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

Chapter 54

As soon as Porter walked into the office, he saw Julie sitting right at the entrance. He glanced at the circle of employees engaged in conversation, clapped his hands, and said, “Alright guys, chill out for a sec, I want to introduce y’all to our new colleague, Julie. She’s a top–notch student from Pinnacle University, graduated as the cream of the crop.”

The employees finally noticed Julie and started applauding.

Julie gave a slight smile. “Hi everyone, I’m Julie. Thanks for having me.”

“Mr. Porter, you bring such a pretty new face to our firm. Aren’t you afraid your folks at home will have a problem with that?” Grant joked, which made Julie feel comfortable with the company’s atmosphere.

Porter shot Grant a look and said, Julie’s a brainiac. She wouldn’t give me the time of day. We’re all free birds at my place.”

After saying that, Porter turned to Grant and said, “I’m leaving Julie in your hands. Since she graduated, she hasn’t worked in the field, so she’s still new to this. Make sure you show her the ropes.”

Turning back to Julie, Porter said, “Grant is one of our top dogs here at the firm. Stick by his side, you’ll learn a ton. If there’s anything you don’t get, just

holler.”

Grant walked over to Julie and joked, “I’m not really the best at our firm. Porter’s just pulling your leg. He’s the real deal.”

“Quit fooling around” Porter called out to everyone. “I want everyone in the conference room in five minutes.”

Grant handed Julie a notebook and a pen, then led her into the office, following behind Porter. Porter was already sitting in the boss‘ chair, not paying too much attention to Julie, to avoid any unnecessary chit–chat.

He switched on his computer and asked everyone, “Did y’all catch the headlines today?”

Everyone promptly nodded and started sharing their opinions, “Creative Nexus Media is pretty much done for. I always thought Bertha was really Mr. Hernandez’s fiancée, and they were about to tie the knot. Who would’ve thought it was all smoke and mirrors by Creative Nexus Media”

Listening to the first comment, Julie was a bit lost.

Grant, sitting next to her, also chimed in, “Mr. Hernandez is personally suing Creative Nexus Media for spreading false rumors and tarnishing his reputation. This is definitely going to court.”
