Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted (Stella and Keegan) novel Chapter 2027

As Aldor checked the reports Aurora had worked on, he chuckled. “Mr. Kane is very focused when he works, often losing track of time. He doesn’t always mean to delay everyone’s time.

“If you have something to attend to, you can go first. I’ll give Mr. Kane a heads up later,” he continued.

Aurora rolled her eyes. “Everyone else is still here. Wouldn’t it mean I’m getting special treatment if I leave early? Keegan would definitely scold me again later.

Besides, have you forgotten that Grandma asked you to go to her place for dinner tonight?”

“Can I not go?” Aldor seemed conflicted. Cordelia was rather cunning; dinner at her place meant he had to be careful.

“Sure. But you have to inform her yourself,” said Aurora.

Aldor remained silent. He glanced at Aurora, who was sipping some water, and said, “Tell your grandma we’re going on a date tonight. Say you want some alone time with me.”

Aurora spat out a mouthful of water. Her face turned red as she said, “Who wants to spend time with you alone? If you have something to say, say it yourself. I’m not going to embarrass myself.”

“Fine, I’ll tell her.” Aldor set aside his work and dialed Cordelia’s number.

Aurora perked up, curious to see how Aldor would navigate this situation.

Once the call connected, Aldor stated, “Mrs. Kane Sr., can we skip dinner tonight? It’s nothing major. It’s just that there’s a festival today, and Aurora wants to go with me…”

Aurora’s face darkened, ‘Why is he throwing me under the bus?!’ She was about to erupt when Aldor fed her a piece of chocolate, smiling as he spoke into the phone, “Of course. I’ll make sure Aurora takes tons of pictures for you to see.”
