Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 67

Kieran walked Julle into the office lounge, only letting go of her hand then.

He then swung open the cloakroom door, gesturing at the women’s clothes. “Pick one.”

1 feel dirty” Julie said, expressionless. Her responses to him had become more and more terse, the previous questioning and defiance now absent.

Kieran hesitated for a moment, then replied, “They’re all brand new”

“They’re too expensive,” she said.

“You can just owe me more money.” He hoped she would be in debt to him for the rest of her life.

Julie took a deep breath, then looked up at Kieran. “Let’s get things straight today. What are you trying to do? Why are you being nice to me out of the blue and then putting me in awkward situations? What are you trying to do? Just spit it out, so I don’t have to waste time trying to decipher your cryptic bullshit with my dumb brain.”

“What do I want to do?” Kieran looked at Julie and suddenly smiled.

Julie narrowed her eyes, “Yes, what do you want to do?”

“I want to sleep with you, is that okay?” Kieran leaned against the cloakroom door, looking at Julie standing in front of him. There was a touch of frivolity in his words.

He expected anger, but she just let out a cold chuckle.

She shrugged off her blazer, casually tossed it onto the couch, then asked, “How do you want to sleep?”

“Are you asking about the place or the position?” Kieran crossed his arms, his voice sultry

Julie turned her back to him.

Without the blazer to cover her, the bloodstain on her dress was glaringly obvious

Julie didn’t feel embarrassed at all, instead, she looked at Kieran boldly. “As you can see, I’m not in a position to do anything today.”

She pulled out a pair of black trousers from the wardrobe. “Since you verbally insulted me earlier, consider these trousers as your compensation. Don’t put this on my tab.”

With that, she headed to the office restroom to change.

Julie thought she was being pretty shameless.

But Kieran, leaning against the door, found her shamelessness amusing and chuckled.
