Chapter 120
Just like that, Julie got kicked out of Creative Nexus Media by Nexus before she could spit out the
crucial information.
Realizing Nexus couldn’t help her, Julie knew she had to solve the root problem to get out of that mess.
That problem was Kieran. Only by dealing with him can she truly solve the issue.
Remembering her previous experience of being chased around at a café, Julie decided to hail a cab to
find a new ce to live. She knew she couldn’t keep living with Kieran, and finding a new ce was the
most important task at that time.
She found a real estate agency and picked a reasonably priced small house. Because she forgot to
bring cash, she spent a lot of time convincing the agent to ept online payment. She paid the rent
first, then the deposit, and finally secured the
house.
Arriving at the Simpo Co. building. Julie called Karl, “Karl, it’s Julie.”
“What’s up, Attorney Abraham?” Karl probably referred to her formally because there were people
around. He usually called
her Mrs.
Sitting in the taxi, Julie quietly said to Karl, “Can you help me get my purse? Right now, I…”
“I’m sorry, Attorney Abraham, but I returned your purse to Mr. Hernandez this morning. I got things to
do; I have to go.” Karl hung up before Julie could respond.
“Hello… Julie stared at her hung-up phone, then at the reporters surrounding the entrance of the
company. Finally, she decided to call Kieran.
With hope in her voice, Julie finally heard Kieran’s voice on the other end, “What?”
“Mr. Hernandez, can you bring my bag home when you return?” Julie asked humbly.
But Kieran replied, “No”
“Could you send someone to deliver it to me?” Julie asked again.
Standing by the window, Kieran responded, “Are you paying my sry? Or my employees’? You’re
skipping work, and now you want to usepany resources? Ordering my employees around is
something my wife can do…”
Before Kieran could finish, Julie hung up. He stared at the hung-up call, a smirk on his face.
Julie stared at her phone for a while, then got out of the car. She walked carefully around to the back
entrance of thepany, only to find it surrounded by reporters as well.
Just as she was at a loss, a white Santana pulled up in front of her, honking its horn.
Julie quickly pulled up her cor to cover her face and looked at the car. The window rolled down, and
Julie saw Dn inside.
“Get in.” Dn winked at Julie with a joyful smile on his face.
Seeing Dn was like spotting a lifeline. Julie quickly opened the car door and got in, asking, “Mr.
Dn, are we going to the underground parking lot?”
“Got the press on your tail?” Dn asked back with a smile before answering. “I’m here to drop off a
car for Kerry.”
“A car?” Julie looked at the Santana she was sitting in. Though she wasn’t well-versed in cars, she
knew a little about tes. And after observing the interior decor, she didn’t think the car matched
Kieran’s style.
Dn exined, “You can use this car to evade press surveince. I’ll drive Kieran’s carter to distract
the reporters.”
Julie stayed silent, not knowing what to say. She turned to look at Dn, at his slightly upturned lips,
and smiled faintly.
With his good looks, Dn smoothly made his way into the VIP parking area.
Julie lost count of how many times she had ridden the elevator with Dn. Perhaps due to her
extensive experience, she didn’t feel awkward.
Suddenly, she remembered that Dn was a pathologist. She had heard from Kieran that Dn had
performed Bertha’s autopsy. Thinking of that, Julie turned to Dn and asked, “Mr. Dn, may I ask
you a few questions?”
Dn, hands in his trench coat pockets, smiled slightly, “How many?”
“Huh?” Julie looked at Dn, slightly taken aback.
Dnughed, “I’m just kidding, go ahead!”
“Did Bertha… reallymit suicide?” Julie asked hesitantly.
Dn paused for a moment before asking, “Why do you ask?”
Julieughed and shook her head to cover up. “No reason. I’ve just heard that official news isn’t always
true, so I wanted to confirm…”
“I’ve exined this clearly to Kerry. You can ask him. I don’t like exining the same question twice.”
As soon as Dn finished, the elevator doors opened.
Dn nodded at Julie and asked with a smile, “Shall we go together?”
Julie didn’t want to walk directly to Kieran’s office in front of the public, so she shook her head and said,
“I left some files in my office. I need to pick them up.”
