Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 137

Julie breezed her way up to the floor where the CEO’s office was located. The second the elevator doors slid open, everyone in the office froze.

Tina was the first to approach her, but Julie brushed past her and headed straight for the CEO’s office.

“Attorney Abraham…” Tina started, but before she could finish her sentence, Julie had already pushed open the door to the CEO’s office. However, she didn’t see Kieran in the office, only Karl who had just emerged from the lounge. He was standing in the doorway between the office and the lounge.

“Where’s Kieran?” Julie asked.

Karl could tell from Julie’s expression that she was holding back her anger.

He waved Tina away, “You might want to leave for now.”

Tina hightailed it out of the potential warzone. Then Karl approached Julie, “Mr. Hernandez is in a meeting with investors from France.”

Julie turned around to leave the office, but paused at the door. After standing silently for a moment, she turned back to Karl, “How long before it’s over?”

“Within half an hour,” Karl replied.

“Then tell him, if he’s not back in his office in half an hour, I’ll smash everything!” Julie sat down on the sofa and told Karl.

Karl nodded, trying to maintain his composure.

As he was leaving the office, he heard Julie add, “In half an hour, I might blow the roof off.”

Karl walked out of the office, trying to keep his cool.

Karl and Kieran were always in cahoots, how could Julie not know that? Whether Kieran was really in a meeting with French investors was still uncertain!

On a whim, Julie headed towards Kieran’s lounge, as if suspecting that Kieran was hiding there.

But when she pushed open the door to the lounge, she found it was empty, not a soul in sight.

Just as Julie was mocking herself for being neurotic, she turned around and saw the clothes hanging in the closet.

She suddenly remembered what Daniel had said: those clothes, shoes, bags, and accessories were all prepared by Kieran for her. Every season, he would replace the clothes in the closet with the latest designs. It had been like this for the past five years.

Julie, who was originally intending to leave, inexplicably approached the closet. She looked at the high-end ready-to-wear clothes. She checked the tags and indeed, they were all her size and most of them were haute couture pieces that had just made their debut at the recent autumn and winter fashion shows.

Julie frowned. Her heart felt like a tangled ball of yarn that she couldn’t untangle.
