Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 170

Julie wasn’t sure how she came up with such a phrase, and now she could hardly suppress her laughter at work.

Not until her colleague glanced at her did she regain her composure.

She awkwardly fetched a sanitary pad to the restroom. The image of Kieran’s surprised face upon hearing “Bedroom Guardian” this morning was still replaying in her mind.

He mulled over the phrase “Bedroom Guardian”, looking down at Julie, his voice teasing, eyes sly, “Aren’t you scared that this Bedroom Guardian might do something inappropriate?”

Julie struggled to hold back her laughter, “I’m scared…”

Kieran didn’t know what to do with Julie. He sighed, leaned down, and playfully nipped at Julie’s red lips, “Remember this, I’ll keep my promise, but it won’t be forever. So you better behave!”

He let go of her appetizing lips, his eyes narrowed, adding, “I definitely will!”

Julie was speechless.

While Julie was reminiscing about this morning, gossip from outside the door started to get louder.

“Mrs. Hernandez is really something, taking a day off yesterday, coming in late today, who knows what trouble she’ll stir up tomorrow.”

“Well, it’s Mrs. Hernandez. Since she suddenly came to our department, it was all thanks to Mr. Hernandez anyways. Why are you so serious about it?”

“Yes, indeed. She managed to get into Mr. Hernandez’s bed and even gave birth to a kid. That must make her feel quite entitled, right?”

“What do you think Mr. Hernandez sees in her?”

“She knows how to please Mr. Hernandez in bed!”

Sitting on the toilet, Julie just chuckled at their sharp tongues.

Julie was scrolling through Facebook and had no intention of confronting these hypocrites at that moment.

Then, a familiar voice came from outside, “Spreading rumors in the bathroom during work hours, do you think this company is your

own?”

Several timid female voices came from outside, chorusing, “Ms. Davina……”

Then came Davina’s authoritative voice, “Mr. and Mrs. Hernandez have known each other since school. They grew up together. Instead of discussing Mr. Hernandez’s love life, why not calculate if your bonus this month is enough to buy a set of makeup in your bags!”

Outside, there was silence.
