    Keegan shook his head. "You always carry yourself in a sophisticated manner, and wearing a cheap


    watch might draw attention. Aldor said this piece suits you perfectly.


    Even if it''s stolen, it won''t be easy to sell because of its high value. I can definitely track it before the


    thief finds a buyer, but I hope that day neveres."


    Ste felt offended by the phrase "suits you perfectly." Then, she said through clenched teeth, "What


    do you mean by ''suits me perfectly’? You think I have a shy attitude?"


    Keegan paused, hugged her with a smile, and kissed her hair. "Actually, I''m really attracted to your


    practical approach to money."


    Ste nced at him. "Well, your tastes are certainly unique."


    "That''s because I have a lot of money," he whispered.


    Ste was left speechless, realizing that Keegan had only said that to show off his wealth.


    Early the next day, Xavier arrived to pick up Ste. Before heading to Caline, they first dropped off


    Wenham and Darcie at the airport.


    Xavier observed as Ste said goodbye to Wenham and Darcie with teary eyes, urging them to stay


    safe. She even mentioned that she already missed them before they left and asked them to call her


    every day.


    However, once they passed through the boarding gate, Ste''s tears vanished instantly. She then


    lowered the sunshade and began to tidy up her appearance in the mirror.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Xavier stole a nce at Ste, and Ste said tly without looking at him,"


    What''s wrong?"


    Xavier looked away and shook his head. "Nothing."


    After Ste fixed her hair, she turned around. "Xavier, Trevor told me that you and Jaylene were


    ssmates, is that true?"


    Xavier nodded. "ssmates from elementary school."


    "You guys are close, right? Trevor said that he only hired you because Jaylene told him that she knows


    you, saying that you''re diligent and trustworthy."


    Xavier knew that Ste was trying to find out his rtionship with Jaylene, but after a moment of


    silence, he answered truthfully, "I don''t really talk to Ms. Saun, and she only put in the good words for


    me because I helped her during our school days."


    Ste smiled and spoke in a gentle tone, "I thought you guys were close."


    Xavier shook his head without saying anything else.


    Then, Ste thought to herself, ''Jaylene isn''t someone who''d be so grateful, not to mention it has


    already been so many years since they went to school together.''


    The car stopped in front of a building.


    Ste and Xavier got out of the car together, and a security guard quickly came over to take the keys


    for parking.


    Ste stood outside the building, looking up at the Caline logo for a long time before walking toward the


    lobby.


    Since Darcie had been sent away by Ste, it was Aubrey who greeted her at the entrance.


    The wee ceremony Aubrey had organized was quite borate. Not only was there a weing


    banner disyed in the lobby, but she had also gathered almost everyone in thepany on the


    ground floor. The spacious area was now bustling with employees, creating a lively atmosphere.


    Ste lightly frowned. ''Well done. She''s trying to turn everyone against me by making them stop their


    work just to wee me.’


    Aubrey, dressed professionally with shoulder-length hair, looked verypetent. With a smile, she


    approached Ste and said warmly, "Ms. Hall, you''re finally here."


    Then, she turned to the crowd behind her and continued, "Everyone, this is our new General Manager,


    Ste Hall. She''s the daughter of Mr. Saun and thete founder of Caline, Freesia Hall.


    "As the saying goes, like mother, like daughter. I''m confident that she will continue her mother’s legacy,


    and Caline will be stronger than ever under her leadership. Let''s give her a round of apuse to


    wee her!"