Watching Julie leave quickly, Dn smiled and knocked on Kieran’s office door.
Back in her office, Julie texted Kieran, “I’m in the office now. Can you leave my bag when you go?”
Julie nned to get her bag after work, but soon she received a reply from Kieran. He simply replied,
“Come get it now, or I’ll throw it away. You have five minutes.”
Julie spent a minute cursing Kieran in her mind, a minute preparing for the worst, and finally, three
minutes running to Kieran’s office under everyone’s gaze. She knocked on the door, panting heavily,
and heard Kieran’s cold and maic voice from inside, “Come in.”
Julie walked in and Dn was gone. Julie went straight to the point and asked Kieran, “Where’s my
bag?”
Kieran didn’t answer Julie’s question. Instead, he picked up his car keys from the desk, casually tossed
his zer over his wrist, walked up to Julie, took her hand, and headed for the door.
Julie struggled behind him. “Let go of me first; just give me my bag, and we’re good! What on earth are
you up to?”
“I’m leaving early. Is that a crime? Employees can take leave whenever; can’t I leave early?” Kieran
retorted confidently.
Julle was led out of the office by him.
The working staff, seeing that, stopped what they were doing. Nobody expected Mr. Hernandez to walk
out of the office hand in hand with a merewyer. It was as if they were publicly announcing their
rtionship!

“Kieran, let go!” Julie warned Kieran in a low voice.
He looked back at her and whispered, “Would you rather I carry you to the elevator?”
Julie fell silent and obediently followed Kieran into the elevator. Once inside, she quieted down. She
should have been interrogating him, but she was so quiet you could hear her breath.
The elevator stopped at the parking lot. Kieran opened the passenger door for Julie, who climbed in
and buckled her seat belt.
“Your purse is in the backseat,” Kieran said.
He had asked Dn to bring it down earlier.
Julie nced at the backseat, unbuckled her seat belt, retrieved her purse, and sat back down. There
were probably still reporters outside. It wouldn’t be smart to create a scene now.
Both she and Kieran lived at Noblewood Retreat. Although they were just roommates, if the press
found out, they would surely spin it into a romantic rtionship. So, it was best for her to return to
Noblewood Retreat with Kieran and move out the next day.
Kieran didn’t say much to the silent Julie and just drove.
Their car didn’t attract any media attention, and they managed to leave thepany smoothly. But
Julie noticed that they weren’t heading towards Noblewood Retreat. She looked at Kieran and asked,
“Are we picking up Ivan from school?”
“Noah’s picking up the kid, Kieran replied casually.
“Then where are we going?” Julie asked again.
Kieran nced at Julie and said, “There are reporters all over Noblewood Retreat. Do you want to go
back with me? I don’t mind.”
But she did mind!!
Julie frowned and asked Kieran, “So where are we going?”
“We’re going to a hotel,” Kieran replied in a deep tone.
Julie was taken aback and then turned to Kieran, “So, your solution is not to go back to Noblewood
Retreat but to go to a hotel to avoid media spection?”
Julie let out a sarcasticugh, “Mr. Hernandez, your way of thinking is truly unique.”
Wouldn’t going to a hotel cause more misunderstanding?
The car soon stopped in front of Starlight Haven Hotel. Julie turned to look, and her face changed
immediately at the sight of the grand fountain at the entrance. Out of all the hotels, why choose
Starlight Haven Hotel? She would never believe it if Kieran said he didn’t do it on purpose.
Seeing Julie’s expression, Kieran smirked, “What’s the matter? Scared I’m going to bed you again after
what happenedst time?”
“You’re the epitome of shamelessness,” Julie shot Kieran a nce.
Before she could finish, Kieran put a ck baseball cap on her head. Then he affectionately said,
“You’re getting bolder, even daring to call me shameless.”
Julie pulled the cap lower and replied, “I didn’t call you shameless; I just said shameless people are like
you.”
Julie got out of the car and followed Kieran into the hotel. She had a feeling that she had a lot to talk
about with him and at lot of questions to ask.
