Chapter 9: Chapter 9

Julia kept to her promise of taking the day off and spending it with Jeremy. He was so elated, he did everything possible to show her off by taking her on a date.

Julia knew he was only doing it for the press as he loved publicity. She tried to mask her unease during their date, as she didn't want to show any reaction that would give away the fact that she was irritated by his actions, as he couldn't keep his hands to himself. He kept touching her at inappropriate places at any chance he got. She had to pretend to be fine with it.

'Things she had to do for dad.' Julia thought to herself, using the thoughts of her father as a consolation.

The date ended to Julia's relief. Jeremy drove her home. He had wanted to stay a while longer at her place but, she pretended to be tired after the date so he'd leave. After he left she took a shower and went straight to bed.
