Chapter 83

She actually ran into Kieran and Annalise…

In life, sometimes shit just happens. Like how Julie happened to trip over right at the entrance of the restaurant, and Dr. Brice happened to catch her in his arms, and at the same exact moment, Annalise and Kieran walked in, arm in arm.

Dr. Brice, who was still holding Julie, asked with concern. “Are you okay? Gotta watch your step, girl”

Julie, intentionally ignoring Kieran, shook her head at Dr. Brice with a smile, “Tim good.”

“Kerry, isn’t that Julie?” Annalise’s voice was loud enough that even a deaf person could hear….

Kieran only looked in Julie’s direction because of Annalise’s voice. He took a glance at Julie, “Attorney Abraham”

Dr. Brice didn’t know much about a big shot like Kieran, but seeing him in person was quite a surprise. His presence seemed out of place here

Moreover, the woman next to Kieran was shouting Julie’s name. Were they old schoolmates?

Julie was surprised when Kieran suddenly called her Attorney Abraham. After a moment of hesitation, she responded with a polite smile, “Mr. Hernandez, nice seeing you here.”

“Not really, this restaurant is Annalise’s new venture.” Kieran replied indifferently, his gaze falling on Dr. Brice

Julie also glanced at Dr. Brice What a day!

“Ms. Annalise, congrats on your new restaurant, hope it goes gangbusters.” Julie said sincerely.

Annalise seemed pleased, her face lit up in a smile as she looked at Julie and Dr. Brice. “You should come support my business. The restaurant will definitely be a hit. How about this? Lunch is on me today. Why don’t you join us?”

“No thanks, no bother! Julie declined swiftly for she was clearly eager to escape

Annalise understood Julie’s reluctance, but she still teased Kieran, “Oh my, look at you, so serious. You scared her.”

Then, Annalise let go of Kieran and grabbed Julie s arm, “Julie, we didn’t get to catch up last time at Kerry’s office, How have you been?”

Annalise was already dragging Julie towards the private room, not giving her a chance to refuse. Dr. Brice awkwardly followed behind them.
