Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 32

At the Hospital.

Daphne noticed that Julie's eyes were a bit red when she came back.

Ignoring her own wounds, she propped herself up and looked at Julie, feeling concerned. "Julie, what happened? Did the guy my mom introduced to you treat you badly?"

With that, Daphne started to get up.

Julie quickly grabbed Daphne's hand with a smile, shaking her head. "No, the guy was just a bit odd."

Daphne pulled Julie to sit beside her on the bed. "Then why are your eyes red? Don't tell me you’ve got sand in them."

"My eyes are red because of the wind; you believe that?"

"Did Mr. Hernandez show up again?" Daphne thought for a moment, figuring that was the only explanation for Julie's red eyes.

Julie didn't deny it; instead, she took a deep breath and said, "Daphne, I still haven't found a job."

"Oh yeah, I asked about that for you." Daphne suddenly said seriously, "Our company's HR department is hiring. The salary isn't high, but the benefits are decent. Why don't you give it a shot? I can put in a good word for you. No biggie. You're not doing anything right now anyway; you might as well work. If a better job comes along, you can always jump ship."

Julie thought Daphne made sense, so the very next morning she put on her professional attire and went to apply at the HR department.

The head of HR, Jordyn, was a man in his forties with a big belly. He wore a white shirt with a black tie that looked like it might strangle him at any moment. His oily smile made Julie feel slightly sick.

The same white shirt and tie suddenly reminded Julie of Kieran.
