He kissed her passionately and eagerly. Their teeth touched, breathing warmly with each other. The man reveled in her sweetness, as if trying to savor every breath of her.
Julie pushed him away with all her might, her brows furrowing like she just woke up from a dream.
She silently opened the bathroom door and darted out.
She didn't expect to find Kieran's assistant Karl and a cop standing at the bedroom door.
Karl sucked in a breath and quickly shut his eyes.
Julie didn't have time to acknowledge her embarrassing state when a huge bed sheet suddenly covered her from behind.
Next thing she knew, she was dizzy and Kieran scooped her up and tossed her back into the bathroom.
When Julie removed the bed sheet, a brand new dress was thrown on the marble table in front of her.
"Put it on." The man's gaze was cold and arrogant, his voice calm, devoid of any intonation.
With that, Kieran turned and left.
Julie glanced at her wet dress and compared it with the new one Kieran threw in. She only needed one look to know it was her size. So she put it on.
When Julie walked out in her new outfit, only Karl and the cop were left in the room.
The cop asked Julie a few routine questions, Julie cooperated and gave her statement, and then Karl escorted the cop out.
