Chapter 75
Dn didn’t see thising. He tried to help out Julie, only to get caught in the act by Kerry
Dn, who originally nned to let go of Julie, suddenly smiled, and intentionally held Julie tighter. “Mr.
Hernandez, I’m impressed by how efficiently yourpany utilizes its staff. I admire Attorney
Abraham’s professionalism in continuing to work while ill
Clearly, he was mocking Kieran for being heartless. Any sane person would’ve picked up on it.
After saying this. Dn seemed to feel that his words were not sharp enough. He turned to Julie,
smiled and said, “Attorney Abraham, you don’t have a boyfriend, do you?”
Kieran maintained a poker face, watching Dn’s hand on Julie’s waist with a deep gaze. He was
thinking that Dn was asking for trouble.
Julie quietly broke free from Dn’s hold, steadying herself.
She didn’t answer Dn’s question but politely said “Thank you” to him.
“There’s no need to be so formal. I was just asking. Attorney Abraham, you’re not mad, are you?”
Julie shook her head.
Dnpletely ignored Kieran beside him and turned to Julie again: “The reason why I said Attorney
Abraham doesn’t have a boyfriend is because I was thinking, if Attorney Abraham had someone to take
care of her, she wouldn’t have to push herself toe to work sick.”
Every word from Dn was provoking Kieran.
In the end, Kieran said, “Have you spent so much time with the dead that you’ve forgotten how to
interact with the living?”
That was a harsheback.
Despite the one–and–a–half–meter distance between them, Julie could still feel the tense atmosphere
between Kieran and Dn.
She wanted to get out of the situation temporarily to avoid more misunderstandings
As Julie was nning to walk into the office, Kieran stopped her. “Didn’t I tell youst night that you
didn’t have toe in today?”
“That was what Karl said.”
“Are you mywyer or Karl’swyer?” Kieran asked Julie
Julie remained silent Contractually, she was indeed Kieran’s dedicatedwyer.
But that didn’t mean she had to obey Kieran’s orders
Dn casually leaned against the elevator, watching Kieran and Julie.
Kieran pressed the CEO’s private elevator button, then looked at Julie and said, “Get in.”
‘No need, I’ll go find Karl.”
“Get in.” Kieran’s tone didn’t change. He just repeated himself.
Dn suddenly straightened up and walked towards Julie. “Attorney Abraham, you’re just a
cooperatingwyer, not Mr. Hernandez’s ve. You can refuse him. Go ahead, reject him. I’m on the
side of justice.”
The situation wasn’t serious to begin with, but Dn’s words made Julie feelpelled to get in the
elevator.
emotion.
Because, Kieran was her client contractually, ording to professional standards, she should’ve
entered the elevator without showing e When she first met Dn, Julie thought he was fresh, neat, and
willing to help. Back then, he generously helped her solve some awkward problems However, not long
after, Julie found that she seemed to have some fundamental misunderstandings about Dn..
The elevator door closed.
Julie turned her head to initiate a conversation with Kieran: “Karl asked me to handle some important
things at thepany.”
“What things?” Kieran asked.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell, Julie that this phone call was actually made under his instructions. Judging
from Julie’s current reaction, she didn’t seem to suspect Ivan’s identity

Julie shook her head and calmly looked at Kieran: “Mr. Hernandez, i didn’t get a chance to see Karl
because of you, so I don’t know what important things. Karl wanted me to handle”
After Julie finished speaking, the elevator fell silent.
Until it stopped between the second and third basement floors.
Kieran was a very private person and Julie knew well. Otherwise, the third basement of Simpo Co.
wouldn’t have been used as his private parking lot.
Besides Kieran’s car, only those permitted explicitly by Kieran could enter.
So when the elevator door opened, Julie didnt follow Kieran out
But she pressed the button for the ground floor. Unfortunately, Kieran didn’t leave. Instead, he stood at
the elevator door, blocking it.
“Mr. Hernandez, do you need anything? Julie asked
“You left your medicine in my carst night. Kieran looked at his car parked not far away and told Julie.
Julie knew that if she didn’t take her medicine back now, Kieran might ask her why she left in a hurry
last night.
