The text was from Xavier. Jaylene paused for a while.
‘What result?’ She thought to herself.
Trevor only came back with Keegan about ten minutes later. He was not looking very happy as he started scolding Keegan as soon as he sat down, "Keegan Kane, you're so useless. It's been over ten years, yet you still can't drink!"
He reached for his phone and unlocked it. He paused for a moment after looking at that text message. Then, he dialed Aldor's number.
Jaylene spoke after he was done speaking to Aldor, "Bro, we can send Mr. Kane back home. There's no need to trouble his assistant so late at night."
“Why should we do that?" Trevor sipped on his alcohol. "He's a man who just got divorced, and you're an unmarried lady. Your reputation will be tarnished if anybody ever sees you two together.
Jaylene looked mad as she mumbled softly, "How close-minded!" Aldor came after a while.
He thanked Trevor and Jaylene before taking Keegan away. Also, he took care of the bill before leaving. Trevor sighed. "Even though Keegan is a little dumb, he's pretty good at picking people to work for him."
‘His assistant alone is so much sharper than Xavier. Why couldn't I find someone like Aldor?"
"How is Mr. Kane dumb?" Jaylene glowered at him. "You're just jealous of him because dad always praises him!"
Trevor was speechless.
Then, they went home. Jaylene was sitting beside her bed to dry her hair after showering. For some reason, she thought of the text message she had seen on Trevor's phone earlier. She pursed her lips and put the towel on her lap. Then she sent Xavier a WhatsApp text.
(Xavier, are you asleep?)
Xavier just got home and replied instantly after seeing Jaylene's message: (Hello, Jaylene. I'm awake. What's wrong?)
Xavier and Jaylene went to the same elementary school. He addressed her as Ms. Saun in public but sometimes called her by her name when they chatted privately. Jaylene suggested that because she said she felt weird when Xavier called her Ms. Saun.
Xavier saw how Jaylene was bullied back then, and he knew how weak her body was. So, he was always very compassionate toward her.
[It's nothing. Is my brother not feeling well these days?)
(I don't think so. He didn't tell me anything.]
Jaylene pursed her lips and typed: [I met a friend today, and she bumped into my brother when she went to the hospital a few days ago. Why would he be there if he's not feeling unwell?]
(Oh, so that's why you asked. Mr. Saun was not seeing a doctor. The company had a new artist. He went there with her to do the pre- employment health check. ]
Actually, Trevor went to spy on Stella. But he would not tell Jaylene about that.
[I haven't heard about any popular artists joining the company recently. Did he really have to go there personally?) Xavier said to himself. 'How would he see Stella if he didn't go there personally?"
However, he typed something different from what he thought: [ Perhaps that artist, Ms. Jewell, once saved you. Mr. Saun cares a lot about her.]
Jaylene paused. 'It was Stella?’
She pursed her lips and replied: (I'm glad there's nothing wrong with my brother. You should get some sleep now.]
She closed her WhatsApp before standing up abruptly from the bed. Then, she threw her towel aside and went to Darcie's room. Stella hurriedly went to the set to film her scenes right after meeting Karl.
After knowing she had won the lawsuit, Daniel was delighted, so he rewarded her with two extra work hours. She always had something else to do outside of work, so Daniel would take the chance and film more of her parts whenever she came to the set.
It was already late afternoon of the next day when they were done filming.
Stella fell right asleep after getting home and woke up around noontime the next day. Felicity had a day off, and she bought a lot of ingredients at the supermarket when Stella was sleeping. She wanted to cook something nice for Stella to nourish her health.
Compared to Stella's cooking skills which would never improve, Felicity got a lot better at cooking. Felicity was just very lazy, and she would cook just to fill her stomach. However, after living with Stella, she finally had a chance to enhance her cooking skills.She would cook something nice for Stella once she had the time, and Stella would act as her assistant. Stella was mainly responsible for doing the dishes.
However, she slept in late today. Felicity was almost done cooking when she woke up.
