Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 55

Even when Grant led her to the front door of Simpo Co. Julie was still in a state of surreal disbelief

She glanced at her watch, and it was only 6:40 am.

Unlike other workaholic leaders, Kieran had a very regular schedule and usually wouldn’t show up at the company before 7:30 am

Julie looked at Grant helplessly and asked, “Grant, have you had breakfast yet?”

Grant handed Julie two pieces of bread, saying, “I got these especially for you. After this contract is signed, I’ll treat you to a feast.

Seeing Grant’s work ethic, Julie finally understood why Porter wanted her to follow Grant. What boss wouldn’t want to cultivate more enthusiastic employees like him?

After eating the two pieces of bread, Julie waited a bit more with Grant.

Employees started to trickle in, and the lobby of Simpo Co gradually got busier.

The receptionist from yesterday had already recognized Julie and Grant and greeted them with a polite smile.

Kieran didn’t expect Grant to bring Julie so early, so he had his driver park right in front of Simpo Co.

As soon as he entered the lobby with Karl, Grant pulled Julie towards him.

“Mr. Hernandez, hello. I am the Chief Lawyer from Accolade Law Firm, Grant,” Grant respectfully handed Kieran a business card.

However, Kieran didn’t take the card, his attention entirely on Julie, who was hiding behind Grant.

Julie knew the encounter was awkward.

Unable to bear Kieran’s gaze, Julie guiltily looked away.

When Grant looked at Kieran, he noticed his gaze was not on him, but intensely focused on Julie.

Grant timely pulled Julie from behind him, and with a beaming smile, said to Kieran, “This is our intern lawyer from Accolade Law Firm, Julie We hope Mr. Hernandez could give us a few minutes…

“Julie…” Kieran suddenly interrupted Grant, calling Julie’s name.
