Love’s Cunning Ruse ( Mr.Kieran And Julie )

Chapter 201

Julie distinctly remembered falling asleep with Ivan in-between her and Kieran, but when she woke up in the morning, she found herself in Kieran’s arms instead.

The first thing she saw when she opened her eyes was Kieran’s chin. She was nestled in the crook of his arm, and looking up she could see the faint stubble on his face with a hint of sex appeal.

She carefully reached over for her phone to check the time. It was still early for work. She tried to get out of bed quietly, but Kieran’s long arm pulled her back.

“If I get up now, I’ll have time for breakfast before heading to the office. Why didn’t you go for your morning run?” she asked.

“I already did. I just wanted to sleep in a bit longer with you.”

“Well, I need to get up now. How about you join me?” she suggested, play fully rubbing his nose.

In the early moming, his voice slightly hoarse and nasal, he asked, “Have you heard the story of Sleeping Beauty?”

“No, I haven’t.”

“What about Snow White?”

“Neither!” She let go of Kieran’s nose, gave his face a gentle pat, and said, “Come on, get up, Mr. Hernandez.”

Kieran took her hand, his eyes still heavy with sleep, and said, “Do you know what Sleeping Beauty and Snow White have in common?”

“They’re both women, and you’re a man. I’m not going to kiss you awake, but you’ll wake up anyway!” she laughed, prying his fingers off her one by one.

Unexpectedly, he flipped her onto her back and planted a kiss on her before letting go, “Are you going to the office today?”

“Today marks the start of a new month. I lost my perfect attendance bonus last month because of you. I can’t make the same mistake this month.” With that, she got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom to freshen up.

Kieran picked out a black and white formal suit for Julie, “How about you wear this today?”

“I think I’ll stick with this,” Julie pulled out a clean outfit from the corner, a dress she used to wear often. It was from a budget brand, not too fancy but not too shabby either.

Kieran simply nodded and said, “I’ll ask Daniel to send over some budget brands later.”

“No need. As long as I have enough clothes to wear. I’ll dress up all pretty on my off days for you.” She put on the casual dress suitable for everyday wear.

Kieran stood there, arms crossed, watching the woman change and asked, “Need a hand?”

nodded, “Yes, could you please leave and close the door. Thank you.”
