Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

After all these years, Julie didn’t expect to meet Annalise again, and certainly not in this kind of situation.

Kieran was still on top of her, lips locked with hers.

Annalise was dressed in a delicate Chanel dress and a pair of champagne–colored high heels, her face beautiful and makeup exquisite. Time had left no traces on her face. Even standing there, she exuded an air of elegance.

“Out!” Kieran grabbed a blanket from the side, covering Julie, and frowned at Annalise in annoyance.

However, before Annalise left the room and closed the door, Julie quickly threw off the blanket. She was fully dressed, why hide?

By the time Annalise had just pushed open the room door, she must have seen her already. The one without pants was clearly Kieran

The ambiguous atmosphere just now had dissipated. Julie regained her senses. She straightened her clothes and then looked at Kieran from the edge of the bed. “Should I leave now or wait a bit?”

Let’s grab some food.” Kieran opened his wardrobe, casually picked up a pair of long pants to put on, and then pulled Julie and walked out.

Julie freed herself from his grip and walked out of the room on her own.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” Kieran asked Annalise, then gave Karl a meaningful look.

Then, he pulled Julie back to his side in case she tried to make a run for it.

Karl was speechless.

He never expected Annalise would know the passcode to the lounge!

Annalise looked at Julie and laughed, “So, have you two rekindled an old flame? Or was it just an accident?”

“Ms. Annalise, you’ve got it all wrong. I barely know Mr. Hernandez, let alone have any old feelings for him.”

Julie calmly removed Kieran’s hand from her shoulder, her expression collected. There was no hint of ambiguity in her gaze.

After Julie shook off his hand, Kieran once again held her hand and led her to sit on the sofa. He pushed all the food in front of her, saying, “Eat first”

He knew Julie had a serious gastritis.

Even though she was hungry now, with Annalise staring at her, she really couldn’t eat.

Julie simply picked up the lunch box, then nodded at Kieran in thanks, “Thanks for the lunch.”

This time, Kieran didn’t stop her.

The sound of Julie closing the door was light and polite.

Kieran turned his head and told Karl, “Make sure she finishes her meal.”

Karl left with a guilty conscience.

Annalise took off her high heels, sat cross–legged on the sofa, lazily looking at Kieran, and said with a teasing smile, “Mr. Hernandez, a smart man wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. Do you want to make the same mistake again?”

“Why didn’t you let me know you were coming back?” Kieran asked, sitting on the sofa.

The lunch that was originally set for two was all taken away by Julie. Now the table looked a bit empty.

Annalise said, “I heard that Bertha passed away, so I came back to see if I could help. But as soon as I got back, I heard that you’ve moved heaven and earth to get Joyce back. You’re shameless.”

*So?”

Used to Kieran’s indifference, Annalise said casually, “Joyce took me as a thorn in her side when she was in school. She’ll definitely mind my being back, won’t she?”

“Even if she saw you and me in bed, she wouldn’t care now.” Kieran said helplessly.

Annalise suddenly sat down on the sofa next to Kieran, and then held Kieran’s arm, “Did Bertha really commit suicide?”

“Otherwise?” Kieran asked back.

Frowning a little, Annalise said, “I feel like it’s not that simple. Let’s not talk about this. Have you heard anything about Hayden?”

“No.“Kieran’s concise answer completely dashed Annalise’s hopes.

She really came back for Hayden Simson.

“Really, you haven’t heard anything about Hayden?” Annalise asked in disbelief.

She still got a negative answer from Kieran

Reluctantly looking at Kieran, Annalise said, “Isn’t he your best friend? How could you not know where he is?”

“What about you? I didn’t know you were coming back today either”

Annalise was speechless at Kieran’s retort

She simply got up, said somewhat helplessly, “When you have news about him, let me know!

OK His response sounded insincere Annalise knew he was just brushing her off.

Annalise walked to the door, then looked back at Kieran, “By the way, do I need to explain to Joyce that you and I have no romantic relationship?”

