Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 14

Kieran was right there, with a tablet in his hands, looking like he was checking out some important emails. He was always like this, not wasting a second, even on the road, he’d either be catching some z’s or handling other stuff. People always said a man was most attractive when he was serious, and Julie totally bought that idea. Just like Kieran right now, who was calmly gazing at the computer screen. His whole vibe was even more magnetic than when he was at a photo shoot.
