Chapter 2399
Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted Chapter 2399-Jaylene snapped out of her thoughts and frowned. "Mom, I wanted to talk to you about that. Why did you assign Stella's former driver to me? A person who betrays their boss once can do it again. I don't want him driving for me."
Darcie replied calmly, "He has extensive driving experience and stable skills. Plus, when he betrayed Stella, he was also covering for your people. If you don't clean up the mess for your team, who will dare to help you in the future?"
Jaylene was stunned and widened her eyes. "Mom, is he your man?"
"Not exactly, but he won't harm you. I trust him to be by your side."
Although reluctant, Jaylene agreed. "Has Keegan contacted you in the past two days?"
Keegan almost never initiated contact with Jaylene. She was the one who usually reached out to him. But she didn't dare tell Darcie that. Darcie always advised her to be dominant in relationships, not led by the nose. She was quite dominant with Aaron, who listened to her in everything. But if she didn't contact Keegan, he would never call. Occasionally, he would send WhatsApp greetings and flowers as a friend. She took a step forward, and he took a step back, always maintaining a subtle distance that made her anxious and more obsessed.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
If she told the truth to Darcie, she would be lectured and possibly asked to stay away from Keegan. So she immediately shook her head. "No."
Darcie said, "Tell me in detail how you tested him that day."
Jaylene was embarrassed to talk about being scared by a bug, so she lied. "I wanted to pour hot water on Stella to see Keegan's reaction, but their nanny was in the living room, and I couldn't find a chance. Besides, Stella was always on guard and didn't expose her back to me."
"Mom, I think you're overthinking it. Keegan looks at Stella with cold eyes, and they argue after a few words. I don't believe he's that good at acting. Don't you remember when we were young, my brother broke the head teacher's office window playing basketball? Everyone helped cover it up, but he confessed immediately. He doesn't lie well."
"Can he be the same now as when he was a child?" Darcie said angrily. "I asked you to test him, but the more you look at him, the more you like him."
Jaylene blushed. "I was just giving an example. Keegan won't lie."
"Fine, get out," Darcie rubbed her temple. "I have a headache."
"Oh." Jaylene took a few steps, then remembered what Julia had asked her to do. She turned and said softly, "Mom, I want to hire an assistant."
Darcie raised an eyebrow. "Don't you have an assistant?"
Jaylene explained, "The one you assigned is like a mute all day. She doesn't know the answers to most questions. I can't work with her. I want to find someone myself."
Darcie frowned. "You're here to work, not for a talent show. The people around you have
based on their assed examsm
on their abilities. Don't always try to be special. How can others respect you if you do that? How much of the work you do is done by you, and how much is done by others while you just sign off?"
Jaylene felt guilty and tried to deflect. "I've only been in the company for a few months and am still learning."
Darcie said earnestly, "Since you can't
do it, don't pretend. You're not
working overtime alone. If you work overtimento do real work, others
won't say anything. But if you push all the work onto others, who do you think will respect such a leader?"
"Then I can't just leave after work like Stella, right? Wouldn't that make people gossip about me?"
