Chapter 121

“Show me your ID, Kieran extended his hand to Julie.

Julie clutched her bag tightly, eyeing him warily, “Aren’t you the CEO of Simpo Co.? You have facial recognition technology Why do you need my ID? Are you planning to get me a separate room?”

“Alright, show me your bank card too,” Kieran stood at the door, his hand outstretched towards Julie.

Pressing her baseball cap lower, Julie hugged her bag lighter, “In that case, I might as well stay at a hostel.”

She would talk about what she wanted to say another day.

Kieran eyed Julie’s small figure, “How long do you think it would take me to tear down a hostel?”

Julie finally stopped, not because his words scared her, but because Kieran grabbed her arm. She turned to look at him, a hint of surrender in her eyes, “Can’t you use your privilege to avoid registration?”

“Do you think sharing a room with me is humiliating? The man’s deep gaze met Julie’s. Once, she longed for him to look at her this way, but now she feared his direct gaze. Finally, she met Kieran’s eyes with a defiant pride, “Yes, it’s humiliating. Very humiliating. Extremely humiliating…

He suddenly pressed a finger to her lips, “Say it again and I’ll get angry, Julie. Don’t provoke me.”

Who’s provoking who? Julie pushed his hand away, her beautiful eyes glared at Kieran from under the brim of her cap.

Kieran still held out his hand, ‘Privilege? Do you know the law? Everyone needs to show ID when checking into a hotel, it’s the law. As a lawyer, you know the law but don’t comply, what’s the logic in that? Show me your ID or I’m going to check in with our divorce certificate.”

In the end, Julie pulled out her ID and handed it to Kieran.

With the ID in hand, Kieran handed it to the front desk. Julie kept her head down the entire time, but she could still feel the gazes of the staff. After checking in, Kieran led Julie to the elevator and pressed the button for the seventh floor. Suddenly, Julie felt a sense of unease. Sure enough, Kieran brought her to room 7401, the room where they first had sex…
