    Chapter 1132


    Ste hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Keegan’s request and hung up the phone. As she


    waited for the red light, she tried to fix her hair while looking into the rearview mirror. She felt relieved


    only when her bangs covered the wound on her forehead.


    The building where Keegan usually did his experiments was built on the outskirts of town. Ste knew


    where it was but never went there before. This was because non-authorized people were not allowed


    inside the building. Moreover, some materials used for experiments were radioactive, meaning they


    had to put on a special suit when entering the premise. Naturally, Keegan did not want Ste to go


    anywhere near the ce.


    Ste parked the car across the entrance of the building and was about to call Keegan when he walked


    out of the gate. He seemed to sit in the guardhouse, waiting for her to show up.


    Ste put her phone aside and watched him stride over step by step. ‘He looks so good in that suit. I


    bet he wore it because he knows I like it. After all, hispany doesn’t require him to wear formal


    clothes to work.’


    Keegan was already in front of the car as she thought about that. He knocked on the window, and


    Ste lowered it while smiling. “You look handsome today, Mr. Kane.”


    Keegan nced at Ste and said, “I look handsome every day.”

    “That’s true, but you’re extremely handsome today!” Ste quickly praised, trying to ease his mind.


    “Go over to the passenger’s side. I’ll drive,” Keegan said.


    Ste did as she was told obediently. Keegan opened the door on the driver’s side and got in the


    vehicle. He did not rush to start the car. Instead, he grabbed Ste’s chin and brushed her bangs away


    from her forehead. Ste tried to stop him, but he held her back. The stitches she got were not obvious,


    but since the wound was a little red and swollen, it was still noticeable.


    Keegan’s lips tightened upon seeing that. “Did you hit them back?” He asked.


    “I couldn’t hit. There were too many people there. I’m a public figure now, so I have to act like a role


    model,” Ste said truthfully.


    “You should’ve diverted the crowd and hit them back.”


    Ste was speechless when she heard his suggestion. “The police have her in custody. Mr. Moore told


    me she won’t be able toe out for a while.”


    Keegan paused and sullenly asked, “Do you want to exin why you were with him?”


    Ste was quiet for a moment before she said, “Would you believe me if I told you I ran into him while


    buying groceries at the supermarket?”


    “What do you think? He’s awyer. He should be working on cases. Why in the world would he be at


    the supermarket buying groceries?”


    Ste frowned. “What are you trying to say? Do you think I’m lying? Do you think I asked him out on


    purpose?”


    Keegan pursed his lips and said, “That’s not what I meant.”


    “It seems pretty clear to me that that’s what you were insinuating!”


    Keegan stayed silent. “I told you to stay away from him. Why didn’t you listen? Why didn’t you avoid


    him when you saw him? Do you even remember what you promised me?”


    Ste started getting angry after being questioned like a criminal. “Since when did I not listen? Would I


    drive myself home despite my injury if not for my promise to you? No. I would have asked him to drive


    me! There are times when it’s okay to be jealous, Keegan, but now is not the time.


    Marshall is your friend, and I’m your partner. What do you think would happen when we’re together?


    Don’t you trust him? Don’t you trust ME?!”
