Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 251

When Kieran came out of the bathroom, it had been half an hour. He was wearing nothing but a bath towel, a white towel hanging around his neck. Julie couldn’t help but glance curiously at the bathroom, “What were you doing in there?”

“Taking a shower,” Kieran replied, then noticed the camera in Julie’s arms and asked in surprise. “Why are you holding a camera?”

“Daphne said the next issue of the magazine needs captivating content, preferably a cover shot of the famous Mr. Hernandez fresh out of the shower. So, to meet Daphne’s demands and be a good friend, I thought of putting you on the cover. Aren’t selfless?” Julie explained with a mischievous smile.

Kieran immediately covered his chest with the towel, looking at Julie warily, “Is this your idea of a surprise?”

Julie couldn’t help but laugh, “Mr. Hernandez, do you actually believe this kind of thing?”

Seeing Julie’s triumphant expression, Kieran realized how foolish his earlier actions had been. He coughed awkwardly and removed the towel to continue drying his hair.

Perhaps bored waiting outside, Julie had already put on a black shirt, his shirt.

She came down from the bed with the camera in her arms, revealing her beautiful long legs, and handed him the camera and said, “I found something very interesting here. Take your time to have a look.”

With that, she dashed into the bathroom like she was running away.

Kieran was left standing outside with camera in hand. “Mysterious and intriguing, huh?” He called towards the bathroom.

Julie’s muffled voice came from inside, “You’ll find out when you watch it. Make sure to fast forward.”

“Do I snore when I sleep?” he wondered about what might appear on the camera.

Julie found his speculation both amusing and exasperating, “It’s worse than snoring.

Then, Julie in the bathroom went silent. Kieran draped the towel he’d used to dry his hair over his shoulders and turned on the camera.

Julie, anxiously waiting in the bathroom, felt like Kieran was opening Pandora’s box outside. The bathtub held the water he’d drawn for her earlier, and now she was

fully immersed in it, fingers tightly gripping the edge of the tub as she imagined Kieran’s reaction when he found out what had happened that night.

Outside, Mr. Hernandez’s face grew increasingly serious, eventually sporting a hint of perplexed embarrassment.

After nearly half an hour of fidgeting, Kieran’s voice came from outside, “Do you plan on spending the night in the bathroom?”

“Is that okay?” Julie’s voice came from the bathroom.

“What do you think?” His voice came from the bathroom door Watching Kieran’s silhouette at the bathroom door, Julie took a deep breath, stood up in the bathtub, and casually wrapped herself in a bathrobe.

Making sure she was decent, she loudly replied to Kieran, “I’m ready…”
