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

Chapter 118

Daphne was swamped at the moment, and Julie didn’t stand a chance to approach her.

Wennie glanced at the assistant nearby and asked, “Didn’t Daphne just head downstairs to check the interview script with Mr. Lionel’s agent? How come she’s now doing the agent’s work?”

Hearing Wennie’s question, Julie also shot a look in that direction.

The assistant leaned in and whispered to Wennie, “It’s not Daphne trying to take over. She’s stepped on Mr. Lionel’s toes.”

“Daphne, that smart cookie, how could she upset Mr. Lionel?” Wennie expressed her disbelief.

Julie also found it hard to believe. After all, Daphne was the most adaptable person she knew. To put it precisely, many of Julie’s problem-solving strategies were learned from Daphne. Thanks to Daphne, she was then who she was.

With her kind of personality, how could she possibly annoy the superstar who’s about to collaborate with their magazine?

The assistant hushed and said seriously, “Not sure what Daphne was thinking. Everyone knows Mr. Lionel’s ex-girlfriend, Ms. Albertine, married Mr. Farrell. But Daphne just mentioned Ms. Albertine in front of Mr. Lionel. On top of which, she asked Mr. Lionel’s agent if she could have an exclusive interview about his love life. Do you think Daphne is cursed or something? The editor-in-chief said whatever Mr. Lionel talks about will make the front-page headline as long as he gets interviewed. Why bother with his love life?”

“Then Mr. Lionel blew his top?” Julie asked softly.

The assistant nodded, then shook his head, and finally said, “Not sure if he was mad, but Mr. Lionel said he would accept the interview about his love life as long as Daphne pleases him.”

“Then Daphne hit the jackpot!” Wennie nodded thoughtfully, “Isn’t Daphne competing for the position of deputy editor with a colleague? If she pulls off this interview with Mr. Lionel, the promotion is in the bag!”

Hearing Wennie talk about how critical this competition is for Daphne, Julie didn’t dare disturb her work and found a sofa to

sit on.

From afar, Lionel’s pleasant voice could be heard, “Ms. Daphne reminds me of someone.”

• smiled at Lionel and responded, “Really?”

“Why don’t you ask who? Lionel winked, suddenly looking down at Daphne.

Daphne had to admit she was a sucker for handsome men, but she tried her best to control her heart and focused on helping him tie his tie.

Actually, Daphne had noticed Julie the moment she entered the room. Due to the slip of the tongue this morning, Julie had called her countless times. But thus far, she hadn’t figured out how to smooth things over. Also, Julie was too sharp, so she didn’t have the guts to face her then.

Therefore, she deliberately tied and untied Lionel’s tie, aiming not to see Julie.
