Chapter 1488


    Vermont found Ste’s proposal intriguing. After contemting, he said, “You’ll need to familiarize


    yourself with every aspect of The Velvet, from sourcing raw materials to crafting and delivering the final


    product. It’s crucial to have reliable people in key positions. There is no room for error once you start


    gettingrge orders.”


    Ste nodded. “Darcie’s assistant arranged for me to visit The Velvet tomorrow to get a feel of the


    operation.”


    “1’11 join you,” Felicity chimed in immediately. “Jaylene must be mad that you got the jewelry store.


    She’s probably itching to ruin your ns. Take me along. I’ve got your back if they try to give you a


    hard time.”


    Vermont thought for a moment and suggested, “That’s a good idea. We can have a video call before


    you guys enter the store, and I’ll keep an eye on things through the screen.”


    Ste was waiting for Vermont to say that. “As long as The Velvet can be managed smoothly, I’ll add an


    extra one percentmission for you on these pieces, Mr. Snyder.”


    Vermont shrugged. “That’s alright. Thirty percent will do. Your partner and best friend will kick my ass if


    I ask for more.”


    “Thank God, you’re self-aware,” Felicity huffed.


    Ste handed the items to Vermont and gave Felicity a stack of unopened skincare and makeup


    products.


    Following that, Felicity happily pulled her boyfriend away and left.


    Once Ste finished organizing, Keegan emerged from the bathroom. “I’ll take care of it. I’ve prepared


    the bathwater for you. Go ahead and freshen up.”


    Ste nodded and reminded him, “Just pack those items into the suitcase.”


    Keegan acknowledged her and crouched down to do the packing. Ste watched him for a few


    seconds before she grabbed a fresh set of clothes and headed to the bathroom.


    Not long after she entered, a scream echoed from the bathroom.


    Keegan froze and immediately rushed toward the bathroom. He pushed the door open and found no


    one in the bathtub.


    Keegan’s heart pounded. He was about to step in and check when the door behind him was mmed


    shut.


    Ste was in a bathrobe with her dark hair draping over her shoulders. She had hands folded over her


    chest, as she looked at him with a yful gleam in her eyes.


    Keegan cleared his throat. “If everything’s fine, I’ll leave.”


    Ste blocked his way. She ced his hand on her waist and guided him to untie the strap around her


    bathrobe. She lightly brushed her nose against his chin, as she tiptoed and gave him a kiss on the chin.

    “I’m heading back to the Saun residence tomorrow. Why don’t we make the most of tonight? Hm?


    Honey?”


    Keegan could not resist.


    He lifted her up in his arms, and the rest is history.


    The next day, Ste woke up alone. She reached her hand out to cover her eyes from the sunlight.


    Lately, Keegan had been so busy that there was no sign of him every morning she woke up. If it were


    not for the lingering sensations, she might have even thought that what happenedst night was just a


    dream.


    ‘That ruthless tease!’ she thought.


    Ste lingered in bed for a while before she finally got up. She had an appointment with Darcie’s


    assistant at ten in the morning. It was still early, so she grabbed some breakfast downstairs and


    knocked on the door of apartment 902.


    Vermont answered the door. He stared at her, clearly halfasleep, and mumbled, “Just grab a seat. I’ll go


    get her.”


    Ste sat on the couch with her breakfast, as she waited for Felicity.


    Vermont returned to the living room, and not long after, Felicity emerged from the same room. Vermont


    then went back in and did note out again.


    Ste was stunned. Doesn’t Vermont suffer from erectile dysfunction? Why would they be sleeping in


    the same room?’
