Chapter 2269 Bringing it up, Stella suddenly perked up. "This money is from my betting winnings. Jaylene put in nearly a hundred thousand, so of course, I'm happy to make sprofit off her. I'm not keeping it all to myself; I'll transfer half to you." "Mrs. Kane is quite generous," Keegan chuckled, sending a screenshot of the transfer and then refunding the money. "Hold onto it forfor now. I'll ask for it when I need it." "Then I'll just spend it all for you." Keegan smirked. "Then you're now 'pawned' to me." Stella paused. "Keegan, cut the cheesy lines." Keegan was struck speechless.
Aldor Hart was driving and couldnt help but chuckle at Stella's remark.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKeegan shot him a glare.
Stella said, "See, even Aldor finds those lines cheesy." Aldor quickly clarified, "No, I think it's nice. Mr. Kane speaks from the heart. n Stella said, "I know. He says it to my face, and I can see from his expression that he means it. But when I don't see his face, I can't help but feel harassed and want to call the police." Aldor couldn't hold back this tand burst out laughing.
Keegan frowned. "Find something funny? If you like laughing so much, then laugh while you drive!" "Don't bully Aldor," Stella defended firmly.
Aldor was just thinking of "clinging to Mrs. Kane; she knows how to protect her own," when Stella said, "They're going on a date tonight, and he'll complain to Aurora, then your troubles will begin." Aldor's smile froze on his face. He had indeed clung to the wrong thigh.
Keegan glanced suspiciously at Aldor, asking Stella, "How do you know they're going on a date?" Stella hesitated for a moment. "Last night, when you went to shower, Aldor cto pick up Aurora. He cover the day before yesterday too, and this week, he's been here three times! Keegan, you never noticed?" Keegan was bewildered; he had no idea. Every day, when he passed by Aurora's room upstairs, he heard music coming from inside, and he assumed she was already in bed.
He didn't object to Aurora interacting with Aldor, but in the dead of night? What kind of meeting was that? Keegan glanced at Aldor, who felt like Keegan's gaze was sharper than when he interviewed him years ago, sending chills down his spine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmStella was exasperated. "Keegan, if you can't even watch over your own family, what about your own daughter? When you have a daughter, you won't even know when she's been kidnapped." Keegan was speechless.
He couldn't argue with Stella, so he glared at Aldor. "What are you doing with her so late at night?" Aldor was sweating. "Nothing, just... night fishing." Keegan nodded, then remembered something and said to Stella, "Maybe take this opportunity to change that driver, put him in a different department."
Stella said, "I'd like to, but this incident just happened, and now he's in a hurry to earn money to get his son a cochlear implant. At his age, in the company, he either does janitorial work or security, neither of which pays as much as being a driver," she sighed. "I can't help but feel it's a bit heartless to replace him now."
Keegan said, "You can't just consider his hardships. Even if he's facing difficulties, making a mistake is a fact. You've managed to prevent him from being fired, but a mistake is still From bein a mistake. When you discipline your subordinates, you can't be too harsh, but you also can't be too lenient. If you just let it go, others will think you're easy to talk to, and then think you're easy to push around. Without fear, can you still manage people?" Stella found his reasoning sound, just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard a commotion at the door.
She hung up the phone first, got up, and went to the door, pulling it open.
Outside, Larry was kneeling stiffly in the corridor, surrounded by a group of people who had gathered at spoint, gossiping and whispering. When they saw her open the door, their voices abruptly stopped.
