Keegan frowned. “Didn’t you say that he’s very attentive? How could someone attentive splash hot water on you?”
Keegan’s complaining tone caught Stella off guard. She then smiled, hugged his arm, and leaned on his shoulder. “It’s not that serious. Why are you so angry?
You’re always very forgiving when your subordinates make a mistake.” “How is this not serious? Is that blister not bad enough? I knew that hiring someone younger would be better. He’s so clumsy!” Keegan said with a stem face.
“Although Larry might be a little older, he reacted quickly and stepped in to help me when the other candidate wanted to hurt me during the interview. Besides, he’s been driving for a long time and stays by his family’s side despite their conditions.
“He seems like a very responsible person. We can’t always favor young people, can we? After all, didn’t your company start hiring older applicants too?”
Keegan snorted. “Stop making so many excuses. You’re just overly sympathetic and don’t like owing anyone favors.”
Stella sighed. “Both his wife and son are disabled. I’m sure he’s living a difficult life. I don’t have high demands for a driver, so why not give him a chance?
Besides, he has stayed in his lane and gotten his work done since I hired him.
“I can’t possibly fire him just because he accidentally splashed hot water on me, right? How ungrateful and heartless would that make me look?”
Keegan kept quiet for a moment as he gently caressed her hand. He then said in a low voice, “I just don’t feel safe without having someone I can trust around you. You have your principles, but I also want my peace of mind.
“You can choose who you want to be your driver, but I’m going to get you a personal assistant.”
Stella was shocked. “Personal assistant? Even Darcie doesn’t have one. How could the Vice President have a personal assistant? Don’t you think it’s a little unnecessary?”
