Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )
Chapter 16

Chapter 16 

Turned out that Kieran pulled her back just to return her wallet. Knowing this truth, Julie instantly felt like she had thrown her face into the sea. She held onto the white clutch in her hand tightly, almost sweating through it.. 

Kieran removed his hand from around her waist and let her go, like he was letting go of something annoying, and looked at her with a disgusted expression, saying, “Your way of speaking has improved, but your habit of being absent–minded hasn’t changed. How have you been these past few years?” 

Though his face showed a disdainful expression, his tone was as if he were asking after a lover. 

This time, Julie didn’t retort. Instead, she hastily fled his gaze, clutching the wallet and making a quick exit. 

Julie knew that Daphne had been worrying about the photo, so she changed clothes and went straight to the hospital. Luckily, Daphne was satisfied with the photo, which helped calm Julie’s unsettled heart a bit. 

Daphne was holding her laptop, looking at Elliot’s photo, and saying, “Other than Mr. Hernandez, Elliot is definitely the most handsome man I’ve ever seen!” 

“Don’t you mean to say he’s the weirdest man you’ve ever seen?” Julie, who was pouring soup, muttered under her breath. 

Daphne looked puzzled, asking, “What did you just say? I didn’t catch that.” 

“Nothing.” Julie didn’t tell Daphne about what happened tonight; instead, she walked over with the soup and said, “Don’t you have other idols, like Mr. Watson and Lionel?” 

“They’re different in nature. Mr. Watson and Lionel are fashion industry legends. Mr. Sanches and Mr. Hernandez are big shots in the business world!” Daphne said as she took a couple sips of soup. 

At that moment, Julie’s phone rang. The caller ID showed Imanol, the Front Office Manager of Majestic Peaks International Hotel. Imanol’s voice came from the other end of the line, “Ms. Abraham, we’ve checked over here. Your last sales performance was quite impressive. Are you interested in continuing?” 

Julie had enough for the medical expenses, but the next round of medical bills was still pending. She promptly agreed, “I’ll report 

on time tomorrow.” 

Daphne caught wind of some of the conversation, putting down her spoon and looking at Julie, asking with concern, “Are going to sell that thing? Didn’t you run into Kieran last time?”

“He has his life, and I have mine. I can’t change my life because of him.” Julie replied. 

Daphne knew that once Julie had made a decision, she would stick to it. 

Julie patted Daphne’s shoulder with a smile and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll only be there for two or three hours. I’ll definitely make it to Raymon‘ birthday party tomorrow.” 

“Well, if you run into Kieran again, then quit.” Daphne said, but then she excitedly grabbed Julie’s arm and said, “Remember to take more photos of Elliot tomorrow!”  Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ Find ɴøᴠel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“It’s not like I’m the one taking them, and there’s a clear frontal shot here, right? Why do you need so many?” Just thinking of Elliot gave Julie goosebumps, and she involuntarily rubbed her forehead’s stray hair.. 

Daphne smiled dreamily. “I’m going to enlarge the photos and hang them at home; they’ll look so beautiful!” 

Julie rolled her eyes. 

The next morning, Julie received a call from the hotel, informing her that daytime sales were surely not as good as evening sales, so they changed her working hours to the night. 

Since Julie promised Daphne to attend the party tonight, she had to take a day off. 

Etiquette–wise, the same outfit couldn’t be worn twice on formal occasions. To cope with tonight’s event, Daphne took Julie to buy a rather flashy dress and gave her a whole new look. The dress was a vibrant red and designed with a single shoulder strap, giving onlookers a glimpse of her fragrant shoulder. The dress was made of high–quality silk with a delicate waist design, highlighting Julie’s curves to the fullest. The hem of the skirt reached her ankles and was adorned with exquisite embroidery. 

Julie looked stunning in the dress, exuding a unique charm that was a bit seductive amid all the elegance. 

Originally planning to attend discreetly, the moment Julie entered, she headed for a dimly lit spot, trying to hide herself and focusing only on supervising Manuel and Hasan. However, this outstanding dress became her standout feature from the moment she stepped in. 

Not long after her arrival, she saw Elliot walking towards her in a black tuxedo suit.