Andst night, she had made her feelings so clear that it made their rtionship awkward. She could
hardly imagine whether she could get along with Kieran peacefully
So Julie ended up walking towards Kieran’s car
This time, Kieran didn’t reach out to help her or hold her. He just followed her.
When Julie reached the car, Kieran unlocked it, went straight to the driver’s seat, and fastened his
seatbelt.
Julie looked at Kieran through the car window ‘Mr Hernandez, where is the medicine?”
In the passenger seat”
Julie walked around to the passenger side and opened the door.
“Get in, and I’ll give you a ride” Kieran suddenly said to Julie. His tone was natural and casual, without
any coercion.
Since meeting Kieran, Julie seemed to have never heard him speak in such a tone, so when Kieran
said this, Julie’s first reaction was to freeze. “You said it’s a work injury, right? I can give you a ride
back. Kieran said.
Right, this was indeed a work injury
Since she didn’t have to work, Julie wanted to use the time to handle some house stuff. Since Kieran
was going her way, she hopped in his car.
Their rtionship had gotten awkward as hell yesterday, but today, Kieran seemed to be treating her
differently.
On the way to her rental, Julie kept staring out the window, almost to the point of getting a crick in her
neck.
Kieran was quiet, so if Julie didn’t start a conversation, he sure as hell wasn’t going to. It had always
been like this.
But the one who changed was Julie. Before, if she had a chance to sit next to him, she could chat non–
stop, always talking about all sorts of things with Kieran
Most of the time, she even swore to Kieran that she would marry him someday.
With Julie’s silence, the car stayed quiet until the air felt like it was about to solidify. Only then did
Kieran stop the car in front of her house.
ncing at the front door below, Julie felt relieved that thendlord hadn’t locked her out today.
With an unfamiliar tone, Julie said to Kieran, “Thanks.”
Then, she opened the car door and headed towards the front door.
Kieran nced at the anti–inmmatory pills on the passenger seat, a meaningful smile on his lips.
He thought to himself, with Julie’s habits, she always forgot things, no matter where she went. This was
a habit Julie probably won’t ever shake off.
He picked up the anti–inmmatory pills from the passenger seat, pushed open the car door, and
started walking
“Julie,” Kieran’s voice reached Julie’s ears.
His voice was deep and pleasant, and Julie instinctively stopped and turned around.
Kieran walked up to her and stopped.
“What?” Julie looked at Kieran calmly, then saw the anti–inmmatory pills in his hand.
She quickly realized that Kieran hade after her because of this, so she reached out her hand to
him and politely said, “Thanks.”
Her ‘thanks‘ seemed to iste them into the most familiar strangers.
Kieran stood in front of Julie, looking down at her with a deep gaze
The ne tree by the street was shedding leaves. The golden leaves fell from the tree,nding on the
road in front of them.
The sound of the falling leaves was somewhat pleasant..
Julie kept her hand out, waiting for Kieran to hand over the anti–inmmatory pills.
But they just stared at each other as if in a trance.
In the end, it was Julie who snapped back to reality first.
She awkwardly pulled her hand back.
However, just as she pulled back her hand, Kieran bent over and grabbed her wrist.
Julie was gently pulled by him, and she jumped two steps towards him
Kieran didn’t make any further moves, just ced the anti–inmmatory pills in Julie’s palm: Three
times a day, two pills each time”
“Oh, thanks,” Julie said, trying to pull her hand back but found that Kieran’s hand was tightly gripping
her wrist. Like it was stuck with super glue, he wouldn’t let go
Julie tried hard to pull her hand back.
Despite her several attempts, Kieran didn’t react.
It wasn’t until she decided to give up resisting that he finally let go.
This time, Julie didn’t even say goodbye. She just turned and left.
“About what you saidst night” Kieran started from behind.
Julie cut him off, “Some things I only say once. If you can’t remember, it’s fine, just pretend I never said
it.”
Some words that hurt, she didn’t want to repeat because every time she said such words, she was
hurting herself.
Julie didn’t turn around, and she just kept walking forward with determination.
Suddenly, a bucket of dirty water flew out of nowhere, heading straight for Julie.
At that moment, Kieran instinctively rushed over and pushed Julie out of the way.
