Chapter 20
Everyone looked at him. Keegan only managed to stop coughing after a long time. He looked unhappy.
No one dared to speak. They thought Keegan was unsatisfied with the statement made just now. Keegan turned his head and softly said something to Aldor with a gloomy face. He then turned back and coldly said, “Go on.”
Everyone was relieved. Aldor then quietly left the conference room.
In the lobby downstairs, Stella was sitting on the couch listlessly going through the magazine on the table. Someone hurriedly approached her from behind, and Aldor’s voice could then be heard. “Mrs. Kane, why didn’t you give me a call before you came?”
The receptionist who led the way was so shocked that his pupils dilated!
‘She’s really the wife of Mr. Kane! Why did Mr. Kane say that he didn’t know her?! No. None of these matters. The problem is that I took those kinds of pictures of Mrs. Kane just now!‘
His face turned ashen. He suddenly felt like all the top five hundred companies would no longer hire him.‘ What kind of game were they playing?‘
Stella put down the magazine. “I called you. But it looks like you were very busy, and you didn’t hear my phone call.”
Obviously, Aldor knew that Stella had called him. But Keegan ordered him not to pick up her call. So, he could only ignore it.
Aldor acted as if he could not tell that Stella was being sarcastic. He then said, “I’m so sorry. I was in a meeting just now. My phone was in my office. This is on me for not communicating properly with the receptionist of the secretary’s office before I left. He’s a newly hired employee. So, it’s inevitable that he missed something. Sorry for the trouble, Mrs. Kane. Please follow me.”
‘He explained so flawlessly. I would’ve believed him if I didn’t hear Keegan say that he didn’t know me.
‘They’re both terrible people!’
Just when they got off the elevator, Aldor asked, “Mrs. Kane, why did you come to the office?”
Stella lifted up the bag she was holding, “I have something that I need Keegan to help me to pass to his
mother.”
