    Chapter 406


    Keegan did not like to y riddles. But, he had great respect for Mr. Jackman, so when he heard Mr.


    Jackman say that, he went along and asked, “Who is it?”


    Mr. Jackman smiled and said, “You’ll find out when we go inside.”


    Soon they arrived at the lounge. When the assistant opened the door, Ste immediately saw Marshall


    sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the lounge. He wore a gray suit and a pair of silver-metal-framed


    sses, and he was flipping through some documents in his hands.


    “Marshall, guess who’s here?” Mr. Jackman said.


    Marshall looked up at the sound of Mr. Jackman’s voice, took off his sses, and revealed a pair of


    warm, light brown eyes. “Keegan.”


    Ste was a little surprised, but then she remembered that when she asked Marshall to help her with


    herwsuit, he told her that he was from Trinity University’s School of


    Political Science and Law. It was just unexpected to see him here on this asion. However, Mr.


    Jackman quickly cleared things up for everyone. Marshall had given two public lectures this morning


    under a personal invitation from the dean.


    Mr. Jackman and the dean of the School of Political Science and Law were good friends. They were


    also very familiar with Marshall, and they knew about his rtionship with Keegan. So, when Marshall


    finished his public lectures, Mr. Jackman invited him to stay and attend today’s recruitment talk. Mr.


    Jackman also said that they would all have dinner together after the event. Marshall could not refuse


    such a warm invitation.


    In ces where the higher-ups gather, there wereworking chatters, and Ste could not get a word


    in edgewise. Marshall, on the other hand, was very talkative and skilled in this kind of situation, unlike


    Keegan who was quieter and more reserved.


    After all, Marshall was from a social studies background and studiedw. He was always better at


    maintaining interpersonal rtionships than others.


    As the conversation heated up, Mr. Jackman asked Keegan, “Where does your wife work?”


    Ste felt a little embarrassed. Being a full-time housewife was not a big deal, but in front of the vice


    president of her alma mater, she did know how to respond.


    Sophia gloated, “Mr. Jackman, my sister also graduated from your university.”

    Mr. Jackman was very surprised and said with a smile, “Really? Which school did you attend, and what


    was your major? Keegan is so outstanding, so you must be no slouch either. Do you remember who


    your dean was? Maybe I even know them. Let’s all have dinner togetherter.”


    Each question struck a nerve with Ste. She felt embarrassed. But, when she was just about to speak,


    Keegan said, “She’s not working right now. She’s at home preparing for conception.”


    Ste was speechless. She thought, ‘Even if you’re trying to help me out, isn’t this excuse a bit too


    lame?’


    However, the answer worked for Mr. Jackman. He asked Keegan to let him know when there was good


    news. He had already missed Keegan’s wedding, so he did not want to miss the baby shower of


    Keegan’s future child.


    Hence, the little episode ended just like that. Sophia was frustrated because her attempt to embarrass


    Ste had failed.


    Just then, the staff called Sophia to copy the data from the USB drive onto theputer and prepare


    the content for the talk. So, Sophia left to take care of it.


    The multimedia control room was where they coordinated the disy on therge outdoor screen. The


    content to be disyed on the screen had to be projected from there.


    After about twenty minutes, with the help of the staff, Sophia had finished copying everything she


    needed.


    It was almost two-thirty now, and the recruitment talk was starting in half an hour.


    After thanking the staff, Sophia went out to familiarize herself with the script.
