Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 8


    Chapter 8


    Hearing the phone abruptly hang up, Keegan could not help but frown deeply. The woman beside him


    called out to him again. “Keegan?” Keegan looked up and nced at her indifferently. He put his phone


    away and coldly said, “What exactly do you want?” Be handed him a beautifully packaged box. Then,


    she whispered a little shyly, “I didn’t have much to do at home for the past few days, so I baked some


    pastries, and I wanted to give you some.” Keegan did not move. He lifted his gaze and stared at her.


    “Just for something like this?” Be’s breath hitched. She gripped the box and mumbled, “No… I also


    wanted to ask you about work.” Keegan responded coolly, “Stop meddling with what’s going on online


    and hand over your Facebook ount to your manager. In a few days, someone from Neon Neb


    will discuss the contract with you. After that, cooperate with them for the promotion.” Be was


    delighted. She had offered to voice act in Honor of the Deities to Vermont several times, but he


    dismissed her every time. This led to Be being angry about it for a while. However, it was not


    because she liked doing voice acting for games but merely because she did not want things to go well


    for Dusk Gxy. A while ago, when Secret Sweetheart was a hit, she became a hot topic because of


    online criticism rted to voice acting. Netizens were saying that the dubbing carried her acting skills


    and that people would think she was acting in a puppet show if they watched the drama muted. In the


    hot topic, Dusk Gxy was praised profusely. ‘I worked hard to film that drama, yet Dusk Gxy is the


    one getting a good reputation? How could I just let this go?’ she thought. In order to prove that her


    original voiceover was not bad, Be posted a video of her voicing the script during the filming of the


    drama on her burner ount. She even paid money to get the hot topic “Be Young Original Voice”


    trending. She thought this would blow everyone away. To her surprise, they ridiculed her instead. Once


    again, the so-called audiences and film critics criticized her acting and praised Dusk Gxy


    profusely. ‘I’m going to lose my mind! Just as I was thinking of a way to relieve my anger, I heard


    Vermont and Andrew discussing the voiceover for Honor of the Deities. I learned that they intended to


    cast Dusk Gxy as the voice actor. I’m too good to voice act in a game. But, if snatching the


    opportunity over would allow me to be a nuisance to Dusk Gxy, naturally, I’ll have to do it,’ she


    thought. Even though Be was ecstatic, she asked with a hesitant expression, “Did Mr. Snyder agree?


    He doesn’t seem to like me that much. If Mr. Snyder isn’t keen on it, then it’s fine. Don’t make things


    awkward between you two because of me.” Keegan nced at her meaningfully as if he was going to


    bore a hole through her. Be felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand. However, Keegan merely


    reminded her, “Your manager’s here.” Be snapped back to reality. She looked out the window and


    saw her manager waving at her. She frowned. She initially wanted Keegan to send her home. However,


    Keegan’s assistant— Aldor Hart—had already opened the door and was beckoning her to get out. At


    this point, Be could not shamelessly ask to stay. She bade Keegan goodbye and got out of the car


    without forgetting to give Aldor a deathly re. “Where to, Mr. Kane?” Keegan pinched the bridge of his


    nose and said tiredly, “Home.” He had not been sleeping well for the past few days. To be precise, ever


    since Ste moved out of the house. He felt annoyed once more at the thought of her. Keegan twisted


    a bottle of water open. He took a sip and frowned, “in water?” Aldor exined, “The tea bags that


    madam gave are all used up. The new ones haven’t been stocked up yet. I’ll call madamter.” Keegan


    paused and coolly responded, “There’s no need for that.” ‘If I go find that woman, she’ll say things


    that’ll piss me off again!’ he thought. Then, he took another sip of water. For some reason, the in


    water he had been drinking for the past twenty-something years had be unptable. ‘Did in


    water always taste this bad?’ wondered Keegan. They arrived at Royalpark Vi. Just as Keegan got


    out of the car, Aldro retrieved a beautiful gift box from the car. Then, he handed the gift box to


    Keegan. “Mr. Kane, the bag you pre-ordered two months ago has arrived.” ‘A bag that costs over four


    million dors. It’s like carrying a house around. My worldviews are constantly being changed while I’ve


    been working here for the past few years,’ Aldor thought. “When madam sees it, she’ll definitely like


    it.” Keegan unfurrowed his brows slightly. However, he coldly said, “How could she not like something


    she wanted?” Aldor raised his eyebrows but did not speak. ‘I’ve never heard madam say she wants this


    bag. But, she did say that the bag looked nice while she was reading a magazine in the car one time.


