Chapter 120

Just like that, Julie got kicked out of Creative Nexus Media by Nexus before she could spit out the crucial information.

Realizing Nexus couldn’t help her, Julie knew she had to solve the root problem to get out of that mess. That problem was Kieran. Only by dealing with him can she truly solve the issue.

Remembering her previous experience of being chased around at a café, Julie decided to hail a cab to find a new place to live. She knew she couldn’t keep living with Kieran, and finding a new place was the most important task at that time.

She found a real estate agency and picked a reasonably priced small house. Because she forgot to bring cash, she spent a lot of time convincing the agent to accept online payment. She paid the rent first, then the deposit, and finally secured the

house.

Arriving at the Simpo Co. building. Julie called Karl, “Karl, it’s Julie.”

“Mr. Hernandez, can you bring my bag home when you return?” Julie asked humbly.

But Kieran replied, “No”

“Could you send someone to deliver it to me?” Julie asked again.

Standing by the window, Kieran responded, “Are you paying my salary? Or my employees’? You’re skipping work, and now you want to use company resources? Ordering my employees around is something my wife can do…”

Before Kieran could finish, Julie hung up. He stared at the hung-up call, a smirk on his face.

Julie stared at her phone for a while, then got out of the car. She walked carefully around to the back entrance of the company, only to find it surrounded by reporters as well.

Just as she was at a loss, a white Santana pulled up in front of her, honking its horn.