10.10

“No need.” Kieran said.

Annalise nodded, “I thought so. Joyce must hate you very much now. Even if I explained, she would think I was in cahoots with you. You always used me

as an excuse to reject other girls when we were in school. This is the result of your actions!”

Annalise left the office.

Outside, Julie was by the water dispenser

As Annalise passed her, she gave Julie a provocative look.

Julie had just stuffed a biscuit in her mouth and was startled by Annalise’s gaze, almost choked.

At this moment, a clear glass cup suddenly appeared in front of Julie.

Without thinking, Julie took the cup and took a sip of water.

When she came back to her senses, she looked up.

She saw a handsome young man standing next to her.

Julie looked at the cup in her hand, then at the man. “Uh… thank you”

“No problem. It’s a new cup, I haven’t used it. My name is Dylan.” Dylan’s voice was as refreshing as his appearance

Julie stood up, smiled at Dylan, “My name is Julie

“Are you the new secretary in the president’s office?” Dylan asked.

Julie shook her head Tm the lawyer in charge of the Creative Nexus Media case. You are…?”

“Just a nobody.” Dylan flashed Julie a smile, then took off his suit jacket and draped it over Julie, saying, “You got some blood on your skirt.”

This was hands down the most awkward moment in Julie’s life.

Was her period here?

Her period was here!!

Her cycle was always irregular and there were no warning signs before it came, so Julie always carried pads with her. She’d felt a bit of warmth down there just now, but she didn’t pay much attention to it. She left it out of consideration. Julie handed her cup to Dylan, “Thanks. Could you wait here for a

bit?”

As she dashed off to the restroom with her bag, Julie looked back at Dylan and said, “Wait for me!”

Annalise, who was waiting for the elevator, happened to see Julie, draped in a light blue men’s suit jacket, heading for the restroom.

Near the water dispenser, a young man in a white shirt and white trousers was watching Julie with a smile.

He was kind of good–looking, probably in his early twenties, and about 1.86 meters tall.

Dressed all in white, he looked fresh and noble yet mysterious.

This was big news!

Annalise whipped out her phone and snapped a couple of photos.

The elevator doors opened. Annalise looked at her photos with satisfaction and then sent them to Kieran.

Karl had prepared a lunch for Kieran. Before Kieran had a chance to eat, his phone rang.

The photos Annalise sent instantly stung Kieran’s eyes.

The man’s suit jacket was draped over Julie’s body, covering her hips and accentuating the length of her legs. And the man leaning against the door…

Kieran hit a button on his desk, dialing Karl’s extension, “Do I have an appointment with Dylan today?”

Karl said, “At 1:30 this afternoon, Mr. Dylan and Mr. Hernandez have an appointment. Mr. Dylan has been waiting for half an hour.”

“Then let him wait another half an hour” With that, Kieran hung up.

He put down his lunch, then turned around and grabbed a suit jacket before heading out the door of his office.

When Julie came out of the restroom, she still had Dylan’s jacket on her shoulders.

Dylan really was still waiting by the water dispenser for Julie to come back.

Seeing Dylan holding the cup and waiting for her, Julie smiled at him from a distance.

She walked towards Dylan. In this secretary’s office, there were a dozen or so secretaries and assistants of different ranks. They were all drawn to Julie’s unusual attire, giving her more than a few glances. Since they hadn’t seen Julie before, she was the center of attention.

Julie ignored the stares and walked straight towards Dylan.

“Problem solved?” Dylan stood up as he saw Julie approach.

Julie nodded, “Thanks for the cup and the jacket, but I might not be able to return this jacket to you for the time being. If it’s okay, could you give me your phone number

Before Julie could finish her sentence, she felt a tall figure behind her.

She turned around in surprise, coming face to face with Kieran

He grabbed the light blue jacket from Julie’s shoulder and threw it to Dylan, then draped his own jacket over Julie

T treat you to dinner tonight.” This was what Kieran said to Dylan.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kieran took Julie’s hand and headed for his office.
