    Chapter 2051


    After the crowd dispersed, Aubrey led Ste upstairs to her office.


    Reflecting on her situation, Ste considered, ''Darcie is sneakier than Jaylene. Darcie would nt


    traps in unexpected ces but wouldn''t openly make things hard for her target. Like this office, it rivals


    Keegan''s office in quality. It''s spacious and brightly lit.1


    "Ms. Hall, this is your office. We’ve prepared an office for your assistant and the secretarial team next


    door. If you need anything, they''re just a call away," Aubrey exined.


    Surveying the space, Ste inquired, "And where is Darcie''s office?"


    "It''s one floor up from here," Aubrey answered.


    Ste dismissed Aubrey with a wave. "Okay, you may leave now. I''ll explore the area myself.''


    After Aubrey had left, Ste turned to Xavier and requested, "Xavier, could you get me a boba tea?


    Choose any vor, just ask for less sugar."


    Xavier nodded and left the office.


    Once alone, Ste swiftly locked the door and retrieved a bug-detecting device from her bag, a gift from


    Keegan, to search the office for any hidden surveince.


    Keegan had informed her that the detector would buzz upon detecting any eavesdropping tools. She


    diligently examined the office but initially found nothing, leading her to wonder if they were being overly


    cautious.


    After wandering around without discovering anything, Ste ced the detector on the coffee table,


    whereupon the detector immediately buzzed. She paused, then traced the buzzing to a nt pot.


    Ste found a cling film-wrapped item under the moss in the pot. She smirked, re-covered it, and texted


    Keegan: [You were right. Found a bug in a nt pot.]


    Keegan responded promptly: [Leave it.]


    Ste replied: [I''ve not touched it. Is Darcie being too cautious? Did she feel threatened by a neer


    like me after decades in this field?]


    [It may not be her doing.] Keegan suggested.


    This made Ste pause, contemting, ''If not Darcie, could it be Jaylene? After all, Jaylene lives in


    Royalpark Vi and uses hypnosis to get Keegan''s attention. Even if Keegan says he can''t remember


    anything, wouldn''t Jaylene still worry a bit?''

    With determination, Ste messaged: [Send Jaylene a coffee.]


    Keegan objected: (Absolutely not.]


    Ste responded with a yful gif. [Is that a request for a divorce?]


    Keegan, frustrated, thought, ''Ste knows how to push my buttons. If I ordered the coffee, it might help


    her now, but she''d surely hold it over me in any future disputes. She was utterly unreasonable!’
