Love’s Cunning Ruse

Chapter 62

Is this man trying to show his vulnerability?

Feeling obligated for humanitarian reasons, especially because Ivan was adorable, Julie thought she

should give him some advice, so…

“Stick to her like glue! If your ex–wife still has feelings for you, she won’t be able to resist your

persistence.”

However, if his ex–wife didn’t have any feelings for him, no matter how persistent the man was, it would

be useless when a woman decided to be ruthless

So alter sending that message, Julie added, “But this method only works if she still loves you.”

“What do you think is the most effective way to persist?” Gripping his phone, a rare smile appeared on

Kieran’s face.

Julie pondered for a while, finally recalling what Daphne had said: “The way men and women keep

relationships is different. Some girls usually use crying. throwing tantrums, or even threatening suicide

to keep a man. However, for men, the most effective ways to keep a woman might include buying

presents, showing off charm, hugging, or even a sudden kiss. Going further, ruling a woman in bed

would work even better. After all, any problem that can be solved in bed isn’t a problem at all”

After thinking about it, Julie typed into her phone: “Buying gifts, showing off charisma, hugging often,

even a sudden kiss, are said to work wonders.”

Kieran, who was drinking coffee, couldn’t help but laugh, spewing coffee out of his mouth.

He wiped the coffee off his phone with a tissue, thinking to himself. Joyce, didn’t expect you to have

such tastes.

His grin widened.

Julie waited for quite a while without getting a reply, realizing she might have chatted too much with a

stranger.

So, she added, “Just for reference”

Kieran looked at the screen, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile, responding. “Thanks for the

advice. I’ll definitely consider it.”

Julie put down her phone, holding her face, suddenly feeling quite embarrassed.

She looked at the advice she sent out…

While Julie was a little regretful, Kieran sent her an online store gift card.

Julie asked confusedly. “What’s this about?”

“Thanks for your advice, Kieran responded.

Julie didn’t expect to receive a gift. Her mood improved significantly.

She thought there wouldn’t be much money in the gift card, but when she casually clicked it open, it

was fifty bucks.

Julie hastily sent a message saying, “I didn’t really help you with anything I can’t accept this gift.”

Kieran would have preferred to transfer the money directly to Julie, but he was worried it would be too

abrupt and she wouldn’t accept it.

Kieran responded, “I have money. Besides, if I can win back my wife, you’re the hero.”

So, pies really do fall from the sky

This time, Julie believed…

She thought for a moment, jokingly saying. “Then I won’t mind giving you more help in this area in the

future.”

Julie needed money. This wasn’t a secret to Kieran

He happily agreed, “Sure.”

Then, they said goodnight

The next day. Julie got up early.

Daphne brought her a new set of clothes, telling her to change out of yesterday’s clothes.

Her clothes from yesterday were too conspicuous

Fortunately, Kieran’s coat had covered her face, so she wasn’t caught by the camera.

After changing, she confidently walked out of the hospital with Daphne.

“I’ll take you home first. I think you should turn down Kieran’s case. Don’t force yourself, Daphne was

very worried about Julie.

Julie gave a small smile, shaking her head, I’m fine. Take me to the office!”

In the end, Daphne agreed to Julie’s request. After making sure Julie finished her breakfast, she drove

her to the front of Accolade Law Firm.

As soon as Julie walked into the doors of Accolade Law Firm, Grant noticed her immediately. He hastily

stood up, looking at Julie, “I was planning to visit you at the hospital after lunch. How are you feeling?”

Julie smiled, shaking her head, “Much better, thank you”

“You’re thanking him? If it weren’t for him feeding you expired bread, would you have ended up in the

hospital?” Porter opened the office door, looking at Julie while teasing Grant.

Grant looked a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head, then said to Julie, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t

know that the bread was expired…”

“It’s okay, Grant. Just pay for my medical bills”

Julie was joking when she said this

However, she didn’t expect Porter to seriously tell her, “The company will cover your medical expenses.

In fact, you can say that your hospitalization was

a blessing in disguise, as it made Mr. Hernandez see the tenacity of Accolade Law Firm. So…last

night, I received a call from Mr. Hernandez’s chief secretary, Karl. He told me that Mr. Hernandez and

Creative Nexus Media’s case will be handled by us, Accolade Law Firm!”

“What?” Julie was completely dumbfounded.

Porter started clapping. “Next, let’s congratulate Julie for successfully winning over Mr. Hernandez and

being personally chosen by Mr. Hernandez as the chief lawyer to handle this case!”

In the office, a steady stream of applause rang in Julie’s ears.

Julie looked at Porter in surprise, “Mr. Porter, are you saying that Mr. Hernandez specifically asked for

me as his chief counsel?”

Porter patted Julie on the shoulder with a smile. Yep! If you’re fine with that, we’re heading over to

Simpo Co with the relevant info in a bit. Grant’s coming with me, and we’ll get that contract signed

while we’re at it. If you’ve got any questions about working with Simpo Co, just hit up Grant”

Porter clapped his hands. “Alright, everybody, break it up!”

Julie sat in her seat, feeling like she was in a dream.

There were law firms way better than Accolade Law Firm all over Whispering Pines, and she definitely

wasn’t the hottest lawyer in town. So why would Kieran specifically want her as his chief counsel?

By making her meet him every day, Kieran was not only making trouble for himself, but also for her!

Grant handed Julie the relevant documents, “Congrats.”

“Congratulating me now, but you’ll be mourning for me soon enough Julie took the documents and

muttered under her breath.

Grant didn’t catch what she said and leaned in, “What did you just say?”

Just as Julie was about to answer…

“Is Ms. Abraham here?” At the door, a delivery guy with a massive bunch of fiery red roses asked.

Everyone’s gaze turned towards Julie.

Grant raised his hand for Julie, “She’s the one.”

“Could Ms. Abraham sign for this? The delivery guy handed over the flowers.

Julie was puzzled…

She signed in confusion.

“Who’s the secret guy?” The office was filled with envious chatter, with a hint of jealousy peppered in.

Julie took a look but didn’t find any card in the bouquet.

Just as she was feeling puzzled, her phone suddenly rang.

Everyone’s gaze once again turned towards Julie.

The number on the phone screen was a landline number.

Julie answered the call, then softly said, “Hello?”

A deep voice came from the other end of the line, “Do you like them?”

This voice was all too familiar to Julie…

Julie glanced at the roses on her desk, then at the number displayed on her phone screen, and directly

asked, “What are you trying to say?”

Kieran replied, “Here’s to a pleasant cooperation ahead”

Grant chimed in cheekily. Those roses sure are gorgeous! But Julie, you’re even more gorgeous than

them!”

Julie gave Grant a look, reprimanding, “Grant!”

Grant laughed and turned to leave.

However, Kieran’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Roses?”
