Chapter 71

Julie may be strapped for cash right now, but she didn’t take that gift card again.

She replied, “Since Ivan is such a cutie, I’ll chat with you for free once”

Then, she sent a smiley–face emoji

Julie was bending over to pick up her shoes, but a pair of large hands snatched them as her hand touched the heels.

Julie lifted her head and accidentally bumped it against the table, grimacing with pain

She rubbed her head, lifted it, and, to her surprise, Kieran was squatting in front of her

He was kneeling on one knee, holding her high heels in one hand and gently resting the other on her ankle, slipping the shoes onto her feet Julie was stunned for a second. Kieran took the other shoe Just as he was pleased with Julie’s cooperation, she suddenly recorded as if startled

Kieran didn’t force her He put down the shoe and stood up.

“Why are you still working overtime so late?” He asked.

Tm off now Julie shoved her feet into her shoes, turned off her computer, and stood up

Maybe because she had been sitting for too long, she felt dizzy as soon as she stood up. She accidentally twisted her ankle.

Kieran reacted quickly and held her steady.

Thank you, Mr. Hernandez She said, politely pulling her hand out of his.

Then she turned around and limped her way to the elevator.

Julie was frowning. Once in the elevator, she quickly pressed the close button.

Surprisingly, Kieran let her go just like that this time. Who knew if he had other things to attend to? Anyway, he didn’t get in the elevator with Julie

Julie finally breathed a sigh of relief. There shouldn’t be anyone else in the company at this time.

She just twisted her ankle. Why did it hurt so badly?

Once she confirmed no one else was in the elevator, Julie rolled up her pant leg and looked at her ankle.

It didn’t feel anything when she twisted her ankle. Now, looking down, she realized that her whole ankle had swollen up in just a short while. The middle part was badly swollen and red.

Julie leaned against the wall helplessly, planning to go out and buy some medicine later

When she reached the first floor and the elevator door opened, Julie was about to step out when a pair of men’s slippers suddenly fell in front of her.

Julie looked up and saw the man in front of her.

He was clearly in the office just now How did he get downstairs before her?

Julie looked at the pair of men’s slippers placed in front of her, then at her swollen ankle, and without pretence, she accepted. She took off her heels, put on the slippers, bent down to pick up her shoes and headed for the door.
