Love's Cunning Ruse novel Chapter 78

Joyce was getting cheekier and sneakier these days. She knew how to find loopholes in his words and make him contradict himself.

However, there's always a look on Kieran's face that Julie can't understand.

The man driving was the one she had loved deeply for years but also the one she had never understood.

The car was parked in the underground garage, and Julie started to think about how to deal with their landlord, Adolf. All her belongings were in Adolf's house, and she had to figure out how to get them back.

But Kieran seemed to have hit Adolf quite hard with the mop today, so maybe all of Julie's belongings together weren't enough to cover Adolf's medical bills.

Julie was very focused on her thoughts, and didn't notice where the car was parked.

When the elevator stopped on the first floor, she realized she was in a mall.

They can imagine how many people would stare at a man in a bathrobe leading a limping woman through a busy mall.

In the mall lobby, all eyes were on Kieran and Julie.

Julie quickly covered her face with her hands.

"What are you doing? Aren't we supposed to go to a fast food restaurant?" she asked Kieran, her voice muffled by her hands.

Kieran calmly responded, "In a bathrobe?"

"You know you can't go to a fast food restaurant in a bathrobe, so why did you come to the mall in one?" Julie retorted. "Are you trying to embarrass yourself?"

She turned around and saw Kieran wearing sunglasses and a mask, looking very composed.

It turned out he was fully prepared. But didn't anyone tell him that wearing a bathrobe with sunglasses and a mask made him look even weirder? Not to mention the limping woman next to him.

Julie didn't want to talk anymore, and she just pulled Kieran into the nearest clothing store. She pointed at the suit on the mannequin at the entrance and said to the saleswoman, "Have him try this on."

Kieran seemed to enjoy having someone pick out clothes for him, so as soon as they entered the store, he sat on the sofa and watched Julie elegantly.

The saleswoman brought a low-key dark gray suit and handed it to Julie.

Julie shoved the clothes into Kieran's arms. "Get changed."

Kieran took the clothes and went into the fitting room leisurely. The saleswomen outside started to whisper to each other.

"He looks just like Mr. Hernandez!"

"I thought so, too! If it wasn't for the bathrobe, I would have thought Mr. Hernandez was visiting the store!"

"He really does look like him."

"Why don't you go ask him?" one of the saleswomen suggested to a short girl, then glanced at Julie.

The mall was owned by Kieran, which Julie only found out by overhearing the saleswomen's whispers.

She had heard the saleswomen's conversation earlier, but she figured they wouldn't ask her directly, so she pretended not to hear.

However, she didn't expect the short girl to actually come up to her after being egged on several times and ask, "Excuse me, is that man Mr. Hernandez?"

Without hesitation, Julie answered, "No."

"Are you sure? He looks a lot like Mr. Hernandez."

"Joyce, do you like this suit?" Kieran came out of the fitting room wearing a dark grey suit.

He took off his sunglasses, revealing his deep and refined features.

Julie had just denied that he was Kieran, and the next second, he revealed his true face. What a surprise!

"Oh my god, Mr. Hernandez?" The store manager was also startled and stared at Kieran in surprise.

Kieran walked up to Julie, gently put his hand on her shoulder, and said with a smile to the store manager, "Kieran? People often say I look like him. My girlfriend Joyce often gets us mixed up, but that jerk Mr. Hernandez from Simpo Co. is a total jerk. Joyce hates him, so please don't say I look like him."

Julie turned around and gave Kieran a wide-eyed look. She wanted to ask: Mr. Hernandez, how can you talk about yourself like that so casually? Don't you trip over your words?

Even if he didn't want to admit that he was Kieran, he didn't have to go this far, did he?

How could he admit that he was a jerk so easily? But what he said made sense.

Kieran's words left the saleswomen at a loss for words.

"Are you buying this suit or not?" Julie deliberately ignored Kieran's last remark and got back to the point.

And Kieran asked her again, "Do you like it?"

Was he asking for her opinion? Come on, he's the CEO of Simpo Co., he can wear whatever he wanted. Even if he needed advice, that's his stylist's job. What did it have to do with her?

"So if I say it doesn't look good, you won't buy it?" Julie replied sarcastically.
