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

Chapter 159

Media was bombarding Lionel with questions, asking if Daphne was the mystery woman he escorted out of the jewelry store that day. Lionel chuckled, turning and gently touching Daphne’s chin, then gazing deep into her eyes. He asked back, “Do you think she’s the one?”

The reporters nodded unanimously. Daphne was about to explain, but Lionel wrapped his arm around her shoulder and grinned at the reporters, “She’s Daphne, the deputy editor of Gentlemen, an old friend of mine. Calling us boyfriend and girlfriend would be too cliché.”

Daphne looked at Lionel. He spoke as if they were quite close. But in Daphne’s memory, she and Lionel didn’t interact much, mostly just

for work.

But now Lionel was declaring them old friends. She couldn’t just contradict him, could she?

So all she could do was awkwardly laugh it off, “Yes, we’re old friends! Our relationship is pure friendship!”

Daphne was a pro at acting in her everyday life, so Julie wasn’t worried about Daphne’s ability to roll with the punches.

Lionel didn’t announce Daphne as his girlfriend as Kieran implied. And knowing Daphne for many years, Julie could tell from Daphne’s eyes that she wasn’t in love with Lionel. Julie felt relieved. That’s when it hit her that she’d been’duped by Kieran…

Kieran tricked her into attending this charity event and cost her a month’s full attendance bonus.

“What a petty boss!” Julie grumbled to herself, feeling a little shortchanged.

Just as Julie was about to yank her arm away from Kieran, he said, “Lionel took Daphne away.”

Upon hearing this, Julie immediately looked towards the door. Sure enough, Daphne and Lionel, who were just at the entrance being interviewed, were now nowhere to be seen.

“Where did they go?” Julie asked Kieran anxiously.

Kieran pointed upstairs, a place off-limits to the media.

Julie immediately pulled Kieran’s hand and ran upstairs.

Mr. Hernandez was a bit taken aback. This was the first time Julie had taken his hand since the got back together, and it was for

another woman…
