Chapter 174

On her way to Simpo Co., Julien was trying to reach Julie but her calls went unanswered. Even when she arrived at Simpo Building, she couldn’t get hold of Julie.

She walked into the Simpo Co. lobby, planning to go upstairs directly to find Julie, but was stopped by the receptionist.

“Who are you looking for?” The receptionist asked Julien politely.

Julien responded coldly, “Kieran.”

“Do you have an appointment?”

“I said, I’m looking for Kieran.” Julien, clearly an impatient person, responded with a bad attitude.

The receptionist, having seen many women trying to see Mr. Hernandez, gave Julien a cold look, “If everyone could just walk in to see Mr. Hernandez without appointments, how can we run Simpo Co.? Security!”

The security guard was summoned by the receptionist. Julien exuded a presence that couldn’t be ignored. Despite the fact she looked tough, the guard still, due to job responsibilities, reached out to guide her.

The guard didn’t realize who he had messed with until Julien grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm behind his back, and pushed him onto the reception desk.

“Ouch…” the guard yelled in pain.

Julien lifted her head to look at the receptionist and repeated coldly, “I need to see Kieran.”

Suddenly, applause echoed in the lobby.

Julien turned around and saw a man in a black hoodie and dark athletic pants, clapping with admiration in his eyes.

The receptionist recognized the man and immediately addressed him respectfully, “Mr. Payne.”

Payne didn’t expect to encounter Julien here today, but he was pretty impressed by how she handled the guard.

Payne had seen Julien once at a wedding.

That brief encounter left a deep impression on him. He had been tracking her whereabouts since then. The fact that he couldn’t find her proved how mysterious Julien was.

“Payne and this lady…”

Hearing how the receptionist addressed Payne with respect, Julien let go of the guard. Although she didn’t know this man named Payne, she directly told him, “Take me to Kieran.”

She needs his help? Nice!

Payne winked at the receptionist and said to Julien with a smile, “Follow me, gorgeous.”

The receptionist didn’t stop Payne, so all she could do was watch as Julien and Payne entered the elevator together.
