    Chapter 1068


    Keegan was not one to meddle in other people''s affairs.


    However, the girl''s heartbreaking cry made him stop in his tracks for no apparent reason.


    The girl tried not to make too much noise, but her sobs and trembling shoulders were painful to watch.


    The usher who sent Keegan downstairs saw the scene and told him about what had happened.


    "The girl was harassed by a man during the exhibition, and she pped him across the face.Her


    guardian, who came to deal with the matter, did not take her side and even gave her a tough time


    about wanting to im her sry.She must be crying because of that," said the usher.


    Keegan looked at the girl''s back and asked, "How much is her sry?"


    The staff told him that thepany issued 8000 dors to those who show up to the job six days


    straight, but because of the incident, they would most likely have to fork up more money than that to do


    damage control.


    Therefore, the girl would not be able to get paid.


    "She has to pay the price for causing a scene," the staff stated.


    After listening to everything, Keegan asked, "What would you do if you were harassed in this setting?"


    The other party was stunned for a moment before methodically stating a set of curated responses.


    In other words, brand image was everything.


    Keegan did not respond.


    Instead, he suddenly reached out to grab the other party''s chest.


    The woman subconsciously took half a step back and was ready to block his hand.


    Keegan then stopped without touching her.He slowly withdrew his hand under the usher''s bewildered


    gaze.


    "There''s nothing wrong with women protecting themselves.If yourpany can''t put the people''s well-


    being first, then your reputation is just a joke."


    Although it was unclear whether Keegan''s words made them realize something or that they were just


    afraid of ruining their rtionship with one of their VIPs, thepany got over the situation and paid


    Ste most of her sry.


    A few dayster, Keegan received a message from the organizer, talking about how they had resolved


    the issue and thanking him for his valuable opinion.


    Keegan forgot about the incident after that.He vaguely remembered the image of the girl crying and


    nothing else.He never imagined that his thoughtless act so many years ago would bring hope to Ste.


    ‘Maybe it was all destined to happen"


    "I was happy even though I never got to buy the ne.I felt lucky.It seemed like God was always on


    my side.I was always able tond a job whenever I needed money, which was good because it meant I


    didn''t have to ask Albert for it."


    As Ste said that, she smiled and turned her head to look at Keegan.


    "And I just so happened to meet you when I was forced to get married.You saved me from marrying


    someone I hated."


    Keegan''s heart melted at the sound of that.

    ''This is the difference between Ste and other people.She was raised by Rainee with great care and


    lived her life as a princess, clueless about the darkness of the world.When she turned neen, her


    mom got into a severe car ident and could no longer wake up.Her father favored his illegitimate


    daughter and treated Ste as a tool for a united marriage.Things took a major turn, and Ste was


    forced to grow up overnight.


    ‘Most people who go through this would feel sorry for themselves andin about their misfortunes,


    yet Ste said she was lucky.She said that opportunities came to her when she needed them most, and


    when she was going to run away from home, I showed up.She always looks at things from a positive


    point of view.It''s probably the most attractive thing about her"


    Keegan squeezed Ste''s hand and asked in a low voice, "Did you bring me here to spend some


    money and make up for that time you didn''t get to buy that ne?"


    Steughed at that and held onto his arm for along time before she said, "The first time I entered that


    store and saw those beautiful pieces of jewelry,novelebook I told myself that I would bring my


    future partner there to buy a set of couple rings."


    "Then, why are you only bringing me here now?" Keegan asked in a dissatisfied manner.


    "Because you''re my significant other now.Back then, you weren''t."


    Keegan was puzzled.


    "Then, what were we?"


    "Marriage buddies? Meal buddies? Bed buddies? They''re pretty much the same thing," Ste said


    slowly.


    Her words rendered him speechless.


    ‘I shouldn''t have asked, ‘thought Keegan.


    "Are you sober now?" he asked.
