Chapter 81 There is a trap
So, just a week after Arthur and Lucia returned to work, the plane from Kenya arrived with Kane and Juliana safely at Atgate’s airport.
When he got off the plane and came to the luggage conveyor belt, Kane took Juliana’s luggage for her as a gentleman, and Juliana smiled brightly and said:
“No, I’ve always done physical work. Don’t look at me as a petite girl, but I’m very strong!”
“Yeah?” Kane catered with a smile.
“Of course,” Juliana said to Kane as she walked while holding the luggage pole herself: “Archaeology is a very rigorous work, sometimes we encounter some special excavation environment, and we are not sure about the workers carrying the stones for fear that they will accidentally destroy the remains, so we are all on our own hands.”
Juliana said also Kane showed her palms, indeed, in her palms at the roots of the fingers have accumulated thick calluses, hands are not like ordinary women so soft and white, with a healthy and natural skin tone.
Kane smiled but did not say anything, thinking that Juliana herself and her name temperament is very different, if only by name, will definitely think she is a gentle lady, but look at the real her, a wheat-colored healthy skin, small but slender and moving, sweet face only a thin layer of makeup, even in the middle of winter, as soon as you see her smile is like seeing the sun.
If Poppy can also be so sunny and bright …
Kane couldn’t help but think of the woman he loved, then sighed quietly in his heart.
He has no right to blame Poppy’s pursuit of materialistic desires, after all, that is the most primitive greed of human nature, he is just heartbroken that she is gradually living without self, without happiness.
Juliana, it’s almost like the opposite of Poppy.
“So this is Athegate!” While Kane was thinking about Poppy, they had walked outside the airport and Juliana said happily as she looked at the sky of Atgate.
Although she had just met Arthur at Christmas, Juliana still missed her old friend, especially because last time she always felt that Arthur was in a strange mood, but unfortunately, he was evasive when asked, so she must talk to him this time.
“Well, there’s no heavy snow in Athegate, but it’s very foggy, and you’re dressed so thinly, so you still need to keep warm.” Kane still kindly reminded.
Sensing Kane’s concern, Juliana turned her head to give him a big smile and said, “Mr. Fletcher, thank you.”
“It’s better to just call me Kane.” Infected by Juliana’s smile, Kane smiled back.
“Okay, I’ll call you Kane from now on, you can just call me Julia, but don’t ever call me Juliana, literally.” Juliana generously spit out herself, Kane smile deepened.
Now that she was out of the airport, Juliana thought it was time to say goodbye, but she was just about to find her own car when Kane stopped her: “Julia, wait a minute, I want to introduce you to a friend.”
“Friends?” Juliana asked, puzzled
.
“Well, friend.” Kane smiled and nodded, looked around the airport and saw the conspicuous red Ferrari parked on the outer aisle, Kane raised his hand and waved towards the car, and in a moment he saw Poppy, dressed in mink and heavy makeup, get out of the car and walk towards them.
Juliana saw Poppy, she thought it was Kane’s girlfriend, and frowned slightly, always feeling a little uncomfortable, especially since Poppy was dressed in the kind of outfit she disliked the most.
It is luxurious to the extreme, but as vulgar as possible.
But since it was Kane’s girlfriend, Juliana continued to put a smile on her face as she watched Poppy walk up to them.
“Hello, it’s Miss Knight, right? I’m a friend of Kane’s from my hometown, I heard him say that you are an archaeologist, I used to admire this profession, so I asked him to introduce us to each other, I’m Poppy, you can just call me Poppy.” Poppy smiled and greeted Juliana generously as soon as she reached her, but her heart was bellyaching at her.
What is this dress ah? An old are off-color jeans, a thin jacket, inside seems to be a bottoming undershirt, winter dressed like this is really strange, and the skin color, dark, looks like a few days without a bath.
Underneath Poppy’s smile, Juliana has been disliked from head to toe.
“Miss Powell, hi, I’m Juliana,” Juliana always felt that Poppy was looking at herself strangely, but she greeted politely, but she didn’t call Poppy’s name directly.
Poppy frowned slightly because Juliana deliberately remained polite, and felt in her heart that she was a bit insensitive, but then quickly collected her emotions and continued to smile: “Miss Knight, you just got off the plane tired, I’ll take you to rest first, I’ve already booked the hotel.”
“Wait …” Juliana was a little confused, she had told Kane a long time ago that she was coming back to visit Arthur, why did this Poppy seem to be entertaining herself? So she politely refused, “Don’t bother, I have friends over here.”
“I know, Mr. Davies, right?” Poppy asked softly as a smile grew on her face.
“You know Arthur?” asked Juliana, subconsciously finding the smile on Poppy’s face uncomfortable and frowning slightly.
“I don’t know him well, but with his girlfriend, it’s an old acquaintance.” Poppy flashed a cold light under his eyes and returned.
“Arthur has a girlfriend?!” Juliana was surprised, it was the first time she heard about it.
“Of course, and, she and I are very close, and this time I asked Kane to introduce us to each other, for more than my admiration for archaeologists, I would like to talk to you about some things that are of immediate interest to Mr. Davies, and I wonder if Miss Knight, is interested?” Poppy winked and let out the bait.
Juliana looked at Poppy and hesitated for a long time, feeling that this person could not be trusted, but when she turned her head to look at Kane, she saw that he was faintly
Smiling at herself, Juliana still nodded, after all, Kane is still trustworthy, well, then she will ‘get to know her’.
So, Juliana, who had just returned home and arrived in Athegate, did not contact Arthur, nor did she inform anyone of her return, and just followed Poppy to her red Ferrari and checked into the hotel she had arranged for herself.
Kane had his own home in Athegate, but he was afraid Juliana would not fit in, so he sent her to the hotel with Poppy, and after she put her luggage away, Poppy said to her:
“Miss Knight, in the evening I have opened a luxury room for you in the hotel, consider it as a reception for you, now you have a good rest, I have instructed the hotel service staff to send up dinner for you, I will come back to you around seven o’clock.”
Juliana turned her head to Kane and asked, “Kane, will you be coming over tonight too?”
With Kane around, Juliana would feel more at ease, not to mention that she wouldn’t be standing here if it weren’t for her trust in him.
“Well, I’ll come too.” Kane replied with a smile.
Juliana then looked to Poppy and replied, “Well, thank you then.”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
Poppy and Juliana polite a few words and said not to disturb her rest, so with Kane left the room, and after Juliana closed the door, Poppy said to Kane in a flirtatious tone: “It seems that Juliana has a very good feeling for you ah.”
