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

Chapter 24

Thankfully, possibly due to Raymon’s influence, today’s front page news in Whispering Pines didn’t include any of her and Elliot’s engagement news but was all about Kieran clearing up the rumors about his own marriage.

On the flip side, Simpo Co.’s PR department immediately got on the ball, slapping lawsuits on those entertainment magazines that first reported his marriage news with Bertha.

The news that Kieran had a previous wife named Joyce was also thrown into the limelight.

The whole thing suddenly got way more complicated and messy.

Julie switched off her phone, tossing aside all the trivial news, and made her way to the job interview location.

She thought finding a job in Whispering Pines would be a piece of cake, given the influx of people moving to the city for work. She couldn’t possibly struggle to find even an ordinary job, right? But the big city reality–checked her. She was way too naive.

She tried everything, from high–paying to low–paying jobs. But all she got was a string of polite rejections.

Elliot somehow got her number and called her just when she was feeling a bit blue and sitting by the roadside.
