Stella pouted and said, “Who said I was going to spread fake news? I’m surely going to post the truth!”
“What news do you want me to spread?” Olivia asked in a low voice.
“It’s… a suicide case that happened three years ago.”
Not long after they hung up the phone, Stella received a text from Aldor. [We’ve found the target, Ma’am. Everything has been arranged accordingly.]
Stella sent him a sticker of two kittens hugging each other with a heart above their heads. Keegan looked at the messages in the group chat and sent a question mark.
Aldor’s eyelids twitched when he saw that. He cautiously replied with a sticker of two puppies and the word “Besties” to clarify the misunderstanding.
Keegan had added Aldor into a group chat with Stella out of nowhere the day before, and Aldor found it weird. ‘Mr. Kane said that it was for easier cooperation and communication, but I don’t think he needs to be in the loop. He keeps popping up whenever I talk to Ms. Jewell as if he is trying to remind me of his presence. We’re just having a normal interaction, but why do I feel like Mr. Kane is monitoring me? He knows that I wouldn’t dare to question his actions, but why is he suddenly being so possessive?’
Aldor thought about it long and hard but still could not
figure it out. Keegan was not afraid of Aldor trying to snatch Stella away from him. On the contrary, he was scared that Stella would take Aldor away since she had shown great interest in him. ‘He’d probably be swayed if I wasn’t there to keep things in check,’ Keegan thought.
Stella understood why Keegan was being cautious and found it funny. She then privately messaged him and said, [ Are you coming home for dinner?]
[You’re cooking?]
[Yeah. I can’t just stay here for free. Let me show you my appreciation.]
[Then, let’s go to a restaurant and order at least $30k worth of food per person. You can pay the bill to show your appreciation.]
[Do you know how much food that’s going to be? We can’t possibly finish all that.] Stella paused and sent another text. [ Just tell me what you want, and I’ll make it for you.]
Keegan did not respond for a long time. When Stella was about to stop waiting for a reply, Keegan sent her hundreds of photos. All the photos were failed dishes she previously learned online. [You mean like these?] he asked.
Stella was baffled when she saw the pictures. [When did you take these?) she gritted her teeth and typed out.
[I was scared of getting food poisoning, so I took them as evidence. I thought you were playing around at first. But then, I realized you were being serious.]
[I should’ve put poison in your food from the start!]
Keegan smiled and said, [The presentation is alright, but the taste…]
Stella thought that Keegan was about to praise her cooking skills when he sent another message. [They didn’t taste good.]
