached out to Karl

Karl handed over the documents Julie left to Kieran

Kieran glanced at the documents and asked Julie. “What’s the scope of a lawyer’s work?”

Caught off guard by the sudden question, Julie paused. Then she instinctively replied. “According to Article 25 of the domestic Lawyer’s Law, the legal services provided by lawyers include

Halfway through her sentence, Julie stopped, looking up at Kieran with confusion, “Why do I need to answer this question?”

“Because Article 25 of the Lawyer’s Law states that a lawyer’s job is to protect the rights and interests of their clients, and to uphold the implementation of the law Ms. Abraham, you’ve been hanging out downstairs of my company for two days, can i count on you to protect my interests fully?”

Protect him?

She’d rather take the chance to give him a hard time.

Even if he hadn’t publicly announced his engagement to Bertha, even if he could declare to the world that he and Bertha were just friends, Julie knew better than anyone that five years ago, Bertha had given birth to his child

His behavior was so cold. Bertha was still around and he was already trying to distance himself from her.

In the end, Julie didn’t directly answer Kieran’s question, but smiled and said, “Attorney Grant is a top lawyer in the firm, known for his meticulous work ethic and excellent abilities. He will ensure that the rights of our clients are not violated. You can rest assured, Mr. Hernandez

Julie had matured, no longer the little girl who used to cling to him, nor the naive girl who would endure tears silently

Kieran chuckled, then handed the document to Julie, and said to Karl, ‘Get her in the car”

Karl said to Julie, “This way please, and pointed to the entrance.

At that moment, all eyes in the lobby were on Julie. She kept her face hidden behind the magazine and finally had no choice but to follow Karl out

Grant heard people talking about what just happened in the parking lot and rushed into the lobby, only to see Julie getting into the car with Kieran

In the car, Kieran calmly recited Julie’s home address.

Jule didnt refute, but after a moment of silence, she said to Kieran, “You never intended to give Accolade Law Firm a chance from the start, did you?

The silence in the car made Julie have no expectation of Kieran.

However, just when she thought Kieran wouldn’t answer her question, he suddenly turned to her and said, “Whether Accolade Law Firm gets a chance depends on how much you’re willing to sacrifice for them.”
