Chapter 2245 Jaylene figured Keegan must still be grappling with what went down at Cotton Rose Restaurant earlier, uncertain howto face her. And after she got hurt by his aunt later, he must be feeling particularly guilty, hence his careful consideration of his replies.
Glancing at the message box, Keegan asked, "What did you reply?" With irritation, Stella responded, 'Nothing seems to satisfy you. How am I supposed to know what to say? I'm clueless." Before the words could settle, Jaylene's message popped up. "Keegan, about what happened at the restaurant that day, my mom was being pushy.
I understand why you replied like that; you had no choice. I don't blyou. N Stella and Keegan exchanged looks, both falling silent.

Stella replied, "How's your health? I'm sorry about the Crosby family matter." Jaylene becmore certain that Keegan's lack of recent contact was due to this, and quickly replied, "I'm okay, Keegan. As long as you don't hold it againstfor taking matters into my own hands." Stella said, "Take care of yourself." Jaylene sent a cute emoji.
"Keegan, aren't you having a birthday party?" Stella replied, "No, not in the mood." Jaylene felt a bit disappointed; she actually wanted to see him.
After typing her confession, and recalling Darcie's advice, she deleted it letter by letter, waiting for Stella to be kicked out of the company.
Jaylene was still typing when a message popped up on the other end.
"I heard from Stella that your company has a competition recently. Are you very busy?" Jaylene replied, "Yes, there's a National PerfBlending Competition, and registration has already started." Stella said, "All the best." Jaylene replied with two laughing emojis. "Keegan, I'm not participating. Only senior perfblending technicians can enter. I haven't gotten my certification yet, so I can only participate as an assistant. A technician can bring one assistant to participate, so I guess we can consider it a team championship. But I'll be eligible to participate independently in the next round, so it won't be necessary then." Stella commented, "It seems your teammate is strong, with such confidence in winning the championship." She had checked the backgrounds of those senior technicians in the company, and the most accomplished one had only won third place. How was Jaylene so confident she could win the championship this time? Jaylene replied, 'My mom said she will arrange for someone to join the company in a few days. With her help, the championship will be secured." If she remembered correctly, this championship not only had a prize of five million, but also qualified for membership in the International Perf
Association. This qualification was and rare nationwide, but those who were involved in fragrance and those business partners still valued it, such as Mrs. Esper and others. Darcie had stacked all the buffs on Jaylene; she was determined to win this championship to support her.
Stella was worried, even when Keegan took off his shirt and walked back and forth in front of her, she wasn't interested in looking.

Keegan, upset that the muscles he had been training for so long were g being ignored/walked over and knelt beside the bed, calling her, "Stella." Stella responded with a grunt, without even lifting her eyes.
Keegan reached out and took her phone away. "Stella, look at me." Stella finally looked up but grabbed her phone back. "Stop messing around, go play somewhere else." Keegan gritted his teeth, took her hand, and placed it on his abdomen.
Stella was stunned, only then noticing that Keegan was actually kneeling on the bed in his suit pants.
His waist was slim and sturdy, and his waist wh his muscles were perfectly defined. The faintly protruding veins on his arms were so sexy, and the shallow scars on his waist and abdomen made Stella feel tempted. The worries she had just now were instantly pushed aside. She looked at Keegan with burning eyes and whispered, "Where's your belt?' X
