Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 108

"I've got the right to think about whatever I want, no matter whose car I'm in!" Julie stood up straight, telling Kieran loudly, "I can think about anyone I want!"

"So, who were you thinking about when you were with Elliot just now?" Kieran raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest. Although she didn't want to admit it, most of the time she was with Elliot, she was thinking about Kieran.

Because whenever she was with Elliot, they would always end up mentioning him.

But when the question came directly from Kieran, Julie answered seriously, "I was thinking about you. You promised me a feast tonight, but now I have to go home hungry."

Julie just said this offhand, not realizing that her words sounded surprisingly flirting when they came out of her mouth.

Kieran seemed to like Julie's tone. He casually put one hand on the steering wheel, looking at Julie. "I thought since I helped you out tonight, you'd be the one treating me."

"I also helped you win a lawsuit. We're even," Julie said, getting out of the car and heading in the direction of the cake shop.

Kieran also got out of the car, locked the door, and followed Julie, calmly saying, "Even? That might not work."

Julie turned around and asked, "Why not?"

"I paid you for helping me with the lawsuit. I helped you, but you didn't pay me," Kieran said confidently.

Julie saw again the shameless side of this man. After being taken aback for a few seconds, she responded, "Did I ask you for help?"

"No. I was just imposing myself."

Julie had thought that Kieran wouldn't let her off easily, but surprisingly, he admitted his self-imposition so readily that she was left speechless.

Julie walked into the cake shop, staring at the dazzling array of cakes. She didn't know what flavor Ivan liked.

Kieran told the clerk, "I'll take a passionfruit mousse cake. Please pack it up."

Julie didn't speak. The clerk quickly packed up the cake.

However, Kieran didn't seem to have any intention of paying. Julie, dressed in an evening dress, had come straight from the passenger seat. She didn't have her purse with her. The reason she was just concerned about Karl's whereabouts was because she had given her purse to Karl before entering the banquet hall.

Clearly, Kieran had only retrieved her cell phone from Karl but had forgotten her purse.

The clerk, who had already packed up the cake, looked awkwardly at Julie and Kieran. Julie glared at Kieran, but Kieran pretended not to notice.

"Twenty-four dollars." Although the clerk said this to both of them, her attention was on Julie, as she was closer to the cash register.

Julie had promised to buy a cake for Ivan, so she whispered to Kieran, "Could you pay for me? I'll pay you back tomorrow."

"Pay with your body," Kieran said expressionlessly. He looked as if nothing had happened.

Julie knew this hypocrite wouldn't be convinced so easily, so she turned to the clerk and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want the cake anymore."

"Huh?" The clerk looked confused at Julie and Kieran. She suddenly thought the handsome man looked familiar.

The clerk took a closer look at Kieran before realizing, pointing excitedly at him. "You... you're that, that Mr. Hernandez from Simpo Co., right?"

Julie, who was about to leave awkwardly, saw that the clerk recognized Kieran and a sly smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She pulled Kieran to the cash register. "That's right, this is Mr. Hernandez from Simpo Co.! He's the one buying the cake."

In her interaction with Kieran, Julie had also learned his shamelessness. After saying this, she deliberately bumped him with her shoulder. "Mr. Hernandez, hurry up and pay! You didn't forget your wallet, did you?"

Kieran chuckled. He casually pulled her into his arms, looking at her with an ambiguous glance. "Easy there. We're not at work now, so don't call me Mr. Hernandez. It sounds too formal."