    That very night, Mr. Kane asked me to purchase the bag. Since there wasn’t any stock locally, we had


    to pull a few strings to purchase it abroad. That’s why it took two months for the bag to arrive,’ he


    thought again. “Leave it in the car.” Keegan buttoned his shirt and said, “Come pick me up tomorrowContent is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    morning at nine.” At nine o’clock the following morning, Ste got a call from Keegan right after she got


    dressed. “Come downstairs.” Ste was confused. Keegan “thoughtfully” added, “I’ll wait for you


    downstairs.” Ste frowned and said, “You know where I live?” Keegan was not bothered enough to


    answer her nonsensical question, so he hung up. ‘Every time we fight, she stays at a hotel or at her


    poor bestie’s ce. Since I canceled her room card, where else would she be other than Felicity’s


    ce?’ he thought. Sure enough, Ste walked out of the apartment and saw Keegan’s Mercedes-


    Benz parked by the road. She stopped walking. Just as she was about to walk to the passenger seat,


    Aldor got out of the car and opened the rear door. Keegan was sitting on the other end of the backseat


    and looking down at his phone. Ste did not want to sit with Keegan. She turned around and wanted


    to ask Aldor to open the door to the front passenger seat. But, before she could ask, Aldor said to her


    hurriedly, “Get in the car, madam. We can’t stop here. The cops areing.” Ste had no choice but


    to get in the car. The car started soon after. Ste and Keegan did not speak, so the atmosphere in the


    car was awkward. Aldor had been working with Keegan for a number of years, so he was pretty good at


    reading the room. ‘Driving here to pick up madam was weird. That, coupled with the atmosphere in the


    car, makes things even weirder. They probably had a fight,’ he thought. Aldor peered at Keegan. Then,


    he turned to Ste. Finally, he coughed slightly in hopes of lightening the atmosphere in the car. He


    started a conversation, “Madam, do you remember the potpourri sachet you gave mest summer? I


    gave it to my mother. She loves it, and she even put it next to her pillow every night. She told me her


    sleep quality has improved. When I visited home a few days ago, she asked me for a new one. She


    said the scent of the old one is fading and that it doesn’t work as well as it used. Where did you buy the


    potpourri sachet? I want to buy my mother a new one.” Hearing his words, Ste smiled. She


    responded warmly, “It’s my own potpourri recipe. I found a craftsperson online and had them produce it


    for me, so you probably can’t buy it.” Aldor was shocked. “Your own recipe? You know how to create


    scents?” Keegan promptly stopped what he was doing and turned to Ste with an inquisitive


    gaze. Ste shook her head, “I don’t. I’m just interested in it. I usually just y around for fun. The


    potpourri sachet your mother has uses verymon ingredients. I’ll send you the ingredient list in


    WhatsAppter. You can get them at a potpourri shop.” “I hope it’s not too much of a nuisance,


    madam.” “Don’t sweat it,” Ste said while starting the WhatsApp application. Then, she typed out the


    potpourri’s ingredients and their respective amount. Ste had fair skin and slender fingers. Her usually


    clean nails were now painted baby pink. Her makeup was also slightly different from before. Even


    though she did not change much overall, she gave off an air of flirtatiousness. She was overwhelmingly


    gorgeous. Keegan’s gaze fell onto her chest. The dress she wore today was incredibly form-fitting and


    had a wide neckline. Ste’s curves could be seen at a nce. Keegan frowned and asked in a low


    voice, “Don’t you have other clothes? Why are you dressed like that?” Ste rolled her eyes internally. ‘I


    was kind enough toe with him, yet he’s stillining?’ she thought. Ste gave him a


    perfunctory response. “I just bought it. Isn’t it pretty?’ Keegan snorted icily. Then, he said something


    that made Ste want to hurl her phone at his face. “As usual, your taste hasn’t improved.”
