    “Don’t you have an important meeting this afternoon?” Ste inquired.


    Keegan hesitated for a moment and said, “Then, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”


    “Alright.’


    Keegan was surprised at howpliant Ste was today. But then, she continued, ‘Do you know


    where to go for the paperwork? Do you know the process of these things? Do you have anyone on the


    inside who could help us? It can be tricky to deal with the authorities in that department, you know?


    What if they say something you don’t like? Can you guarantee that you won’t lose your temper there


    and then?”


    With each question Ste raised, Keegan’s expression turned grimmer.” Are you saying that I’m not as


    capable as Marshall right now?” he asked.


    “I didn’t mean it that way. You’re undoubtedly the best in your industry. No one can beat my man at


    building robots,” Ste said softly.


    Keegan was ttered by her praise, especially when she referred to him as her man. However, he did


    not let those words sway him. “How can you acknowledge my abilities yet still want his help?”


    “Everyone has their own expertise, Keegan. Sure, you excel at making money, but you’re not that


    skilled in handling interpersonal rtionships like Marshall.”


    Keegan frowned. “What do you mean I’m not as skilled as him?’


    “See? I’m just exining the situation, and you’re already getting defensive. You’re too stubborn,


    Keegan. Even though your research team puts in the most effort and makes the most money in the


    Keegan was about to refute, but Ste continued, “I know you don’t like those who suck up to powerful


    individuals just to boost their status and those who only befriend people who agree with them. But, our


    society is built on personal connections. You cant always think that way.


    “I asked Marshall for help because he’s adept at dealing with people. As awyer, he knows the ins


    and outs of interpersonal rtionships and has interacted with all sorts of individuals, especially those


    in political circles. He also knows how to navigate conversations with those people, which will make


    things easier.”


    Although Keegan was not happy to hear that, he knew what Ste said was true. He might have


    argued back if Stepared both of them in other aspects, but he had to admit that Marshall had far


    more connections than he did. Getting thend patent would be a piece of cake for Marshall.

    “Is it urgent?” Keegan pursed his lips and asked, believing that he could help Ste obtain the


    necessary paperwork if he was given a few days.


    “I don’t want to drag this on for too long. The kindergarten on that piece ofnd is generating ie


    the patent as soon as possible to cut off her financial resources. That way, she and Albert will teareach


    other apart.’


    Keegan fell silent for a moment. “Do as you wish,” he said and hung up the phone.


    Ste was speechless at how childish he was acting.


    After the call ended, Keegan thought about the situation and dialed Felicity’s number.


    Felicity had been preparing for her new job for the past two days. When she saw Keegan’s namee


    up on the screen of her phone, she hesitated before picking it up.


    “Hey, Ms. Thompson, are you busy at the moment?” Keegan’s tone sounded polite, which made


    Felicity nervous.


    “Wh-What’s up?”


    “The person who bought the scriptst time said it was good and wants to get another customized copy


    from you. Are you avable to take it?” Keegan asked.


    “Yes!” Felicity blurted out. Suddenly, she remembered that Keegan gave her the first job because he


    wanted topensate her for getting her arrested. ‘There’s no way this guy is introducing me to


    another job for no reason,’ she thought.


    “Why are you suddenly offering me a job? What do you want this time?” Felicity asked with caution.
