Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 97

In the bathroom, Julie was still pondering what had just happened. The clothes in his office and the wardrobe at Noblewood Retreat were all her size, if the size of the clothes could possibly belong to Bertha, the size of the shoes was unexplainabile, right? And then there was the underwear…

Julie looked at the pajamas placed on the sink. Although she kept telling herself not to fully believe Kieran, she already had a certain answer in her heart.

After taking a shower, Julie didn’t put on the pajamas right away but just blankly stared at them.

Kieran walked into her room at some point. She heard Kieran’s magnetic voice from outside the door, 1 put the hairdryer on the table”

Julie hesitated and didn’t say a word

“Julie?” He called her, “You’ve been in there for half an hour, did you fall asleep?”

“No, I haven’t slept yet.” Julie quickly replied, fearing he would barge in any secord

She quickly grabbed the pajamas to put them on, but her hand trembled, and the clothes fell on the ground, causing the damp floor to quickly wet the silk pajamas.

Annoyed, Julie bent down to pick up the clothes from the floor and shook them, but found that they were so wet that water could be wrung out of them.

She quickly grabbed a towel to wrap herself in, and then called out to the door, “Mr. Hernandez?”

“Hmm?”

Kieran’s voice came quickly from outside the door.

Julie’s voice echoed from the bathroom, “Mr. Hernandez, you can leave after you put down the hairdryer”

Was she trying to rush him out?

“On the way to Starlight Haven Hotel for dinner with Elliot today, weren’t you talking about Creative Nexus Media? I have time now. Come out and let’s talk property Kieran had already sat down on the edge of the bed, picking up a magazine to browse through,

Julie was utterly confused in the bathroom.

Was he going to talk about work instead of sleeping late at night?

Would something unexpected really happen if they were alone together at night?

Julie reluctantly threw the wel pajamas on the sink, then said to Kieran outside the door, Mr. Hernandez, I need to rest. We can talk about work Tomorrow!”

Rest? Rest in the bathroom? Kieran lazily asked from outside the door.

Julie had no choice but to say. Til rest when you leave.”

‘If you don’t come out in three seconds, I’m coming in I cant guarantee what will happen in such a small space”
