Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted by Eleven Jewell

Chapter 2052
Realizing that her threats had no effect, Stella shifted her strategy, employing charm. She messaged: [Honey, help me out, and
I'll do whatever you ask for the rest of this month.]
Keegan, eyeing the calendar, responded: [There's only 13 hours left in the month.]
Stella quickly bargained. [Then I'll extend it to next month. You can call the shots next month, your word is law.]
Having been promised the moon too many times, Keegan did not buy it. He feigned reluctance, typing: [Nah, I don't have the
knack for being in charge. I'd rather not take on that responsibility. I think you're doing a fine job and I'm happy to let you take the
reins. The hard work of being Mrs. Kane suits you.]
Stella was momentarily speechless, realizing that she had overplayed her hand with promises. To make a compelling offer, Stella
decided to play her trump card.
She suggested: [Honey, do you remember that queen's costume from the drama? There were more gorgeous outfits. If you like, I
could call Daniel, and we could buy them all. I could wear each one for you in the evening. How does that sound?]
Keegan, startled by the proposition, coughed on his water, his ears turning red.
Stella, growing impatient while watching the "typing'' indicator flash on her phone, finally received a message from Keegan: [I'm
not ordering it for her, but you can use my account.]
Elated, Stella sent a sticker saying: [You're the best.]
Keegan amused yet stern, reminded Stella: [Don't forget your promises. Or

I won't trust you again."
To forge a mutually beneficial alliance of mischief, Stella swallowed her pride and contacted Daniel.
Daniel, bypassing Stella's lengthy explanation, suggested, "Next time you're in a historical drama, have your guy come pick. It'll
save me a fortune if he buys them after you're done filming."
Stella was speechless.
After that, Daniel sold her the costumes, but the total cost was less than the queen's costume alone. Confused, Stella
confronted, "Did you overcharge me forthat costume last time?"
Daniel shrugged off her concern. "Prices during a trend aren't the same months later."
i'm at a loss because of you, Keegan!' Stella thought to herself.
When Keegan saw the payment screenshot Stella sent, confirming her purchase, he sent her the account verification code.
Stella, using Keegan's account, ordered a bouquet with a personalized note.
Caline was surrounded by office buildings, making the boba tea shop below extremely popular. Xavier had to queue for almost
half an hour.
While on the elevator, Xavier encountered Jaylene, who was with a colleague. She glanced at the boba tea in his hand, then
greeted him with a smile. "Xavier, it's been a while since I've seen you, and you haven't been in touch."

Trevor had been busy traveling the world with only one bodyguard, leaving Xavier behind to handle some affairs at the company.
It had indeed been almost a month since Jaylene last saw him.
However, Xavier did contact her with a holiday message. He assumed Jaylene likely overlooked it amid the many greetings she
received, making his attempt unremarkable.
Xavier smiled and replied, "I've been busy."
Jaylene teased, "So, Trevor turned you into Stella's assistant, and now you're even fetching boba tea? Arent your office duties
enough?"
At Caline, there was a well-stocked pantry with high-quality tea, coffee, and fruit tea, so employees rarely needed to leave for
drinks. They usually opted for deliveries or relied on pantry staff, following a policy set by Darcie to maintain efficiency and
minimize work disruptions.
Xavier kindly responded, "Ms. Hall is still getting acquainted with everything here, so I'm not too swamped at the moment."
He handed a boba tea to Jaylene. "Got one for you too."
Jaylene smiled, thanked him, and casually pulled out a piece of chocolate from her pocket to offer to Xavier. Then, shaking her
boba tea, she said, ■' Let's grab a meal together once things settle down. My treat."
