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

Chapter 304 

Chapter 304

Nestled at the foot of the cemetery hill, amidst a grove of pine trees, Julien doffed her hat and walked deeper into the woodland.

The one-armed man, Gentry, was sharing a smoke with a slightly shorter companion, Lacy, perched on a fallen log that blocked the path. Lacy was in the midst of lighting Gentry’s cigarette when Julien appeared. Gentry, quick as a flash, dropped his freshly lit smoke to the ground, grinding it into the dirt with the heel of his boot. With a sideways glance at Lacy, who hurriedly pocketed the lighter, they both knew of Julien’s reputed acts of valor. Upon seeing Julien, Lacy couldn’t help but exclaim, “Hello, dear Canary!”

Gentry gave Lacy a swift kick. “Show some class, you’re embarrassing yourself,” he scoffed.

With a grin, Gentry addressed Julien, “Canary, what brings you to us today? Something up?”

“Mr. Gentry, you remember owing me a favor?” Julien inquired.

“Of course!” Gentry was well aware that Julien referred to an incident on a cruise ship when Julien, instead of causing trouble for them, had tipped them off about the cops, allowing them a smooth getaway and sparing them a heap of trouble.

“Canary, what do you need? I ain’t much for skills, but I can run errands and handle odd jobs like my own business. Whatever you need, just name it,” Gentry said, thumping his chest in assurance.

Julien nodded, “Actually, I do need a small favor from you, Mr. Gentry.”

“Spill it.”

“I want to know who you were chasing in Sycamore Village last time,” Julien said, her black military boots planted on the log where Gentry and Lacy had been sitting, her tone even.

Gentry’s previously bold assurance evaporated instantly.

“Well…” Gentry hesitated, looking uncomfortable. “Canary, you know how it is with our way of life. I’m a paid man, and not to mention I didn’t even get the money, but if I tell you, I lose out twice. No money, no job done, and my rep goes down the drain..”

“I want to know who you were chasing in Sycamore Village. I’m not interested in how well you fare in our circles, Julien cut him off abruptly.

Gentry hadn’t expected Canary to be so assertive, and he was taken aback. “I remember you didn’t insist on knowing last time. Why the sudden hardball today?” “I have my reasons now.”

Gentry shook his head, firm in his stance, “I truly can’t tell you.”
