Chapter 114

“Do you think you’ve totally ironed out the issues with Creative Nexus Media?” Kieran asked, lounging on the couch, giving Julie an icy look.

Julie moved closer to Kieran, nodded confidently and responded, “Sure, the court has already…

She stopped mid sentence, frowning at Kieran, as if a thought suddenly struck her. Then she asked, “What are you implying?”

Suddenly, Kieran grabbed Julie’s wrist, pulling her onto his lap

Caught off guard, Julie ended up plopping down on Kieran’s lap, both sinking into the couch.

Just as Julie was about to struggle, Kieran grabbed the remute and turned on the TV.

On the screen, Nexus, the head of Creative Nexus Media, was making a bold announcement. Kieran didn’t have her watching the TV just to see Nexus declare bankruptcy

Sure enough, Nexus was telling the media that he was appealing against the court’s decision, demanding a retrial against Kieran,

Watching the press conference, Julie thought Nexus must have lost his marblest

Or there was another possibility.

“What a coincidence! Just yesterday I mentioned terminating the contract, and today Nexus is appealing. Nexus is publicly opposing you, why do you think he’s doing that?” Julie glanced back at Kieran, hinting at something.

Kieran, feigning innocence, replied in a serious manner. “After all people do crazy things when they’re cornered. Maybe you’ve backed Nexus into a corner?”

“Mr. Hernandez, you’re so low! Julie pushed Kieran away, her delicate face flushing with anger.

But the man on the couch just chuckled nonchalantly, if I’m so despicable and low, what did you see in me in the first place?”

“I must have been blind back then!”

“And now?”

“1 can see clearly now!” Julie blurted out, heading straight for Kieran’s desk, furiously rummaging through his drawers, refusing to believe she couldn’t find the contract.

Clearly, Kieran was messing with her. No wonder his secretary had disappeared after dropping them off at the hotel the previous night.

Julie finally figured out what Kieran had his secretary do, he must have threatened Nexus.

Kieran just sat on the couch, watching Julie go through all his drawers.

Julie had always been complaining in front of him, mostly going along with his wishes. He had seldom seen her lose her temper, let alone get furious like
