Chapter 1209
‘Why does Ms. Jewell seem unusually compliant and understanding today? And, what’s up with Mr. Kane? He looks a little annoyed. Didn’t Mr. Snyder say that they were killing it? Why doesn’t it feel like it?’ thought Aldor.
“Are you sure?” Keegan asked Stella coldly.
Stella immediately nodded and said, ‘Yes. I’m sure.”
Keegan snorted in response.
Realizing that she was in the wrong, Stella approached him and said, “Are you alright, Mr. Kane? You’ve been playing along with me all day. Do you want a shoulder massage?’
Keegan glanced at her and moved closer. Stella then immediately started to massage his shoulders.
Seeing that, Aldor’s eyes widened. ‘Did Mr. Kane and Ms. Jewell exchange statuses?’
“Can you put a bit more effort into it? Haven’t you eaten already?” Keegan demanded discontentedly.
Stella gritted her teeth, wanting to hit him, but decided otherwise. After all, she was the one who had been unreasonable before. So, she put on a nice smile and said, ‘Sure, Mr. Kane. Is this okay?”
“Uh… It’s alright,” Keegan replied.
Seeing Stella sweat despite the cool autumn weather, Aldor considerately turned on the air conditioner.
When Stella felt the breeze, she immediately said, “Can you please turn off the air conditioner, Aldor?”
Aldor was puzzled. “Isn’t it hot back there, Madam?”
Stella shook her head. “It is, but I don’t deserve the special treatment. Mr. Kane worked so hard today in supporting me and my plan. Yet, I still made him mad. Running the air conditioner will consume more fuel, and fuel costs so much right now. I’m not worthy of spending Mr. Kane’s hard- earned money when he’s mad at me.”
