Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 113

At that point, Tina should ve stepped in and stopped everyone, but honestly, Tina was a bit curious about the answer too. She’d seen Mr. Hernandez and Attorney Abraham getting all lovey-dovey more than once. So she just hung back, pretending not to see the chaos unfold.

Julie didn’t hesitate in her response, “Our relationship is strictly professional, nothing more. The media’s just full of hot air. Mr. Hernandez is a great boss, always standing up for his employees. The media loves to stir the pot, so don’t believe everything you hear!”

Julie was dead serious

Seeing Julie’s solemn stance, everyone started to buy into her story

After all, if Attorney Abraham really was Mr. Hernandez’s girlfriend, he wouldn’t have her working out of a storeroom, would he? That just didn’t add up!

Just when everyone was starting to believe Julie, someone chimed in, “But what about that photo of Mr. Hernandez and Attorney Abraham in the cake shop?”

“What?!” Julie, who hadn’t been keeping up with the news, quickly pulled out

phone and opened her news app

The photo shocked her. It was clearly taken by a shop employee, capturing the moment when Julie almost fell and was caught by Kieran.

The news headline was totally over the top, “Simpo Co’s CEO and his new squeeze!” ‘Sources say that when they’re alone, they refer to each other as Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez.”

What the hell was that all about?

Julie’s face was a picture of fury. She turned to everyone and said, “This photo has nothing to do with the lies they’re spreading”

“So, Attorney Abraham and Mr. Hernandez arent. 7’Everyone curiously looked at Julie.

Julie shook her head, “Mr. Hernandez was just being nice and helping me out. If he knew the media would twist it like this, he probably wouldn’t have been so helpful”

Julie’s explanation didn’t seem forced. Besides, knowing Julie as they did, they were more inclined to believe there was nothing going on between her and Kieran. Everyone nodded in agreement

But as that was happening, Julie’s phone screen was still on. Her phone buzzed, indicating a new message.

Before Julie even had a chance to read it, someone had already sneakily glanced at her phone. It was a message from Mr Hernandez to Julie

“Holy shit!” Everyone gasped at the content of the message, then quickly scattered back to their own seats, pretending to be busy

As they left, they cast a lingering glance at Julie

Julie looked bewildered at the sudden change in everyone’s expressions, then lowered her gaze to the message that Kieran had sent her.
