Chandler’s expression turned cold upon hearing Keegan’s request. Cordelia glanced sharply at Jackson, who wore a gloomy expression and said, “You better start taking this job seriously, boy. Your cousin is giving you a golden opportunity here. I’ll have no choice but to send you to the western branch if you don’t keep your act up.”
“Yes, Grandma,” Jackson replied with a tense look.
Then, Cordelia put down her cup and said, “Keegan, you should consider giving Aurora a job as well. It doesn’t have to be a high position, just one where she can learn something.”
Keegan glanced at Aurora, who stiffened her back and pursed her lips. She avoided making eye contact with him because if she did, her mind would be flooded with memories of how he dragged her out of Chandler’s house and handed her over to the police. All the care and affection she had received in the past became a nightmare. Her days in the detention center haunted her, filling her with fear and resentment.
Keegan fell silent for a moment before saying, “She can enter the secretary department. I’ll have Aldor mentor her.’
Aldor was baffled by the suggestion. He looked at his boss somewhat d isg runt led ly and thought, ‘Couldn’t they just hire a nanny to look after that girl?’
Cordelia seemed satisfied with the arrangement. Aldor was Keegan’s protdg£ and would undoubtedly become a key figure in the company’s leadership. His capabilities and approach to handling matters were excellent. By assigning Aurora to Aldor, Keegan was showing that he was taking her under his wings.
“Do you accept your brother’s arrangement, Aurora? Or do you have anything to say?” Cordelia inquired.
Aurora kept her head down and replied, “I accept.”
Cordelia nodded and said, “That’s settled then. Aldor, take Aurora to complete the onboarding process so that she can start working tomorrow.”
Aldor reluctantly accepted the task and said, “Follow me, Ms. Kane.”
Aurora hesitated and followed Aldor out.
Cordelia then turned her attention to Chandler and Jackson. She rubbed her forehead and waved her hand dismissively, saying, “You two should also leave. I can’t believe you asked me to come down here for such a trivial matter. You’re giving me a headache.”
‘I wasn’t the one who asked you to come down here,’ thought Chandler. However, knowing Cordelia’s bias towards Keegan, he took his son and left with a sullen face. Baldwin also left the room shortly after.
