Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 157

Julie was shocked and confused. Out of the blue, she bumped into Kieran’s chest.

His fingers tightly clutched her chin. Under his control, she slightly lifted her head. At that moment, he bent down and kissed her.

Although it was just a light kiss, the sudden smooch made Julie’s breath hitch.

Snap back to reality, she forcefully pushed Kieran away, “I’m not your ex-wife you need to chase after anymore, nor do I need you to continue flattering me the way I taught you. This could piss off your current wife.”

“Join me for lunch.” He patted Julie’s head, then with a smile, he opened the elevator door for her.

Julie was still glaring at him when he simply pushed her out.

The legal department should have been notified. As soon as Julie arrived, someone came to meet her immediately.

The person who met her was a very capable woman, very beautiful. She had a slim figure, her long hair tied in a ponytail, her light red lips weren’t too bold but still eye-catching.

The woman looked familiar, but Julie could not recall where she had seen her.

She introduced herself to Julie, “Hello, I am Davina. Legal affairs director at Simpo Co.”

“Hello, I’m Julie.” Julie felt that the name Davina was also familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

Davina gave her a smile, “HR just called. You just transferred to the legal department and are not familiar with its operations, so you can start as my assistant, is that okay?”

Julie shook her head, “No problem. Thanks.”

“You’re welcome.”

So, Julie became Davina’s assistant. She spent the morning dealing with some miscellaneous tasks with Davina.

Julie could not remember where she had seen Davina. At lunchtime, Davina suddenly dropped her professional facade, walked.up to Julie’s desk, and tapped it twice, “Mrs. Hernandez, do you know where the company cafeteria is?”

Suddenly being addressed as Mrs. Hernandez, Julie was stunned.

“Are you planning on having lunch with Mr. Hernandez, or are you going to the cafeteria with us?” Davina asked Julie.

Davina had been very professional all morning, but her sudden warmth caught Julie off guard.

Seeing Julie’s confused look, Davina looked at her with some surprise, “Joyce, we’re classmate before, you really don’t remember me?”
