Chapter 2136


    In the elevator, Joe, who was standing next to Grace, stole a nce at Ste.


    Ste stood upright as she stared at the changing floor numbers on the disy screen.


    She looked even fairer than when she appeared on TV, as if she was glowing with whiteness. Her face


    without makeup looked more natural with a hint of vulnerability, making her even more striking.


    Joe secretly took out his phone, snapped a side profile of Ste, and sent it to someone with the


    nickname "Ste''s Ex-Husband." The text said: [Hey, I got a new girlfriend.]


    In the General Manager''s office at Vinci Rivera, Keegan rested his chin on his hand as he scanned


    through the data on theputer screen. However, his mind was elsewhere.


    He wondered if things went smoothly on Ste''s side. From what he knew about her, she could


    probably handle the situation well. With that young man''s help on her side and the fact that she was


    always able to put up a front, he figured that she would be fine.


    Humans are truly strange creatures. When they were married, and Ste was a devoted stay-at-home


    wife, Keegan thought it would be good for her to have a job so that she could interact more with the


    outside world, regardless of her ie.


    However, he always said the opposite of what he meant, and things between them always ended badly.


    Now that Ste had started working, Keegan started to worry about her, feeling like a father worried


    about sending his daughter to school and fearing that she would be bullied.


    As he was deep in his thoughts, his phone vibrated with a message from someone with the contact


    name "Ste''s Current Boyfriend."


    He tapped it open, and his expression immediately darkened.


    Joe texted him again: [When she talked to me just now, I already decided what to name our child.


    She''s gorgeous in person! Old man, how did you know she''s working at Caline?]


    The text continued: [She didn''t even show up at the premiere of "Motives for Murder," and the


    production crew didn''t reveal where she went at that time. I thought she retired and got married, but it


    turns out she''s running her billion-dor family business now!"]


    Keegan replied: [What did you just call me?]


    Joe texted again: [Bro! She and I are such a perfect match!]


    Keegan replied nonchntly: [Do you know what''s the scariest thing in the world?] [A dying phone?]


    Keegan was speechless.


    [Bro, can you just be more straightforward? What are you trying to tell me?]


    Keegan continued: [Someone who''s not aware of how they look.]


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Joe was taken aback. Then, he texted back: [Are you suggesting that she and you would be a better


    match then? Bro, do you realize how old you are?


    I [Hmph.]


    Joe texted: [Hmph. Hmph. By the way, how did you know my mom was trying out perfumes there? And


    how did you know I could help her just by not choosing ''Cloud Nine''?]


    Keegan replied: [Because I''m her husband.]


    Joe then sent a meme of an elderly person on the subway looking at a phone: [Bro, are you a stalker or


    something?]


    Keegan replied: [I''m her number one fan... A legally obligated one.]


    Joe inquired: [What''s that?]


    Keegan responded: [A fan who''s also her family. She''s my wife.]


    Joe replied: [Bro, you''re not bad looking for your age, but your fantasy for Ste is too wild. If you were


    more normal, I''d introduce my cousin to you. She''s just a little less pretty than Ste.


    [I happen to not like the guy she''s dating now. So if you give up on Ste, I''ll introduce you to her. By


    the way, her family is pretty wealthy, too.]


    Without saying anything else, Keegan took a screenshot of Ste''s contact on his phone, blurred out


    the number, and sent it to Joe.
