Chapter 20
Everyone looked at him. Keegan only managed to stop coughing after a long time. He looked unhappy.
No one dared to speak. They thought Keegan was unsatisfied with the statement made just now. Keegan
turned his head and softly said something to Aldor with a gloomy face. He then turned back and coldly
said, “Go on.”
Everyone was relieved. Aldor then quietly left the conference room.
In the lobby downstairs, Stella was sitting on the couch listlessly going through the magazine on the
table. Someone hurriedly approached her from behind, and Aldor’s voice could then be heard. “Mrs.
Kane, why didn’t you give me a call before you came?”
The receptionist who led the way was so shocked that his pupils dilated!
‘She’s really the wife of Mr. Kane! Why did Mr. Kane say that he didn’t know her?! No. None of these
matters. The problem is that I took those kinds of pictures of Mrs. Kane just now!‘
His face turned ashen. He suddenly felt like all the top five hundred companies would no longer hire him.‘

Stella put down the magazine. “I called you. But it looks like you were very busy, and you didn’t hear my
phone call.”
Obviously, Aldor knew that Stella had called him. But Keegan ordered him not to pick up her call. So, he
could only ignore it.
Aldor acted as if he could not tell that Stella was being sarcastic. He then said, “I’m so sorry. I was in a
meeting just now. My phone was in my office. This is on me for not communicating properly with the
receptionist of the secretary’s office before I left. He’s a newly hired employee. So, it’s inevitable that he
missed something. Sorry for the trouble, Mrs. Kane. Please follow me.”
‘He explained so flawlessly. I would’ve believed him if I didn’t hear Keegan say that he didn’t know me.
‘They’re both terrible people!’
Just when they got off the elevator, Aldor asked, “Mrs. Kane, why did you come to the office?”
Stella lifted up the bag she was holding, “I have something that I need Keegan to help me to pass to his
mother.”
Aldor said, “Is that it?”
She did not have anything else that she wanted to give him. But she still wanted to divorce Keegan. And
she had to tell him that personally. So, she said, “I still have something that I want to discuss with
Keegan.
But Aldor said, “Mr. Kane still hasn’t had his breakfast.”
Stella was confused.
‘What does this have to do with that?”
Aldor saw the confusion in her eyes. He then said, “Mr. Kane would be in a bad mood if he doesn’t have
his breakfast. So, things wouldn’t go well if you discuss something with him now.”
Stella was speechless.
‘I’ve heard of people waking up on the wrong side of the bed. But, I’ve never heard of someone being in
a

bad mood if they don’t have their breakfast. What’s wrong with him?
“Is there nothing to eat in your company cafeteria?”
“Mr. Kane is quite picky. He doesn’t eat in the company cafetería”
Stella believed that.
‘Keegan’s known for being a bicky eater. He doesn’t like it if the food is too oily, too salty, too saucy, too
sour, or too spicy. He won’t eat the grilled eggplant if he notices there’s a tiny bit of the eggplant’s skin.
He won’t eat the vegetables if they aren’t cooked just right. He’ll get diarrhea if he eats leftover food.
And, although he doesn’t like parsley, he’ll request the chef to add parsley to the noodle soup. But, he’ll
then pick out all the parsley
‘Sometimes, I can’t help but complain about him. Luckily, he was born into a rich family. If he was born
into an average family, I guess he’d be beaten to death before he could grow up!
As she thought that, Stella said, “There are a few high–end eateries downstairs, right? Go and buy some
food for him from those restaurants.”
Aldor smiled, “Mr. Kane doesn’t like to eat that kind of food. He likes to eat home–cooked meals. For
example, the lunchbox that he brought in the past. He liked it a lot.”
