    Chapter 2076


    Keegan fell silent for a while before sending a message: [I''ll take you there tomorrow.]


    Steughed and replied: [You''re still pretending to have amnesia. Control yourself. I think Marshall


    will also be there tomorrow. You shouldn''t show up.] ''If it wasn''t because Marshall had tricked me the


    night before, then there must be another exnation Luanna hade back from the dead. Perhaps it


    is a trap meant to lure me there.'' Ste thought.


    Ste was not afraid of any idents since they were going as a group, and she firmly believed that


    Marshall''s target was not her. Even if it were a plot, he would not do anything to her under the current


    circumstances.


    However, the idea of Keegan going made Ste more worried. After all, he was still pretending to have


    amnesia. While his acting might fool the average person, Marshall would not be so easily deceived.

    Unable to persuade Ste otherwise, Keegan eventually agreed.


    The office door was knocked on, and Jaylene entered with documents in her arms. She said warmly,


    "Ste, these documents need your signature."


    Ste put down her phone and said, "Bring them here."


    Jaylene ced the documents in front of Ste, her gaze swiftly scanning the surroundings. She


    thought, ''The desk is cleaner than her face; not a book in sight, just a notebook and a pen. The


    notebook seems to be filled with something as it looks densely packed.''


    She moved closer, tiptoeing to take a peek. She was shocked to discover that the notebook was not


    filled with writing but with doodles of little turtles.


    Then, Jaylene nced at Ste''sputer screen, which had a Minesweeper game open and still


    running. There were also several eaten fruits on the side table, with several pits on the tissue.


    Jaylene got annoyed and thought, ''Mom, why did you warn me to be wary of such a loser?1


    Ste did not rush to sign but flipped through the pages one by one. Impatient, Jaylene urged and said,


    "Ste, can you hurry up? I have other things to handle."


    Ste did not look up and answered, "Ms. Saun, I hope you can be professional in the office and call


    me Ms. Hall."


    Jaylene frowned. "Ste, there’s no one else here. Do we really need to be so formal?”


    Ste looked up at Jaylene and said, "I prefer everything to be by the book. As long as we''re in this


    This way, if anything happens, our rtionship won''t make people think I''m being unfair.


    Ste added, "Darcie also asks you to call her Ms. Arnold in the office, right? It''s the same principle."


    Jaylene clenched her fists, clearly not convinced. It was simr to when Darcie had reprimanded her;


    she did not argue. Instead, she pressed her lips together reluctantly before saying, "I understand, Ms.


    Hall.’


    Ste nodded. After she finished reviewing the documents, she returned them to Jaylene and said, "I


    can''t sign this."


    Jaylene frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"


    Ste exined, "Your product testing report hasn''te out yet. I can''t sign this."


    Jaylene argued, "The samples were sent for testing after the holiday, but this process usually takes


    about ten working days. Just sign it now, and we''ll start production. The testing report will be out by


    next Tuesday, and we can just stamp it then.’


    Ste questioned, "What if the test results are not up to standard? Who will bear the loss for the


    unusable products produced?"


    Jaylene got a bit angry and said, "This form is based on customer requirements, with just two


    changes from the previous one, using very safe materials. How could it fail? We''re just following the


    procedure."


    She continued, "If you sign now, I can start production. By the time production is nearlyplete, the


    testing report will be out, and we can deliver on time to avoid the penalty for dy."


    Ste calmly replied, ’Knowing the time constraints, why didn''t you inform the other party when signing


    the contract?"


    Jaylene spoke firmly, "This is how it''s always been done for bespoke perfumes. There has never been


    a problem."


    Ste leaned back and stated inly, "The past is the past, but now it''s my signature. If anything goes


    wrong, it''s on me. I like to y it safe and steer clear of trouble. Let''s just wait for the test results."
