'How could I have any good ideas?' thought Sophia.Then, she said casually, "At least... Don't let her be unemployed. Transferring her to a different position would work too; dismissing her is too inhumane."Stella gave it some serious thought for a while. Then, she turned to Maya, "You really want to stay at the company?"Maya was desperate to keep her job, "I can do anything as long as I remain in the company."Stella turned to Keegan, "The truth is, I wanted to refer Maya to Mrs. Franklin's place so she could work there. I've already contacted her, and her salary will be the same as we give her. However, I'll dismiss Maya since she's sentimental about the company. We'll go with what Sophia said and let Maya work as a janitor at the company. Then Maya's wishes are fulfilled."Sophia twitched her lips.'Since when did I ask for Maya to become a janitor at the company?!' she thought.When Maya heard about working as a janitor at the company, she instantly turned red in embarrass
At this moment, Maya badly wanted to chew up Sophia for being big-mouthed.'Indeed, I don't want to lose my job; but that doesn't mean any job will do. Keegan's already taken a step back; even if I continue being on my high horse, nobody will side with me if Dahlia doesn't care about me. I don't want to lose my job, but they've already given me one. If I continue making a fuss, I'll be considered ungrateful,'Maya could only silently endure it all and fake a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Kane."Sophia still wanted to demonstrate her empathy, so she went to help Maya. However, Maya hurdled over the barrier and shoved her aside.Sophia stumbled and fell backward. The people around her were worried she would bump into them, so they hurriedly dodged.Then, Sophia fell right onto the ground in an embarrassing posture. Stella went up and reached out her hand, "Get up, Sophia. The floor is cold."Sophia gritted her teeth and said quietly, "Thank you, Stella."Just as she was about to place he
Stella suppressed the disgust she felt within and gave a perfunctory response. Then, she turned around and went to search for Keegan.Jackson followed Stella at an unhurried pace."It's said that you can see if a person is beautiful when they wear plain clothes; it turns out the saying is true," he said in a degrading tone as he glanced at Stella's chest. Then, he narrowed his eyes and whispered, "It's my first time seeing someone make a white blouse look this sexy."Jackson's gaze made Stella's hair stand on end. She suppressed her anger and said, "Keegan is here. You better stay away from me."Jackson chuckled, "Do you think he cares?"His words hit Stella. She clenched her fists and pursed her lips in silence.Jackson's smile grew wider. "I heard Keegan's gotten really close with a celebrity recently. You're so pretty; Keegan is lucky to have you. I almost feel sorry for you," he said as he walked closer to Stella.Just as he was about to touch Stella's arm, she suddenly rema
Stella turned around at glanced at Keegan. She dropped her expression, "It's nothing."Then, she handed the document to Keegan, "This is for you. I'll be leaving first."Stella had a cool expression and did not even want to utter an extra sentence to him. She was completely different from the person who attentively took care of him last night.Aldor walked over and said in a low voice, "Mr. Kane, the meeting is about to start soon."Keegan pursed his lips and reached out. However, he did not take the document. Instead, he grabbed her wrist."Go and wait for me at the office."Stella frowned, "I won't. I've got something to do.""What do you need to do?"Stella moved her lips, "I'm going to visit my mother at the hospital."Keegan glanced at her, "I'll send you there after this."'This bastard asked me to come and made me the scapegoat,' thought Stella.At this thought, she felt furious."You're a busy man, Mr. Kane. I better not trouble you."Keegan could detect the sarcas
Aldor returned, and Marshall came into the room with him.Stella was surprised to see Marshall. "Mr. Moore, what are you doing here?" she asked."I have a meeting with Keegan to talk about work stuff," Marshall replied kindly.He added, "Are you waiting for Keegan to finish work?""Who wants to wait for him to finish?" Stella pouted.She didn't want to talk about her issues with Keegan, so she changed the subject."Do you still have work stuff to do together?""Kind of," Marshall said without going into detail since it was work-related.Aldor checked his phone for a text message, then looked up and said, "Mrs. Kane, can you keep Mr. Moore company? I need to go to the conference room."Stella waved her hand. "Of course, go ahead."As Aldor left, Stella offered Marshall a cup of tea. "Have some tea, Mr. Moore," she said kindly.Marshall thanked her but didn't take a sip."Don't you like tea? Would you prefer some coffee?" Stella inquired."It's not that I don't like tea; I o
"You looked that up?" Marshall asked, amused. "My colleague at work put that together. It might be a bit exaggerated."'While some things might be exaggerated, all those journal articles and college degrees are real. Marshall is so impressive, it's almost unbelievable.' at the thought of that, she grinned, "Since it's right there on the website, let's just consider it all real. And if it's not, we'll work hard to make it real."Marshall grinned back. "Deal. I'll give it my all," he replied, pausing for a moment."I noticed you deleted your Dusk Galaxy social media account."Stella thought he might be concerned about gathering evidence for the lawsuit."I've got screenshots of everything," she assured him."That's not what I meant," Marshall said, pursing his lips. "There are other ways to clear up those false rumors. You didn't have to quit social media.""What other ways? Sue her?" Stella smirked. "She never mentioned my name, so she could deny it even if I sued her. If I staye
Marshall could tell she was feeling conflicted."For the past few days, I've used the firm's official account and contacted these people in private. I told them to delete their hateful comments and pin their apologies on Facebook. Then this matter will be considered settled in private. Otherwise, we'll take the legal route. Guess what they told me?"Stella looked at him and did not speak."Every single one told me to sue them if I can. Not only did they not delete their comments, they even edited my private messages and posted the edited photos on Facebook, claiming they were being threatened. They encouraged netizens who don't know the truth to condemn me," Marshall paused.He continued, "They don't think they're wrong at all, so how could they sincerely admit their mistakes?"'How threatening could a mere apology letter be?' he thought."There's no way to convict them, but I can ask for compensation. When faced with this type of person, asking for compensation might work even b
Marshall had a softened expression."Keegan's outstanding. Not only is he outstanding in the eyes of the elders, but he's also outstanding in the eyes of his peers. During exams at school, none of us could be as good as him, no matter how hard we tried. Even at sports, he was also always better than us. He's good-tempered, patient, skilled at his profession, and treasures talent. You can see how much everyone trusts him from how his schoolmates came to help him when he started the company right after he graduated," he said in a gentle tone.'Keegan's good-tempered? Keegan's patient? Do we both know the same Keegan?' wondered Stella."You must have some kind of misunderstanding toward Keegan. So, you're saying he's good-tempered?"Stella could not help but say, "Up till this age, I've never seen a person with a worse personality than his. He puts on a long face every time he's unhappy. He'll pick on your mistakes whenever you ask why he's unhappy. If you act like you don't see his e
