So, just a week after Arthur and Lucia returned to work, the plane arriving from Kenya with Kane and Juliana landed safely at Athegate's airport.
When they got off the plane and came to the luggage conveyor belt, Kane took the luggage for Juliana. Juliana said with a hearty smile,
"No need. I have always been doing work that requires physical strength. Although I look petite, I am very strong!"
"Really?" Kane responded with a smile.
"Of course," Juliana said to Kane while walking, holding the luggage rail by herself, "Archaeology is a very rigorous work. Sometimes we encounter some special excavation environments, and we worry about the workers when carrying stones, because we are afraid them will accidentally destroy the ruins. So we do it ourselves."
Juliana showed Kane her palm as she spoke. Sure enough, there were thick calluses on the base of her palm and fingers. Her hands were not as soft and fair as ordinary women, and she had a healthy and natural complexion.
Kane smiled without saying a word, thinking that Juliana herself and her name were very different in temperament. If people just listened to the name, they will definitely think that she was a gentle woman, but when looked at her for real, she had wheat-colored healthy skin. She was petite but slender and attractive. With only a light makeup on her sweet face, even in the middle of winter, as long as people saw her smile, it was like seeing the sun.
If only Poppy could be so sunny...
Kane couldn't help thinking of the woman he loved, and then sighed quietly in his heart.
He had no right to blame Poppy for pursuing materialistic desires. After all, it was the most primitive greed of human nature.
Juliana was literally the opposite of Poppy.
"So this is Athegate!" When Kane was thinking about Poppy, they had already walked outside the airport. Juliana said happily, looking at the sky of Athegate.
Although she just met Arthur on Christmas, Juliana still missed her old friend. Especially last time she always felt that Arthur was in a weird mood, but it was a pity that she was hesitant to ask him. This time she must chat with him.
"Well, there's no heavy snow in Athegate, but the fog is heavy. You're so thin. You have to keep warm." Kane reminded kindly.
Feeling Kane's concern, Juliana turned her head to give him a big smile and said, "Mr. Fletcher, thank you."
"Just call me Kane." Infected by Juliana's smile, Kane also said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll call you Kane in the future. You can call me Julia, but don't call me Juliana, the genteel one." Juliana complained generously to herself, and Kane smiled even brighter.
Now that she was out of the airport, Juliana thought it was time to say goodbye. She was just about to find a car when Kane stopped her, "Julia, wait a minute. I want to introduce you to a friend."
"Friend?" Juliana asked suspiciously.
"Well, my friend." Kane smiled and nodded. He looked around the airport, and saw a conspicuous red Ferrari parked on the outside road at a glance. Kane raised his hand and waved to the car. After a while, Poppy, heavily made-up in mink, got out of the car and walked towards them.
Juliana saw Poppy. She thought it was Kane's girlfriend, so she frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable. Especially Poppy's dress was the kind of look she didn't like the most.
"Of course, she has a very close relationship with me. This time I asked Kane to introduce us to each other. Not only for my admiration for archaeologists, but also for the vital interests of Mr. Davies. I don't know if you're interested?" Poppy blinked and released the bait.
Juliana looked at Poppy and hesitated for a long time. She always felt that this person could not be trusted, but when she turned to look at Kane, she saw that he was slightly smiling to her. Juliana nodded in the end. After all, Kane was still trustworthy. Well, then let's get to know her.
So, Juliana, who had just returned to Athegate, didn't contact Arthur, and didn't inform anyone about her return. She followed Poppy into her red Ferrari and checked into the hotel she arranged for her.
Kane had his own home in Athegate, but he was afraid that Juliana would not fit in, so he sent her to the hotel with Poppy. After she put her luggage, Poppy said to her,
"Miss Knight, I have luxury private room for you in the hotel at night. Just take it as a small welcoming party for you. Have a rest. I have told the hotel staff to bring dinner to you. I will come again around seven o'clock come to meet you."
Juliana turned to look at Kane and asked, "Kane, will you come over at night too?"
With Kane around, Juliana would feel more at ease, not to mention that she wouldn't be standing here if it wasn't for her trust in him.
"Well, I'll be there too." Kane replied with a smile.
Juliana then looked at Poppy and replied, "Okay, then thank you."
After a few polite words, Poppy said that they would not disturb her to rest, so she left the room with Kane. After Juliana closed the door, Poppy said to Kane in a teasing tone, "It seems Juliana has a very good impression of you."
