Chapter 14
Kieran was right there, with a tablet in his hands, looking like he was checking out some important emails. He was always like this, not wasting a second, even on the road, he’d either be catching some z’s or handling other stuff. People always said a man was most attractive when he was serious, and Julie totally bought that idea. Just like Kieran right now, who was calmly gazing at the computer screen. His whole vibe was even more magnetic than when he was at a photo shoot.
“Driver, stop the car!” Julie shouted the moment she saw Kieran.
“Miss, this is the inner ring expressway, where do you want me to pull over?”
Julie glanced outside, and her brows furrowed. When did they get on the expressway? She hadn’t noticed.
“Scared of me?” Keiran’s voice sounded a bit teasing, and a smirk appeared on his face. Even though he was focused on the tablet screen, his deep, sexy voice was like a knife to Julie’s heart.
Julie pursed her lips, trying to look expressionless. She turned to him, giving him a hollow smile. “Not scared. Just annoyed.”
“Oh, is that so? You didn’t seem to think so when you were asking me for money at the hotel yesterday.”
Kieran gracefully put away his tablet, and his deep eyes landed on her petite face.
Julie glanced at the driver; he had obviously misunderstood their relationship and was quietly gripping the steering wheel.
Julie couldn’t be bothered to explain; she just glared at him, feeling utterly annoyed. “Mr. Hernandez, could you not act like we’re close in public spaces?”
“So how should I treat you then?” Kieran said as his deep eyes twinkled with mischief.
Julie deadpanned, “Mr. Hernandez, if you see me, take a detour or pretend you don’t know me.”
“Can’t do it.” He answered simply.
He slightly opened his cool lips, squinting his deep eyes. He said, “Why don’t you teach me how to pretend not to know a woman. I’ve shared a bed with for three years, five months, and twenty–four days?”
Julie felt like she was struck by lightning after hearing the precise number.
She composed herself and put on her emotionless mask, smiling at Kieran. “Who knew Mr. Hernandez could be so shameless?”
Kieran calmly asked her, “And compared to when you were chasing after me, who’s the real winner now?”
Julie’s face turned a bit red.
Daphne had once said, “Ms. Abraham, you’re the most shameless, outrageous, boastful, and unparalleled woman I’ve ever met! You probably have never cared about anyone’s opinion in your entire life!”
You have to understand that in order to pursue Kieran, she not only didn’t care about her own image but was even willing to give up all principles and moral standards.
Kieran’s gaze was like poison. Julie had spent a lot of time and energy removing the damage he had caused from her body, and she didn’t want to fall into that trap again.
So, when the driver exited the inner ring expressway, Julie practically jumped out of the car. However, when closing the door, her dress got ruthlessly caught.
Just as Julie was about to open the door again, she heard Kieran’s calm instruction from inside the car, “Driver, lock the doors.”
Julie quickly moved to the door, but she wasn’t fast enough. She yanked the door twice, but it was locked. Julie took a deep breath and yelled at the man in the car, “Open the door!”
The window slowly rolled down. The handsome man in the backseat gave a slight smile and casually said, “What door?”
“Obviously the car door, what else could it be?” Julie angrily kicked the car door.
Kieran sat quietly in the backseat. His thick eyebrows, somewhat narrow eyes, and straight nose, which seemed like it was carved with a knife, were all perfect. Right now, he was biting his thin lips, and his tone had a distant and noble vibe. He said to her, “Beg me.”
